The Start of Something New

Source: google.co.il

I finally started my job! AHHHH! I was stressed, nervous, anxious, excited...everything. And guess what? I still am. Let's now add overwhelmed to the pot. But, I will persevere and power through this! My boss said I'm doing well and already ahead of where she'd thought I'd be. I just started Monday, which is why you haven't heard from me in awhile. Boy, was I overwhelmed. I had many stressful moments over the week, but somehow, I got through it. I think I'm going to like this job.

I had a realization at work that this is now my life..I get up, get ready, go to work, work, and drive home. It's such a weird feeling that I'm finally working again. There's a lot to learn, but I think I can do it. I just need to get into a good schedule/routine. I need to figure out when I work out, when I clean, when we need to do laundry, etc. I know this will all come in time, but I wish it could hapen sooner rather than later.

For this job, I'm going to travel which is cool. I know it will be hard, but I think I can do it! :D

How do you feel when you start a new job?

How long does it take you to feel comfortable?
Do you get realizations and freak outs at work too? 

We've Moved!

   Hello Friends! Sorry for the impromptu hiatus, but hey, life happens. 
   Sunday, I helped one of my dear friends with a wedding. Oh my goodness, it was so beautiful and so much fun! And a bonus, I saw and spoke with Jenna Fisher (aka Pam from The Office) at the hotel with her baby. No, she was not a guest of the wedding, she was just a guest of the hotel.
    This week has gone by so quickly! Monday was moving day for Tyler and I. We packed up all of our things at his parents house, and everything from my storage, and made our way to our new place. Tuesday, the Army movers came with all of our stuff...Happy Valentine's Day to us! In fact, Tuesday was the first night we spent in the place, since we now had our futon haha. For the rest of Valentine's Day, we unpacked, went to the mall for dinner, bought things with our Macy's Wedding money (hello new vacuum, knives, and cooking utensils!), and went grocery shopping. Delightful :)
   The rest of this week has been filled with unpacking, relaxing/enjoying the new place, and buying the things we need to make this apartment a home. I'm so excited that we get to start decorating! Eeeee! Our new chapter has officially started!

Great Finds

    Wow! It's Saturday already? Can you believe it? Where did Thursday and Friday go? I'll tell you.

    Thursday consisted of apartment hunting and playing phone tag with a potential future employer. I just have to have another phone and in-person interview. Tyler and I fell in love with this one apartment, now all we have to do is get approved and we'll be moving out of his parents house. Woohoo! I'm so ready and excited!
    Yesterday, Friday, we test drove a car, went out to dinner, and just stayed home, relaxed, watched a movie, and had some wine. A good night if you ask me. Oh yeah, we also got this amazing coffee table from Craigslist.

This, my friends, was only $25. WHAT?! The previous owners only had it for 5 years, so it's in pretty good condition; only a few scratches and what not. Tyler and I want to change the drawer handles, but other than that, we love it! Our future apartment is slowly, but surely coming together.
   
  

Oh hey there 2012!

    Happy New Year everyone! 2012 is already looking to be a great year for us. There will be A LOT of changes coming up, but I say, bring it on!

• We need a car (Our goal is to have one by this coming weekend).
• I need to get a job (ahh!)
• We need to find an apartment 
• Tyler starts school again in February

See? There's a lot of changes coming...

    Other than the changes coming up in my life, I have some new goals for this year.
    I want to loose a little weight, but mostly, I want to get fit again. I need to start my work out regiment again. I have what I'd like to call holiday belly, haha. I just bought a new yoga mat, and I have Jillian Michael's 30 shred and P90X. I really need to join a gym again and find some good classes (i.e. yoga, zumba), and then I should be good to go!
    I also want to find my passion/what I want to do with my life. It may take the whole year, but I will do it!
    I also want to work on my cooking. Now, this past year, I have become quite the cook (if I do say so myself :P), so now, I just want to keep working and keep perfecting!
   Other than that, I just want to be happy and have a great year with my hubby! :)

Back in the Good Old US of A

    Well Friends, we made it back! And boy what a journey that was! We started off Tuesday at 5am (German time, 9pm Pacific), got ready, packed up the car and made our way to the airport. After some technical problems, our plane finally left almost an hour later. Ugh. Of course. We had a direct flight to California, so we only landed 15 or 20 minutes later than we were supposed to...still trying to figure that one out. Oh the wonders of flying.
    I was both happy and sad to leave Germany. Sad to leave the new friends I made, but happy to return to old friends and family. You know what's really weird about this whole situation? We're not just visiting for a couple weeks, we're moving here! It's so hard to fathom. You know what else is crazy? Tyler's out of the Army! What?! AH! So weird.
    I'm so excited to start this new chapter in our lives. It will take some getting used to, but I bet it will be great! :)
