Great News Day!

Well, well, well.... Saturday was a day of great news! ^_^

I'll start with my favorite piece of news! My little sister had her fiance have chosen a date for their wedding. July 4th, 2013... (It's on a Thursday... sooo it may end up changing slightly, but... again, it may not. :)) She also asked me to be her Maid of Honor! ^_^ So excited! Just wish I was a little closer to help out more when it gets closer to the date.

     (On a side note, that makes 6 weddings that I've been in.... or will be in... Alicia & Charles (BM in 2006), Sami & Roy (BM in 2008), Erica & Brian (MoH in 2008), Brit & Aaron (MoH in 2012), Krisha & Trevor (BM in 2013), and Callie & Nick (MoH in 2013). That doesn't include the two weddings that I was in as flower girl when I was little. Starting to feel a bit like Katherine Heigl from "27 Dresses"...)

Annnyway.....

Then, I went into WalMart for my shift.... and was offered the CSM position. I took it, so I am now at the pay grade 6... Sadly though, I won't be able to actually start working up front until they find someone to take my place in Toys. However, if there happens to be a lull or all of us back in the area, I'll probably be pulled up front to train. There's a lot that I have to learn.... I have a feeling. :S

Hm... other good news. The Sara Bareilles concert was amazing! Great music, as always. Quirky personality. Outstanding voice. Perfection. Loved it! Travis went with me! According to Sara, "He's marriage material." (Since he attended the concert, that makes him sensitive which, in turn, makes him marriage material. :))

And now, I'm sitting at home... alone. Travis is working. :( It was so nice to have him home last night instead of him working. Annnnd since I haven't gushed about he and I in a while... be prepared. We're doing great... as always. I mean... I just love being with him... being around him. Kissing him, hugging him. All of it just... brightens my day. He brightens my day. The little things.... the big things. I just am so overwhelmed with.... happiness, love, hopefulness.... all of the above. I want to give him everything. I want to do anything for him.... Just EVERYTHING! ^_^ *sigh*

Okay, I better go before I flood my keyboard. Hope all is well for you, my readers!




Thanks for tuning in!

Latest, Greatest, and not so much....

There's been quite a few things that have happened since the last time I posted. Let's catch up, shall we?

First and foremost - My little sister has had her baby! A healthy, bouncing baby boy, Cameron Alexander, born on March 26th at 8:21 am at 7 lbs. 13 oz. and 21 inches long. ^_^ He's the most adorable little thing!

Looks just like her when she was a baby!

I can't wait to get more pictures! ^_^ Apparently, tomorrow he's going to get his circumcision.... Oh boy!

Next order of business... I've been playing Job Shuffle. First, Things Remembered offers me the Assistant Manager position (for the second time) and I accept this time. Within a few days of accepting and getting the promotion underway, I'm pulled into the Manager's Office at Walmart and am asked if I'd ever considered becoming a Customer Service Manager.... by 3 different people. I honestly hadn't given it much though. They deal with a lot of crap from customers and fellow employees... especially managers. So... they explain the benefits to me... I explain my predicament.... They persuade further. I ended up changing my preferences about 5 minutes after they asked me. Then, I did the math in my head and with a calculator. Taking the CSM position (and minimizing TR to 8-12 hours a week) would be the same money-wise as what I'm doing now... Only, I wouldn't be killing myself trying to get from on job to the other.... No fighting for hours.... Overall, less stress. More time to myself. More time for things other than work and sleep. And since I've started working, I've never had just one job... So, that would be the best part. Not saying that I would completely quit TR, but it would be nice not to NEED the second job in order to survive... you know?

So, that's where things are at with me... Travis and I are still going strong! Just past our 21 month anniversary in March... Two year is coming up! ^_^ No idea what we're doing yet. No clue. 

Will be busy in the upcoming weekends though. This weekend, Travis and I are going to Sara Bareilles on Sunday! Sooooo EXCITED! Next weekend... no plans. May 5th is Graduation in Madison. Will definitely be there! Weekend of May 12th... nothing on the plate as of right now. Mom wants to take the kids and go to see Callie and Cameron during the weekend of the 18th... Then, it's Memorial Day weekend after that.... Another no-plan weekend for May 2nd. THEN, It's Britney and Aaron's wedding on June 9th! ^_^ So yea..... busy, busy, busy. 

OH! Speaking of Brit and her upcoming wedding! This past weekend was her Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party, which we both successes! I think, anyway. We had smaller groups that i was anticipating, but it was a good time either way! ^_^

*sigh* I suppose it's bed time now. Gotta get up early tomorrow for a shift at TR... Not even sure how long I'll be working for sure. :S It's down to just the Store Manager and myself for employees... :S This worries me a little. I hope she picks out some people from the applications that we've had come in. *sigh.... again*

Stay Tuned!
