Happy Easter

Hope everyone had a great Easter! I had a great day! My Momma came and visited me! She cooked a great meal and we spent some time together. Overall it was a great day!

School is going well, its getting close to the end so I thought I would tell you about a book I just finished. Its called "Can You Keep a Secret?" by Sophie Kinsella. Its a great book! It will keep you laughing and saying "that's so something that would happen to me". So if you have some spare time read it. And if you are not making time to read for fun, you should. There are some very talented authors out there, with something for everyone. So make the time, you will thank yourself later.

Well, that it for today! Annie has been in her Easter Dress all day long, and is so ready for it to come off.

It's Friday!

I wish that it being Friday means that I have AWESOME plans for the weekend. But I don't! I worked late this afternoon and plan on working on some school work tomorrow. SAD

So I had a great week. On Tuesday I went to eat dinner with AOII Alumni and then we went to Sip's and Strokes. I have only done this one other time and I totally sucked then, but we had a great time. And if I do say so myself, I didn't do to bad....


On Wednesday I had a very intense interview, but it went pretty well. Hopefully I will hear something soon. On that note, I am still job searching, but I am starting to get beginning offers, so I am super excited but I don't want to get to excited yet.

This coming Monday Alabama Credit Union will host their 55th Annual Meeting, and I am super excited, 1) I have worked hard to see this event happen, 2) I am ready for this hard work to be done, and 3) I get to meet more awesome people who work at the credit union. So if you are a member of the Credit Union you are invited to Hotel Capstone at 5!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! If its pretty tomorrow Annie and I plan to go walking, and relax outside reading a good book!

Last Week

Last week was Spring Break for U of A. However, I had to work on Monday! But I went home as soon as I got off work. However, my spring break did not go as planned. I had intended to go to Destin to visit Amanda with Mave and Allison. But Monday night a close family friend had a heart attack and passed away at 61. J.T. Boykin was a great man, he always helped those in need out.

He left behind a host of close family and friends and his wife Sandy (My Second Mom) and son Matthew (age 23 and BFF since age 4). It was a hard week for the Boykin Family, but they showed amazing strength and my prayers are still with them.

After the passing of J.T. I have become concerned with the health of all those around me. I encourage everyone to take a look at your families health and encourage family to become healthy! Just a few changes and you could add years onto your life! Think about it!

I am now back in Tuscaloosa and I have a busy week ahead, I guess that's what I get for taking a week off work and doing zip school work. Has anyone taken a personality test? I had to take one online last night for an interview I have on Wednesday and it was hard!!!!! I am going to be so embarrassed if I "fail" my personality test!

Have a great week!

P.S. Annie says "Hi" and is glad the rain has moved out.

Weekend with the Girls~!!

This past weekend I got to spend some time with MAVE!! I miss her like crazy, since she now lives back in Memphis. Well, whenever Mave and I go out we get a little out of control.....

So are night started with Mave, Allison, and I going to the AOII party, where I was the Advisor. This was very calm and all the AOII's were well behaved. We left there and went to Inisfree. That is where things got BAD! Shots, Drinks, and Shots later, we were in for a rough night.


Oh well, we had a great time. I will admit that Allison was the guilty party for the reason we were all out of control, but it was a fun night...till the next morning.

Next week is my Spring Break and I have no idea what I am going to do. But anything will be better than worrying about school.

Annie has been great, she is already in the bed asleep tonight! FYI- I totally think Annie is learning yoga with me cause she always gets in the floor and lays next to my mat when I bring it out.

Hope all is going well!

Long Time No Post/Mobile/AOII Founder's Day

So it has been a while since I have posted! Sorry! I have been super busy! This past weekend Rachel, Brittany, and I went and visited Brandi in Mobile for Mardi Gras. I had a great time and was so glad that I got to spend some time with my sisters. I will post some pictures once Brandi gets them to me, but she is super busy with school too. FYI- I had so much fun at the parades and I caught goodies to give to Annie, she loves them.

On Monday I went to AOII's Founder's Day. All advisers had to go because we also had a meeting afterwards. The ladies in the house did a wonderful job setting up a very nice Founder's Day dinner and speaker. I love all the new stuff in the house and they are really working hard with their Advisers, something we did not have the chance to do, to make AOII great.

Last night Annie had a date! Yep that right, Annie is dating. Well,I am dog sitting Max for Rachel while she is out of town due to work. They had a great time playing and even sharing their food. However, Annie is super jealous she will not leave my lap! But Max is not giving in he has not left my side either. They are so cute together.

I am still loving my job, but I am still job searching for after graduation! So that is keeping me pretty busy, and all my projects for this semester are in fully under way. I will be staying in all weekend doing work that is due next week. Wish me luck! Hope everyone has a great day!

First Day of Work

Yesterday was my first day at Alabama Credit Union. It was a great first day, and I am so excited to be working there. I think I am going to really enjoy working there and I am going to learn so much. Dusti my boss is great, she is super sweet and wants me to get lots of hands on experience.

Yesterday my Mom was in town for a meeting so she picked Annie up to take her home with her. It was so sad to come back to my apartment without Annie, and I keep feeling like I was missing something all night long. Annie is spoiled so she sleeps with me and it was so odd to have the bed to myself. HAHA

Well this is just a short post for today, I have a Global Marketing test that I need to get ready for, its due Thursday. Wish me luck and I hope everyone has a great week and be careful with all the messy weather.

So I had a very busy week! I interviewed with Regions on Tuesday, so everyone keep your fingers crossed that I will get into their Management Training Program!

But the most exciting part of my week, was the Brad Paisley concert, that PJ and I went to last night. The concert was awesome and I had a great time.

However, I had to get up very early this morning for Employee Training/Yearly Meeting for Alabama Credit Union employees. We had a guest speaker, who did an awesome job. So I am now home and done for the day!

Annie is doing good, she was going to go see Grandma this week due to me going out of town next weekend. However, due to the meeting this morning and the fact that I feel like crap(this weather sucks) I am going to have to take her to Grandma another day this week. She will get to see Kiwi her sister of another breed, and I think she is excited about it.

Hope everyone else had a good week and I cant wait to start my job on Monday. I will post again on Monday and let you know how my first day went.
