Stress-o-rama!

So this past week or so has been quite interesting. Allow me to explain why by digging into my past!! Don't be scared now, its alright!

I have worked at a credit union for 6 months now. Before that I was employed with Dillards, a large retail store thats like a Nordstrom. I quit Dillards because I was transferred down to the sales floor thinking I had no choice, but then realized I had a choice, but I couldn't go back to the Customer Service side of things. I really didn't like sales, it was not the type of thing I liked to do.
So I quit Dillards right after Christmas and found a job at the credit union. Its been a really good job, I've really enjoyed working here and I've made lots of friends. 
Two saturdays ago, I went into Dillards with Sven to buy some make-up because I've been running out of what I use, and was stopped by one of the managers that I was good friends with while I worked there. She was very insistent that I should come back, but I was hesitant. I didn't like working Sundays and having crazy hours, its been nice to work somewhere that closes at 6 and has holidays off. However, this manager was very insistent, so I played along. She told my old supervisor that I was interested, and she called me saying they had a couple positions opening up that I would be interested in. She told me that the Store secretary position was opening up because the current secretary was going to stay at home. I was in shock!! Utter shock, I tell you! So I told her I would think about it, and I called Sven. We talked about it and overall we had a good feeling about the change. The one position that I would ever go back to Dillards for had opened up. Its Monday-Friday from 9-5. Plus, I'd go back to what I left Dillards at, which is $4.00 more an hours than what I make at the credit union. So I told the supervisor at Dillards that I would take the position.

I went in on the next Tuesday to do all my paperwork and start training with the current secretary, because she was leaving that week, so I needed to go and learn what I could from her. I will not lie, I'm very nervous to do this all on my own. I have a LOT to remember and I'm really stressing myself out about it hardcore. I just need to get into it all and I'll be ok, but until then, I'm stresing out! 

Thats really the most thats going on right now, I'll post in a couple days about Sven's birthday. It went way better than I planned!! I just don't have a computer with all my pictures on it at the moment, so when I get time, I'll update you all on my sweet hubby's birthday :)

Song of the Blog: Savannah by Relient K. I've kind of been getting into Relient K again, I know, its a never-ending cycle with me and that band! I'll listen to them a lot, and then not so much and then a lot again. Right now its anytime a song plays on my phone, I don't skip past it! This is a good song though, plus I love how its titled my name :)

Pimpin out!

Well my friends, my car is officially pimped out! Granted, its not as pimped out as some cars, but its good for me! We just got a sub-woofer installed, we got a good deal on it, so now its thumpin! Its pretty sweet looking, I sure do love it :)
For some reason, the picture is a little cut off, I'm not sure why, but you still get the gist of it :) Instead of getting brand new hubcaps or whatever they are called, we just bought 40.00 wheel covers and stuck them on! The Converse sticker is one I've had for almost 2 years now, not knowing what to do with it! When we bought this car, I just knew thats where it should go! I love it :) Its a good car thats going to last me a while (hopefully!)

So this summer, Sven and I bought season passes to Lagoon along with his two brothers and their wives. We went once with them and we just went a bit ago with just the two of us. It was really fun because we had been bored and just decided to go! We went to Laguna Beach, even though there isn't much there, and played around for a bit and then we went on some rides! It was really fun, even though we found out later that we missed a birthday party for Sven's brother... oops! In our defense, when we were invited, we didn't know it was a party! Anywhoo, we decided to just stay at Lagoon, but it was really fun :) I love my honey so much! He is so dang good to me! He's also really good looking too :)

We are just so awesome!! No big deal :) How has the summer been treating y'all? Have you had any mad awesome adventures yet?? Blog about them and let me know!!

Song of the Blog: To The Wolves by Anberlin, I haven't listened to Anberlin that much recently, but as I was listening to my new sub, it came on and I remembered how much I like that song! Good stuff, Anberlin :)
