This post is long over due...

It's been a while. That is because we have had so so many changes in the last couple months. Like, A TON of changes. The following "post" was written on 8/11/10, but I didn't post it because as I was writing, I received a call from UVU about a job. UVU was my first choice because Brady works here, goes to school here and we love Utah county!

So I really didn't know what was going to happen, but in the end I worked at the University of Utah Hospital for 7 weeks. I got a job offer from the Behavioral Science Dept. at UVU and could not turn it down. I've been at UVU for a week now and I am sooo happy with the change. It's amazing how thing just seem to work out!

I now give you, my post written on 8/11/10.

I, Brittany Fish, got a job!!!!!! I am so excited right now!!!!!!!!!!! It is the best job I have applied for and I just can't even believe how blessed I have been.

As some of you may know, Brady and I had to move in with his parents in Heber, UT because I could not get a job anywhere for over 3 months. I was extremely sad to leave our perfect, cute apartment and our ward. I was just called into Young Womens! But Brady and I knew we couldn't do it anymore.

We have been in our new, tiny bedroom for a month now and it is honestly the best thing ever. It is so funny how one second you can be so distraught and the next moment so very peaceful. I have absolutely loved living here for the past week and I know I will enjoy it for months to come.

The job search was very discouraging. I have never had a harder trial in my life. I had applied for over 70 jobs and had only 3 interviews. Talk about depressing! I was super close to getting one of the jobs too, even had a 2nd interview. But in the end, I had nothing. I couldn't compete with people who had masters degrees and 15 years experience!

When I applied for this job, I was basically a robot. Find a job, click apply, upload resume, rewrite cover letter, done. I kept an Excel spreadsheet of my current jobs applied for, the location and what the position was. Once I got an e-mail rejecting my application, I would take it off the list. The most I ever had applied for at one time was 32.

I applied on July 28. I got a phone call on August 3 asking if I could interview the next day. Of course I said yes. My interview went extremely well. I was there for an hour and a half. I felt really good about it, but I didn't want to get my hopes up.

Okay, so what is the job?! I am going to be an Executive Secretary for the CARMA Center at the University of Utah Hospital. WOW, right? CARMA stands for Comprehensive Arrhythmia Research & Management Center.


Now onto the important stuff. I have been praying and fasting for a job since the beginning of April. I was on the verge of being obsessed with finding a job. I would search for jobs online for hours. In the beginning I was picky, but by the end I was applying for everything, even in other states.

My dad organized a family fast last Sunday, August 1. It was the last day at "our" ward and I was very emotional I knew Heavenly Father had a plan for me, but at the time I really couldn't see past a day. My whole family fasted, including my in-laws.

Monday morning, I got an e-mail from a company in American Fork who wanted to interview me on Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon I get an phone call from the U wanting to interview me on Wednesday. Wednesday morning I get an email from another company wanted to interview me next Tuesday. Wednesday afternoon I get a call from yet another company wanting to interview me next Wednesday.

The blessings just started POURING down. When it rains, it pours. It was one of the most awesome experiences I have ever had because everyone's faith and prayers revolved around ME! Can you believe that? Not even 5 days later and I have an awesome position offered to me!!

All I can say is THANK YOU! Thank you to my family, friends and co-workers at UVU. I could sincerely feel the support and prayers this past week. Now I know what people are talking about when they are sick and say they can literally feel the prayers being said on their behalf.

This is going to be a journey to say the least. The hospital is in Salt Lake City on the University of Utah campus. After a year, Brady can transfer to the U and receive tuition benefits. We have health insurance! This is the best!

All the benefits apply to UVU as well, except instead of a 50% tuition discount, tuition is free :)

We have been in Heber for 2 and a half months now, and we have no complaints!! Brady and I both get along great with his parents, and we have adjusted to the small space just great. I'm so grateful to have such awesome in-laws! THANK YOU!

Summer Update

Summer has been much better!! Here are a few updates.

1. We had the Fish family reunion in Heber, UT on July 1-2. It was really fun to get to know Brady's family better. I finally met 2 of Brady's brothers who I had never even met before!! One of them is married with 4 kids even haha. It was really great!



