Oh honey, Texas is NOT the south....

Hello, Hello from the good ole state of Texas! I've been living here coming up on three months now. Can you believe that?!? Well, the first two months went fast...not so much the last.  There is not a whole lot to report. Work is becoming increasingly busy. I've had a couple weeks of 55+ hour weeks, and I have the pleasure of going into work tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 7, and I've already put in my 55 hours this week. :( Oh well, enough complaining! Life is great! I have a job!

I can't really think of anything to say. I'm just that boring!!! I did spend three hours waiting in line at the DMV on Wednesday to get a drivers license. Three hours! RiDiCuLoUs! Please do not make me explain the inefficiencies of our government. grrr... In much happier news, it was 75 degrees today. How awesome is that? SO AWESOME! 

My calling in my ward is Family Home Evening Co-Chair. It's my eternal calling. I must need to learn that FHE is important. haha. Anyways, I have to speak in sacrament meeting in a couple weeks on how to make family home evening a priority in your life. That is a HARD topic...at least for me. I mean, I have a few things to say about it, but definitely not a full talk's amount on it. Please pray for me. I need all the help I can get.


Well folks, it is Friday night and I am wiped out! If any of you are in the Dallas area any time soon, please remember that you have a place to stay....well at least you'll have a floor to sleep on. Do not fret however, the carpet is super plush with nice straight vacuum lines. You will most surely sleep well. I mean, I am sitting on it RIGHT NOW, and I think it's great! AND, don't worry, they just sprayed for bugs yesterday, so no little critters will be sleeping with you. :)

Overwhelmed....

This is how I feel right now. Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh....Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh.....

Hello blogging world!

I have been out for a while. Work and studying takes up so much time! Here's a little update. I went home for Christmas. It was great to get away from here and to see my family. Even my grandpa came out to visit for Christmas, so that was good. It was a super short break. I haven't worked at my company very long, so I didn't have much PTO built up. I've been trying to learn my job at work for a while now. I feel like it's taking so long for me to feel like I actually work there! I have been busily studying for MLC when I am not at work. I will be taking the test in May.  Oh boy, these tests are stressful!

I'm trying to think of fun things to tell you. I've been meeting a lot of people in my single's ward. I've made some good friends, which is fantastic! I feel so much more welcome here than I EVER did in Greeley. I've been slowly "decorating" my apartment...and by decorating I mean hanging up one picture that I got for Christmas that broke in my suitcase on the way back here. I bent it back into place, took out all the broken glass, and called it good. There is still some college student left in me!

Peace out folks.

SofaCouchSofaCouch

Last Friday night I bought a couch! I bought the couch from Rooms-To-Go (They were having a sofa sale!!!). The salesman told me that sometime during the next week, I would receive a call from them in which they would give me a time window of when they were going to deliver the couch on Saturday. Perfect.
On Thursday and Friday I received a call from an automated machine telling me that they would deliver the couch between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. Kind of a big window right in the middle of the day, but whatever, it's all good.
Saturday finally came. I was so excited! I get up, go to the gym, and then head back to my apartment. I was taking my time because I knew I would be waiting for them to come. I took a shower. I was just getting out of the shower when I heard a knock at the door. Ahhhh!!! It couldn't possibly be them!?! It was only 9:30. I ran to peek out the window (yes, I was in a towel) and it was them. Uh oh. As quickly as I possibly could, I threw on some clothes and ran to the door. Yes, my hair was sopping wet. Yes, makeup was running down my face. Yes, I looked amazing.
I answered the door, and the man said, "Wow, perfect timing." Oh man, I was so embarrassed! Normally people say, "Hello, how are you mam," when you answer the door. I simply got a WOW.  He asked me where the couch was going to go and went back downstairs to get the couch with his coworker. I ran into the bathroom and washed my face as fast as I could. I also combed my hair. They brought the couch up and here are the pictures! Good thing I'll never see those young lads again!

Kinda funny....Loving Dallas!

It's Here.

Well, I've been using the excuse that my study materials have not arrived yet so I could not possibly study for MLC (the next actuarial exam). Today was the day. I had a huge box sitting on my desk when I came back from lunch. Here's the pile.

I'm crying a little bit on the inside. That stack is over a foot tall. See you in six months.

Christmas Time!

It's been a while....ok, a long while. I've been a little sick....ok, a lot sick; however, I'm on the mend. Hooray! Christmas is just around the corner. I am really excited to go home to Colorado and see all my family minus Jonathan and Wendy. Even my grandpa will be there this year. This is great!

On Friday I bought a couch. I will have a place to sit! Now all of you can come over! This is great. Please stay tuned for pictures (it arrives on Saturday). On Saturday I went to brunch with a couple of girls from work and then we did facials and nails. This is the first time I've ever done this type of thing...ever...in my life...What kind of girl am I?!?! Seriously, it was fun though and took up most of the day.

Other than that, there is not much going on. No more fevers. Just thought I'd give a little update. I'm out.
