Bittersweet

After four years, I've completed my last day at my job. I was so excited to be done, but now I'm a little sad and an itsy bitsy teeny bit nervous. What if I don't like staying at home? What if I can't keep Josie entertained and we drive each other crazy? What if I just plain drive myself crazy?

I never meant to work at a bank. I just needed a part time job and the hours and pay were way better than anything else I'd done. Once I got past the overwhelming learning stage, I realized that it was more challenging than the average college student job and loved that about it. Then I was graduating and had no clue what I wanted to do. Why not go full-time? I like it, and it's available right now. Two and a half years later and I'm finally closing the door on this chapter of my life.

So excited for the future. A lot of trust in God at this point since the unknown always seems overwhelming. But sometimes the unknown is good. So good.

Blog Question

Who wants to help a poor lost blogger out? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the L show completely. The margin cuts off the loop and it is driving me crazy! I have tried "centering" the title and adding a space. Neither does anything. Any suggestions?

Catch up Post

Now that I've found my camera cord (USB cords are everywhere but where I think they are when looking), here are some pictures reflecting the last month or so.

First, my sister Lara celebrated her 21st birthday. We went to eat at Grazie's which is an Italian restaurant in town that I feel is kind of a hidden treasure. Her roommate and friend brought her a homemade cake that was super chocolaty and delicious. I'm constantly impressed when others can bake.

Josie was entertaining but also kind of a scene stealer. Hopefully auntie Lara doesn't hold it against her.

These two goons (dad and hubby) always have fun together.

At one point Josie lost hair tie and this is what she was left with. Somehow she still managed to be cute and sweet!

My meal. It was AMAZING and huge so we brought this much home and had an entire meal for two the next night. Thanks for dinner TWO nights in a row Mom and Dad!

Blowing out the candles before she goes out on the town...

Birthdays are so fun. :)

This little peanut has been more smiley and fun this month than ever. Just constantly. We're fans of this crazy little girl.

We put her in the laundry basket but she just about knocked it over. She did not get it, or maybe she did? I guess she did figure out how to get out super quick.

And she likes strawberries! Success!

Ok enough for now... picture dump is done. Three more days of work for me and then I'm done!

Midweek Confessions

I have been a terrible blog commenter lately and don't even really feel that bad about it. Partly because some of the blogs I read are ..bigger and cooler.. blogs than this little old blog so they don't usually respond and let's be honest. That is so discouraging!

I have sworn off coffee and pop but have had both this week. #Caffeinefail

My sister compared me to a spoiled bratty teenage girl because I use hashtags. I told her that all my cool (blogger) friends do it so it makes me cool too. #coolonlytomyself

I'm (sadly) relieved that Josie's hair has visibly grown because I was worried she'd look like a little boy with her new haircut (if I didn't put bows or ribbons in it). I think it just brings me back to the days when I legitimately looked like a boy (thanks mom) with the haircut AND clothing choices at times.

I found a tick on Buckley this morning (just crawling on him not attached yet THANK YOU GOD) and freaked out. I then proceeded to put on my big girl pants and remove it from him with Josie in one arm and her stuff in the other. Once removed, I had a mini freak out again because it got off of the clump of hair (sorry, Buck but its a small price to pay to not end up with lime decease) and got directly on me. I just imagine it disappearing from sight by crawling up and into my shirt. I really really really really hate ticks.

Happy Wednesday!
