Scatterbrain Tuesday!

Jared and I had SO much fun yesterday...and do you know what we did?? We rode around his property called "the river" just enjoying each other's company! I love days like that ya know? The phrase "it's the little things that really mean the most" is true. I don't need fancy dates, just time with my fella! 

Jared and I both LOVE music, Jared stays more into country whereas I like all types. Anyways we rode around with the windows down just genuinely enjoying each others company. I know it sounds corny but between my school and 2 jobs and Jared's 2 jobs we really don't get to BE with each other even when we're together sometimes, so it was just nice to be able to do that yesterday! 

• Okay so call me crazy (or extremely unhealthy) whichever you please, but I love fried pickles. I love pickles in general but I have been on a fried pickle craze lately. I found an awesome recipe for fried pickles and I am so EXCITED to try it...maybe for the super bowl :)

• I haven't been doing much lately other than school, work, and more school. I need to be writing a paper on the Tdap vaccine, but somehow or another I ended up blogging tonight.

• I can't wait to actually become a RN, I feel like my blogs will have lots of interesting stories, today some of my classmates and I were talking about our past clinical experiences and all I can do is laugh. Man-oh-man we have seen some interesting things!

• So Jared's grandmar found us a table and got it refinished... I am so excited about this table. It's black walnut and absolutely beautiful, I think I may have found a set of chairs for it I liked today. I don't have a house, but at least I have a table!

• Y'all I had a lady straight diss Jared today, I understand that we have been dating for a LONG time, but just because he hasn't proposed in someone else's time-wheel doesn't meant they have the right to talk negatively about him or IT to me! This lady upset me today, pretty much demeaned my whole relationship... RUDE! ok I'm off my soapbox. I promise!

• You know they really meant when they said if you can count 5 good friends on your hand you're doing good. For real.

My post is all over the place and I apologize, but until next time y'all!!

Catching Up!

Hey again everyone! I have come to terms with the fact that I am not the best blogger.. however, I am going to catch up with what all has happened in the past couple of months!

Last semester was terrible & I repeat TERRIBLE! I have never had my limits tested school-wise as I did in the fall. I felt like there was a roadblock at every turn, every time one thing would get better another would fall apart. I also struggled with a couple of skin conditions (that makes me sound like a total weeny) however, they weren't the easiest to deal with.
        Towards the middle of the semester I came down with shingles. I swear to you that was one of the MOST painful things I have ever had to go through! I missed a little over a week of school because I was at home unable to move for fear that my nerve endings were going to cause me to writhe in pain! So I get through with those stupid things and at the end of the semester (FINALS week) I came down with a really bad case of poison ivy.. so I had a nice battle with benadryl while trying to study!

I'm an AUNT!! :) Bailey Grace came into the world 10-22-12. I am in loveeee with that beautiful little girl, and I absolutely LOVE seeing Jared with her! He's already the best uncle!!

I am working at Chick-Fil-A now! And I LOVE it!! I was extremely nervous whenever I got hired, working in the food industry was never on my agenda, and until now the closest I had ever been to the food industry was making chef-boy-rd lunches for teenyboppers at a summer camp I was a counselor at! This is one of the best companies I could ever imagine working for. It is SO refreshing to go to work in a Christian environment, where we can bow our heads and pray as a group & receive no backlash for it. I have had so much fun with the opening of the new store in Cordele, I got to meet a lot of cool people and do stuff that some people will never get the opportunity to experience with this company. On the Wednesday before our opening day Dan Cathy (Truitt Cathy's son) spent time with us and helped us open the new store!

Jared and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary, I know I got all mushy-gushy in my last post so I promise that will not occur here. However, he took me to Atlanta for our anniversary! He's such a good date, he's kind of a romantic, but I'm pretty sure he'd never admit it :) Every year for our anniversary he plans it, he doesn't tell me what we're doing. He doesn't tell me where we're going, and I love it!! We went to the Fox Theatre to watch Beauty and the Beast! I have never been to the Fox before but after watching the play I was hooked, and I will definitely return for another (Hopefully Mary Poppins!!)

I'm all over the place with this post, but I just want to catch everyone up!

Christmas this year was awesome! I'm extremely sad knowing that Jared has to work this year :/ It's the first time since he's been a fireman, so like 5 years. But here's some pictures from Christmas!

Jared, Me, Jenn, & John-John

Isn't Mrs. Sally's Christmas tree beautiful?!

Me and the cutest little girl ever!

The ladies

After I got pictures from the Averill family, I realized how much the Arnett's slacked this year with pictures.. my family has never been big on taking pictures, but I usually at least get one at Christmas time... but not this year!

Well folks I think it's time to put the computer up! 

God Bless <3
