Officially a FORMER STUDENT/ "Big girl"...

As usual it has been a long time since I last posted but trust me, I have been SUPER busy. On Friday August 8th (08/08/08, WHOOP!) I graduated from Texas A&M!! It didn't even seem real until I saw my diploma. The last couple weeks of school were SOOO stressful and crazy and at one point I was not sure how I was going to make it through Biochem. After millions of prayers and a lot of studying I pulled it off and passed and now my college days are behind me and up ahead is a great exciting new beginning. The trip "home" (or to my new home in Dallas) from College Station was extremely sad and filled with thoughts of college and how life won't ever be like that again. I threw myself a little pitty party the whole way but after the 3 hours I decided that life will go on.

I started my "big girl" job on August 15th with a great trip to Alanta, where the main office is located, for a week of training. Training was great and confirmed that this job is a good fit for me. The company I am working for is a young and fast paced staffing agency called Prestige Staffing. I am starting as a recruiter and hopefully I will steadily move myself up through the ranks over the next couple years. Now I'm not going to sit here and say working is the most fun I have ever had but I know for a fact it could be much worse. There hasn't been a day that has gone by yet that I don't get a few laughs in here and there.For those of you who know the Dallas area, I am working at a huge office building off of Hwy 75 and after lots of searching I decided to live out in Addison which is about 15mins from work. Mom came and helped me search for apartments and we were sold on Addison the second we saw it. Since I am living alone now it was important to find something safe and these are New York style apartments so you have to have a key to get into any of the gates. I have enjoyed living alone so far because I work 8-5:30 (or later) and most days I just want to go home, work-out, watch a few shows, and hit the sack. Another good thing is that Ross only lives about 10-15 mins away from Addison which has been a great change since the past couple months we were doing the long distance thing.

Well thats about all the updates I have for now, I will try to update this as much as I can during my downtime at work. I also have tons of pictures I need to put up but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I will try to be better at blogging :)

Gig'em and God Bless!!
