Brrrrrrr........

It has been mighty cold lately and I'm getting rather sick of it! It is way warmer today then it has been in quite some time but it is suppose to snow/rain tonight and tomorrow so forget about this warm weather!!! Not that I don't like winter, I just hate driving in snow and slush and ice! Hopefully it won't be bad tomorrow like driving and such.

Ok, well I am now in my second week as my new job as an event coordinator! I really like it and I think it's better then what I thought. I hope that it keeps getting better and better. I think that once I really figure out what I'm doing I will really like it. I still am learning a lot of stuff now but I have learned a lot in Expocad (this computer program where you create layouts for the events) and I can hold my own in there. I am really glad the girl who I replaced is coming in to help me because it's easier for her to tell me what's where and what everything means then for me to try to figure it out on my own! My first show that I work is on March 2nd so I need to learn a lot by then!

Living with my family isn't going too bad. It's nice to see more of my little cousin because he's growing up so fast! He has a home basketball game tomorrow so I hopefully will be able to leave work and make it. The nice thing about work is that I am salary so I'm not punching a clock. I get to come in when I want and leave when I want and if I have to adjust my schedule for some reason, I can! So that's pretty cool.

I went home this past weekend to get some of the things I left behind in the move. My friend Jenny and I went out on Friday night, just the two of us. It was pretty good but there were some weird people out at our normal bar. Diane our friend was bartending so we always go there on Friday but that bar is getting sketchier and sketchier! Diane even commented "You girls seem out of your element tonight" We were like "hell yeah we are! We don't have our safety circle and there are creepy people in here tonight!" We usually go with a group of people so to only have us two was a little un-nerving to fight off the creeps! It was a great night though we had a good time!

Saturday I saw "27 Dresses" and it is a really good movie! I would recommend it to anyone!!

Take Care everyone, stay warm and have great week!!

New Job for the New Year

Hello All!!

So updates galore! The baby shower was great for my best friend who is pregnant! She's the first of my real close friends to be expecting and I am so excited! She got tons of cute stuff and I can't wait....one more month!

And as the title says, I got a new job! I have to move to Green Bay but that's where I wanted to end up anyways so it's good! I'm moving in with my family for the first few months because I don't have time to get an apartment / roomie in a week. Also, who wants to move in winter?? Not me. I only have to move my clothes and some personal items into the room at my fam's house so that is nice! And my cousin is 16 so it's going to be fun getting to see more of him and all his school stuff! I'm only an hour from home too so I still will get to see my friends from home. I have gotten so close to them that it's going to be hard to leave them. I'll miss the spur of the moment times when we call each other up and do things the same night. However, I will be able to see my GB friends more which will be fun.

I was hesitant to take this job since another was possibly being offered to me too. It didn't come soon enough and I guess that was someone's way of saying that I was suppose to take this job. It's so crazy because I said this was my dream job (well as close as I've ever gotten to my dream job) and my dream company to work for but after I said that I felt like I might be jinxing myself! I have never done this job to this extent and I have never worked for this company so I'm scared to get to excited and then be let down. The anticipation up-to events often builds up my expectations so much that the actual event falls short of how I built it up in my head. So hopefully with this job I won't do that and everything will go well.

Ok all, only 2 more days at this job, a week off to get organized and then I'm starting my other job! Wish me luck!
