Well howdy there. Today marks the completion of my first week at my new job. I thankfully left my former employer and started working as an Affiliate Manager at a Software Development company. It sounds so fancy and technical. Definitely much more sophisticated than "retail." The week has gone very well, and I have a lot to learn. The only kind of, poop part, is the commute. It's very hit and miss, but I am starting to learn which ways to go and which ways to avoid.
Other than the traffic, I am so excited to get my hands in everything and learn it all. I have been doing some simple administrative things right now and organizing clients, and then next week I will start getting into contracts and learning more! :)
Tomorrow I head off to McChord for my military duties. It'll be my first time back since January. I am excited to go back and from what I am told, I will be moving sections and I will be in Deployment Readiness. Yay!
It's really incredible how things can change so fast. If someone had told me a few years ago that by the time I was 23 I would be dating someone with a kid and I would be settled down I would have laughed. I am a self-proclaimed gypsy, and I like to move around and do different things and see new places. But look at me now. Unbelievable!
The new house is going well. There are some things that I really would like to get, and here they are!
I would LOVE this bedroom set. Right now, we don't have anything that matches, no headboard, and pretty much-- the room lacks character and comfort. Once I have some more money saved up, this is the first thing I want to get. I love the upholstered headboard and the low foot board. It just looks so cozy and inviting. Way better than what we have goin on now...
Right now, in the spare bedroom, there is a bed and dresser only. With my new job, I would like to double the space and utilize some of it as an office. Pottery Barn is my weakness, but I am sure I can find something comparable for a lesser price. Plus, it would just be nice to have somewhere to keep the printer and keep all the mail and bills organized. Si.
So, we decided to keep my couches, but I think we both agree this would be better. There is more seating room, and its totally cozy looking. Right now, my couches are that light tan microfiber with brown leather, and with a 3 year old and a black Lab, the couches are subject to destruction. Luckily, the living room of the new place is huge, and this would fit nicely in the space. This would be perfect for our Wheel watching party!...Maybe I will have to switch the bedroom set with this couch and get the couch first...hmmm
They are definitely large purchases, so nothing will happen right away, but I am glad now that these options are feasible and attainable.
Let's see, what else is going on? Not a whole bunch. Work is keeping me busy, and I am thinking about trying to go to school. I think just taking one class for now, online, and then my last class is the way to do it. It'll make things even more busy, but I know this is what I need to do to finish out my AA. Pathetic, I know, I should be finished with my Bachelor's, but sometimes life just gets in the way.
My best friend, Cameron, is having a baby girl :)
She is due today, but if she doesn't come, then Cam will be induced on Monday! I am so excited to be an auntie again. I just wish I could be down in CA to be with her through this.
The best, and potentially worst, part of working in West Seattle is the food and shops. There are 2 cupcakeries by me and tons of fabulous food. I just have to keep my sweet tooth at bay best I can!
Well, I hope that everyone enjoys their weekend ahead and has a nice time with friends and family. Back to work I go!
