Truly Blessed

This weekend was wonderful. Saturday morning I received my first ever professional massage and I must say it will not be the last time:) It was amazing! I was able to experience a complete salt scrub as well as a Swedish massage:) Both were awesome! It was wonderful being able to do this with my mom and sister. I don't think they realize how much getting to do things with them means to me. We followed that by lunch at the only restaurant I think my family knows of, the one and only; La Parilla:) We met my dad, Honey and Aunt Cathy. After that it was a day with the ladies. I was on a mission to find a fall work wardrobe. It has been a mission. When did clothing companies quit making brown work skirts? Did I not receive the memo? Silly of me to think that brown was a fall/winter color...After traveling for the past month near and far to find this amazing brown skirt that does not exist we ended up at Macy's. When I had lost all hope and it just seemed inevitable that I was going to have to do without a brown skirt; I see Jennifer (my sister) sprint to the right out of the corner of my eye. That's when I saw it, like a beam of light came out of the sky and landed on a brown skirt! There were two left and they were both on the mannequins. I had my fingers and toes crossed that one of them was my size! Praise Jesus one of them was!! Finding this skirt has been an act of congress. Finally, a brown skirt with no jacket...Almost there!

On Sunday, Chad had to work so I went completely domestic. I went to the grocery store for the week. Got home and unloaded. Started the laundry. Got a pot of homemade chili and baked peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies:) Both homemade! I wanted to have both ready for when Chad got home so we could enjoy them during the Falcons game. Falcons rocked that stadium on Sunday! After the game we went to WalMart to purchase extension cords and a pumpkin. We needed both to start the decorating process for Halloween on the outside of the house:) It looks so good! We carved the pumpkin Tuesday night and put up the decorations outside:) Pictures soon to come as well as the recipe for the chili and cookies!

Next Monday I will be in the new building Chick-fil-A is moving Marketing and Operations too, Oakmont. I will be the back desk Receptionist and I am really excited about moving to that building. It's not permanent but I am so excited about being able to be familiar with both buildings:) I am so thankful and blessed to work for such a wonderful Christ Driven company. Blessed to work for a corporate company that offers devotions to their staff every Monday. Blessed to work with the amazing women on my team. Blessed to be meeting all of the wonderful people that work here. Blessed to have lunch provided everyday. Blessed that God has given the opportunity for work for a company that I believe in. I am learning so much and meeting wonderful people. Our department has our outing next Friday and I am so excited! I'll be able to do an update on that next weekend:) I'll post pictures and recipes tonight:) Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Cow Appreciation Day!

So across the United States it is Cow Appreciation Day!! This is my first one being at the home office and I must say it has been a fun day so far! I was greeted this morning by a Chick-fil-A Cow and cowbells ringing:) If you have been in a Chick-fil-A today you figured out like my friend Anna:) She sent me a wonderful picture of her Chick-fil-A:

If you do not have a cow costume you can go to

http://www.cowappreciationday.com/ and print one out:)

They are giving away prizes throughout the day to those that are participating and I love prizes!!

I have been enjoyed watching this dynamic team "cow"paigning to win best dressed today:)

They are who I voted for!! What do you think?

A tad bit overwhelmed...

I am striving to remain calm and sane over the next two months however striving and achieving are not the same thing. Chad and I have a lot going on right now and at times I feel as though my head is going to explode.

The invitations are suppose to go out in two weeks. My first shower is in two weeks. As these two things draw closer it becomes more of a reality that I will be a married woman in less than two months. Which is exciting on so many levels and yet nerve racking all at the same time.

For those of you who don't know, Chad and I are set to close on a house on March 13'th. Very exciting!! I don't have any pictures of it on this computer at work so I will post some later on this week. Chad and I are very excited about this step in our lives. We have both lived at home our entire lives are we need to do this for us. We are ready. Chad is about to be 26 and he's ready. We are both ready to have our own home. It is scary with the economy like it is however we discussed it as a couple and made our decision. No regrets! It is a beautiful home and it is one we won't have to move out of as soon as we start having children. I can't wait to post pictures:)

This Friday I will be turning 24:) Where is the time going? I can't hardly believe that it has almost been a year since Chad proposed!! For my birthday present I would like to know I have the job at Chick-fil-a. Yes, that would be a wonderful present.

I will keep you all posted on everything coming up. I hope you all have a Wonderful day!!
