Shoving luggage in

This week has been great, yet tiring! I started my job on Monday, and I absolutely love it! I love the people I work with, too. I have an itsy bitsy office, but hey, at least I have a space to close the door instead of a cube. I am going to decorate it next week. All I need is a tall lamp, a rug, and wall hangings, and snap! It'll be great. They ordered a new desk, so that will come within the next week or two as well. Just waiting on my laptop (I am using a temporary one right now) and cell phone.

I am getting very tired of "living out of my car." Okay, I do not live 24/7 in there, because I am staying with one of my best friends, but, I have a ton of stuff in my car. I have two boxes in my front passenger seat, tons of duffels, laundry baskets, Christmas gifts, lamps in my backseat, and all my summer wardrobe in my trunk. So, in order to get home for Thanksgiving, I needed to somehow fit two large suitcases, paisley suitcases might I add, into my car. After moving a lot of stuff around, it seems to fit. All of this to say, that I cannot wait to get situated!! Dec. 11 cannot come fast enough.

On a side note, here are some recent pictures my sister took. Now, I know they are not on the professional level yet, (she is only 17 with zero photography class), but I think she is developing a strong talent. I want to get her up at LU and find a photographer here that she can shadow under. People in their town in Alabama are already booking her for Christmas family shots, senior pictures, couple "I love you' pictures, etc. The child makes more money in a day than I do. I am very proud of her!
