Last night was fun. Trav and I made pork and red potatoes with green beans and cottage cheese for dinner, and I had strawberries with cool whip for dessert. Yum! Then we watered the garden, and at about 7, I had a glass of champagne, and Trav had some wine. We were meeting some friends at Red Robin at 8, and I knew they would be having some drinks but Trav and I spent WAY to much at the Melting Pot over the weekend so I didn't want to spend a bunch more on drinks!! So, we proceeded to finish off a bottle of champagne, and half a bottle of wine before heading over!! We were feeling pretty good. Red Robin was fun. Everyone got drinks, I got a absolut lemonade, and Trav got a giant Heffy. Everyone else ordered food, but since we had already eaten we stuck to our drinks! At about 9:30 we headed home. Air and K came over to our house, and we polished off another bottle of wine! We played apples to apples and had a good time! We looked at the clock at 11 and couldn't believe what time it was!!! We usually head to bed at 10 or 10:30!! So we said goodnight to Air and K and headed to bed! I couldn't believe it was Tuesday when I woke up this morning! I thought it was Saturday and I couldn't figure out why my alarm was going off so early. It was a hard reality when I realized it was TUESDAY and I had to get up and go to work!! So that was rough. I'm feeling much better than I thought I would though!!
I am excited about this weekend. Trav and I are getting away on a much needed little vaca! We are going to our friends beach house. There will be a lot of people there, and a lot of people that we don't know, but it will be fun. I hope the sun is shining!! I'm like to go crabbing, lay on the beach, have some fires, have some drinks, and some nice relaxing walks along the beach. We are heading to Waldport right after work on Friday, and are staying Friday and Sat night, coming back Sunday afternoon. I am really looking forward to the break!
Not a heck of a lot going on besides that. It's nice to have a job where I can go back to planning trips and enjoying my life!! Oh, my friend Lindsey DID get that state job!! YAY! Her last day with Allied Wasted is July 6th! They are dropping like flies!
Alright, back to work!

The weekend
Good Morning.
Well, the weekend is over and I am once again back to work. The weekends always seem to go by so quickly. This weekend was fun. Trav and I went to Robbie's going away party and Wilhelms. I started to feel a little sick after a couple hours, so we headed home. We watched a couple movies, and at about 1 we headed to bed....well I fell asleep halfway through the 2nd movie. We slept in on Saturday, which was nice. I kinds wanted to get up before 11, but I was so tired...I don't know why.
Saturday we made a list of all the things we need from Home Depot, and we went to Corvallis to borrow Travs dad's truck. Then we took the truck to Travs work to pick up a really heavy metal desk for Trav to use as an art desk at home. We unloaded it and took the truck back to Corvallis. It was 3 at this point, and we still had to get my friend Lindsey a bday present for her party that night. I got her a card and a starbucks gift card. Then we went home and grabbed all our clothes to get ready for dinner at the Melting Pot in Portland...a very nice resturant we'd never been to, but had heard a lot about.
We got to the Holcombs at about 4:30, and Lindsey and I got dressed up. I love getting dressed up!! We headed to the Baurers to pick up Nate and Amy at 5:30, and had a couple glasses of wine at thier house in Keizer. At 7 we headed for Portland to make our 8 reservations. We had a huge 4 course meal...appetizer with cheese fondue to dip it in, salad, then entree of filet migoen, duck, shrimp, mahi mahi tuna, and tenderlion., along with some potatoes and veggies. YUM! It was so good! Then they brought out dessert, which was a wonderful platter of cheesecake, brownies, marshmellows, strawberries, and pinnapple to dip into the chocolate fondue. It was so so good. It cost a pretty penny, and we had 6 in our party so there was an automatic 18% gratunity added. Ouch. It was worth it though. The whole thing took 3 hours, but everything came quickly and we never really felt like we had to wait.
Then we headed home. We got home at 1, and went to bed.
Sunday we slept in until 11 again, and then we cleaned, did laundry, and got the office all set up. We only have 1 room left and then we want to organize the garage really well and work on the yard. I wanted to work on the yard a little this weekend, but we never made it to that.
This weekend we are going to Waldport to stay in a beachhouse with our friend Ladd. We are packing up Thursday and heading over Friday right after work. I am really looking forward to getting away for a while.
YAY!
Alright, I'd better get back to work.

