Catch Up Time
Wow, it's been a loooong time since I've blogged. I've missed you blog world!! So, I guess I have a lot to catch you up on.
I will start by saying.... I GOT A NEW JOB!!!! Woo-hoo!! And I LOVE it. It's at ETSU in the Office of eLearning. I started on October 11th (which confirms how long it really has been since I blogged.) I help build and fix ETSU websites. It's something that I have never done before, but it's fun. Really, it's a great place to work. The people I work with are super nice and they all rock. They have made me feel so welcome since day one. And I can honestly say that I do NOT miss my old job. Not one bit.
Another biggie I should mention is that I celebrated my big 26th birthday!! Yuck to getting older! I mean, don't get me wrong... I'm so thankful that I am blessed with another year and I pray for many, many, many more. I am proud to say that I did not have a melt down like I did when I turned 22. I took it like a grown up and celebrated with happiness.
I got to do one of my favorite things of fall.... We went to Fender's Corn Maze with Travis and his girlfriend Amanda. It was a blast as always! It was probably the easiest corn maze I've been to yet, but still fun. And I must say that I love Amanda... She's perfect for Trav.
A couple of weekends ago, me and my hubs went on an amazing hike at Roan Mountain. It was such a beautiful day and you could see sooo far. It was perfect. It was a nice day to just spend with Brad while taking in the beauty of God's creation.
Something else that I must mention is Halloween.... It came and then it went. Of course, Brad and I hosted the Halloween party that I've been planning for months. It was fuuun and great to get caught up with my friends. I spent way too much time decorating the house and then I forgot to take pictures of it. And this makes me so sad. All that work and not one picture. Of course! But I can tell you about it. First, we put up a graveyard next to our sidewalk... with a nice grim reaper that pops up at you as you walk by and says scary things like "welcome to my graveyard," and we topped it off with a fog machine... We very successfully scared everyone that walked by it. Allie even screamed (Hehe!) Second, we hung a flying ghost between two trees in our yard that flew from tree to tree moaning. Third, we hung the obvious spider webs everywhere in the house. Fourth, in the bathroom we hung a white shower curtain and put bloody hand prints all over it and left a bloody knife laying on the shelve, and we took fake blood and wrote REDRUM (murder) on the mirror. I must mention that the mirror has been cleaned several times since the party, but when the mirror fogs from the shower you can still see that it says murder, SCARY! Fifth, we put things like fingers, eyeballs, teeth, etc. in jars filled with water and food coloring. It looked creepy. Sixth, we covered the living room furniture with white sheets to make it look like an old abandoned house. And finally, we put a "potion lab" on a table in the living room with a witch's cauldron filled with dry ice. Can you believe I didn't take pictures? I'm a doof.
Brad and I finally found a church today that we loved! We've searched for a church in JC for a long time now that we really feel lead to be at and today we visited a church that we amazing. It had great worship, a great message, and great people. We both just felt it was the church for us when we walked it. We were invited to go to the young married couples bible study after the church service and it was amazing too. I'm very excited to go next week and hopefully make some new church friends. It was a great day! Not to mention that I bought TWO dresses from Forever 21 today that cost me a total of $17.31. Oh how I love great deals. :-)
Well, I think I've covered all the biggies that have happened in my life recently. It's been fun catching up blogger-boos! I'll try to keep up this time.
Night!
