I'm still here!

So this is where I work now! Yay!!

It is pretty much fantastic. I've only been there a week but so far it is going great. I really like the people that I work with and everyone has been so nice and helpful and they are really excited to have me onboard. And I looooove getting to see all the animals! Except when people have to have their pets put down...which is a lot more common than I thought. In just the 5 days I have been there, there's already been 4 euthanasia's. So sad. Friday was hard - that was my first time actually going in the room to talk to the clients about the different options they have and prices and oy. They were balling and the poor dog was just lying there, clearly in pain...I wanted to ball too! So that part is not fun. But as far as everything else goes, I love it!

I am so glad that everything worked out the way that it did - I really feel like this is where I am meant to be. Yes, it totally sucked having to quit the bank and tell all those sweet, nice people that I was leaving them...but I know it was the right thing to do and I would have always regretted it. Mostly I am just glad it is all over and I don't have to wonder what is going to happen anymore! That was getting old.

We finally heard back about the car last week....they totaled Betty :( So sad. We are still waiting to hear how much money the insurance company will give us but we have started looking around for new cars. We have no idea what we want. Well...that's not true. I really want another Trailblazer. I have always wanted one and only driving it for 5 months was not enough time! But Josh is pretty much terrified to drive one again so I don't know. He said we can get one, but he won't drive it. And I don't really want to do that to him. We have been looking at other SUV-type vehicles, like an Equinox, so we'll see. Can't really do much until we hear back from the insurance company, and based on the way things have been going...that probably won't be for awhile. Not too pleased with them since this all happened on New Years Eve and we are just now hearing anything...but whatever I guess!

Thursday I had to go to the body shop and get everything out of Betty and say my final goodbyes and sign her over to the body shop people...it was so sad.  Bye Betty. Thank you for keeping 2 of my favorite people safe!

 

I took a little souvenir from Betty... :)

Things with the house are going well. We have been doing a lot to make it ours and make it more homey so we are really enjoying it! Last weekend we decided to run all of Josh's networking cords through the attic and walls, so that was a fun but tedious process! I didn't understand the point at first but now that I got to help and see it all, it is pretty cool!! And we've been doing other small projects and hanging pictures and stuff so it definitely feels like our home :) 

This weekend was nice. Even though my Mother is mad at me for it - we decided not to go home to Michigan for the Idema holiday party and stay home and relax a little bit for a change. We did go out and get a few things and looked at some cars and stuff, but for the most part it was a nice, quiet weekend. And much needed! So sorry Mom, but we did what we thought we needed to do. Doesn't mean I don't love you though!

Saturday night we ended up going over to Josh and Katie's for game night! That was so fun. We are so excited for them - they are in the process of buying a house! Sadly it's not going super smooth for them, but hopefully it will all work out in the end. If all goes well they are supposed to close in March. The only downside is that it is farther away from us than they are now! But that's okay - like Josh and I both said - having to drive 30-45 minutes to hang out with friends is way better than not having any friends!

I am so not ready for tomorrow to be Monday! This weekend went by way too fast. I guess I am still getting used to the whole working thing again because getting up at 6:30 every morning is still too much for me and by 8:00 at night I am ready for bed! So that is why I haven't been updating too much. We get home, eat dinner and do whatever stuff needs to be done around the house...and that is about it. Bed time. Wow, we are getting old...haha. 

Speaking of which, it is way past my bedtime, so I think I better get off of here and get to bed! I will try to do better at updating :)

Have a great week! :)
