Welp! Today Is My Last Day....

Today is my last day of work and I am having so many mixed emotions! I have been with this company for 5 years now and today is soo bittersweet for me. I have formed personal relationships with each and every person and it will be weird to come to work and not see their faces. On the other hand, I am beginning a new job on Monday in a completely new city. This position is in the field that I studied in so I feel as if I've accomplished something in the past four years. I'm excited that I am going to learn new things and meet new people, but its still hard to leave the familiar. One of my biggest fears is getting lost in the city. AHHHHH!! Me and my mom are doing a "test" run tomorrow morning during morning rush hour to see what train to take and roads to walk. Soo all in all I'm ready for new beginnings!

My New Chapter!

Ok Ok Ok sooo I know I have been the MOST horrible blogger right now but I've been crazy busy with sooo many things going on. Hmm let's see where I do even begin to fill you all in on what's been happening with me (not that you all care, buutttt oh well). Within the past week 2 of my best girlfriends got engaged to 2 of the most amazing guys ever! I am sooo estactic for both of them. Congratulations to you both!! Moving right along my sister is getting married in November soooo now is the time that my mom and grandmom become CRAZY!! "We gotta plan this, do that, do this" Geez do I ever get a break?? Not that I am not happy for my sister because I couldn't be any happier for her, it's just she lives 2 hours away so I get to hear ALLLLL of the craziness..whew! Let's see in other IMPORTANT news (and why this title is what it is)...I GOT MY START DATE FOR THE NEW JOB!!! I start a week from today and I am soooo frickin nervous!! I will be working in the city which=taking public transportation..pft..now this should be interesting....I am wayyyy excited though. I finally feel like the last four years are paying off and I am actually in the field that I studied in. Yay to new beginnings and chapters!!

Hmm this past weekend my mom came shopping with me to pick up some new work clothes since I don't really have too many. It was nice to spend some quality time with her! It will be sad to leave her after this week (I have worked with her since I was 17). I thoroughly enjoy our morning/evening car rides to/from work. That's where we do ALOT of our talking. It will be weird next Monday morning hopping in my car and driving to the speedline (with no one to talk to :( ) and going to work by myself. My mom is one of my best friends so I definitely think this will be hard on both of us. Thankfully she is totally supportive! Love you mom!!

Soooo if you are still reading I commend you!! But....pictures are coming. One of my friends who is a Marine and is stationed in Japan (and one of the guys above mentioned engaged) came home on leave so a bunch of us decided to go to the city to celebrate his return. Can I just say I had WAYYYY too much fun. My friends are absolutely amazing!! Ok Ok Ok..so here are some pictures...

Good afternoon bloggy friends. Hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday...I know I am! This past weekend was amazing. It was my Graduation Party AND Father's Day..how special. Anywho Saturday afternoon my Graduation Party started around 4:00 and we were expecting anywhere between 75-100 people. Talk about in all my glory 75-100 there to celebrate me! Talk about AWESOME!! Anyway we had a DJ that arrived at 6:00 with a kareoke machine and we also had a slushie machine (talk about a big hit). Everyone had a blast on the kareoke machine that we even paid the DJ extra money to stay an extra hour. Ha..I had the time of my life and I am soooo thankful for all of the amazing people that are in my life!! Of course this post comes equipped with pictures so here ya go!

Now on to why I am having such an amazing day....I GOT A JOB OFFER!! I am sooo excited and can not wait to see what the next chapter of my life brings :)

From the past to the present.

So last night was my youngest brother's 8th grade Graduation. As I sat in the audience looking at the stage, I remembered what it was like sitting in those very chairs just a short 8 years ago. I feel like it was yesterday that I was graduating 8th grade and moving on to high school. It amazing to see how far I have come in these past 8 years.

In 8th grade, my emotions were allll over the place and I had what I thought would be friends for a lifetime. Upon entering high school some of my "closest" friends moved on to new friends as I did too. All throughout high school I maintained a close knit of about 4 other girls which we considered ourselves "The Fab 5." To this day I am still extremely close with these girls. We met in 7th grade when I moved and have never looked back.

