New beginnings...

   As of yesterday, I am officially a temp at Liberty Mutual!! I ended up getting offered a different job than I interviewed for, but it pays more for the same amount of hours...AND it's more than I was making at my old job...This should REALLY help us with our bills & saving for a house! I'm so freakin excited!! I didn't tell many people about the job offer when I got it a couple weeks ago, mostly cause I didn't want to jinx it at all...But I definitely have the job now, and I start Friday the 28th...Even though I'm super excited, I'm kind of bummed that I couldn't keep working at my old job...If Ryan's job gave him more hours I probably could have stayed working there whenever I was needed, but that just wasn't the case...I really hope they start scheduling him more soon...

   Not only will the pay be a bunch better (mostly cause I'll be having more than 3x as many hours), but I get to have my lunch with my awesome mother-in-law every day pretty much!! It'll be great getting to spend more time together!! My cousins Lisa & Melissa also work there, so I get to spend time with them as well :)

   I wish things on the weight loss front were coming along more quickly...I'm way too damn impatient with this sort of thing...I want like, instant results, and that's just not happening...A week or two ago I found I was already down 2 more pounds, but I'm not sure where I'm at now...I've been walking briskly on the treadmill every day for 45 minutes, and it seems to be helping a bit...I just want to look amazing this summer in the worst way...

   It's killing me to see all these people getting amazing tax returns...I think at the very most, IF we're lucky, we might get $1900 back...And that's being very generous...Although, it'll be significantly less if we pay someone to do it...We've never had to worry about it, cause the base did them for free, or cause I did them using Tax Slayer when Ryan was in Korea...I kind of want to do them myself, but idk how to handle a loss on my Athena's...I should just suck it up & pay someone to do them...I just envy anyone getting tons of money back right now, lol...

    I  know it probably sounds really whiney & whatever, but I've been feeling kind of left behind with my friends lately...It seems everyone is having kids right now...It was odd for us back when we got married, cause none of our friends back here were, and they didn't understand why it was so great...Now most of our friends are married & pregnant, or in a serious relationship & pregnant...That's just not what we're interested in at all...Maybe down the road somewhere, but I HIGHLY doubt we'll be changing our minds on the whole having kids issue...I'm just worried that people will start to think we have less in common becuase we don't have kids, and don't plan to...I'm also starting to feel guilty that we're not having kids, so our families have been really kind to those of our friends who are...I feel like it's just expected that when you get married you're supposed to have kids...It's like I'm robbing my family of having grandbabies & whatnot...Idk, it's just a really strange feeling...

   Well, I need to log off here & go to bed so that I'm not a freakin zombie on my first day of work...Until next time my friends...
