Where I Work

Well, I have heard a number of you ask me what I do or where I work. It's a bit complicated, but I will try to make it simple. I work 3 jobs: one at the church, one at Ruby and I am now a rep for Sensaria, a natural bodycare company. Here is a little bit about each one: at the church (Greater Portland Bible Church), my title is Student Ministries Assistant. I make fliers and postcards for both the middle school & high school events. I track registrations for events and process lots of paperwork. I help Kirk (my boss and the youth pastor) get set up for events and retreats. I coordinate bus scheduling & bus drivers. Basically, I do anything Kirk needs help with for running 2 youth groups. check us out at www.pdxchurch.org.
My second job is at Ruby Receptionists. Ryan's aunt, Jill, started Ruby 3 1/2 years ago. Ruby is a virtual reception company. We answer calls for clients all across the nation and even into Europe. We are more than an answering service. We are able to connect callers to our clients and make appointments for doctors, lawyers, dentists, chiropractors, massage theraptists, etc. We also can open a door at one of our client's offices! We pretty much can do anything an onsite receptionist can do. I've been at Ruby since last April and Ryan's little sister, Michelle, also works here. There are about 25 employees at Ruby and I enjoy working with all of the Rubies. Jill (the boss woman) through us a wonderful Christmas party in December where I bid on & won an iPod docking station (which we have set up to our main speakers in our living room) as well as new stainless steel pots and pans. Check Ruby out at www.callruby.com.
My third job I just started this month and I'm very exicted to tell you about it. I am an independant representative for Sensaria. I was invited to Stephanie's "spa party" in October and had a wonderful time. I was able to relax and have fun with friends. So...I hosted my own party and earned lots of free products. I fell in love with Sensaria's products and decided to share their products with others and so I became a representative! I am training for the month of January and am available starting in February. I'm looking forward to sharing Spa Experiences with my friends and their friends and co-workers. My goal is to host 6 Spa Experiences each month. I'm looking forward to my new business doing well.

Ahhh...The Discovery Channel


So, if you ever wondered what Ryan and I do on a Friday night, this is it. Actually, we didn't plan to watch the Discovery Channel all evening, it just so happens that our movie plans failed and on of our favorite shows was on tonight: It Takes A Thief. It's a show about 2 ex-thiefs and how they turned their lives around and they now help people with home security. They ask permission to actually break into these homes and they do it, catching everything on camera. It's pretty entertaining as well as eye-opening. It makes you think twice about having things and placing so much value on them. If you want to check it out, here is more info: It Takes A Thief