During high school I had my heart broken more times then I can count. I never thought I would find anything that loved me for me. Fast forward to senior year where I met Kyle, my current boyfriend. He was/is the most amazing person and 4 1/2 years later I know what true love is.

Now 8 years after 8th grade I have graduated college with an Accounting degree and am looking for my first "big girl" job. I am soo happy with the way my life is panning out and am soooo excited for what is to come. I have been through alot these past 8 years but those experiences are what makes me who I am. Well everyone have a wonderful Thursday and thanks for reading my rant. :)

Patience is NOT one of my virtues!

Hii bloggy friends!! So this week so far has been spent with an anxious ball in the pit of my stomach. I don't want to jinx anything so I'm keeping details under wraps, but just know I am hoping to hear good news by the end of this week. Cross your fingers for me please because if I do get the good news, it would truly be an amazing opportunity!! Ahh..I'm going nuts waiting!! Anyway I can't believe it's ONLY Weds. I woke up thinking it was Thursday (dont ya hate that.. ugh). I am sooo looking forward to this weekend. Friday night a group of my friends (and my b/f's cousin who lives in TN and I rarely get to see her) are going to the Phillies game!! Yay! Then Saturday afternoon is MY Graduation party. I can't even describe the excitement for that. We're expecting 75-100 people throughout the day and my mom even rented a DJ and a slushie/margarita machine! She is the BESTEST mom in the ENTIRE world!! Thanks mom!!! Well keep your fingers crossed for me and hope for the best. Thank you!!

Back from Vacation!!

I know it's Wednesday and I told you all I would be back on Monday, but between crazy work and unpacking, it has just taken all of my energy!! Anyway, vacation was AMAZING!! We had sunny weather everyday and it only thunderstormed 1 night. It was actually pretty neat because our condo was oceanfront so we got to see the lightening right over the ocean (talk about beautiful). I don't have a ton of pictures because my camera broke the first day we were there (sad, I know). Let's me do a recap of my awesome weekend. Well at 12:30 AM Weds. night (thurs. morning) the 9 of us loaded our 2 cars and headed out. Within the first hour we were all passssssed out except our 2 drivers (thank god, that may have been a problem). Anywho we arrived at our beloved Southern House of Pancakes around 9:45 and ate breakfast. We then went to the hotel, checked in and went food shopping. This was the view from our condo (talk about amazing!)




Thursday night we went to an all you can eat seafood buffet which was delish! I ate soo many crab legs (which are my favorite) so I was quite happy and fat :). This picture is me and the girls before we went to dinner.


Friday we spent a good amount of the day on the beach, then relaxed for the second half. Friday night was our "big" night out so we went to Broadway at the Beach (which had a ton of different bars) We went to this one place called Crocodile Rocks (if you're ever in Myrtle Beach you have to RUN not WALK to this place) They had 2 pianos on stage in which 2 musicians were dueling. It was amazing. Friday night was awesome night that lasted until 5:00 AM (whew we were soo tired the next day). Kyle won me a monkey from the water gun game. I thought that was soo sweet but I figured a little girl could use it more then me so I gave it to a girl walking by (I think I made her night).


Me and the girls out front of Hard Rock Cafe at Broadway at the Beach.


The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and eating good food and being with friends. I loved every minute of it and wish I could go back! Well if you are still awake at this point, I commend you considering this post is entirely way toooo long! Hope everyone enjoys their hump day!

In aprrox. 9 minutes...

I'LL BE ON VACATION!!! Me and 8 of my friends are packing the car up tonight around midnight and heading out for Myrtl Beach. Last year the drive took about 9 hours so hopefully this year won't be any different. We'll get there around 9-10AM go get breakfast then go to the condo and check in. I've been under sooo much stress lately with trying to find a job that this vacation is exactly what I need to help me make some decisions. Hopefully it will be nice and I will get some MAJOR beach time!! Anywho I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week and I will be back on Tuesday. Bon Voyage!!
