Sigh....

It's been a while! What an odd few weeks it has been!! Okay... News...

I've started my internship with the Legal department at 1-800 Contacts and I love it! The people are great, crazy at times, but great! In order to better manage my sanity (aka eliminate a LOT of drama in my life) I decided to leave Marketing and go back to the Call Center for 30 hours a week and I'll continue my 10-15 hr a week internship with Legal. Sigh... I loved the Marketing department, especially the people, but the drama and stress was truly taking a toll. (I'm pretty sure work shouldn't make you cry on a regular basis... am I right?)

Second... Jared and I have been doing some spending... We've been wanting a new bed for quite some time, mostly because we have a 3rd party in bed with us... our 90lb doberman! Jared also takes up a lot of room, but with the three of us in a queen size bed, it was a little crowded!! So, we got a new King Size TempurPedic bed... We LOVE it! So comfy! I highly recommend them! We also got a new grill and a new book case! These two items we should have purchased a long time ago, but oh well, they're done now!

Third... And more depressing... About a week or two ago, I found out that our favorite babysitter growing up passed away. Our families have been close ever since I was really little, her Mom would babysit us when we were in half days for Kindergarten and Lindsay, their youngest, and I were good friends growing up. It seems that Nicole's death was attributed to a complicaiton of a pain patch that she was wearing, the FDA is investigating these patches as there have been many odd deaths related to them... So, please, if you're wearing a patch for chronic pain... PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR! It broke my heart to see her family and how upset they all were! Nicole was such an amazing person, she really and truly had an infectious, lively personality!!! I will always remember her amazing stories and fun activities. And watching the three amigos will never be the same! I love you Nicole & will always remember you!

Well, that's about all the news for now, I will post pictures soon of other stuff... TTFN!

First off, congrats on graduating!! That's wonderful! I'm jealous of the King sized bed- Joel and I really want one but... you trying to find the $ when we're forking out $600/month on daycare is kind of hard! :) Sorry about your babysitter- how old was she? That is so so sad. I miss you!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
