PROMOTION!!!!!!

So it has finally happened y'all!! I got promoted! It happened a little later than I had hoped but it has happened and that is all that matters! I'm going to be the new ASSISTANT MANAGER at Hillside Village Apartments and with that comes a $2/hour raise!!! :D I'm so so so so so happy and excited that this has finally come! I really feel like things will start to get better now! :D I took myself shopping today at Kohl's to celebrate! So in order for me to get the job, Kerry emailed Tiffany today and told her that she is coming in on Friday to turn in her keys and get her personal items. I really don't understand how someone can just leave a company without giving two weeks notice. That is really immature and irresponsible, especially when you have kids to feed. Anyway, things are going to be really busy from now on while we try to find a new leasing agent and move our office over to the vacant unit while they are doing construction on our office. They will be working on it for about 3 months so it will be interesting. So I just had to share my great news with everyone! :D

The Hat Game

So I have actually been watching American Idol this year and have been enjoying it up until last night. I don't understand who/why people are still voting for Sanjaya. He really can't sing and it makes me sick that he wasnt' even in the bottom three and Gina was voted out! Haley should have gone home long ago, along with Sanjaya. It makes me sick that people are no longer treating this as a singing competition. I'm glad that Jordin, Melinda and LaKisha are in the top three. But then what is going to happen to Blake? He is going to need to do something to beat out those girls. So that was my vent session about American Idol, I hope you support me in it! ;)

In other news work is a little better I guess. Except for the fact that Liz is now telling Tiffany that Kerry and I both need to work Sat and Sun and Kerry is really pissed. I don't care, I would've liked to have Sunday off but since I don't know it doesn't really affect me. I'd most likely get Mon-Tues off which would be nice to have with Ray being able to take those days off better than Wed-Thurs. Tiffany said that she is really happy with my work right now and said that I have really stepped it up and she is impressed. She wishes now she had bumped me up instead of hiring outside but oh well, hopefully I'll still be rewarded for the work I'm doing.

My dad turned 50 last week so we had a couple different things for him. On his bday the fam went to Olive Garden, I got the Eggplant Parmigina...yummy! My dad's mom was in town so it was nice to see her. Then on Thursday we had my parents and grandma over to dinner and I made Crab and Artichoke Stuffed Chicken and was told it was very good. (sure hope people don't lie to me when I cook) Then on Saturday the entire family went to my parents for Taco Night. My uncle David brought over his Wii and my dad was being his competitive self on the bowling game. It was fun to see everyone. I guess Easter is at my aunt Nancy's this year, hopefully I can leave work a little early to head out there cuz I love being with everyone!

On Sunday we went to Tiffany and Nate's to play games. Nate's parents and sister were over so it was fun to meet them. We played 'The Hat Game' and it was so much fun! You put a bunch of names in a hat (famous people) and you draw out of the hat and you can say anything about this person but the name but it's hard sometimes because you might draw someone you don't know and try and figure out how to get people to guess it. Hopefully we'll be getting together more for games because it has been really fun!

I have booked our trip to Cannon Beach for May and I'm so excited! We won't be able to do as much as last time because we will have Max with us and he can't stay in the room alone. Wish they had a doggie daycare! ;) It will still be nice to get away and put out toes in the sand! Ray wants a BBQ for his bday so I also have to save up for that. I would've liked to get my hair done but money is a little tight right now. Kristy's wedding is on the 21st and I'm SOO excited! It should be fun! :D I think that is it for now, hope y'all are well!
