The Princess and the Pea

Sometimes I find myself relating my life to fairy tales. When I was younger, I always used to pretend I was Ariel from the Little Mermaid when I was swimming at my grandparent's condo in Jupiter, Florida. Other times, I'd sit out on a blanket and pretend I was Jasmine from Aladdin. Today, I was the Princess from the Princess and the Pea.

Only I didn't feel the pea under several mattresses. I found the razor blade in the box of shirts.

And sliced a huge chunk of my fingernail off. Middle finger, left hand.

Had to have my finger cotarized. My finger looks like a cartoon character that just hit his/her hand with a hammer and bandaged it. This entry is becoming increasingly hard to type.

Anyway, I can safely say I am more than thrilled to be starting my new job Tuesday. In fact, while the tech was trying to get us to do a survey and talking about my finger being cotarized to my dad (who kept me from sobbing the entire ER visit), Wells Fargo called to tell me about my first day at my branch. I think they might be rethinking their job offer to me.

My advice today is to look before you leap. Or at least look before you stick your hand into a shipment box.

Thanks for making me a fighter...

The past two days have been riddled with frustrations, but through it all I've realized I've danced in storms far worse than these.

I can now announce that I will no longer be employed with dELiA*s as of June 1 and will be starting work at Wells Fargo Financial June 1. I am very excited for this positive change in my life and for whatever happens the next two weeks at dELiA*s I will just say, "Thanks for making me a fighter."

There's been a slight bit of drama regarding my upcoming nuptials and for all the drama all I can say is this... I wasn't raised to take anything lying down, and I know in my weakest moments my family will always be there to support me when I can't stand to fight anymore. All I really want by midnight August 13, 2011 is to have my husband by my side.

On a lighter note, there will surely be pictures from this upcoming weekend because Kelly is coming to town!! He will be here Saturday, May 22 through Wednesday, May 26. I have to say, this trip could not come at a better time!

Anyway, like I said, longer post this weekend!!

Changes are a comin'...

I thought I'd share a few photos from some adventures we've had the past few days. I promise a longer post later about changes that are happening, but I need time for everything to fall into place before I can really delve into any specifics.

Until then, enjoy Minnehaha Falls-we certainly did.

Wishes, hopes, and dreams

I wish the weather was cooperating with me recently so I could take a few pictures to post here, but my days off have been riddled with disappointing lighting.

I hope the weather gets better to take better pictures and so I can lay out to try and get some sun before the cruise--which is in a little over a month!!

I dream that time will go by quickly, for the cruise and for many other things. There are many things up in the air right now and I dream that they settle down so I can figure it all out.

But it all can start with a sunny day.
