Camping Tonight!

Friday, 31 July 2009 11:51 by Nikki

Yay we are going camping tonight and I am very excited about it! Even though it is not very far from here, I just like getting away and out of the house.

Both my husband and I are outdoors kind of people, so going camping is exciting for us. I don't mind the hard ground and no air'heat! Also, no shower....oh well...you are out in the woods...showers aren't neccessary! Hehe!

Work is going by really fast today, which is good, since usually if you are looking forward to something the time goes by really slow! My boss and I are going to Costco to get some computers and other supplies in a little bit, which means when we get back I will only have to be here for like another hour or so...and he might actually tell me to leave early, since he likes to do that a lot on Fridays!

Well I better get back to work....I will let you know how the camping goes on Monday!

It's Going To Be A Good Day!

Thursday, 30 July 2009 09:59 by Nikki

First thing when I got to work, my boss told me that he wanted me to finish what I was doing and then meet him in his office...so I finished what I was doing and went upstairs to his office...Let's just say it was good news! I got a $1/hour raise! Then he also said that within the next three months he will review and I will receive another raise then! Wahoo!

After all of that excitement this morning, I just have a really good feeling that this is going to be a good day!

Also, not long after all of that, my mom sent me an email inviting us over for steak, potatoes, and salad tonight! I guess you can't get better than that! Tongue out

Work is going exceptionally well today! How can it not be? Smile

Well I am going to get back to work and get some things done!

Half Way There!

Wednesday, 29 July 2009 08:12 by Nikki

Well it is Wednesday, which means the week is almost half over already! Tonight we have church at 7pm!

Last night I folded and put away all the laundry when I got home and I had all of it done by the time that my husband came home, then we ate and played games. We never got around to making candles, but I think that we will probably hold off on that until tomorrow night at the earliest!

Update on this weekend!... It looks like we are supposed to get thunderstorms all weekend, so we will keep checking the weather closer to time and then determine if we are going to go camping still, or wait until next weekend! The only problem is, I have a feeling that next weekend my cousin and her baby will be down here or we will go to Tennessee to see them! I guess we will wait and see!

I still haven't changed my name yet, which is something that I should probably do pretty soon, and since we moved right after we got married, our marriage certificate is somewhere in a box... So I will need to find that first and then change my name and combine our bank accounts!

Well work is going well and the accountant people are coming sometime this morning to show us a few tricks as well as tell us what all they found when they reconciled all of what I did the last half of last week. I know I did well, so I am not worried, and besides, my boss told me that is their job!

I guess I should get back to work and have everything done before they get here!

This Weekend!

Tuesday, 28 July 2009 08:18 by Nikki

This coming up weekend my husband and I are going to go camping, which we both enjoy. We will probably just go to a near by state park and camp there! I am guessing that we will be going Friday night and Saturday night, then going home in the morning on Sunday to get ready for church! I am way excited about it.... I have a feeling that it is going to be somewhat relaxing, although I am sure we will be doing lots of hiking (but we both love doing that as well!).

Tonight I need to do a lot of laundry (well thankfully it is already clean, I just have to fold and put away)! Also, we got the stuff to make soap, so I think we might try that out tonight as well, which should be fun!

Work is going great, like I mentioned yesterday...it has slowed down a lot since I am all done with my accounting project, but I think it is getting ready to increase, which I don't mind. When you are busy the time goes by a lot faster, which is nice!

Well I better get back to work...

Done!

Monday, 27 July 2009 08:33 by Nikki

Yay! I am done with that huge accounting project, and it took me every second that I had to finish it on time! It was quite exhausting, which is why I was glad that the weekend was right around the corner.

This past weekend was pretty relaxing, and I definitely enjoyed it! On Saturday we hung out with some family that came in from Tennessee. Then on Sunday we went to church and the just relaxed the rest of the day.

On Friday night we made a mulberry (colored and scented) candle for my mom for everything she has done for us and it was really fun...then on Sunday we went right after church, on our way home, to another craft store and got stuff to make soap...so I am guessing we will be making some of that either tonight or sometime soon!

Work...well it has definitely slowed down since the accounting project is done! I personally love doing anything that involves a bunch of numbers, so I enjoyed it, but it was very tiring as well!

Alright, well I have my usual daily tasks that need to get done so I will write later...

Big Project..

Wednesday, 22 July 2009 09:26 by Nikki

Everything is going well with me...I am still loving my new car!

