Whew....

Its been an intense 2 days....let me tell you what! I have been reading over material, meeting people, reading some more, trying to understand a whole bunch of stuff, attending a Gospel Meeting at night and TRYING to organize my life which includes laundry and relaxing. This new job is kicking my rear! Its only the 2nd day and I am already wondering how on earth am I going to do this!?!? I am, however, happy to be back on a set schedule and maybe just maybe get to work out! I feel terri-b-l-e because I haven't gotten to catch up with my friends and I have been MIA. But I know (because they are the B-E-S-T) they understand and are sooo happy that I have found something new and exciting!

As I mentioned before, this week has been our Gospel Meeting at church. It has been a great week so far and I have learned so much. There has been a great crowd and it's great to see many people you haven't seen in a while. Tonight, we heard a lesson on how we should be treating people (everyone) the way Jesus treated people. I think this is a very important lesson to hear- even though its something that we should already be doing. Sometimes, we get (I mean I know that I do) so caught up in our everyday lives that we forget how we treat people. There is so much bad and meanness in the world, but I believe that if we all treat everyone the way that He did, then this world would be SOOOO much better. Just remember, it takes more out of us to be mean, than it does to be nice!

Goodnight, sweet dreams....everyone, have a fab day tomorrow!

Fresh start


Tomorrow, I get a fresh start! I get to start a new job at a new company. I am beyond excited and thankful for this opportunity.

This weekend my fam and I traveled to watch the Mets play the Braves in a spring training game. We all got sunburned but it was so good to watch the Braves play again. I love the spring and am so happy that opening day is just around the corner. We then stopped at the outlets and I got a couple of cute new items to wear to the new job...I am so cute!! I got a CUTE Vineyard Vines skirt for only $40.00. YAY!

Anywho, I got to talk to my little Ansley tonight!! It was so great to catch up with one of my good friends that I haven't talked to in a while. I miss her so! I hope that she gets into school here so we can live together :)

This wasn't a very organized post, but hey, it doesn't have to be! I hope everyone has a great Monday!

Catching up and slowing down

Wow. This time last week I was arriving back from Houston. Last Sunday was one of the worst days of my life. I found out, before I came home from Houston, that my Grandmother had passed away on Saturday. My MeeMaw was one of the most influential people in my life. I loved her so much and will miss her beyond belief. Please continue to keep our family in your prayers. Thank you to everyone who has been there with us during this very difficult time. I'm not going to make this sad because she wouldn't want that!

This week has been incredibly rough. But....I had to put on a strong face for one of my best friends Ali's wedding! She was gorgeous and I was so thankful that she picked me to stand beside her on her wedding day. I had soo much fun and everything looked beautiful. I will post pics whenever I have them :) The photographer Margot was fabulous! We all had so much fun with her- she became so close with us and I'm so happy that we got to know her! Mr. and Mrs. Denny, thank you for an incredible weekend!!! I am so happy for you two!

I never got to post anything about my trip to Houston. Thanks to Kelly and Joey I had an amazing time out there. I got to fall in love with a city and also got to participate in so many special things with Kelly. I am so happy for my best friend and I can't believe that she is getting MARRIED!!! Everything was just absolutely perfect! It was so good to see my best friend and her fiance....I can not believe that I haven't seen them since August...wow! I had sushi for the first time....and ate it with chopsticks! The Rodeo was AWESOME!!! I am so glad that I got to experience the famous Houston Rodeo! I can't wait to go back out there and spend some more time! Thank you soooooo much Kel and Joey! I love them so much!

I am off to bed now to rest up from this intense couple of weeks....I hope everyone has a great week!

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and weekend!

Well....

I got the job! After I left my other job, I began applying at different places around the city. Well, my first choice was at a HUGE company....I went for an interview, and well...I got the job! I am so excited and can't wait to see where this journey takes me. My first day is March 21st...so I've got a while...but still I couldn't be happier!

Oh, I totally forgot to wish a very Hapy Birthday to my friend Cassidy! I hope you had a great day! She is currently pregnant and is due very soon! Her and her hubby are going to be wonderful parents to baby Brooks (what a cute name)!

