2nd day

My 2nd day of work went well. I have a huge project that I'm working on and it's overpowering my training; but I enjoy being busy and productive. So far, still so good.

Blake's 2nd day of school went well last night. He is getting used to the routine, which is nice :0)

Everything else is going good. Blake accidentally left the bathroom door open today when he left for work. Our precious princess got into the toilet paper and had a blast. At least she didn't pee everywhere!
I'm going to attached pictures on our website for your enjoyment.

Hope you are having a good week.

It was a fun day!

I started my new job today and so far, so good. I am heading up a project and met a bunch of new people. Unfortunately, I'm not good with names but luckily I had my handy-dandy note pad so I could write them down. I was very busy, which is a LOT different than my last job. Blake is at school tonight, so it's just the girls!

Blake was sick all weekend so we were not able to go camping. I drove out on Friday night for dinner and then headed back to take my sicky. He has since recovered and is back at it full force. I'm still crossing my fingers that I didn't catch that nasty bug!

We had a good weekend. I got a few projects done around the house while Blake was resting.
Pretty good weekend, despite the camping. Now on towards a great week!

Hope you have a great week too.

Long Friday

It's going to be a long Friday...I'm exhausted and it's just doing to be a long day.
Poor Blake is really sick. He started feeling bad yesterday morning and it came on strong. He is now running a fever and has to work until 12. I feel so bad for him. He didn't sleep all night. I hope that I don't get it. I feel exhausted and drained but I don't have any symptoms he has. It would SUCK to get sick now...because I am starting a new job on Monday. I'm going to just have to down the water and gets lots of rest.
Now that Blake is sick, we are probably not going to go camping. Part of this is good, because we can get some good rest and part of this sucks...because we always look forward to this every year. Depending on how Blake feels will determine whether or not I go.

We ate with Chris & Sara last night at Macaroni Grill (which was wonderful) and finished watching "The Pursuit of Happyness". It was really good. If you like "feel good" movies, this is a good one.

Today is my last day at Eco-Energy. Looking forward to starting my new job on Monday!

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

1 more day

One more day to go......
UPDATE: The days are still going by super slow.

Lunch with Maren yesterday was spectacular. Last night, I went grocery shopping for the camping trip and then met Mom and Dad @ BRICKS (love that place). Afterwards, we started watching The Pursuit of Happyness and almost finished but we were both tired. So far it is a super depressing movie and some people that have seen it said that it will make you cry, so I have a feeling it isn't going to get any better. I did not know that the little boy is actually Will Smith's son...how cute.

Taylor is still doing good with potty training. I think the change was when we let her stay out at night. Yesterday, we locked her up in the bathroom during the day (because we both had a 9-10 hour day) and she held it THE WHOLE DAY. I'm so proud. I think she understands now! YAH! I feel kinda weird blogging about my puppy's bladder control....but it's whats going on in our life. HA!

Tomorrow we are going camping! Unfortunately, we will not be going on the pontoon or fishing. The Center Hill dam is cracking and could break at any moment. I do not want to chance that (esp. the fishing or canoeing part, which is under the dam). Plus, I have to be a responsible parent and watch the puppy, so the pontoon for the day is out. I'm uncomfortable putting her on an open boat. I don't trust her that much! So...we are planning on hiking and eating a lot and sleeping in. Taylor is still sleeping on our head, so that is keeping us up through the night. I finally put her on the floor and let her manage for herself and we both got sleep from about 3am on.

I'll start my new job as a Purchasing Coordinator / Administrative Assistant at CHS on Monday, which I'm excited but nervous about. I think it will go great but feel a lot of pressure to perform.

Will keep you posted...take care.

Is it over yet?

This week is slowly going by...feels like it will never end. Work is super slow as I'm wrapping up my last week.
I'm going to lunch today with my bf, Maren, for her birthday. YAH!
Then, I'm going to prepare for camping this weekend, which I am VERY excited about.

Last night was very uneventful, which we loved. Taylor is still doing great with potty training. She slept on my head last night. Very comfortable. I just talked to Blake and apparently she slept on his head last night too. He was just as excited as me :0)
Tonight, our first Netflix movie will arrive, The Pursuit of Happyness (no, I didn't misspell that, that's how they spell it). We've got a lot to do to prepare for our camping trip, so hopefully we will have enough time to enjoy some relaxation.

Have a wonderful hump day!

Backache

I went walking last night and the little neighbor boy wanted to go with me because he wanted to ride on his wheely shoes (not sure of the "technical" name). About 15 minutes into our walk, he decides that his feet hurt...so since I am the one who agreed he could go, I decided to carry him on my back to his house. It took me 25 minutes. My back is KILLING me! I knew it was going to hurt as soon as I picked him up...but it's my own fault. I feel old.

Blake officially started his program last night. He went to school from 6-10pm with only 1 break! He was exhausted when he got home...but the overall consensus is that he likes it, he loves his group and it is just going to take him some time to a) readjust to homework and studying and b) sitting through class for that long and still manage to pay attention. I think he likes going one day versus 4 days a week, though.

I think I'm going to go to dinner with my bf, Maren, tomorrow to celebrate her birthday (even though it's belated at this point) and then I'm going to prepare for our camping trip this weekend! YAH!

Boo

I hate Monday's...especially now. Blake usually has Mondays off; so it really sucks to get out of bed while he is still sleeping. Now, on Mondays, Blake will have class...which means he won't be home until 10:30ish, so Taylor and I will get a lot of quality time together. Part of this is good though, I can get some housework done....but it still sucks to not see him all day :0(

We had a fabulous weekend. Guntersville, AL was GORGEOUS. Hard to believe that a place that small (and in AL - haha) could be so beautiful. Blake is from AL and he had no idea this place was so gorgeous. The boys went fishing and the girls went shopping and walking. We took Taylor on a 3 mile walk, but she only lasted about 1/4 of the time.

I visited some friends church; First Baptist in Smyrna. I loved it! I can't wait to go back...I just wish that Blake could join me. Hopefully, soon he will have a schedule change. I did house and yard work last night while Blake finished up his homework.

Next weekend is going to be AwEsOmE! We are going camping with the fam at Center Hill for the entire weekend. It should be a lot of fun with game playing, fishing, possibly boating and relaxing in the sun. I hope it is good weather! With this cooling off, it should be.

This is my last week at my current job, so I've been wrapping up some loose ends. I will start my new job at CHS on Monday. Hopefully, I won't be pooped out. :0)
