Two Jobs a Calling and a New Place to Live

Two Jobs:

Last time I wrote I had just 

started a new job at Gold's Gym. 

I'm still working there a couple 

days a week and loving it!

My coworkers and the kids are a lot of fun. 

On top of working at Gold's I'm 

also working as a Substitute teacher 

for the Kennewick School District.

I work almost every day, which is great.  

My favorite school is Sunset View.

The staff is amazing! It's fun when a teacher 

figures out that I'm related to Tami.

I've had a couple of teachers ask for me to come back, which makes me feel great.

The best part is when I'm subbing at Sunset View and a student will come up and say, 

"Hi Ms. Ottley!".

A fun experience I've had was substitute for 

my fifth grade teacher.  Mrs. Greager was one of my favorite teachers.  

If you would have told me in fifth

grade that I would one day 

substitute for my teacher, I would have 

laughed in your face.

Calling:

When I first came back to the Branch I was called as a Branch Missionary.  

I had a lot of fun working with Bri-Anna teaching Cat the new member lessons.  

It brought me back to the great memories of the mission.  Speaking of the mission, Aug was three years since I came home.  In September I was called as the 2nd Councilor in my Branch Relief Society Presidency.  

This means I'm in charge of the RS meetings.

Our first activity was in October and we carved pumpkins.

Yesterday we had our second activity.  Brother Toolson, 2nd councilor in the Branch Presidency, gave us some car

advice and did a quick check of our cars.

A New Place to Live:

My roommate Michelle decided it 

was time for a new chapter in her life.  

She made an offer on a home in 

West Pasco and it was accepted.

Cinnamon and I have both decided to move

in with her. Closing should take place 

mid to end of December.

New Job!!!

I started a new job this week!

I'm working in the Kids Zone

at Gold's Gym.  I love working with kids!

The staff is amazing too.

How does one graduate from College?

In 2004 I didn't have many plans for my life.  

I was working for an amazing company and was 

comfortable with the idea of staying in the Tri-Cities 

and attending the local community college.

In January of 2005 I decided to apply for 

Brigham Young University - Idaho (BYU-I) 

and was accepted to start in the Fall.  


I packed up and moved into my first apartment 
with Rachel Grover.  
Our other four roommates where seniors.  
They were a fun group of girls.  
As most college apartments
it was small, but perfect.

My initial hope 

was to get into the Nursing Program.  

Sadly, yet okay, I was not accepted into the program and decided to declare my major to be Health Science.  

My fifth semester in school I decided to tack on a Medical Assistant minor.  This only lasted one semester.
In the middle of Medical Law and Ethics
I felt strong impression that I needed to move in with
my brother and his family.  (Thankfully his wife was okay with it)
The summer of 2007 I moved to Seattle Washington
and had one of the best summers of my life!
Just look at these kids.  It was a blast to watch them
grow up!

Towards the end of the summer I made
another life altering decision.
I would serve a Full-Time Mission for the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.


It worked out perfectly that I only had a 
couple more classes to complete 
and I would receive my associates degree.


When I returned from my mission I went
back to school ten days later.  During my mission
(and with a little help from my mom) I decided
to take education classes when I got home.


Five semesters after I got home
from my mission I completed my course work
on campus.  The only thing left was
student teaching.


My parents and I decided that instead
of coming back to Rexburg, after
student teaching, that I would
walk in December instead of April.

I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada for
 student teaching. LOVED IT!!

Now the waiting game begins.  Job hunting
is the new adventure.
