An Announcement of Sorts

So I got a fun announcement (that has NOTHING to do with babies): I got another promotion at work!!! I'm so excited, my new position is Custom Funding Specialist :) basically it means I do the same job but I'm handling more money and for our bigger groups. The job technically started 10/1, I was so excited I decided to take last week off to celebrate...haha just kidding. I already had the time planned off. So I ended up only being able to train for two days, then had a week off, and then came back to it today. I will say when they offered me the position I was so excited, it wasn't until we went to bed that night that it really sank in what I'd be doing. I was really nervous at first and the whole week we took off I kept thinking what if I go back and they expect me to just know it already? Luckily I've got a really awesome TL who is very patient with me. I'm still in the same department, but I'm on a different team so it's all kind of new to me. I love it though, it is a lot of spreadsheets, which makes me so happy and calms be down a bit. So that's my fun news!

 

We did decide to take last week off to kind of be together for our anniversary (even though that's this week, we decided to celebrate early...kind of). The thing is I took SO much time off last year and all of it was away from home that after each time I'd tell Larry how I missed the cats, so we decided this year we'd take a week off and just stay home with them. It was much different than I'm used to and is the last of my time off for the rest of the year, but it was SO relaxing! We hardly left the house, I got to stay in my pajamas a lot, and I ate a ton of junk food! Haha. We did major Netflix Marathons/movie watching and just got to hang out. It did make me miss taking a vacation since the only other one we got was going to visit my mom in May, but I still loved it. Made it hard to leave the kitties this morning, but I was glad to be back to work and see everyone again. Luckily they didn't forget about me if my new desk was any indication:

 

So that's been our week/month so far. Next up: Halloween decorations/shopping. I've been dying to go to the pumpkin patch to get a pumpkin to carve and make pumpkin seeds...hopefully I'll get to cross it off the list this weekend! Hope everyone is having a great October so far :)
