The last week or so

This past week I have been kind of busy with school starting back and I also am training my new job at Lifecare. I will start next Monday as a treasury accountant for mainly construction. I am excited but also nervous. I still feel like I should be in school and am not old enough to have a real job. I am also very sad to leave my friends who are more like family at Crawford's. This Friday will be my last day so I am sure it will be an emotional one. This is also the second week of school and I am starting to get some homework so that is no fun. I cannot believe it is almost September! I am kind of happy though because it means our winter vacation is getting closer! My parents, Chad, Lauren, Carter, Brandon, and I are going to Orlando, FL the week after Christmas for a week of relaxation and a trip to SeaWorld. I am really excited because we have never been anywhere in the winter. This is what I have been up to this past week and I thought I would post since it has been awhile. :)

Last week of summer

Well, this is officially my last week of summer vacation. Classes start August 19th for me and while I dread the work, I am excited that it is my last semester in college! I cannot believe time has flown by so quickly.

Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee

This past weekend, Julie and I went to a friend of her's wedding in Eatonton, GA which is about 3 hours from Cleveland. Here are a few pictures of the beautiful cake, the ceremony, and of course us!

Weekend Fun

This weekend was not real eventful but still fun. Friday, Brandon and I ate dinner after work and hung out at his house. Saturday I had to work and then I joined my family at my dad's work picnic at the YMCA pool. I didn't wear my bathing suit but I was regretting it after we got there. The pool is so nice at the Y and I would definitely like to be a member there. Sunday after church my Mamaw Nancy (my dad's mom) cooked lunch for our family and it was good but the power went out during church and Papaw had to bring the generator around to the front porch so Mamaw could warm our food that she had cooked that morning. I felt like a real redneck but at least the food was warm. Carter entertained everyone as usual...he is now sitting up and is really getting the hang of it. He also enjoys jumping in his jump-a-roo which is so hilarious. He will jump non-stop in it until he is out of breath. Tomorrow is back to the grindstone with school. I have a paper to write before class so that will probably take up the day. Until next time...

B-b-b-bad Bad to the Bone

Dad's Harley Riding Partner in Training

Ok Ok Ok

Ok Julie, here is an update on my life. Today I am sitting in the computer lab at school waiting to take a final exam in my Accounting Information Systems class at 5:30. This month I have a class everyday of the week from 11:40 to 1:20 so it pretty much ruins the day. I haven't been working that much because of classes but I manage to squeeze at least 10 or 15 hours at good ole' Crawfords. I was thinking the other day about why I am taking summer classes and rushing to get out of college. After college only comes bills and 40 hours of work each week...what am I thinking?!?!

On Father's Day, we really didn't have a big celebration. My dad actually made me chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. Chad was working so dad got his gift Saturday night which was I believe it is called an engine cover for his Harley that has the firefighter emblem on it. Dad really liked it.

Yesterday, I managed to get an afternoon in at the pool at my Gran's house. It was hot but the pool felt nice and my cousins, Allie and Katie got to join us. We had a nice day there except for my mom taking a fall in the water drain and getting a bad scrape on her knee.

This weekend, Chad, Lauren, and Carter leave for Seaside, FL with her family for a week of vacay...I am very jealous and wish we were going to the beach this summer. It's just not the same when you aren't anticipating that week on the shore all summer long.

Carter's Dedication

Carter was dedicated Sunday, June 1st at Gracepoint Church. He was so cute on stage, very content and even managed a big yawn while the pastor talked about his future which got a laugh out of everyone. After church, Lauren's mom Susan had everyone out to her house for a lunch in honor of Carter's big day. This picture is not from this day but I thought it was too cute not to post. Nice drool Carter boy!
