East Coast

Neil and I are East Coast bound tomorrow. 

We fly into Connecticut, will be visiting Boston then attending our "second east coast wedding reception." Minnie doesn't want her mom to go, she keeps getting in my suitecase. It breaks my heart leaving her behind :(

punching the clock from dusk til dawn

Nothing is more satisfying than having a career that you truly enjoy. I sincerely enjoy mine.

After graduating college and the real estate market slowing down, I knew I had to find something. I sort of "stumbled" upon a position, interviewed and was hired. I immediately feel in love with the company, my job and my co-workers.

Since I started last May, I have been promoted (as of March 1st). I was ecstatic because my hard work paid off. From this job I realized how important having a career is to me. I do not just go to work because I have to, I go to work because I want to. I am a career woman and it is the main focus in my life right now (well, second to my family of course). It feels so good to say I am a career woman.

My recent promotion is just the beginning and I can not wait to keep on advancing.

Success is a priority of mine and I will settle with nothing less than the best.

Housewarming

I have been best friends with these girls since elementary/middle/high school and they have been by my side every step of the way. What would a girl do without her best friends?

God truly blessed Neil & I with the greatest group of friends. We had our housewarming party this past Saturday and it was a hit. It was a nice bbq with plenty to eat, boxing on showtime and drop dead gorgeous AZ spring weather. All the girls brought their desserts to share and, of course, the guys brought plenty of beer. Veryyyyy late night for Neil & I made for a very unproductive, lazy Sunday :o)

newest purchase

The commercials sucked me in.

I went to Bed Bath & Beyond to make one purchase; this brownie pan. Whoever created the commercials for this pan, kuddos, because I have HAD to have one ever since they came out. With our house warming party next weekend, I will be going on a baking frenzy so this was a necessary purchase. The fact that I wanted yummy brownies had nothing to do with it ;)

baby?

Now that I am a married, people are constantly asking "so when are you going to have a baby?" I never realized that getting married meant I had to have a baby shortly after. A baby? I have got one already; Minnie. She is already a handful. In all seriousness, no babies for Neil and I in the short or near future. We have too many career goals to accomplish before we start expanding the family. So maybe after a couple years, people should start asking. For now I will focus on my husband, puppy, friends, house and career; they already consume my life.

For now Neil and I have decided to enjoy the married life for a while. Tons of vacations are a necessity. At the end of the month is Boston & Connecticut, June is San Diego and July is Michigan.
