Work, Work, Work this out!
So... life in the fast lane has been pretty nice. I have had some new things happen to me in the past month.
1) We got a kitten - we have had him for a couple of weeks now. Cody named him Tyrus (even though he is a mama's boy)...
2) My new work schedule FINALLY starts the week of August 18th. So I am going to have to kick some tail to get my time in for auxillery pioneering. I am going to be working M,W,F here in the office and a couple hours from home when i am behind/needed. Leah asked that i work 9-10 hours here in the office, so i dont think i will be a "part-timer"... because i will be working 30-35 hours each week.
3) Things changed around here at work. I used to be in the new orders dept. Just a couple days ago, Leah decided to split us up because we just have too much business. Since we now have 4 account reps (Todd, Ben, Vicki, Jennica) they gave each acct rep an acct rep assistant. I was paired with BEN!! We both requested eachother. Leah didnt think it would be a good idea at first because we are such good buddies, but she is going to let us give it a try, so we are going to have to prove ourselves. My new position starts August 18th because Ben is going to be on vacation next week. I am going to be trained next week on inputting, and then when Ben gets back, he is going to train me on some things that I am going to assist him with. So in ONE day, i found out that my schedule was finally approved, AND that i was going to have this amazing job change. So right now, life is good!
Cody is still in his apprentiship program. It is supposed to be a year long and you take a test every three months. he has been in it for a month and has already passed his first test and will be taking his second test soon, so he is flying through that, I am so proud!
Well i better get going.

FYI!
I just wanted to let you all know:
1) I am not dead
2) I am starting to paint my house... and about that... you can go to Lowes/Menards (I prefer Lowe's) and pick out your paint colors, and then take those samples over to Wal-Mart and they will match up those colors in their computer and give you the inexpensive Wal-Mart paint of the color that you loved so very much from Lowes. AND it is less then 12.00 a gallon! So we bought four gallons of paint for less then $50. It was amazing. I am so very excited.
3) I was approved to work part time starting August 1st - its not July 1st like i wanted, but i got approved so I am not complaining. Pioneer list... HERE I COME!!!
4) However, I still hate my job.
Toodles!

Fun Filled Weekend
This weekend was a very nice weekend. Friday Cody and I went to the Holmes' house. They are the ones that traded us a pool table for a canoe. It was Tim and Nicole (they are our age) and Dennis and his wife, i forgot her name, and their son Bradley (he is about 18) we played some games and talked and got to know eachother, and it was very nice.
Saturday we had people over and grilled and watched the red wings win and played pool and just had a nice time. We had the Salinases over and Jeremy and his wife Laura and Tim and Nicole Holmes. After everybody left, we stayed up talking with Tim and Nicole till about 2:00 in the morning, it was very nice just to talk and to make some new friends. Tomorrow is codys day off and him and tim are going to spend some time together, i am very happy for them both.
Today we had Justin and Meredith over after the meeting and people just started showing up. Next thing we know Adella, Taylor, Rachel, Michelle, and Cynthia are over. We had fun playing games and pool and talked. So this weekend was full of just spending time with the friends, it was very nice. I better get to bed now, i have work in the morning.

My dog and my foot
My buddy luke seems to be a little frustrated that i dont post enough. I am sorry, i am not big about writing, but when i do i like it.
So my dog was stolen... yes... stolen. I was over at my parents one saturday and my father in law calls and asked if i took my dog to our new place in Marshall. I said...no... and he said that she was gone. I rushed over there to find her gone. Her big stake that she had in the ground, her dog dishes, her dog house, her dog BONES (pathetic)... and of course her. :( I filed a stolen dog report with the police and have heard nothing since. Korah, if you are out there...mommy misses you and i hope you are at a home with lots of kids to pet on you and a cat to torture.....
Now it is time to talk about my foot. I was playing tackle football on sunday and had a fabulous time! Then i played some volleyball and that was fun too, except it felt like the volleyball was a basketball, it was way too hard and everytime i hit it my arm would turn more red. So then i wanted to play a triathalon of sports and decided to play some basketball. They have a hoop set up in their pole barn and we were playing 3 on 3 and the ball was tipped out of somebody's hand and i went to go get it and turned my ankle and it popped really really loud. I was hoping that i didnt break it, which of course i didnt, but i did sprain it and i have to be on crutches for a couple of days. I HATE CRUTCHES!!! Yeah, my sister Sara was always the accident prone one so when she was on crutches i liked to take them from her and just play around and be like "oh you are so lucky i want crutches" curses... they are the worst ever. My arms hurt from lugging this body around and i am very clumsy on them, its kind of embarrassing. They are a very good work out i must admit.
So right now I am missing my big sister Aimee and i need to give her a call to see what she has been up to. I have been thinking about her alot lately....
We finally got a home phone! Shocking I know... Red wings are going to sweep the avalance, my husband is downstairs watching the game.
That is all i have to say for now i guess
until next time (hopefully it is sooner then usual)
