So, its been a couple weeks since I last posted. I've been VERY busy lately! I start my new job Monday for orientation and MORE paperwork! It'll be in Columbus so the time difference and drive will take a lot of getting used to but I can manage. I'm very nervous at the same time because I really hope I enjoy the job and am good at it.
We also went to Savannah, Ga last week which was beautiful in EVERY way imaginable. I just know that we will be back as soon as we can. I could walk around there for hours on end.. even in the cold! We saw so many beautiful Live Oaks that it takes your breath away at first. We stayed at the Inn on Ellis Square and it was such a lovely historic building with HUGE windows and not to mention a great view of the river. We'll be seeing you soon Savannah ;]
Now, something that has been on my mind lately is relationships. I've been in all kinds in my short little life: long ones, short ones, loving ones, abusive ones, controlling ones, great ones, and not-so great ones. I feel like I have hit it wrong in the past but I am truly proud of my relationship today. I work REALLY hard at it, we both do. It takes a lot of giving and compromise..a WHOLE lot. But in the beginning you never see all that it will take. You see how cute the other is or how wonderful it is that you love a certain band that he loves too- now don't get me wrong that is important and all but its not even the icing on the cake.
The icing, that holds a relationship together for life to me, is the concept of change & growth. Can you deal with change/growth in your partner.. cause trust me not only will the physical change but a lot will change as your partner grows up and learns in life. And not only them, but you will change too! Its kind of like learning to love a new person through your whole life because the core, the soul is there but the aspects of people change..
Time is one of those things that matter but in a sense it doesn't. I was with my highschool boyfriend Will almost 5 years and we were in love, or at least I was. But not the kind of love that it takes to accept the future changes of each other. We were in love with each other for that time. I loved the High School him, and he loved the High School me. We never saw past friday night more less where we'd be in 5 years. 10 years. But now Jeb 4 years later with us, we're married. we're IN love. the kind that sees the future and embraces the change and growth we will come to. I can tell you from 19 to 23 I've changed drastically and Jeb has excepted that and as I have excepted him.
Almost ALL people who get divorced say, "Your not the person I married so many years ago." WELL DUH, people GROW! You are not going to be the same at 20 and 40. No way. Too many life experiences happen and mold you. If you are a lucky person, your partner will include you in the new molding, but some just leave there partner behind.
If you want a love that will last, really really last. Bring them with you in your changes. Always. Don't hide things from them just to spare them their feelings- be honest. It truly is the BEST policy.
And for those of you who think you'll be alone for ever, it is no where near true. You just have to find your Jeb :] and not be too busy looking for him/her that you miss them. It happens by chance truly. You could be at home or at the doctor or maybe even at your job.
Now I don't believe in soul mates but i do believe that relationships take work, hard work. and If they don't one person is hiding something because humans are unique and complex species.. you should know you are one ;]
LONG blog. A lot on my mind.

Sunday Night Blogger.
Not too much to report although my computer has been messing up lately so I might not post as much! :[
It keeps doing crazy MAC things.
One thing for tonight: Keep Jeb in your thoughts because he has his interview with Kia in the morning at 7am. We're keeping our fingers crossed. I just want him home. I need him home.
I'm also waiting on my background check to go through so I can start work with KMART. I hope it passes quickly. I have a lot to get done before I start.. so I need them to give me a date ASAP.
Keep me in your thoughts.

Don't be sad or broken hearted, Spread my ashes in the shoe Dept.
So i have been trying to add to my lack of a wardrobe since I found out I was getting this job. All ihad was college-y stuff. T-Shirts, Jeans, Flip-Flops, and of course my dreaded Oxford WHITE button up and black slacks. lol.
So as I find things cheap I buy them. Well, I found Dillards was having a GREAT shoe sell. I got a pair of Kenneth Cole flats, Jessica Simpson Flats, and nice leather heels Gianni Bini all for 43 dollars.
Would have been about 240 for all of them PRE sale.

*the brown ones are cuter in person I think, while I'm wearing them with my brown skirted suit ;]

Monday Night Deals & a laugh.
So Yesterday I worked a split but got off a little early because it was slow.. (ugh) So i headed to Tiger Town after work to Ross & Kohls. I needed to find Jeb some nice pants for his interview incase we don't find a nice suit at a nice price he can always wear slacks and a blazer. (WHICH he looks smokin' in! ) Everyone knows I buy nothing full price. I either have coupons or its on clearance. I'm cheap sometimes, I know. But hey, I save money!
So, I found these at Ross! I was SO excited.

$60 dollar Dockers for..

$8.99! Score.
Then I went to Kohls and found some great savings on the clearance rack!
These cute earrings!

and a really cute matching bracelet..

Yay! Cute stuff for very cheap. That's the best to me! :]
..So the laugh- I was reading Cosmo (my bible) when I read this article..

well I have seen Jeb do quite a few of these! haha. Can you guess which ones?!
I love my husband more than anything :]

My week.
This has been a very great week.. just work and Jeb :] He's been home this week and it's been very nice! I love waking up and making breakfast for us.. and having someone to cuddle with! (it's been cold here so that's a plus at night!)
He got an interview with the Kia plant for the 8th of February (wish him luck!) and I'm excited. I know its not archaeology or his idea of what he wanted to do but he'd be home with me every night which something I have not had in a year and a half. I miss him VERY much and I'm ready to see him everyday!
I decided to start taking more pictures and posting them for my family and friends who follow this blog.. so here was my morning on Thursday this past week.
I woke up to having to take this:
(which works miracles I swear by it!)
so Jeb suggested we make these..
which always taste wonderful! Even little Lola seemed interested :]
Just thought I'd share a fun morning with you all!
ps.. We also recently received a snuggie as a gift from my in-laws and you'd be surprised who always uses it!
He might kill me for this! Have a good week everyone! Love you.

Its been a bit.
Sorry I got a little behind! :] A lot has happened recently. Good and Bad, but you gotta have both right?
I got a career going! Starting to train with Kmart for Management making good money and SOOO READY! I have to get my background check, credit check, and drug testing done this week before they give me a location & start date. District Manager says it looks like I'll start in mid February.
Jeb is home this week. He is trying to decide what to do next. He got demoted from Lab and Field to just field which stinks money wise.. and we are a little behind right now. I wish he were able to go back to school right now but we just can't afford it at the time. I want him to apply to the KIA plant and just work there a couple years til we can pay off my Loans from school and then send him back. We'll see how it goes.
I'm ready for the chance to start a career.. and I'm very excited. You guys know I'm a hard worker so I think this is a GREAT job for me! :]
Alright EVERYONE have a great week and I'll keep you posted!
WAR EAGLE! Oh and Go Colts! (I got your back KDUB!)
