In one week.....

This past tuesday, I started my job here in Anchorage. I love it already! The people are really nice and genuine. It is weird because I am being introduced to my new co-workers and clients as a "tech." It just going to take some time before my mind gets used to hearing that. I work three 12-hr shifts a week so I get 36 hours a week. I have to do a double-take when I am looking at the timeclock because it is still a shock to see so many hours. Because I am still in training with until the end of the month, my schedule is kinda spread out throughout the week instead of having three 12hrs back to back. But, I really like my job! People are respecting my degree and actually listening to my opinion. I am not having to have everything I do check and double checked. Most of the other techs have heard of Bel-Rea, and they are kinda impressed when I tell them that I graduated from there. In fact I thought it was kinda ironic, I saw a commercial for Bel-Rea here in Anchorage a few days ago. Here's the website for the clinic-http://www.petemergencytreatment.com/. I have to type out a Bio and get a pic for the website and for "the wall of pics" at the office. I found out I get paid on the 15th. I am excited about getting money! I have also found a bank that I like.
On other aspects, we have put down a deposit on a nice apartments about 2 miles away from the clinic or a 5min drive away. It is within the budget we wanted and very worth it. It is very nice with covered parking with plug-ins, there is laundry on site on every 2nd and 3rd floor, private patio/deck, and cable is included in the rent(thats just a plus). We will move in about May 1st. It is right down the street from a Fred Meyer. Fred Meyer is the greatest store very created. It is a walmart, target, home depot, and a lowes all in one! It is pretty much the coolest store. And it is in the Kroger family, so my King Soopers card works there! Another plus:) We also were about to borrow a car from the church we visited last sunday. It is paid for and insured. We got the car yesterday so today we are taking it on errands.
Yesterday, we went to the big 5th avenue mall. It is pretty big. It is bigger than any of the malls in Denver with four levels. Graham put in some applications to some of the restaurants and stores. We also went into the Anchorage Museum and He put an application into there too. He really wants to work at the museum. The museum was pretty cool. It had alot of art work and the history of the natives that lived here in Alaska. I got some pictures before my camera batteries gave out. So I will get them uploaded soon.
So we are off to explore the town in our "new" car:)
