Out of Control

 

Time to start taking the train to work…

WOW.

Real time LIFE update…

1. I told ya’ll a few months ago that Jason was going to go back to school… well, it’s all about to begin. He starts June 12th and it all begins with good ‘ole orientation. He’s super excited and so am I! Although this will bring many sleepless nights for him and lonely nights for me, we both know that in the end, it is going to close a chapter in the book of college and open wide the book of opportunity. Praise God for such a great chance! Please pray for Jason in his journey.

2. We’re in our new place and fairly settled. I think we’re having a house warming party soon… maybe mid-June. Everyone’s invited! Come one, come all, near and far!

3. Otterball is doing really well. We’re super stoked about how fast things are growing! We’ve got a few amazing clients that I’m sure several of you know… but… until it’s official… I can’t say a word. Check for updates at http://www.otterball.com as well as our Facebook page… Are you a fan yet?

4. I think I need to go home soon… Jason’s parents just came into town and my mom is coming next month but I’m getting the feeling that that’s not going to do it for me. I’m in need of some huggers from a few of my bestest. Oh and I certainly need some Taste of Tokyo and Fido’s… So, Nashvegas and all ya’ll Nashvillians… keep and ear to the ground… it could happen to you 🙂

Well, that’s all folks!

From sunny California… 

 

 

Friendship…

Has the meaning of this word changed for you over the years like it has changed for me?

What did friendship mean at 10 years old?

How did it change when you turned 16?

What did friendship become when you went to college?

How do your friends affect your life now?

Are they the same friends you had when you were 10? 16? or even last year?

If not, where did they go? I encourage you to go and find them!

Love them, cherish them, hug them and never let them go ever again.

To all my friends – I love you. You can count on my shoulder. I will cherish you forever.

New Job

Last Thursday, I started a new job at a local mall as the Guest Services Manager. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Well… not exactly. I visited another local mall to meet with their GSM and she opened my eyes to the fact that this is not a job… this is a career. Do you know how excited that made me?! I have finally made my first move towards being a career woman and I love it! So basically what I do is this:

#1. Manage Guest Services and the 7 employees that run the front desk. This is the retail management part of the job.

#2. Seek out new business to purchase our Visa Gift Cards. This means cold calling, hitting the streets, going to mixers, etc. Selling! Yipes! Never done that before…

#3. Kidgits… kid-what? Kidgits… our children’s program. This is where the event planning comes in that I can do with my eyes closed. We have a monthly show, of sorts, for all our kids club members.

Those are the top 3 things I will be doing. It sounds simple but it’s quite a work load especially since the people before me (both guys) weren’t very organized. That means I’m pretty much starting from scratch.

So far so good though! I can see myself there for a while. The best thing about the company I work for is if we move to Austin, and we plan on doing so within the next 5 years, I have several options of places to transfer to. What a blessing that is!

 

Metalli-what?

So, my husband is more excited about this than I am, mainly because he knows their music. I do not. He’s an avid fan. I am not. He knows all the guys names. I do not. Get the picture? 

Because I am a supportive wife and because I’m curious about what all the hub-bub is about, we’ll be going to this… 

oh, and by the way, this is right down the street from where we’re moving to 🙂 

Hi! :)

Just stopping by to say hi. I’ve been so busy with my new job and moving that I haven’t made much time to write. I will soon though!Here’s our new place (starting April 12th)… oh, and that’s not our car…

This is hilarious!  

Improve at it’s best!

I mean, are we all being forced to walk and ride a bike now?When we moved here we decided to sell a car knowing that public transportation is so great. I’m really glad we did because the gas is redonkulous!What are your gas prices?
