My house

It has occured to me that I have not posted a picture of my new house.

awwww

I just looked at pictures from freshman year, and I can't believe how much we have all grown up. Cathy, Becca, and Brannon I miss you all so much. I don't like this growing up business. Can't we go back to that first night of taboo and pop-corn?

Long week

Okay, so that whole I love my job time is over. Reality has set in and I am exhausted after work each day. Honestly if I let it be my job is somewhat depressing. I mean I ask people if they know anyone who is dying. Obviously I believe that Hospice is a great service; I know my family would have been lost without it. Still I feel like a mental patient when I begin thinking about people as potential patients. I have to keep my eyes on the goal of becoming regional administrator otherwise I think I will shoot myself.
In other news, I was going to cut my front yard today however the ground is still wet from all the rain and I got the mower stuck. No worries the boy across the street came over to help me get it unstuck and he is going to cut my grass (only the front and side yards) from now on. Remember when I moved I wanted the ability to cut my own grass not necessarily doing it myself.
Today is my little cousin's 8th Birthday. I have gotten to be more of an aunt than a cousin to all of them because I am so much older. He is a sweet little guy very shy, but very smart!

highlights from the week

Monday: Today was a very stressful day at work. I had a message on my cell phone from my supervisor, and she has a very accusing sounding voice. So I dread calling her back all day luckily when I did call back I got her voicemail too. Also it was raining this morning and I had no power so I felt like a drowned rat all day. Finally, the CEO of the company was in town and since it was raining, I stayed in the office most of the day. Well this is bad since I get paid to be out marketing. However, the way I looked today I had no business being out marketing. It was a lose-lose situation all day. My bright spot happened after work…

SETTING: Alton has been here all weekend helping me do stuff around the house. His project today was to install the motion detector light outside.

THE CONVERSATION: Alton: Well, I installed it on the back light and it didn’t work, then I installed it on the front light and it didn’t work so I came in and read the directions.

Ok so it isn’t nearly as funny reading it second hand, but rest assured it was hilarious when it happened. Alton left about 7. I didn’t think I would but I started crying and couldn’t stop for about 15 mins. I will see him on Friday but it is so weird to know he is more than a phone call and 10 miles away. Thanks for all your help this weekend!

This will be the last entry for a few weeks due to the fact that Cable TV of East Alabama has a monopoly in the area I am moving to and will not be able to hook up my internet and TV until July 19^th. Never fear however I will be bored so I plan to type an update on word and post them when I get internet back. Today was fantastic! I got to call bingo, got a referral from a doctor who has refused to use us for 6 years, and made nurses happy with an afternoon of cookies. I love what I do! Friday will be the first night I spend in my new house. As you all know I am a scaredy cat so Alton will be over there the first night. I plan to take over peaches and my food and the rest of the stuff left in the bathroom over in the morning which means I need to get up when my alarm goes off at 5:30. With that said good night and I leave you with this song to think about.

So here we are in the same old spot knowing something needs to happen but our mouths are locked Tongue tied closed tight sealed shut yup i tried hard but it just wasn't enough

it's on the tip of my tongue it's on the front of my mind yet the words were still so hard to find finally the reality of things that come and push me to the edge I jumped off the cliff into the abyss as I said

I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it

The conversation lingered on and on and before I knew it night had turned to dawn and we'll be searching for the truth in all of this ha are we debating just to win the argument cause none of us wanna hear about where we go wrong this song could easily be from me to you or me to john cause I have the potential to be the guiltiest ha my greatest strength is also my strongest weakness

I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it
I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it

Let's think about this path that we're taking let's think about this future we're creating let's think about it come on think about it let’s think about this time we're spending investing on monetary things that are ending let's think about it then let's think about it and let's think about what we can do to make it better

I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it

What a week :)

I think what a week covers how I am feeling well. I moved yesterday, and after my family was gone and it was just me in my new house I felt very overcome yet satisfied. Just think no more annoying leaky faucets for me to bug my dad to fix, no more having to leave during bad weather, and best of all no more freakin' speedbumps! I have nice neighbors I think I should find out better today. After moving yesterday my aunt Jeanne and I scrubbed baseboards and scuffmarks from the wall.
Funny story time...
as I mentioned before, there is no water at my house yet, so last night I drove back over to Montgomery for the sole purpose of getting a nice hot shower. You need to take a min. To understand how much I was looking forward to this shower. As I got closer I realized my trailer park was dark. I started prying "haha ok God not funny" then pleading, "Please all I want is a hot shower" to no avail. I mustered up the courage to take a shower in the dark, I really have always been afraid of the dark. It was a hot shower so that was good. Now normally a power outage wouldn't be a problem, but I had packed everything up including candles and flashlights. I was in complete darkness for an hour before I fell asleep.
I am about to go back to Phenix City to "finish" unpacking today (yeah right). My goal is no more boxes after three weeks! See you all soon I hope.

I did it

I signed my life away on a million dotted lines yesterday, but i am now a homeowner! I should have taken today off, but i have a presentation at 1:00. I am so happy it is friday! Alton is bringing pizza over tonight and i get to spend some quality time with him before i leave. Well, it is now 8:00 and i have to leave. Thank God It's Friday!!
