We're coming home this weekend!

Just so everyone knows.. we are coming home this weekend!! We decided since its a long weekend its the best time for us to come home! I really need a break since I've started my training at work. Yes its only been a week--its going good, I'm just pretty warn out! Its the type of job that I only sit for lunch so my feet are having to adjust! Also since I'm training I'm working more hours than usual. Atleast that means overtime.. Can't wait to see everyone this weekend!

Real World

So I've decided that the 'real world' is so over rated! Don't get me wrong, I love being married and having a full time job... But its so much easier sleeping in, going to class, and enjoying the rest of the day in front of the TV or reading a good book. Working 40 hours means money.. but also tired feet! HaHa Oh well I guess everyone has to grow up! When do I get to retire?

To be fair..

So I got a lot of feedback on the picture of Lee's first day of school. I guess to be fair I gotta post my picture too. The first day was good! I did a lot of reading, signing, testing, watching, and listening! Monday is when I get to 'start' hands on so I'm looking forward to that! All next week I also have to learn how to open so that means I have to be there at 7:30! So much for sleeping late!

The JOB is finally here...

This morning I went to an interview for a blood plasma center looking for a receptionist. I did not know much going into the interview other than what was on the website about the company. I interviewed, learned about the position, and got to watch how the process works. The job consist of signing in the customer, making sure their forms are accurate, taking a blood sample and testing it for proper levels, and taking the customer to the "blood" room. 30 mins after coming home I got a phone call offering me the job as well as a promotion after training to be the "New Blood Donor" receptionist. This is a step up on the receptionist scale as well as M-F 9-6. This was very exciting because this is the job I was hoping to move into once I could show them what I was capable of. As the "new blood donor" receptionist I am in charge of working with first time customers. This includes paperwork, assuring their nerves, sending thank you cards, keeping contact for donating again, and yes... a pee test... ha ha I never saw myself as much of a medical assistance! Although I was supposed to interview for another company tomorrow I have decided to go ahead and accept this job and I start Friday! I guess I gotta go buy some scrubs now! Hopefully more good news to come! Miss everyone! Love you!

1 Month!

I can't believe its been one month since Lee and I got married. Everything went by so fast that day and the weeks following it almost seems like its been longer. I can't believe we've been living in Carbondale for almost 3 weeks-it has seemed like a lot longer! We wanna thank everyone again for making our wedding so special! If you took picture that day we would love to see them! My email is milleae@auburn.edu and Lee's is brock@siu.edu. Thanks!

Update

It's been awhile since we've posted so I just wanted to update everyone on what we've been up to. Lets see... Lee started his first full day of school today, so far so good. He seemed to enjoy it and I even got to help him out a little by typing some stuff for him. Yes- I was that bored that I begged him to let me type some briefs for him. As far as the job hunt goes.. I have an interview tomorrow at American Eagle. Not the type of job I had set in my head going into this process but after 3 weeks of hearing nothing, I decided to give it a try! A job is a job and that works for me!! Lee and I are looking forward to the next few weeks! Lee's parents are coming up this weekend and Chris and Debbie Newman are stoping by on Monday afternoon, so it will be good to see some of our loved ones again! Hope everyone is doing great and as of right now we are coming home the weekend after labor day- Sept. 6th! Love you all!

Our Lawyer!

Lee started his first day of Law School today. They have orientation the rest of the week and classes start Monday. He was nervous this morning, but excited that he is finally starting something he has dreamed about since he was young. Not much has changed in my job search. I applied for some more jobs today so hopefully something will work out soon. I do have a part time babysitting job that I'm starting this afternoon!

Big Catch!

Last night Lee finally got a big one. Although it wasnt the kind of fish he was going for, we have seen big catfish in the pond but never caught one. This guy made such a splash our neighbor came out to see what it was...

House Phone

Our new house number is 618-319-1163

Add this to your phone books!!

Our visitor!

So some people have problems with mice...roaches...or even ants. We have a LIZARD in our kitchen. This morning while looking out the back door I stepped on something, yes a lizard. It ran under the fridge where it is now. Lee and I have tried everything we know to get it out without killing it. Its kinda funny so I took some pictures. ENJOY and hopefully it won't be inside much longer!

Moved In!!

We have finally got most everything moved in. Yesterday we got internet and cable so we've really enjoyed being "back in the world" Some people have asked for pictures of our new place so I've put some here to share! You'll see how all your wedding gifts have made our home complete! Tonight we are gonna get out and go to a local baseball game then visit a church tommorow morning. I guess we are falling into the 'old' married couple already :)
