Life Lately..

Working 40 hrs. a week + Intermediate Accounting + Income Tax Class=

Not much of a life left!

Talk about time management skills..I've surely been exercising them lately!

Work is GREAT, class is GREAT, and life is BUSY!!

But I'm still making room for fun :)

Mon. and Tues. are quite hectic around here. I go to work from 8-4:15, and class from 4:30-7:00.

I LOVE being back in college!! There just aren't many people my own age in the real world! I've got lots of fun new friends, and my professors are great!! UAB is such a world of difference from Mississippi State and as much as I love State, I like UAB's professors much better!!

Would you kill over if I said that I ate lunch inside Regions Bank today?!

Living and working in a big city is so different from anything that MS has to offer! I've been in training in one of Region's (huge) corporate offices..and I've gotten lost every morning!! (I'm in a different location each day!)..but all within the same building, if that makes any sense! When you go to work, you don't leave until you come home. Okay, you really can't leave..by the time you get out of the building, it's really just about time to get back to work. They have restaurants, etc. inside. It's been different, but so fun! It's lots of fun to have a group of friends to go to lunch with each day..I sort of feel as if I'm back in the sorority house again!

Goodnight!

Bid Day and Beyond..

Things have been extra busy around here lately!

I spent last Saturday in Meridian, I had to drop off my sweet little Sophie and worked for my dad. I spent Sunday on the lake, and headed to Starkville early Monday morning. I had lunch with LK and Laura, stopped by to see my sister, and spent the rest of the afternoon at DDD house for Bid Day! I left the Triple D house and proceeded to Columbus, MS. My best friend Leigh Taylor just got a job teaching kindergarten so I stopped by to see her new classroom. I helped her with some of her "school work," we went to dinner, and she showed me around Columbus. I came back to B'ham later that night. I had such a fun weekend getting to catch up with all of my friends, I miss them all soo much and cannot WAIT for football season to begin!! Bid Day was so fun, but it is so weird coming back as an alum! I could not have been more proud to be a Triple D, they swept the row this year and got some amazing new girls!! Gosh, I miss college..

On that note, I somehow forgot to mention that I'm a college student again!! Bet you never thought that you would hear that from me!! Unfortunately, this time at UAB and not at State :( I'm taking Intermediate Accounting, and Income Tax. So far, so good. As odd as it sounds, it feels so good to be back in school and back in Accounting..I guess that's what the working world will do to you! I like UAB so far, but I must admit that my heart will always be at Mississippi State; it's just not nearly the same. Life just got busier by leaps and bounds!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow..

My last "official" day at Dawson is tomorrow, and it is so bittersweet.

I am so blessed to have been able to work in such a Christian environment with such amazing people. I will always cherish the friendships and wonderful memories that I have made there. I took a part-time job with them at the beginning of the summer knowing that it would just be until August, but August came so soon!! I'm so thankful to have had the option of staying if that is what I chose, but I decided that it's time to move on to the next chapter in my life.

Dawson, I'm going to miss you! Thanks for all of the memories!

F-R-I-E-N-D-S!

Catching up with all of my friends tonight makes me realize just how much I miss them!!

I might be a tiny bit partial, but I have got the best friends a girl could ever ask for!!

And I miss them TONS!!

If only we all lived in the same city again..

Love y'all!!

Congratulations to the McBrides!!

Congrats Blair and Josh!!

What an absolutely perfect wedding weekend!!

Doing the lobster dance..

And it's just not much fun!!

Yes, I will admit that I am not a sunscreen advocate.

As good as I know it is, it just feels so icky and takes entirely too long to get off!

A few years ago, I got into a very bad habit of only wearing sunscreen while at the beach, I mean who needs it in AL or MS anyways?! Ha.

My best theory to date is that there is just no way to get sun on a cloudy day.

Theory proven wrong again.

Lets just say I'm in pain and lots of it. Just thankful I only got sunburned on my back and the back of my legs. At least it's not the face this time! But I will admit that I'm aching. Walking just hurts.

Two summers ago my cousin got married and I thought it was a great idea to layout for hours the week before the wedding with no sunscreen. A third degree sunburn on my forehead and one swollen face later, I learned a little lesson. From now on, I always wear sunscreen on my forehead. Guess I should just lather up next time I take a trip to visit the sun.

New York, New York..

Sitting in Birmingham on a Friday night wishing I were here..
