Work World

Now that I have not blogged for almost a whole month, I thought I'd drop in and say "hi!". I can't believe it is February! That means we have been in Virginia for over a month and I have been working for nearly a month. Time sure does fly by!

Since I last blogged, I have traveled to both Cleveland and Chicago for work trainings, and Daniel and I have continued to explore the area, growing to love it more and more. We have joined a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class on Saturdays and are still searching for a church home. We have been cooking a lot (and we welcome any new, fun recipe suggestions!). It's been quite fun. :)

I have had a few weeks in my local office. I am REALLY enjoying the routine of work life; after a full day at work, I get to come home to my husband, make/eat dinner, and then sit around reading or watching some TV. Also, we have both been able to get into a good work out schedule at our new gym. I love wearing business casual everyday. I love decorating my own desk and cube. I love being a real accountant/businesswoman!

Everyone said I would eventually miss school life. Well, with the exception of family, friends, and my wonderful professors, I haven't yet; I don't miss homework and studying and lack of time to do anything relaxing and fun (such as reading for entertainment) or that horrible decision I made most days to not go to the gym because I had too much studying to do. Daniel and I even have the luxury of looking into getting involved in other activities: biking, getting back into piano lessons, joining Bible studies or small groups whenever we find a church home, etc. I know that eventually I'll start to miss classes,planning for future semesters, and being able to nap in the middle of the day, but I'm good for now. Don't get me wrong, all of this free time will go out the window for me pretty soon for about two months because of the dreaded "busy season", but once that is over, I'm pretty sure we will resume life as it is right now.

Tonight I get to meet with my good friend Rachel for dinner in DC! I am so looking forward to it. :)

Bye for now!

Random P.S.- For all you Bachelor fans, what was Ben thinking sending the accountant home this week?? He is definitely going to miss out. Bad move, Ben.
