SO EXCITED!!!!

I'M SO EXCITED AND PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!!!!! As my last blog said I put my notice in at work, what it didn't say is I did without having another job lined up. But as D and I were willing to take the chance to get me out of that horrible place. I sent a resume out late Tuesday night and got a call Wednesday morning and went on my interview today. I left the interview feeling very good about it and when I went home I had received a message that I got the job! It's close to home, part time, and the same pay so I'm feeling GREAT! An interesting note on how bad my job got, there are four of us now as of today that have given our notice in my department. Also as for the chef that works closely with our Manager... she had up and quit because she was completely fed up. Now this is what is funny, the owners they think something is wrong with all of us and not our Manager. Nice... right! But anyway, now I'm off too bigger and better things. My Photography dreams will come true I think with-in the next year!

Look out world here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. - If you need a Photographer let me know!

New Year.. New Start!

I have finally said goodbye to my job I have had for the past 2 1/2 years and it feels sooooooooooooooo GOOD! It was an eye opening experience to see how low some people can be when I put my notice in... that's all I'll say! I'm going to start working part time and work on finally getting my photography business up and running! I'm so excited and I have so many idea's in my head. Cross your fingers everyone!

I have to say the new year has been good for D and I. He has been number 1 for 3 months in a row now at work and he just won a flat screen TV!!! I'm so PROUD of him! He ended up exchanging the TV for and bigger one and it's pretty awesome! My Mom and Dad helped us pick it up since you know it's not going to fit in the Mini. Dad also mounted it on the wall for us, D helped!

Our place is coming together quit well I have to say. In a couple weeks were going to have our house warming party and I'm starting to wonder if were going to have enough room! No matter what I'm looking forward to it.

The holidays were nice. We spent Christmas with D's family and we had a quite and relaxing New Year.

December and January have been very busy with birthdays and party's! It's been nice spend more time with friend and it's been nice making new friends!

Our 1st Tree

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!!

So D convinced me to get a Tree! The rule was I got to decorate it! I think I did pretty good for my first time! I love it!!

Happy Birthday EB!!!

Friday night was a lot of fun! I know it wasn't Vegas but I'm sure you had a blast with the after party!!! It was nice to see all those friendly faces!

Sorry Knee I didn't have my camera, so I hope EB will share her pictures!

It's SNOWING!!!!!

Yeah Snow!!! It's always so nice to wake up to snow... it just wasn't enough to have a snow day. Belle's never been to big of a fan of snow. She likes to go to the bathroom right away and come back inside. Can you blame her?

The ride to work was crazy, I just hope going home is better. Drive safe everyone! Hope you have fun in the snow!!!!

Fun times with good friends!!!!

LP's Party was a lot of fun! Knee and I even got to play the Wii!Love the new DO!! :)Happy Birthday VV! D and I

Knee, Jo, and lil D

It was a really nice time to hang out with my friends this weekend. So many laughs Saturday night at LP's. Also a time to reflect on friendships, how a lot has changed and how other friendships are blooming!

Sunday was a gloomy day but brightened by dinner. After a 2 hour wait we finally got to sit down! The free appetizers was a nice touch. It was nice to finally hang out with VV and RV, it felt like the old days which was nice. Will see what the future holds!

It's Been Awhile.

I know I haven't blogged in awhile. Just an update about that both my cousin and friend are doing well now. I was lucky to have two Thanksgivings this year and they were both awesome! One with my family and one with D's. It's nice to surround yourself with the people you care the most about. Now it's time for the next Holidays to roll around. My sister has a good start on most people I think. D and I were having the talk about to have a tree or not too, and he really wants one (??????). And my pumpkin roll was a big Hit and the trukeys were awesome!! I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Bad Times

Two people very close to me are in hospital... and one right after the other! They say when it rains it pours! First last night I found out my cousin CrazyBoy got hurt on the job and had to have EMERGENCY surgery on his hand. He lost one finger and two are pretty damaged. I can't imagine the pain he has gone through and is going to go through. The worst thing is he damaged his other hand like a year ago! Poor guy!

Today at work I found out my friend Blondie had to go to the ER for EXTREME stomach pain! All weak she was saying it hurt and I could tell it did. She was given pain meds and is awaiting the test results.

Blondie and I at last years work Holiday Party

It's a little wake up call, you never know when something horrible can happen to someone you hold dear to your heart.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD AND SAFE WEEKEND!

Nice Nite!!!

Last night D and I met my family (after 20 mins of them all begging and whining on the phone to "please come...PLEASE!!!") at the farm for a picnic that Paw-Paw was throwing. At first I didn't want to go because I was tried from all the work D and I were doing at the house. I have to say my sister has a house full of little actress and actors! Thanks guys I'm glad you pushed me. It was a nice brisk night by the bonfire! The kids were roasting marshmallows and it was relaxing to sit back and relax.

(To bad my battery was dying, that's why i don't have any good pics of the kids)

This was from Saturday. This was hard picture to take... no one wanted to stay or sit still!

A Good Time with GOOD Friends!

So, I haven't blogged in awhile and I'm going to try and cut down on my picture usage! Last weekend D and I attempted to revamp this old desk and chair we bought but we kept using the weather as our excuse not to do it. It was in fact really windy but, now we have to do it this weekend! Later that day I went to my friends sons birthday party and it was a lot of fun! D and I were running around with the kids and Ang bouncing and sliding as much as our non exercising hearts would allow us! The party also had it's very interesting side, I felt that I didn't know half of my friends! But, that's okay I know who I can count on and who I can't. It's SAD really how you can be so close to someone for years and you've always told each other that no matter how long the gap is that we don't see each other or talk we can always pick up right where we left off! I use to be really proud of that with them but I just don't know anymore. I still have that with other friends. I'll just have to try harder and hope that it is returned and will see what happens. Anyway enough about that! I guess I just needed to vent!

Now I have to brag about my Man... he is doing AWESOME at his new job! In his 1st month he has already won awards for breaking the office record for the number of deals in one month and he won Best Halloween costume! Which I have to say it was very creative! He also received a nice little BONUS!

About Halloween: Work SUCKED no one dressed up but 5 of us! But, Knee's house was a lot of fun! All the costumes were GREAT!!! Not to mention the food was amazing!

I added this picture just cause I thought it was funny of Belle and her bath time!
