Today...

I am Lord willing going to be cleaning my room and packing in the early hours of the morning, going off to sell plants for 8 hours and then finally making a long flight to see my best friend. All in all it is looking good.

In other news, today at work I almost fainted probably from a lack of water and more excitingly got an offer from a couple asking if I would do some design work for them on the side. Which I am quite thrilled about since this is my first non church/family offer of design work. :)

I'm off to be productive. Toodles!

I am officially...

more tan than my father...and yet my farmers tan is incredibly frightening...I weep for myself.

In brighter news I manged to weed a giant bed at my house, cut a tree down and am going to design a petunia fountain in the center until we put a new tree planted in the fall. I am very excited!

Three days!

At work the other day...

I sold plants, took a ride in a police car and helped throw three people in jail...more on that later or better yet you should ask me.

Mountain Dew...

is a wonderful thing...but probably a bad plan when it is 11:00 at night. Woe is me! I am getting one wicked farmers tan and bleached out hair. I am really not sure how that's gonna all turn out hmmmmmm.

On a lighter note I am Lord willing going to an Atlanta Braves game on Thursday with my family! Woohoo!!! This will be a lovely break from work since I am working 6 out of 7 days this week. (Thank the Lord for Sundays and time to rest and worship)

In other exciting news. I now have guinea pigs for lunches so I will be cooking to my hearts content. I still miss my other 11 guinea pigs though.

I managed....

to take out several thumb nail size flies in my work room's kitchen...I was very pleased. No more evil buzzing while you try to eat in peace!

I'll be back...

Well sports fans...I'm back finally after several finals and a move. I finally have a couple minutes for an update.

Well by God's grace I survived all of my finals. I definitely didn't have to stay up almost all night several nights to make it though them. Nope, not me. It was an amazing feeling to hand in that last final and walk out free as a bird.
After throwing some clothes in a suit case I headed out to Fall Creek Falls for a couple days to relax with my parents. It poured rain the whole time but I still got to go fishing so it's all good. (Okay, so I only caught three fish and my Dad caught like 20, but that is besides the point)

After that my parents and I then went out to Cracker Barrel with my lovely adopted family. Where we played checkers, ate good food and laughed. Amusingly the waitress decided to skip me twice since she didn't seem to consider me a child or adult...just what does that make you exactly?

I decided to stay in Knoxville till Sunday so I could see all my friends from church and bid them my goodbyes before moving back home. After which I came home and had to start packing my belongings. Amber and Kaitlin were amazing and helped me get everything packed up very quickly while the rest of the family helped me carry it all out to my car. (I think they were just trying to get rid of me faster :p) Well, the dreaded time of saying goodbyes came...I actually managed to delay an hour longer than I had intended to. Once I had finally managed to peel myself away from everybody I got in my car and headed towards Kingsport. (I definitely did not cry on the way home...me cry? That would be silly) I love you Mom and Pops and all the kiddos and miss you bunches!

So here I am back in Kingsport and have already worked some 30 odd hours at my new job in a local nursery. I have been given a position in the shrub department which has been quite a challenge. I know a lot about flowers but little about shrubs so this has been great. I love all the people I work with and my mentor is super sweet and helpful.

Anyway, I will go more into detail later. Now I am off to attack my house and clean it while everyone is gone. (I am very excited! I mean it!) I love cleaning when everyone is gone. Hehe, and the large pile of all my stuff in the hall way desperately needs some unpacking. So this is me signing out!