Last night for dinner, we ventured to Barbara Jeans in Amelia Island. If you haven't made your way there....please do so! It is fantastic food...may I suggest the crab cakes. Everything that I've ever had there was amazing!

In just two weeks my dear friend Ali will be Mrs. Denny. I can't wait for this special day in their lives and am so honored that I get to be a part of it. I know that I have said it before, but I have the best friends in the entire world. I wake up this morning (I know, its Saturday morning and I am up THIS early...I'm going to help my Daddy at the office this morning) and I have a missed call and voicemail. It's from Ali. She called to just tell me that she is proud of me and that she is so blessed to have me as a best friend. I mean, that makes getting up early def worth it.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday! Enjoy the spring-y weather...yay! :)

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is a special day! Two of my dear friends share this birthday.....happy birthday Phil and Shelley! I miss you two very very much!

This weekend was jammed packed with soo many things! 3 of my friends were in town and it was one thing after another-which was SO much fun! It was so good to see everyone and am so thankful to have such great people in my life. I forgot to mention how beautiful the weather was this weekend- I mean 70's the whole weekend. Loved it!

Tonight, I have been lame to say the least. We had Ladies Night Out at church- which this was my first one. I have never attended one- but Shelley asked me to and since she was in town and it is her bday- I decided to break down and go. My mum even made a special appearance. It was a lot of fun and I even came home with a gift card for Subway. Yum!

Can I just vent here for a moment? K. Thanks. I love love love about 4 shows on tv right now. And 3 of them come on on the same night. How. annoying. I couldn't possibly decide to watch one over the other- its really just an impossible decision. I mean The Bachelor, Greek, and Gossip Girl...come on!!! Ok. I am done now. So, y'all can all guess what I have been doing since I got home. Yep. That's correct....watching TV and doing some laundry.

Oh yea...and before I totally forget....my friend Ali...has FINALLY started to blog. She had mentioned that she may want to do so, so I kind of talked her into it! She is a lovely person and everyone should check it out. It's name is Ali's Heart and it can be found here alisheart.blogspot.com

Well....I hope everyone has had a great Monday! Sleep well and enjoy your Monday evening!

Words on this Wednesday




I just saw these two quotes on a fabulous blog I read and thought they went along with what I am going through....

Back to relaxing! :)

Valentine's and Hulu

Valentine's Day this year....as it is every year was very uneventful. Ha. I love the color pink, the color red, hearts and chocolate so it seems like the perfect holiday right? Well, not so much. But, I'm not one of those bitter people. Monday, was also the first day working for my Dad. It's been pretty good all week- but the next two days are a little bit busier. I am VERY confident that I made the right decision. :)

So, since this is the off season for me with my fav sports, I have taken this time to catch up on some shows that I have totally neglected over the past few months. Hulu has proven to be my BEST FRIEND! Ok, so I know that I am totally behind in the times, but Hulu is great!

In the other news, I am super PROUD of Bachelor Brad got rid of that crazy girl Michelle! I have to admit that I didn't have much faith in Brad, but he made a very smart decision on Monday night.

I have a few friends coming in town for this weekend, so I'm sure it will be awesome! Just think, we are only 2 days away from Friday...YIPPIE SKIPPIE!

Loves!

P.S. Just a little side note: I have the best friends in the ENTIRE world. That is all :)

Wooo Hooo Frrriiidddaayyyyy

So, as you can see from the time of this post, it is officially 11:28 pm on a Friday evening. I am currently laying in bed. I just got done catching up on the very few episodes they have of Greek up there that I have missed over the past few weeks due to GG and the Bachelor. Wow, I am so totally lame but I have to be up early in the am (I know, its a Saturday) to proctor the SATs at a local high school.

Today was my last day at work. My fellow coworkers made it such a great day with lunch, cupcakes, and balloons! I will most def miss their smiling faces and inside jokes that we have but I am very excited and optimistic about what the future holds.

Well, its time to head to bed. I hope everyone enjoyed their Friday's!! Have a fabulous weekend!
