I got two jobs!

Why does this always happen to me? There are some people in this country(and in this world) who can't even get a job because of the hard economic times...and I have the option of two jobs. I am literally unable to decide between the two. Since I quit my other job I have been really excited about my new job in a restaurant! I will start out serving at a brand new restaurant and I can see so much potential for myself there. The other perks are the excitement of it, the youngness of the staff, and the fact that I won't be behind a desk for 8 hours at a time. As soon as I found out I had this job...my old job calls back and offers me a supervisory position??!!! Obviously I am torn. The hardest decision is that I have REALLY enjoyed being home and taking care of the house and dog that I am REALLY undecided about wanting to go back to work at all. haha. Woe is me.

Congrats!!!

So one of my best and longest friends got engaged this past weekend!!! Congrats Laura and Galo! I know it seems silly, but it makes me feel a little better to know that I am not the only person I know who is engaged and getting married!!! They are so cute and so happy together! Here is a picture of FI, me, Laura, and Galo, when they came to visit and we went to the aquarium. I miss them!


In other news....I did something today that I have been meaning to do for a VERY long time. I went to the library(which is a mere five minutes from my apartment...I could walk there in 10) and GOT A LIBRARY CARD. So proud of myself**pats self on back**. I even ventured as far as a good book to read...Madame Bovary...which I have been meaning to read since high school.

Right now my dog is unbelievably obsessed with this Aflac duck. Someone at my hotel gave it to me quite sometime ago and I think Carter has been eyeing it with a hungerous eye ever since. Anyways the duck screams "Aflac...Aflac...AFLACCCCC!!! Everytime he bits it between his ravenous jaws. KILL.ME.NOW. I am now going to attempt to begin my book.

Wish me luck!!!!!

It's a country kind of city!

The FI and I went driving last night....to see the place of his childhood. First and foremost we ventured into Macy's to do our wedding registry. Who knew there was so much stuff that you could possibly need and the whole time I was wondering how I was going to fit each confounded mixer and gadget into my tiny little kitchen! We had fun though and found the best fine china...I am in love with this Kate Spade....

Buy it for me...or else FI will have to! :)
After we did some registering he FINALLY took me by his old house which is just outside of Atlanta....seemed like the country....but you could be back to the city in 30min. I got to see his old high school too! It's funny to watch someone else experience memories that I wasn't apart of or have no recollection of. :)
We signed our lease for another year in the same apartment. This is good and bad. We don't want the hassel of moving until after the wedding...but I think we are both ready for a change and maybe something a little bigger. I did lots of cleaning today and am very proud of myself because now that we have been here a whole year, I feel like I finally have the apartment looking somewhat cute. Take a look!

7:42am

Ughhhhh.....Brandon has been working the morning shift at work and it just sucks. Who gets up at 4:30am?? Well, apparently I do now....grrrr. I am not a morning person!!!! It is difficult to embrace the morning when the morning comes before 10:00am. 6:03am and he is off to work....I don't even know what to do this early besides try to go back to sleep, but after the strong cup of coffee it took to get me up in the first place that place of sleep is hard to find again. I've resolved to watching 'Sister Act' and listening to the puppy snore since he has no trouble getting back to it.