The rest of this week I have to work on a huge accounting project...which means not a whole lot of writing for me...especially since the deadline is end of busniess day Friday...

Well I guess I better go get started on it so I don't have to spend much over time working on it the rest of this week!

Loving Life!

Tuesday, 21 July 2009 08:49 by Nikki

I still love my car so much! It drives smooth, gets good gas mileage, and has a bit more power than my old car does!

The whole reason for us getting a 4 door car is so that when we get groceries, it won't be so hard to get them into the car. We haven't had to go to the store, and we probably won't for awhile, but atleast we have the 4 door car when we do have to go! It was such a pain trying to get groceries into a two door car when the trunk is too small to put anything in, so you had to try and cram them in the back seat, which was just a huge hassle. I am going to just put my little 2 door car on Craigslist and try to sell it myself!

Life is going great and I am loving it! My husband in wonderful and work is going well...so I guess I have nothing to complain about!

Tonight my husband and I might go get a few more fish for our fish tank...or we might wait until tomorrow night since we have to go pick up our small stand from Sears tomorrow night anyways....the only problem with that is that we have church tomorrow night, so hopefully the stand will come in tonight, or we might just have to wait until Thursday night to go get the fish and the stand. The stand is actually for the fish tank to sit on...So we are kind of needing that soon since the fish tank is about to collapse the stand that it is on now!

Well it looks like I have a few new things that I will be training for at work today, so I better get all my daily things done so I can learn all the new stuff....

So Exciting....

Monday, 20 July 2009 09:24 by Nikki

So this weekend we went and looked at cars planning to buy one on Saturday (one that we had looked at a couple time before), well we went there and went through all the paperwork, and then find out that they are not giving me anywhere near the lowest we would take for my car as a trade in.

Anyways... Needless to say I was pretty dissapointed...since I kind of had my heart set on it.

Well turns out we decided not to trade my car in and we would go back after church on Sunday and look at 4 door cars instead if SUVs....well we found the one I wanted and it turns out that it was very much so in our price range! We got it and I love it. It is a 2008 Dodge Caliber with only 12k miles on it! I am so very excited....

I need to get some work done since I only had to work for 2 hours on Friday...so I need to make up a little bit.

Off to work....

Panic!

Wednesday, 15 July 2009 09:38 by Nikki

Well last night was fun, we went and looked at some more cars and I think we are for sure going to get one this weekend! I am way excited about that! Then we went to Wal-Mart and got some things that we were in need of. Came home and cooked a pizza (cheese stuffed crust - my favorite)...and it was delicious!

This morning is where I had the panic (in case you were wondering about the title of this blog). So I woke up scared to death, since last night I had forgotten to set my alarm and it was unusually bright outside...so I was thinking I was already late for work...well I looked at the clock and it turns out that it was 6:40am, which is the EXACT time I usually wake up of a morning. Believe me at that point, I was WIDE awake.

Today is going quite well at work! Tonight we have church at 7pm.

Tomorrow is our trip to Atlanta which I am looking forward too! I think it is neat there! We will be leaving at 6 tomorrow morning (maybe I should make sure and set my alarm tonight - hehe) and returning around 9pm tomorrow night. That essentially means I get paid for 15 hours, so on Friday I will come in and work half a day and then go home and finish putting the laundry away as well as go with my mom when she gets of work to Sam's Club and stock up on a few items. So all in all I am excited about the trip.

Well there are a few things at work that need to be done in order for me to not have a lot of stuff to do on Friday when I get back, so I am going to go ahead and get a lot of that stuff done!

Last Night

Tuesday, 14 July 2009 08:47 by Nikki

Last night I had to go to an alarm prevention class, although I am the only one here that has not yet set it off! The class was 2 hours long, but in exchange for going I get two days paid off. I guess you can't beat that!

This Thursday we are for sure going to on the trip to Atlanta, which means it will be on my next paycheck...and it should be pretty descent! I will get 15 hours on Thursday, plus if I decide to work on Friday...that will pretty much be all overtime! Plus I don't mind being at work, and since I would be home alone, I might just go in for a little over half a day, and then go home and clean it real well...it needs a good thorough cleaning! Not that it is messy, but it hasn't been swept in a week or so...

Tonight we need to make a Wal-Mart trip for little things that we are finding out we are running out of or getting low on.

About the online business, we are getting pretty serious about starting that up soon! I am kind of excited! I am not looking to make a ton of money, just basically cover our costs, because I think it will be a fun experience!

Well I better get back to work. I have a few things that need to get done...