The first week
I survived the first week of my new job!! It's 4pm on Friday and I am ready to go home! Tonight is my friend Robbie's going away party for leaving CDC. I worked with her there for about 9 months. She is calling it quits to pursue being a real estate agent. I think she will be great at it. Her kids just graduated from hs, and she doesn't really need to work, she just wants something to keep her busy so this will be perfect for her! She can work when she wants!
Anyway, the party should be fun! We are going to Wilhelms and then Humpty's Dump. :)
My friend Lindsey had a 2nd interview with the state yesterday, and a phone interview with OSU today. She is raking them in!! I hope she finds something quickly and can get out of Allied! They are so wishy washy, you never know whats coming next...and they certainly don't communicate it to you right away!! They tell you the day it changes and never ask for your opinion! I think she is going to get an offer from the state, which would be a great job!! We both plan on starting a family in the next couple years!
This week I've had a little extra time to think....and I realized how blessed I am. I have a new house, it's not a mansion but it's big enough to have a family in....big enough that we really would never HAVE to leave it, although we probably will someday. :) We have been able to make upgrades to it!
I have a wonderful husband....we are both headed in the same direction which is very helpful! He is willing to help out with cooking and cleaning, and he always does without complaining. He takes great care of me, and I KNOW that he loves me very much which is a wonderful feeling to have.
Now, I work 7 minutes from my house, I get to have lunch with Travis, we are on exactly the same schedule so we get to get up and get ready in the morning together, have lunch together, have dinner together, etc, and go to bed together which is very important to me!! It has been wonderful! Plus, I have a great job. I have some spare time, but it's also busy so I'm not bored! They don't care what I do when it's slow, as long as my work is done, so I don't have to "fake" being busy. Plus, I got an office manager title, and they are great people to work for. I can be myself!!
I'm so glad that things are going well. Hopefully they will continue down this path! There is still lots of work to do all the time, but I'm ready for it!!
Have a great weekend!!

A new beginning
Well, I have started my new chapter! I started my new job on Monday. It has been such a relief. I don't think it's completely soaked in yet! I miss the heck out of Lindsey Lou.....we had so much fun driving together everyday! But we will still hang out cuz we're bf's! :) We have so much in common... I love her to peices!
Anyway, I have been learning this new job...as an office manager! It's been fun. There is always so much information at the beginning of a new job, I feel like I will never remember it all....but I know in a month I'll have it down pat.
Trav and I are still plugging along at the house. There is still work to be done. We need to kill the clover in our lawn and fertilize it! And we need to put light fixtures and door knobs on, and switch covers! And we'd love to organize the garage! But, it's so nice out we'd also like to spend our weekends camping or rafting! Or at the beach! We are planning lots of camping trips. I'm pretty sure 4 are already in the works!
Lindseys 24th bday is the 25th, so we are going to a nice dinner at the Melting Pot this weekend to celebrate. I'm pretty excited! I always love to get dressed up for nice dinners!
Well, It's time to get some work done!
Until next time...

A new chapter
Well, the day has finally come! I have decided on a new job. On Monday, I was offered to jobs, and it was hard to choose between them. I decided to go with and office manager position, in Albany. I can't even imagine how exciting it will be to work so close to home....have lunches with my husband, and hopefully have a much more fun and relaxing job! I am looking forward to the new chapter!
Today is my 25th b-day....it was a stressful work day....day 3 of our month end close, and I had to decide on which job I was gong to accept, accept it, let the other employer know that I wasn't avaliable, and let my current employer know that I was leaving. WOW, I was glad when all that was over. Then it was the hour drive home, with my friend and co-worker Lindsey....I will miss working with Lindsey dearly, but we will stay friends!! I got home to a clean house, a dozen beautiful pink roses and a sweet card and gift (apples to apples...I LOVE that game) from my wonderful husband. I don't know what I would do without him. He has definatly been a rock for me the past few challenging months! I love him so very much!!
Then it was off to b-day dinner at my parents. We had a lot of fun! Drank some cran and vodkas....made with my vodka bday present from my friend Kaleb, and played my new games apples to apples. It was a lot of fun! I have 2 moer bday dinner celebrations this week and I had one on Saturday with our friends Erika and Kaleb! It's nice to feel loved!!
Well, I'm off for today....I thought I should share the new, good, and scary news!! It is a new chapter to our lives...I am excited to see what happens next!
