It’s been a while…

So I officially stink as a blogger! My last post was in what.. August? That’s ridiculous! I’m just going to do a quick bullet style post today to update, but will resume regular posting tomorrow =)

~ I’m still dating the boy, Becks. Things have been kind of weird lately… almost like he’s trying to pull back a little bit. We’ve only been dating 2 months though, so I’m trying not to worry about it. We’ll actually be seeing each other tonight and tomorrow night, so hopefully I’m just being a girl thinking he’s pulling back =)

~ I’ve decided not to leave my current job. I had been looking for about a month and even went on a couple of interviews but ultimately decided that I couldn’t ask for a better opportunity right now. Plus I played hard ball with the owners and convinced them to do 100% tuition reimbursement!

~ I am 100% loving fall! Granted, I live in Texas, so fall hasn’t really hit yet but football season definitely has! Plus cooler weather means cute sweaters and boots and I can’t wait to break them out!

~ Oh! I had a random mini-celeb sighting a couple of weeks ago. I was out for Becks birthday and I notice a guy that looks familiar standing a couple of people down from me at the bar. I take a closer look and it’s Brian from The Bachelorette! Being the goofy girl that I am, I just had to go up to him and get a picture.

As cute as he his.. he’s a bit of a jerk. I was rather disappointed!

So that’s all the updates for today. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have a real post! =)

 

One of these days..

I’ll stop being such a dang blog slacker! Live has been crazy busy so it’s hard trying to find time to post. Since I’ve been so busy, I have tons to write about though!!

So I don’t have to worry about having this insanely long post, I’ll keep it short and sweet…

~ Apparently the dating gods are shining on me right now! I’ve met a couple of new guys in the past few weeks that are actually worth dating. There’s one in particular, I’ll call him Becks (he’s a soccer player), that I’ve already seen more than once! And he’s making me dinner this week so that will be three dates (and a group hang out) in a week and half. Not too shabby! I’ve also got a couple of other casual dates lined up in the next couple of weeks.

~ It’s August which means it’s almost… FOOTBALL TIME!! I can not wait for the new Cowboys season! And speaking of football.. Brett Favre is a Jets now?!?! Crazy!

~ Work is kicking my butt lately! I’m so over working my tail off for hardly any return. Thankfully I have some new options that I’m exploring right now! Cross your fingers for me =)

~ I’m planning another mini-vacay soon. I’ve already taken off Friday and Monday.. four day weekend here I come!

~ On a completely unrelated note, I am *completely* obsessed with the new Heidi Newfield Song “Johnny and June”. I listen to it no less than 5 times a day. It’s quite bad! (And by bad.. I mean awesome!)

Hopefully I’ll have some new updates regarding Becks and all other potential boys soon!  =)

 

Quarter Life Crisis

Even though I just turned 25 in February, I have felt pretty luck that I hadn’t had my own version of a quarter life crisis. Well that luck ended this week!

I’ve been feeling pretty unsatisfied with my job lately. Unsatisfied and horribly burnt out. When I first started with this company two years ago, it was great. Every day was something new, I was never at my desk for more than an hour at a time, and my day flew by. That’s, unfortunately, not the case anymore.

I used to get to work at least 30 minutes early. Now I’m having to force myself to get here on time. I used to stay busy all day long and love my job. Now I’m doing just what I have to, and the day is dragging. I know that property management isn’t what I want to do forever, I’m just not sure what I DO want to do forever!!

I worked in preschool education while in college. I definitely know that I don’t want to be in a classroom all day long, but I can’t help but feel that God is pushing me somewhere in that direction again. I was also looking into getting my wedding coordination license, but do I really want to have to work every single Friday and Saturday? Not particularly.

I’ve always felt that I would love to work with some sort of child-geared non-profit organization. I just have no idea how to get started in that line of work.

As you can see, I’m all over the page right now! Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Just one of those days…

Have you ever had one of those days where it seems like everything is coming at you at once? Yesterday was that day for me.

 – Work was INSANE yesterday. We have a plethora of new properties coming online, so that means tons of extra work. Not online that, but it’s starting to become the busy time of the year for the multi-family side of my job and I had people in my office non-stop.

– My little brother and his fiance are coming home tomorrow. He’s deploying to Afghanistan on May 1st, so I’m throwing them an engagement party this weekend before he leaves. I’d been planning on having it at a certain park for over a month now. Yesterday at about 5:00pm, I got a call from someone I know at the city and she told me that they had decided to close the park this weekend in preparation for a festival next weekend. I’m not going to lie.. I went into minor panic mode. Thankfully I have some contacts that were able to help me secure a second park not far from the original location to host it. Now I just have to get new directions and maps to the 50+ guests =)

– My little brother has also decided that he wants to purchase a new car for his fiance when they are in town this weekend. Since he lives in California, I’ve been doing a lot of the leg work for him here. Just trying to get all the specs on certain vehicles to him, and then credit apps back and forth between him and the dealerships took up my entire lunch. Poop sandwich on that!

– Then to top all of that off… one of my best friends is having some marital problems. I’ll try and break it down in the simplest terms. Her husband just got home from Iraq, while he was delpoyed she developed quite a friendship with another man. Her husband found out.. and is, obviously, not very happy about it. He’s been calling me non-stop trying to figure out the best way to save their marriage. I’ll have him on the phone, and then have her beeping in.. and vice versa. It’s enough to make this single girl never want to get married!! (Well.. almost!) =)

Thankfully, Tuesday ended on a pretty good note. I made some great deer meat tacos last night and my roommates were full of praises =)
