New Job!!

I know, I know!!! It's been forever since my last post! I just haven't been doing anything interesting enough to blog about! This week, though, I started a new job, and I think it's blog-worthy!

I accepted a job at the Hilton right up the road from me in Durham. Right now, I'm the cashier in the hotel's restaurant, and I'm hoping this is a good start to something more to come. I worked for two summers at a resort in Colorado, so I was a little familiar with the hospitality industry, but I'm hoping this job can help me diversify my resume a little more. I have never actually had a job handling money, so I wanted to do something so I could get some experience with that. Also, I'm hoping this will be a good starting point for greater things to come! We'll see! I mean, it's only my first week!

Anyways, I just wanted to let you know about my new job! I'm still loving North Carolina and I'm still happy about the move! Once I get settled in with my job and get started making money, my travels around NC can start!

In other news...CONGRATULATIONS to my cousin, Alichia, on the birth of her new baby girl, Emma! She joins sister, Abby, which you may remember from my previous blogs. I am so excited for the Moons and can't wait to meet little Miss Emma!

A Tribute to My Sister!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER!!!!

Today is my older sister's 30th birthday, so in honor of her, I've collected all of the photos I have around here and posted them for you to see!! Stephanie was such a cute little girl and is now a beautiful woman! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful sister!!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday, Stephie! I miss you and I love you!!

Settling In

I made it safely to NC and I've been settling in quite nicely. I love it here so far! Everything is wonderful!!

I've spent the last few days just getting my stuff arranged and organized. I've done lots of shopping already but that should slow down a little bit. I've applied for a few jobs, but starting Monday, I'll really start the process. I hope it won't be such a timely process, but we'll see.

This weekend should be quite exciting. I'm meeting up with my former Wayland roommate, Liz, for lunch at Panera...great company and good food!! I can't wait. Then later tonight I'm heading out to see Avatar with my roomie and his friend. I think it'll be an interesting movie...perhaps! And of course, the Super Bowl is on Sunday! Go Saints!

That's all for now! I'll keep you updated as news happens! :)

Miss Abby!

Before leaving for North Carolina, I took a little trip home to Abilene to see some family. Of course, I was particularly excited to see Abby and how much she has grown. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. Enjoy!

Ridin' along in her automobile!

She's so excited! I love this picture!We wore her out at Kohl's!

Eating some of her Aunt Stephie's yummy pork tenderloin...she was loving it!Helping her mama get ready!

That's all for now! Until next time...

Moving...Again!

My car's packed up and I'm all ready to go!! In the morning, I'll be heading to Morrisville, North Carolina, to start a new chapter! I'm super excited!

No...I don't have a job. I'm going to apply for some when I get there! It's a little adventurous for me but I think it'll be good!

So, go to Google Maps and check out Morrisville. It's between Raleigh and Durham so I think it'll have all the things I need!

Talk to you from NC!
