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