2. I went to California with my family. Brady wasn't able to come, but he stayed home with his family so I didn't feel too bad. The weather at the beach was rather unfortunate, but it was still fun to be with my family. Going to the beach is my favorite vacation ever!!! This is where I celebrated 4th of July. Random fact: Brady and known/dated each other for FOUR 4th of July's and we have never been together on any of them. We have been married for 2 of them and still have never had one together. Kind of sad bc it is one of my favorite holidays!



3. I went to girls camp for a day. I only went one day because I had to work then we had the reunion. It was a different experience than I was expecting. It is much different going as a leader rather than a girl. You are probably thinking "Um, yeah. Duh" But really, I thought the leaders have just as much fun. Well it is different when you are new in YW and 20 years younger than the other leaders. Puts me in limbo, but I still had fun with my girls.

4. I went to Youth Conference. This was super fun! My yw and I are closer now and we had a lot of fun activities. BBQ, water fight, fireside, testimony meeting, floating provo rivier. Good times.

5. Brady and I are going to California this weekend for our friend Keri's wedding!! YAY!!!! I am so excited to have a mini-vaca with Brad-dawg. It's been way too long. And he deserves a small break from his school classes during the summer. We are staying the night in Vegas on Thursday night with my old roommate Carrie and I am super excited to see her and meet her husband!!


6. We went on a walk last night and the sky was so beautiful. This summer, I have realized how beautiful Utah is!! I love it!! Last Saturday, Brady and I rode 120 miles on his motorcycle! We went up the canyon to Park City. It was wayyyyyyy fun!!



7. Brady and I have been playing cards...a lot. Like every night haha.

8. The only negative thing right now is that I still don't have a full time job. I had a 2nd interview for a job on Wednesday, but I think it fell through. I know something will come soon though!!! I hope :)

Summer

This has been an interesting summer so far. It is really different being 22 rather than 15 during the summer. It's not as exciting. It's also different living in a place where there is no pool to hang out at or go swimming. I definitely do not like that. I am excited for the Fish family reunion this weekend and I am excited to go to California with my family on Saturday. I need to do some "summer" stuff. Any suggestions??

Quote to Live By


"...Women should be women and not babies that need petting and correction all the time. I know we like to be appreciated but if we do not get all the appreciation which we think is our due, what matters? We know the Lord has laid high responsibility upon us, and there is not a wish or desire that the Lord has implanted in our hearts in righteousness but will be realized, and the greatest good we can do to ourselves and each other is to refine and cultivate ourselves in everything that is good and ennobling to qualify us for those responsibilities." -Eliza R. Snow

Brady's New Blog

Good Morning!! I have some exciting news to share. Brady has started a new sports blog and I want everyone to follow it. Inform your husbands, because my hubby has some very good insight and interesting ideas.

He predicted what needed to happen in game 2 of the finals, and he was correct. He really is amazing. Anytime he says something, an ESPN commentator says it an hour later.

Brady wants to be a sports writer when he grows up so this is going to be great experience.

Thanks for your support!!! The blog address is www.hangintheresports.blogspot.com

JOB?

I know these "job" posts probably get really annoying, but I need help!

I graduated at the worst possible time. I've read several articles that say getting a job is almost as hard as it was during the great depression. Yeah, I know you're thinking, "Wow. That's a little extreme." I thought so too. Until now.

I know it has only been 1 month since I graduated, but the frustration is really starting to kick in. Right now I am still working in my student position in the Dev. Math Deptartment at UVU, which I am extremely grateful for. But 20 hours a week at a student's pay is really not making the cut.

I've applied for several jobs. Interviewed for a few. And been hired by none. I've come to realize that the only way I will be able to get a job is through networking. So this is why I am asking you, my fellow blogging friends, if you have any leads at all.

My degree is in public relations, but I am open to anything at this point.

Thank you for your help in advance!!! Please leave me a comment or write me an e-mail at mrsbrittanyfish@gmail.com with any advice, help, support, jobs, tips you would like to give a recent graduate!!

<3

p.s. In response to the post Brady previously wrote, I really had never seen that movie! I watched it this weekend and it was pretty good :)

I have a dream

This is next story is one of the reasons why I love my wife as much as I do. She is (at times) so sweet, trusting and simple.

