"Cuz it's the start of something new!!"-or something Zac Efron sings

Well I feel I need to post something new since it has been a long time!
Yes there have been a few changes we have gone through this last month, hence the reason I have not posted anything. I have been a bit consumed trying to figure out my new job of being an Apartment Manager!
I just finished my last day of training on Friday. Super fun, 3 days 8:30-5:30 p.m. in Salem which is almost an hour from here. But at least I didn't have to stress about someone watching Sammy for me since my mother in law and sister in law were there to help me out.
I forgot how much I kinda hate starting a new job, and really who doesn't? Not knowing what you are doing, feeling a bit stupid? especially when it's totally new and you don't have any experience with it? Yeah that's kinda how I feel, but really it hasn't been too crazy, just a lady wanting her carpet and linoleum replaced because "I have been waiting for months for this to get done!" and a few other small things. So I think the biggest thing that I'm stressed about it something happening that I don't know how to deal with, and just generally trying to figure things out. Besides that, so far so good! It was sooooo nice when I was collecting and writing down rent, and we didn't have to pay it!! Ahh so nice!

So we are moved in and have most of our stuff organized. Moving really stinks! You'd think I'd be used to it by now. In the last 2 1/2 years, Dave and I have moved 6 times!! Yeah it sucks. Most of our stuff has been boxed up for at least half that time! But at least we know we will be here for a couple of years. And I will say it would have totally been worth it moving here just to have our washer and dryer again! Sooo great! And we have a patio where Dave can do all his BBQing, and the other great thing? our Garage! and it's big! Love it!

So I think it will take me a couple of months to start to feel more comfortable about all the managing stuff, but we are happy in our new place, and we are especially happy because Dave finally got a promotion and raise!! (which we are surprised about with our current economy) he actually wouldn't have gotten a raise otherwise, but since he was promoted too, he was able to get a pay increase! He definitely deserved it, and we are very proud of him.

The next few weeks we will be enjoying the company of my parents for a week (yay!) and possibly my sister (to maybe look for a house) and the wonderful weather we've had lately up here, it's been great!

Free food!

Don't we all love free stuff especially when it's food??
Don't forget to go here to get a free meal from KFC! You can get 2 pieces of their new grilled chicken, with two free sides, and a biscuit. And...when you print the coupons out, after they are done printing push the browsers back button (you might have to push it twice) then they will print again, so you get 4 coupons! woo hoo
Do it quick because they are only doing it for 24 hours!
