Ava Grace

I am so happy to say that my goddaughter is taking steps in the right direction and hopefully she will be headed home in just a few days! She is no longer on oxygen and they are just keeping a close eye on her. My bestie wasn't supposed to be released for 48 hours but thankfully they let her leave this morning so she could get to her baby. She was 45 minutes away at a hospital that has a NICU. Here is Ava today...

And the family

2nd week of work is going good so far, its only Monday though lol

I am close enough to home that I can run home to eat which is awesome! I even got to visit Frap!

Excited for the Bachelor tonight!

Taco + Friends

Last night we had some friends over for tacos, we used to do this quite often but we have cut back and only do it once a month or so. We had our usual crowd over and the main reason was so that Brooke could have a last taco night before the baby gets here. We ate, drank, and played a game called Imagine if...

Other big news... our goddaughter was born last night. She had air pockets in her lungs and was transported to another hospital 45 minutes from where her parents are. I feel so bad that they are going thru this. They barely got to see their daughter before she was whisked away. I think the air pockets are getting smaller so hopefully they will all be reunited soon. Please keep them in your prayers. 

Jail

Yesterday was an awesome day at work as we took tours of the different jails and police stations in our area. We were gone all day and although it was really interesting, it was exhausting as well. 

We first toured the main jail in our city, and then saw another jail a town over. I found it all so fascinating and I asked 100 questions but I loved seeing how everything worked. Many times we were in the same room as inmates and that was pretty crazy/scary/strange. I would kinda hold my breath as they walked by or what not. Deputies aren't allowed to have their guns/knives in the jail so all they have for protection is their tazers. 

There are two people in particular that committed horrendous crimes from my town and I got to see where both of them are being held until they are sentenced. They are both in a cell by themselves for 23 hours a day, with an hour to shower and that's about it.

Lastly, I am loving my new Scentsy plug in...

and Frappy snoozing :)

1st day

Today was my first day at the new job and it went really good! It was a day of introductions and what to expect for the next 7 weeks while we are in the "in-house academy".  I really like the other girl that was hired so I am thankful to have someone to go thru this with. I took a picture this morning on my phone of the uniform, no laughing girls... :)

The pants are still so big in certain areas, the crotch area is so long and I feel my butt looks way bigger then it really is. They also go up sooo high!! Green is so flattering.... bahaha

I also just caught up on the Bachelor...

I found these roses for $5 and had to have them :)

I loved seeing the hometown dates, especially Emily's. I could only imagine how freaked out Ricky was with all the cameras. Chawntels date freaked me the heck out!! She killed it. And her dad did too by making it sound like she wasn't leaving Chico.

I thought Emily looked STUNNING!!

She rocked the blue dress

I thought Chantel looked awful!! Eww for everything she chose, the dress and hair were hideous.

Off to bed, day 2 tomorrow!

Brooke & Brinley

Today I went to a baby shower for my good friend Brooke. She is expecting a little girl named Brinley around March 26th. The shower was fun, good to see some familiar faces and I loved watching her open her gifts. 

We played a few games and ate some yummy stuff, and then watched her open a mountain of gifts. I personally loved everything I bought, I know Brooke's style and I know she liked the stuff I had picked out. 

Here is the mom to be and I...

My girls :)

Cutest shoes!

One more day off then I start the new job!

Medieval Times

Last night we went with our good friends Megan & Trevor to Medieval Times and what a journey it ended up being! I thought if we left 3 hours early we would make it in plenty of time but that so wasn't the case! I didn't think enough about the main factors... LA+Friday+Rain=CRAZINESS.

We saw 4 car accidents in a few hundred feet of each other. And there were about 4 cars that hit each other in all of those. The rain really messes up LA drivers...

It was 5:30 and the show started at 6:30 and the GPS said we still had an hour and 40 minutes to go... and only 36 miles.... thankfully we called and they changed our tickets to the 8:45 show. We stopped for appetizers and drinks and then finally arrived at our destination.

We rooted for yellow and sadly he didn't win...

Our knight threw me this flower :)

That big drink was $24...

Today we are just being lazy at home while the rain pours outside... 

A few things...

Not too much going on over here... just tying up some odds and ends before I start the new job next week. 

Today I finally signed my official hire paperwork and got my ID card and what not. Its pretty exciting :) It all feels real now. 

This afternoon I hung with the frapster, here he is trying to get the sun...

We are expecting rain tomorrow so that will take our sunshine away. 

I came across this blog and I thought I would share it with you all...

Mal

Tonight we are going for Mexican food with my girl Amanda and her guy.

Tomorrow is finally Friday for all you working girls :)