Today when we were on our way to work we stopped at the Gas-N-Go to get what my Grandpa Jim calls an “awesome”. Going and getting an awesome, to him, is going to any gas station or 7-11 and buying a fountain drink or a Slurpee. I got the new Mountain Dew White Out, which by the way is effing delicious. Apparently it’s one of their 3 new flavors in which you can get online and vote for. I encourage you in your civic duties and urge you to make your voice heard at democracy.com

Anyways, at some point while we were inside I wanted to tell Brittany about a dream I had but we got sidetracked and by the time we got back in the in the car and she asked about the dream I had forgotten what it was about. Instead of telling her I forgot, I decided that I was going to describe a movie that she had more than likely seen, and pass it off as my dream until I had explained so many details that Brittany would eventually say something like, “Wait, that’s not your dream, that’s just du du du du du duh.”

Didn’t happen.

Me (not so slyly): So my dream takes place in the 30’s 40’s era, right around World War Two and the Great Depression.Brittany (shocked/impressed that it’s a time film… err, I mean dream): Whoa-uh, 1930’s?

Me (dismissingly): Yeah, whatever.

I proceed to tell her that in the dream I was a golfer and a really good one at that, I was naturally talented and an all-around happy guy and that Brittany and I were in love. But, because of the time that the dream took place in, I ended up getting drafted along with everyone else from the town and went to war. During the war everybody in my company gets killed and come home to a ‘Hero’s Welcome’ but inside I feel guilty that I didn’t die.

Brittany: Like post dramatic stress or something?

Me (with a small bit of sarcasm): Totally.

I tell her that during the end of war and in the midst of the depression that Brittany’s dad builds the most beautiful golf course in the country. (In real life Brittany’s dad loves golf). Sadly, before he could see it completed he died of some unknown causes and Brittany ends up finishing his dream and decides to have a players invitational inviting all of the best golfers to come a compete for a huge purse. Even at this point it hasn’t registered with Britdawg that I’m describing a movie she even comments on the amount of detail I have about this dream.

Me: I know, right?

So I tell her that the dream continues on and that the people of the town suggest that somebody from the town should actually compete in the tournament and that this little boy suggests I play, much to the towns chagrin because since coming back from the war I’ve become an alcoholic and I don’t golf anymore. Then out of nowhere this vagabond arrives and inexplicably starts helping remember the game of golf and how much I love it. I leave out the part about him only wanting to be paid $5 bucks and given a new pair of shoes, but now I realize that I totally could have added that detail and she would not have been any wiser.

For those of you reading at home, you’ve probably figured out what movie it is. I’m describing, in depth, the plot to The Legend of Bagger Vance. Directed by Robert Redford and stars Matt Damon, Will Smith and Charlize Theron. We pull up to the school and finish describing the movie to Brittany and I almost can’t contain myself and blurt out that I’ve just described a movie that, although not critically received well, most everyone – including her – has seen.

Brittany: You should make this into a movie babe, I’m serious.

Me (holding a straight face): Yeah right, this could never be a movie.

Brittany: No really, its sounds like a Nicholas Sparks book or something.

Absolutely. Incredible.

Guess who is the author of the 1995 same titled book that takes place in the south, just like all of his movie/books, on which the movie is based? That would none other than author Steven Pressfield. Gotcha. I had to Google it to see if it was even a book at all and Nick Sparks didn’t write it, but how AMA-ZA-ZING would it have been if he did. Brittany would probably have even read it in addition to having seen the movie.

At this point I want to see how much I can get away with, and I am even starting to suspect that Brittany knows that it is movie and that in reality I am the one who is getting punk’d, but Britt isn’t the greatest of actresses and I can tell that she genuinely does not know that I’m basically explaining this movie word for word. Pretending to play along with her suggestion of making this dream into a movie I ask her who should play me.

Brittany: Jake Gyllenhaal.

Me: Nah, his features are too dark. We need someone that looks more All-American. Blonde hair, ya know?

Brittany (pondering this): Ummm….

Me: Oh I know… Matt Damon.

Brittany: I don’t know..

Me: Matt Damon for sure and we could even get Charlize Theron to play you because you’ve said that people have told you that you two look alike.

NOTHING!! THAT GETS ME NOTHING! I know that she has seen this movie. She cannot have only seen The Italian Job and Mighty Joe Young. I know that she could not have seen Monster and as far as I’m concerned that was not Charlize Theron in that movie. That movie made me want to get like 11 jobs and never help anyone on the side of the road especially a woman. Instead she is just trying to think of other people that could play Matt Damon’s character. I even go on to suggest that we make the caddy black because the movie takes place in the south during the 40’s and it’d be edgy and what not.

