As usual it has been a busy life at the Martitz house! It has taken me a couple weeks to finally get around to blogging, but I've snuck a few minutes to share :)
First off, a little good news :) I accepted a job at a local dental office a few days ago and I am thrilled to get started! I have been very very picky as far as applying for jobs since Jordan has such a great job and I wanted to be home when he was. Pretty much the only thing up here for jobs is retail and fast food. It has been discouraging at times, but I have also enjoyed the opportunity the settle in and be a stay at home wife for a few months :) I interviewed with the dental office and had a pretty good hunch they were going to call me back. Sure enough, the next day I recieved a phone call. I still hadn't made my mind up about how I felt about the practice and the interview, but then they offered me $4 more and hour than I expected. Needless to say, that was the deciding factor! I think most of it was that I was scared of how big of shoes I had to fill, but I am going to give it my all and do my best! I will be starting in the next few days. Can't wait!
The last few years, I have been MIA for Jordan's birthday for one reason or another, so it was a running joke with us after we got married if I was going to throw him a birthday party on his "half" birthday which is September 26th. He hadn't mention it since we got married and so I was hoping he totally forgot about it. I decided to go all out and throw a party with friends. Jordan never buys anything for himself so I figured it was a good excuse to spoil him :) While he was at work, I spent the whole day decorating and making his cake. I did a basketball theme and it turned out super cute! Our friends came over and we had lots of food and played games. He was super surprised and I was thrilled that I could actually pull it off! It is hard to pull one over on him without him knowin, but this girl snuck it past him! I was sooo proud of his cake that I made! Take a look :)
Looks yummy right?!
I am soooo happy that the weather is finally somewhat cooling down here! Even in the 70s and I am a happy girl! I love Fall, it is my favorite season! I love all the leaves changing, warm sweatshirts, and cuddling :) I broke out the sweaters and scarves a little early, but I decided to hurry on the fall spirit :)
We had had a few events also the last few weeks! Some friends of ours from Twin Falls live in Moscow now, which is about 25 min away from Lewiston! Their little girl, Addyson, turned 5 and so we got to drive up and celebrate with her! She is such a cutie and it was fun to catch up with friends :)
Happy Birthday Miss Addyson!!!
So as most of you know, I am a pinterest addict! I blogged previously about making a dry erase frame that says "I love you because". It has a dry erase marker by it and we take turns writing cute things on it. We were super good at doing it at first, but then it dwindled a little bit. BUT, about a week ago, I woke up to the sweetest surprise message! It made my day <3
Yup I have the best hubby!
Speaking of the best hubby, Jordan is KILLING his territory here in Lewiston! This last month was considered a "push" month where they have to sell more than usual for the company to make budget for the quarter. Jordan ended up achieving 118% of his budget!!!! WHEW!! He was so thrilled and I couldn't be more proud of him! He is doing so great with the territory and constantly growing new accounts. Way to go babe!
As many of you know, I have longed to start my own photography business for quite some time! I recently named my photography "Face Expressions Photography" and ordered business cards!! I met with the Small Business Development Center to acquire the proper licensing and I am looking to license the first part of next year. I am so excited to finally be following my dream in photography and sharing my passion with others!! check out my blog faceexpressionsphotography.blogspot.com or on facebook as "Face Expressions Photography".
So we have made some friends here in Lewiston, but best of all, the Jeppson's. We pretty much live at each other's houses several nights a week, and are up till wee hours of the morning on weekends, fighting over an intense game of pinochle or Rook. We <3 Jordan and Jenika and are so happy we met them :) They are crazy and fun just like us. PERFECT!
That about sums up our life right now :) New opportunities ahead and we are making Lewiston home. Jordan is on call coming up and so we are headed for Spokane, WA for the weekend with the Jeppson's full of shopping, food, and fun. Can't wait!!
Hope all is well with you and you family :)
