Catching Up

My, oh, my!

I have truly missed my blog in this short time. I needed a way out, but between starting my new job, being in physical therapy and doing things around the house, time got away from me. So I figured I would get some thoughts out while I have some time.

I started my new job last week and while it was a rough start the first two days, I made it through orientation and started my training. I can honestly say that I really like what I am doing and I really think I will continue to like it. this new job has truly been a blessing from the Lord himself. My drive time has gone from an hour and half, now to thirty minutes. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays I go to my mom's gym for a morning workout and then head to work, and on Mondays and Fridays I am able to get a lot done around the house to help free up my weekends. I can literally feel the stress melt away since having this job. I am so grateful!

In other news... Ryan has started the process for adding a patio outback and redoing our walk way. Everything should be done Saturday. I must say, that I am looking forward to enjoying meals out back on the patio this Spring and well into the Fall.

Since we will be moving the grill from the deck to the patio, this frees up the deck for me to add two chairs and a small table. I can now enjoying my morning coffee and my book with the open room. Speaking of chairs and table for the deck... I have my eye on chairs and a table at Target that I am just waiting and hoping they go on sale. Whoever said "Diamonds are a girl's best friend," had clearly never been to Target. Pretty much everything at Target is a girl's best friend; at least in my opinion.

And of course I will need to add some navy blue or mint blue pillows for comfort ;)

Now that I am settling into my new career, I hope that I can keep up with the blog and all of my favorite bloggers.

Five on Friday Link Up

Good Morning Y'all!

 

I'll get right down to my Five on Friday.

 

1| It is a bittersweet day for me, as today is the last day working at the firm. However, I feel so blessed to moving on to a better career and much closer to home. I have been praying for a career like this to come along, and sure enough God came through for me! =)

 

 

 

2| To celebrate my end and new beginning, Ryan and I are going out to dinner tonight. I absolutely love Longhorn Steakhouse and it is right down the road from us, so that is where we will be going.

 

3| We will finally have a Saturday where we aren't running around and not getting stuff done at home. It will be nice to stay home, clean and hangout around the house. (you know you are getting older when you are excited about cleaning your house on a Saturday.)

 

4| On Sunday we have our best friends gender reveal party. I am so excited to find out what they are having. My guess is a little baby boy.

 

5| I finally got another form of social media; Instagram! Up until now, I only have this blog and Pinterest. If you have any interest in following me on Instagram, here is the link: https://instagram.com/sweet_mayberry/

 

 

Catching Up

 Just thought I would do a quick catch up day since I haven't been posting much. Considering my last day with the firm is this Friday, I have been extremely busy trying to close things up and clean out my office all at the same time. Needless to say, this week will be crazy at work.

 

In other news:

 

I finally found a cute white and navy blue rug to watch our living room. I got it at Target for $50. There is no way I could pass that deal up!

 

 

I made Easter baskets for the little ones.

The baskets for the two older kids consisted of:

Kites

Bubbles

Sidewalk Chalk

Rainbow Goldfish Snacks

Jelly Beans

Candy

 

The baby's basket consisted of:

Gerber baby cereal

An outfit

Bright Starts Vibrating Teether

Baby Orajel Teething Gel

Boogie Wipes Unscented Saline Nose

 

 

Palmer's first Easter. He and his Uncle Ryan just love spending time together! It melts my heat seeing them together!

Ugh...and the toughest part about leaving; giving up having my own office. Bittersweet. I have taken home almost all of my law books, but I think I'll wait to take home the rest.

 

Although I am giving up having my own office, I am SO excited to be starting my new job next week. I feel extremely blessed to have been given such an opportunity with this new job. 

 

Time to say Hello to a new beginning that I am very ready for!

 

 

Happy Monday, Y'all!
