Annie

Ok. I am horrible at updating my blog. I am going to try and get at least on post a week starting today. Brandi called me out on not updating, so I am going to write about my fav subject--ANNIE!

My sister-in-law took some great pictures of my dog Kiwi, that lives with my mom. Once I saw these pics, I asked her to take some of Annie. And she did, I have some cute candid shots of Annie. Above is one of my fav's.

Since I started working I have been feeling guilty for leaving Annie for such long periods of time. I guess this is the same when parents leave their kids in daycare. I come home for lunch and take her for a walk, but I usually feel more guilty when I leave cause she cries. And when I say she cries, I mean she cries like a baby. She has the tear stains to prove it. She has severe abandonment issues.

She has been doing some very funny things lately. For example, she spreads her toys out all over the apartment when I'm gone. I pick them up and she just watches me, so I try to play with her with them. She just stares at me. Then once I have moved on she picks them up and moves them back to where she had them.....without playing with them. She just places them throughout the apartment.

She also hates that I sometimes have to go into work at 7. This means I get up really early cause I do my Yoga every morning. When this happens she gets back into the bed before I can make it up and digs her way up under all the covers so that its nice and dark for her to go back to sleep. Lazy dog. I swear she sleeps 20 -22 hours of the day. I made her wake up the other afternoon at 7 cause she was snoring.

OK enough about my baby Annie. Brandi has asked about my schedule for the Summer. Well, my schedule is work, work, and more work. I work at the Ferg during Bama Bound sessions, so this means talking to scared parents and kids. So far this has been very fun! I don't have any major plans for this summer. With starting a new job, I don't have a lot of chance to take off. But like banks the Credit Union has great hours. We are closed on Monday so that means this is a long weekend for me.

On a side note, my Mom came up Friday night to help me do some stuff around the apartment. We steamed all my floors and did a few other things. I still have some decorating things I want to do to the apartment, but these will have to wait, I am trying to spread things out so I am not spending tons on decorating each month. Thanks to my wonderful Mom for all her help this weekend on my new home.

Hope everyone has a great long weekend!

Marketing Assistant

Today was my first day as a full-time employee at Alabama Credit Union. It was a great day, but a long day as well. It started with Honor's Day Breakfast at RQMS at 7:00, Avanti Breakfast at 8:30, and ended with a training session at 7:30 tonight. So super long day. But it was busy and I LOVE busy days.

I know that not everyday will be this busy, but I look forward to more days learning the ropes of my new position and hopefully taking on more duties to help the Credit Union.

This past weekend my Dad and I went to the beach. We had a great trip, just relaxing! I am glad I got to spend this time with my Dad, we don't always get to see each other as much as we would like.

We came back from the beach Sunday and I spent a little bit of time with my Mom before, I had to come back to Tuscaloosa. I am glad I got to see her on Mother's Day. I have the best Mom in the world, I know everyone thinks they have the best Mom, but my Mom is awesome. She is my best friend and my number one supporter.

Annie got a major hair cut this past week and is now super skinny. My sister-in-law took pictures of her this weekend, so I will post one when I get them so everyone can see how cute my baby is.

Hope everyone had a good Monday and is glad the school is done. I know I am.

Real World Slapped Me in the FACE!

I am now 23, It feels older than 22. But that could be because I now have a full time job and a mortgage. That's right. I just bought a house, well condo. I also start full-time with Alabama Credit Union on May 10th. I will be the Marketing Assistant and report directly to the Marketing Manager. I am very excited about this job, I have known for a while that I wanted to work in a small to medium sized bank's marketing department and now all my ducks are in a row!

I will be living in Tuscaloosa from now on! I am excited by this prospect, unlike most people I love the city of Tuscaloosa, and no not just the bars. I love the people and my co-workers at ACU are amazing.

I am an adult, I attended my last "class" on Thursday night, and have finished all my reports. So I am done. Just have to turn everything in on Monday! This is both and exciting and scary time in my life.

I will post more about finishing school in my next blog, and hopefully I will start posting more often now that I do not have any more group meetings! Annie and I are going to enjoy a slow afternoon, once I get back from my chaperoning the AOII party.
