I Got What I Wanted...In Double!

The last couple weeks have been absolute madness for me! My week right now consists of getting up in the morning at 5:15 a.m. to get ready for work, leave the house at 6:40 a.m. so that I can get on with my hour and a half trip to the corporate office to start work at 8:30, which goes till 5:30 p.m. in which I pack up my gear and head home for another hour to hour and a half trip back home (which usually has me back home for between 7-7:30 p.m.). All in all, it makes for a REALLY long day! Talk about getting what you asked for right!?

I do like my new job though! The company treats me well, my manager is awesome, and I feel once I really get comfortable in my own skin with doing the work, I will really come to enjoy the job a lot! :) It's a lot of work to start with, but once I get caught up and settled, it's going to be fun!

By the time I hit the weekends though, I'm soo thoroughly exhausted that I just don't feel like doing anything! I know that will change when I'm not driving to corporate for training every day (which will make my days drastically shorter!) but for now, my life has taken a real social hit! (Well, the limited social life I have anyways!

More up-beat news for me is that my wonderful hubby had heard that a few of the day-shift only people have put in for retirement and my husband put in a word with the boss to see if he couldn't fill one of those positions! It's great because that means he will get to come home at night! It sucks because it means a pay drop since he's not living out on the road all week. But honestly, I would rather have the pay drop and actually get to spend more than a day and a half with my husband than to keep on the path we are on now where he's gone 5 days a week straight. So I'm praying that goes through! With me working, we will be just fine anyways.

Last news, I went last night to watch my friends daughters dance in what I thought was going to be just a cute little dance recital...Little did I know that this was going to be an fully loaded show with lights and fire and sparks and some of the most amazing dancing I've ever seen! I was extremely impressed with the production and the level of talent at this show! There were mixes of tap, river dancing, beautiful ballet, hip hop, 50's and interpretive dance. The ages ranges were from 3yrs to 40's. I felt such a thrill of excitement and longing for the days when I was performing on stage dancing and singing and acting. I really miss it! It was a good feeling to have though...kind of like an awakening! Perhaps sometime soon I can re-join the world of dance or performance of some sort, but for now, I need to set my priorities to what needs to be done to get back to an even playing field.

I look forward to later days this year, I have a feeling more exciting things are to come! Keep you posted!!

Live, Laugh, Love.

Little "mini-ventures" to make time pass!

So, I haven't had anything going on which has been the reason for no new updating posts, but I have been contemplating things that I want to do before I leave the states and start my new adventure! (Plus, I want something to talk about!!) So one mini-venture I thought I would get started is maybe (and I KNOW this is cliche'!): Losing a few pounds! (I just heard a million sighs and groans! LOL!) I have gained a little in the last couple months because of my food intake and well, I NEED to fit into that wedding dress! So, I'm praying to lose at least 5 pounds in the next 2 months (if not quicker!) and 10-15 by the time we do our honeymoon! SO, wish me luck and I will keep you updated on the progress! (This officially starts tomorrow by the way!) The 2nd idea I had was to start some sort of video blog to post to this as well just for fun or to show surroundings, etc! I was working on the idea tonight, but couldn't figure out how to work my hp mediasmart programs! LOL!

STILL Waiting!!!

UGHHH!!!! This is torture!! How long must I endure the painful wait?? (Please no comments of it "building character"....I DON'T CARE!!) I'm just very anxious! I thought I would be there by now and I'm finding myself stuck in the land of "what if?"...By this I mean questions that cause me to worry like "What if it got lost in the mail??", "What if they are taking so long because they are going to say no??", "What if it takes many months more to get my approval??"...etc! It's all stressful! I only have so much money to stretch out to a certain point! So, my fear is that I will run out of funding and need to get a temp job to make ends meet and Dave will have to pick up my slack more...*pout!* I don't know if my paperwork is coming via normal snail mail or certified mail, UPS, etc. and my biggest worry is that it gets lost! I have tried to remind myself that I DID receive the letter stating that it would take them 5-1

I'm Officially Married!!

Phew! What a wonderful past week! My heart is glowing and there's a permanent grin on my face today! I can't remember what I've posted in the past (I didn't look) so I will start with last Friday! Logically, I've been itching to make some friends and Friday night the one girl friend that I have right now invited me to go out with her and two others for a night in the town! Though they said it wasn't the best of all nights out there, I had a great time! One, because I was out with people and not alone! Two, because it was interesting to view the people and get a sense of things and so forth. It was just refreshing to get out and feel a part of something! Our wedding ceremony went great! Before the ceremony, we invited everyone over to the apartment for mimosa's (I didn't have any, I was too busy running around trying to get ready!) then we went off the the registrar office to have the ceremony, which I thought for a small short ceremony that it went
