Catch-up!

First I must apologize for not posting anything new as of late. I could blame it on being busy, which is, somewhat true. But mostly I got lazy and procrastinated. I think that's a disease that runs in my family at times. lol. Yes Dad, I know, you're a "pro" at procrastinating...*sigh*.

So, I guess I should take a few minutes this wonderful rainy Thursday (hey, I was born on a rainy Thursday!) to catch everyone up with all the exciting stuff going in our lives at the moment. We finally got all our furniture, the house isn't quite done yet, but it looks MUCH better, especially as my books finally have homes. I think this is a first, lol. I'm also extremely fond of the fact that we finally can play online on our separate Xbox 360s, together, and not have poor Jake set up on the kitchen table. Talk about driving me nuts, lol. Not that we use the table much.... well not to eat at, it's very good at holding up all our mail :)

Jake had signed earlier this month to move into a different department at work, which would not only increase his pay rate, but he would be working with the sugars and creamers, and not smell like nasty, yucky coffee everyday. Unfortunately, he didn't pass the last part of the test, so we were pretty bummed. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that it just means there is something better around the corner. As for me at work, I'm still slaving away at GameStop, hating my wonderful ghetto surroundings at that store. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy what I do, but I'd prefer a different area. Oh well. The good news is, after taking 20 years to choose, I believe I have decided what I want to be when I "grow up". I'm hoping we can start setting some money aside to pay for the online classes I would need, to become a certified wedding planner!
I'll take donations as well, hahaha! Honestly though, I truly feel this is something I would excel at, after already helping plan my own wedding, and now I am a bridesmaid in two more!

Speaking of those two weddings, Jamaica itself got canceled for Nick and Debbie, who have decided to get married July 11, here in Camden County. The second, well really the first, time wise, is my sister-in-law Traci's. Apparently Zack actually proposed last night, though I have yet to know the details, however we've been doing some major planning for about the past two weeks or so. We all knew it was coming, and am so happy for both couples! Looks like we started a trend with our wedding, lol. Your turn is coming Vicky, hahaha. You're the only one left from our wedding party, but we'll give you time don't worry! :)

That's pretty much it of everything new around here, hope the close of this first month of 2009 finds everyone well! We love you all, and God bless!

Certified Wedding Planner, eh? Cool! I didn't think you could get a certificate for that position, but hey, you learn something new every day!
And when I read about all your mail sitting on your table, it made me giggle. I know who you learned that from ;) It must run in the family!

For the record, it's not NEARLY as bad. And it's actually mostly Jake's fault, lol. I'm trying to get him in the habit of making sure the bills get put in on my desk, so I know they're due! And yes, a wedding planner! I'm really excited about all the people I already know with whom I can network with, and really take off with this. I already have one prospective client, a regular customer from work, and they're more than willing to let me do theirs to help get my portfolio started as well! YAY!
