New job :)

Its been a while since my last post...and those words seem to be the beginning of my posts! The biggest development is that I have a new job-I am now an employee of adidas! I work in the warehouse doing "picking and packing" which is really a way to say I put things from large boxes into little boxes for orders. We don't stay in the same spot every day and there is a variety of products I pack so it isn't slit-your-wrists-monotonous...just boring enough to let my mind wander. I get to wear whatever I want (besides anything with a brand name on it...) which is something new for me because I don't think I have ever had a job that wasn't customer service related. The overtime and weekend pay here is fantastic and to be honest I won't know what to do with myself when I get my paychecks! Largest I have ever had for sure. Its a refreshing change, but 6 AM comes early. I get off at 2 PM and so I have the rest of the day, until about 8 PM when I start getting granny-ishly tired. I can't make it through movies in the evening sometimes...maybe I'll take up knitting and talking to myself soon :)

This is Bryan and myself at his awards night at a club not too far away from our place-

He ended up getting "Best Team Man" which is a great honor for him, especially considering he was in the states for a good portion of the season.



It was obviously a fun evening!
Delicious food as well - and I also ate calamari for the first time and LOVED it.

This is a picture of Bryan and his nephew Aiden at Bryan's brother's birthday get together. It was a great time, and Bryan loves every chance he gets to hang out with Aiden.

I have been watching the show "deadwood" obsessively, and I know I'm a little late to discover it but I am loving the wild west theme. I highly recommend it to anybody who enjoys HBO shows. The next goal is to buy the 7th season of the Sopranos so I can finally wrap that up! I almost don't want to because it's such a good show but alas, all good things do come to an end as well.

I am going to be starting piano lessons from a guy who attends Bryan's mother's church. He's a 19 year old kid who is going to school for teaching music, and I'm looking for something to work on and develop so it seems to be perfect. The price is right as well, and I will have access to the church so I can practice. I am excited to start again but I guess I haven't had piano lessons since I was little so it will be exciting to see where I am at musically in that department. Maybe I can convince my mother to send me my viola...I would much prefer to take lessons for that but it might be worth it just to buy one down here. Who knows!

Applying to schools have been going well for me but I forgot how much work it was! Lots of time and jumping through hoops. It's all working towards something I really want so it is worth it.

I hope all is well with everybody and I LOVE YOU ALL! !

XXXOO!
