New Routine

Well, life has changed quite a bit around here for me. After 8 months of unemployment, it takes a little bit of getting used to when you go back to work. I have been completely sleep deprived and constantly busy the past few weeks. I think I'm figuring it out all now and settling into a new Routine. My first 3 weeks of work have been:

week 1: studying & preparing at home

week 2: training in atlanta for 3 days w/ the whole company

week 3: 1st week out in the field seeing doctors

I am absolutely loving it so far!!! We have some great products, I'm so glad to be calling on pediatricians again, I really like my boss and all my co-workers, and I'm just glad to be out in the field again! The 3 days a week work schedule is working out fantastically so far so that is definitely going to help with the hectic schedule in the beginning.

What else has been going on?

1. Ben and I have seen several movies lately:

The Hangover--HILARIOUS must see! we want to go again!

Public Enemies-- good but a little slow at first. more for the boys.

Taken-- suspenseful, much better than expected

He's Just Not That Into You-- very very cute, loved the cast, we both enjoyed it

TWILIGHT--ok, ok... yes, we finally joined the masses and watched this movie. I have never read the books or anything, but of course have heard all the "hype" for a while. So we finally rented the 1st movie and watched it together. Ben liked it, and I on the other hand LOVED it, and am officially obsessed! I can't wait for NEW MOON to come out and I'm so glad to finally "get" what all the hype is about... now I just need to read the books so I know all the other fun details!

2. I FINALLY got a NEW CAR!! When my last company went bankrupt, I had to immediately return my company car. Then I was left car-less. Luckily, I 1st borrowed my dad's extra car, then for the past 6 months, borrowed Ben's dad's extra car (what a lifesaver). But once I got my new job, and found out that they wouldnt provide a company car but instead reimburse for gas mileage, it was time to purchase our own.... Say hello to my new baby (2009 black GMC Acadia):

3. One of my dear friends from middle/high school, Ann Brown, is engaged and moving to Iowa with her fiance, this month, so Ben & I went to her going away party Luau last weekend (after driving up to Montgomery for Ben's family reunion too, but i don't have pictures of that).

4. We headed to Biloxi Friday night with Katie and Jody just for a random night of fun!... and FUN we had! After dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, we hit up the casino... I like to play blackjack, but I can't stand losing money, so theres a conflict of interests there! haha, all in all it wasn't a big loss, and we just had a great time. After laying out by the pool on Saturday, we all headed back home.

5. We got Harper's hair shaven again and I think he likes it. It seems like it's so much cooler. I also bought him a doggie baby pool for the backyard since I have gone back to work and he has to stay outside in the heat every day now. He was hesitant at first, but I think he has jumped in a few times while we were gone! I'll take pictures soon. He also got a double ear infection, and we didn't realize it until it had gotten really bad, so after a trip to vet, I think he's finally on the mend.

That's just about it on our end. Life as usual other than all those other changes! :) I'll try to post more frequently so my posts arent so random and long next time! Have a wonderful week everyone!
