Life as we know it right now

I'm sure I don't have many followers on this blog but I do feel bad that I haven't made the time to write about things. 


Things are a bit different since the last time I wrote so let me catch you up!! 


I no longer work for the Dr's office. I really did not like it. Basically it was not my cup of tea. He is a good Dr and I will go to him whenever I need a check up but I do not EVER want to work in an office like that again.


I am employed by B. F. Saul and working at the Courtyard Marriott in Tysons. I started yesterday. 

It was very refreshing to start a new job and not feel like "the new girl". Everyone was so welcoming and would shake my hand and say "WELCOME ABOARD" or "WELCOME TO THE TEAM!" I did a lot of computer training yesterday but I did not mind at all. It was nice to feel like I am a part of something big and know that I have a fantastic future ahead of me. 

We also celebrated Marcus' birthday. We went to his parents on the 2nd (his actual birthday) and on the 3rd I took him out to dinner. He really had a great day.

how cute is this!! confetti on the table!
We are going out of town next week for Heidi's wedding. I am so excited!! Talking to Heidi she sounds very calm and excited...not much stress has come from her throughout the process. I know she will be a beautiful bride and it will be a fantastic day!! I went to Indy a couple of weeks ago for her shower. It was a great weekend! We also had a small bachelorette party for her as well. 





Well I'm working the late shift today so I have to start getting ready! So excited to go to work!! (I know it's weird right!!!!)

First week of a new job

Well I survived my first week. I have started a job working with an optometrist. It is so different than what I'm used to. (Obviously!!) But everything about it is different. Even with the patients. I cannot call them by their first name. The Dr thinks its not professional. OK - that's fine but its something I need to get used to. Scheduling patients is different too...there are certain "slots" you put people in. And that depends on age, different types of appointments and what the Doctor wants. Being the new girl stinks too!! I do not mind doing the crap jobs but I am used to fairness. Everyone helps out but again, its all new now.

I am thinking about going back to school too. I am struggling with this because I know I want to get into the medical field but do I want to be a Medical Assistant? Or do I want to get into the Billing and Coding? Or do I want to get into more of the X-ray side of things? I don't know. I thought I knew but so many things have come up since I went to a school earlier this week. Do I base my decision on money or do I base it on something I'll be good at? Who knows! Why is it that decisions are so hard?! I need to do my research - put everything on the table and go from there. That's all I can do and hope that it is the right decision.

I enjoy being off Sundays and Mondays now though. Marcus is off on Mondays so we are able to have a day together which is something new for us but I know we will enjoy it.

I want to travel!!



I love finding new places to visit. I wish my job was literally to do just that: TRAVEL!!! Every year Marcus and I have 2 vacations. I really like doing it that way because it breaks out the year so well.

Last year I went to Cape Cod - Marcus had to work - and in September we went to Chicago. I really loved both vacations. I've been to the Cape before but this time was a bit different because we stayed over and rented a house. It was right on the lake and it was GREAT! Very calming and everything was so close.

Chicago was really nice too. We broke up the trip a bit by going to Green Bay first which was AMAZING!! Marcus is a HUGE Packers fan so for him, this was his dream!

There are a lot of places I would love to go just for a week:

Italy - I would love to take in the sites there. And of course the spaghetti! 


France - I've heard mix reviews about France. I think it would be absolutely beautiful though. 




Bermuda - OH doesn't this picture just look amazing! RE-LAX-ATION! Bring it on!!


San Francisco - I was there when I was little but I don't remember much about it at all. And I think it would be great to sing the Full House theme song while crossing the bridge...DON'T MAKE FUN! I know you would do it too!!


VEGAS!! Again, I was there when I was 15 so I was not allowed to do ANYTHING!! I couldn't even stand on a certain part of the carpet!! I really want to go but  I COULD NOT bring much money!! I might have a bit of an issue with gambling!?!

So I guess I should put my resume out and see if people would hire me to go to these places! I'll get right on that.

The Adventures of Cali and Krista

As you grow older you need family but you really need friends.

I feel that even though I have a good handful of BEST friends, I feel like each one of them are good for me for different reasons.

Cali is one of the handful - she is hilarious, smart, easy going, spontaneous and so much more! Right now she lives in North Carolina and going to Law School. It is very hard for a friend to be so far away but for us...it works! (But I cannot wait for her to come home and STAY!!)



Well when she comes home from school I try to see her as much as I can. We go on "adventures" which really can be anything. We have just drove around, or headed to Bloom to do some shopping for her mom, or our absolute favorite past time - IKEA!!!!

We never really buy anything when we go there but we enjoy just going to take pictures or get ideas for our lavish futures. But most of the time, Cali appreciates the children's section and the candles!


'

Well tonight we are going to have another adventure and it will be the last one of the winter until she comes home again. The great thing about Cali is that we never have to say "goodbye" to each other - we always just pick up where we left off.

I came, I conquered, I quit

Today was my last day at City Center Apartments. I have worked there since September 29, 2008.

When I got there the place was "sticks". Everything that was placed in the buildings, I saw go up and it was such an experience.

The patio/office

I have mixed emotions about leaving today. I was really excited to put in my notice. I feel like it was time for me to go. Things were happening with the company, things were happening with the property, and things ARE happening with me. I know it was the right decision. Today I do have to admit I was sad. 3 years is a long time. I grew so much. I got engaged while working there, I got married while working there, my husband and I got a dog, a home...I really have changed. I think thats what makes me sad. I know that things will be better and I will be happier but you can't help but get a bit emotional. I have made such great friends there that I know will last a lifetime.
