Long Time, No Write....

Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated my blog! No time like the present! Much has been going on. First of all ... My braces are off!!!!!!! I am SO excited!! I had braces on for almost 18 months and (yes Jessica) it was so worth every pain, wire poke, and headache. Just look at my beautiful smile! ... :)

February 3, 2009 was an amazing day! I couldn't stop smiling all day. However, on February 4th, I got my dreaded retainer. :( But, I have been very good wearing them all the time (oops ... not right now) because I do NOT want to have to go through wearing braces again! :)

School started up again in January. I'm taking Economics, Accounting, and Business Law. Yeah, I have no life .... Classes are going really good. I really like the Business Law class. Very interesting. All my classes this semester are online which allows me more flexibility to complete assignments, projects, and tests any time I want.

Work is going really well. In January I received a suprise promotion. A friend of mine that works at another branch called me to congratulate me on my promotion. Had no idea what was going on! I was promoted to a Bank Officer. It was pretty exciting. It was my goal to work hard to get the promotion by the end of 2009 and I was promoted on January 1st. lol So .... guess that means I don't have to work hard! j/k :) Still loving my job at the bank.

My adorable nephew, Bode, will be 1 years old in a few weeks. Found out today Bode took 5 steps! He's such a determined little boy! I'm sure he'll be walking in no time and giving Travis and Alison a good work out every day. :) I just love that guy .. miss him so much!

My new exciting adventure is I'm house hunting! It's such a great time to buy and have you seen the prices out there?! Such a freakin' steal!!! I hope to find a home in a few months because the process is KILLING me! The very first house I looked at with my Realtor I fell in love with! But, sadly, it was under contract. (Why do realtors do this?!!? Dangle that house in front of me to just tear it away from me!) I know it wasn't meant to be and my dream home is out there waiting for me to move in!

Well, I think that about sums it up for now! I'll be back to blogging on a regular basis. :) Hope everyone is doing great!!
