Bad News.. and Happy Thanksgiving

Well, it's been a while since I've blogged. I haven't had much to say, since life has been pretty boring for us lately. But I got a bit of bad news yesterday at work..

Publix will be closing my pharmacy on Dec. 20th (along with 5 others company wide)! :( I guess the economy is that bad. I am so sad!! That has been my 2nd home for the last 8 years and I love the people I work with!! My job is secure and the other pharmacists and myself will become "floaters" until they find us permenant stores. This really stinks too because I am such a control freak and now I'm going to have to go into other pharmacies that are run much different from how I run mine. It's going to be very hard for me! Plus, I won't be with Greg :( My district manager has a posititon she would like me to take starting in early '09 that I am thinking about. Publix is getting a new computer program, the same as Walgreens uses, (ours is a dinosaur, its similar to the old DOS systems). They would like me to travel around to different pharmacies and send a week at each store training them on the new system. It would be great for me as I pick up things easily and am pretty computer savvy. Plus I think it will be a good experience for me and maybe open some more doors. The only bad part is the wear-and-tear of my car. So I'm considering it and will give updates as I get more info.

Another good thing is that I recently started attending a new church with an old family friend, and so far I really like it. It is a VERY small church, but there are a few families that go there that I grew up with so it's nice to have people I know and feel welcome (we had a bad experience at one church where we were practically ignored!) I've got my parents to start going with me and they like it as well. The church is looking for a new Pastor right now, as our current Pastore wants to retire at the beginning of the year. I am praying they will find a younger Pastor who has a great vision for the church that will help us grow. So keep our little church in your prayers please!!

Also, 2 more weeks till Jenn visits! I am sooo excited!!!

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving with their loved ones!!

Fun Weekend!!

Jay and I returned home this evening from our weekend with Matt and Erin. We had a lot of fun... the four of us are TROUBLE when we're together!!


Jay and I got to their house around 1:30am Thursday night/Friday morning. Friday Erin, Jay and I went to the gym then came home and Erin and I cooked brunch and then later dinner. Jay mowed their huge yard. I have no idea what made him want to do this except that is was a beautiful day and they had a riding lawn mower. We had a nice relaxing day.



Saturday we went to Magic Kingdom during the day and then P.F. Changs for dinner and drinks. That was Jay's first time eating there. It was yummy!! Today we slept in, had lunch at a local Germand resturant (delicous!!) and then hit a few shops downtown where Erin and I scored a few used (cheap) books. It was a fantastic weekend. Thanks for letting us have your bedroom guys!!

So now I'm doing laundry and hanging out, dreading another long week at Publix.

Another Exciting Weekend!

Tonight when Jay gets off work (10pm) we will be hitting I-95 northbound to Sanford/Orlando. We are going to spend the weekend with our friends Matt and Erin. We are so excited for a relaxing weekend away!!! We plan on going to a drive in movie Friday night, Magic Kingdom on Saturday, and relaxing on Sunday until we have to head home. Erin and I will be Crockpotting also! Woo hoo!! Boy do I love my little (okay, big) Crockpot, and to find someone else who does too... jackpot!! Okay, I know, I'm strange.

Anyway, say a little prayer for us for safe travels and lots of fun. Have a fantastic weekend!!

The Cutest Little Monkey Ever!

Here are a few pictures of Dominic (Jay's little sisters baby) in his Halloween costume. He was so darn cute! He only made it to two houses before he fell asleep. But we had fun! :)






He liked his banana!

What are you doing to me, Grandma?
