Just a little update

So my first week of working for Chase is behind me.  I really think I am going to like being a teller.  Last week I mostly was just doing online training.  That got to be pretty boring, but once I was done with it I got to watch the other tellers run transactions for customers, and actually help with some.  It's a pretty fast paced job, which will be nice.  This week I only work Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I have to drive up to Middletown, OH for teller training. It's over an hour away from our house, so it's gonna be a long 3 days. 

Joshua and I have been incredible lazy this weekend.  There is so much I could be doing around the apartment, but I just want to be a bum!  Although today I did clean the carpet in our bedroom.  Not something I wanted to do, but Sadie (the dog) decided to poop on the carpet during the night, and smeared in it.  I went out and bought a carpet cleaner.  It was amazing to see how dirty the carpet was, and we have only lived here for 6 months.  I will be cleaning the spare bedroom carpet later, cause the cat has thrown up in there many times and it stained the carpet.  Then I will work on the living room, cause both animals have thrown up in there.  I really hope that the carpet will stay clean for a few months after I get done cleaning it all.  But it's not likely with our animals in the house.  Oh well, I love them even though they are messy. 

I know my posts are boring, and I'm not even sure anyone reads them. But it's fun to write about what goes on in the Lovett house.

Another Vent

So Joshua and I decided to join a gym.  Yea we both need to lose weight, but I'm not trying to lose it quickly.  I made the mistake of putting it on facebook that we are working out.  Now people are questioning why I choose to cook certain things for dinner.  Really? Did I ask your opinion on what I decided to cook for dinner? I get it that friends want to help out, but I don't need to be questioned. I'm a grown woman and will cook what ever I want to!  I appreciate people wanting to give their input, but sometimes it's not necessary. 

Ok I'm done venting now.

Job

I have been looking for a job since moving to KY in Feb. I took a position with Aflac, but it wasn't bringing in any money.  So I continued my search for something with regular pay. I finally got offered a part time job with Chase. I will be a teller starting July 25th.  I am excited about working again, and actually having somewhere to go.  It has been nice to sit at home, but it sure is lonely. If we had kids I would not want to be working, but we don't have any yet. So I must work!  Hopefully I will love the job!

July 4th

Once again I do not have any pictures. I'm just horrible with the camera these days. 

Joshua and I were invited to go to Ft. Knox to spend the day with a friend I met through my mom.  Even though it takes over 2 hours to get there, I decided it would be a fun thing.  Since I knew we couldn't stay for the fireworks I convinced Joshua that we should buy our own to shoot of Sunday night.  We did buy some, and it was fun to shoot them off.  I then made the dumb decision to drive around, cause there were fireworks being shot off all around us.  I had no idea that the city we live in was doing their celebration Sunday night.  We got stuck in horrible traffic.

Monday morning I got up at 7 to watch the Peachtree Road Race on the internet, I was hoping to see my brother and sister in law, but 11alive cut their coverage at 9.  Joshua and I got on the road about 10:30 to head to Ft. Knox.  It is such a pretty post, with lots of old houses and buildings.  We went to our friends house, Karla and John, and then headed out with them to the little carnival that was set up.  The rides were mostly for kids, but we did get on the Berry Go Round with Karla and her two girls.  There was a live band, who was pretty good. It was so hot and muggy out, we didn't stay there too long.  We decided to drive around and see everything on post.  They are building some really nice houses there.  We went to the PX and did a little shopping.  We went back to Karla and John's house and had a cook out.  The burgers that John made were HUGE and so yummy.  We also played some skip bo. Joshua and I lost both games.  We got on the road around 8:30 to head home.  The fireworks didn't start until 10:15, and since Joshua had to work this morning I knew we needed to head home.  I did get to see some fireworks while driving. 

We enjoyed the day, and Joshua got to talk military with John.  Maybe we will be an Army family soon!