Me: How about Denzel Washington to play the caddy… ooh oh oh! Not him. Will Smith, even better.

Brittany: No. Ew. I was thinking Morgan Freeman and he could narrate it like he does in all of his other movies.

Me: He’s too old. The movie should have Matt Damon, Will Smith and Charlize Theron.

We had been in sitting in the parking lot discussing this and now it was time for me to go into work and as I’m getting out of the car Brittany tells me that she will do research about the (our) movie and hits me with her famous one liner,

“I know stuff.”

Of course you do sweetheart. Right now I’m thinking about renting the movie from Blockbuster and watching it with her tonight, but she’ll probably have read this before that can happen but who knows. At this point I feel like I can get away with anything.

New Calling

Have you heard? I got a new calling. I am no longer teaching the 4 year-olds with Brady. I was kind of sad at first because I really do love those kids, but most of all I loved teaching with my husband.


The first day I went to youg women's I knew it was where I was supposed to be. I LOVE IT.


I am the new laurel's advisor.


I found this video when I was doing some research for my lesson. It is 14 minutes long, but it really is amazing. It's a good reminder for all of us women out there! Click here to see it.

First Anniversary!

May 15 was our one year anniversary!! I honestly can't believe it has already been a year. It seems like it has flown by, yet it also feels like we have been together forever. We had been contimplating what to do and had several different ideas, but in the end we both decided we would have fun sleeping in, going shopping at the outlets in Park City, going out to dinner and going to a movie. Honestly, it was perfect!!! It was such a fun day and a great weekend!
I woke up early (like 8:45 haha) and made crepes for breakfast. It was yummy! I made Brady a movie of all our pictures from the first year with one of my favorite songs. I surprised him and let him watch it during breakfast!! Brady wrote me a nice letter for my gift, which I loved. Keep in mind my birthday was only 3 weeks ago and my graduation was 2 weeks ago so he had spoiled me with many many gifts haha.

Anyway, shopping was great! We found some great deals at the outlets. Then we decided to try a new restaurant called Red Rock in Park City. It is officially our favorite restaurant!!!! Oh my gosh. It is so so good!!!!!! We were excited and happy we tried something new.

That night we saw "Letters to Juliet." It was better than I expected, and Brady has no feelings about it really haha.

I am at work right now so I dont have any pictures but I do want to share this quote I found. It's mostly about before you get married, but I still love it because sometimes there are hard days and quotes like this are what make it easier to get through.



“I am not saying you shouldn’t be very careful about something as significant and serious as marriage. … Yes, there are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been genuine illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. You can find an apartment. You can win over your mother-in-law. You can sell your harmonica and therein fund one more meal. It’s been done before. Don’t give in. Certainly don’t give in to that being who is bent on the destruction of your happiness. He wants everyone to be miserable like unto himself. Face your doubts. Master your fears. ‘Cast not away therefore your confidence.’ Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.”

-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland


Happy Anniversary Brady!!

Birthday and Graduation!

It's been a while since we have posted and I don't like that! My 22nd birthday was on April 23 and it was seriously the best birthday yet. It was my first birthday married and I don't know why, but that makes it better haha. Brady got me the best presents and had a cute sign up with decorations. Love him. I don't have many pictures because my camera was delivered to me later in the evening from Arizona.

Basically I didn't have school that day because it was a study day, but Brady still woke me up at 7 because he was too excited for me to open my presents :). Then we went to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. After we both went to work for a little bit then went to Lauren's graduation bbq, which was great! Then Brady threw me a little surprise party which was the best present ever. Later that night we went and saw Date Night! SO YA! It was a great birthday and I love my husband. And my mom also sent me the greatest gifts too!!!

The next week was my graduation at UVU. I graduated with a degree in Communications (public relations). My family and my grandma came up and it was so fun!! And two of my sisters in law came in town and one of my brother in laws too! So I had so much support and I am so grateful! Thank you Mom, Dad, Emily, Shelley, Davis and Chase too :), Grandma, Lauren, Ashley, Marie, Holly, Ginger, and Todd for being there for me! It's great being finished with school, but now I am on the hunt for a full time job and it's really not super easy, so if you hear of any jobs LET ME KNOW! :)






Well I hope everyone is having a nice week. Mine and Brady's first anniversary is on Saturday, May 15!!! I can't even believe it!! But that is another post in itself :)
