I'm here! My sweet, wonderful parents moved me down to Chatty last weekend. Mom got her guest bedroom all set up and decorated, while leaving the rest of the house a disaster. Thanks mom! :) I started work on Tuesday and to my surprise, have actually enjoyed it. John provided me with my own desk and basement of my own to do my cleaning in. It has been kinda exciting, yet calmly stressful... if that makes any sense. I feel like there is so much to do and so little time... but in reality, I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO! Therefore, this weekend allowed me to sleep and catch up on a little housework, which was the main factor for my stress. The "calming" part of my stress is that I am actually enjoying what I am stressed out about. No more annoying, nagging school work to slow me down, but decorating, organizing, and cleaning that needs to be done. I never thought my major would have really come in to play. Go figure. In case any of you were wondering, here is my checklist for this upcoming week....
AT WORK:
-organize and decorate desk
-finish loads and loads of laundry in basement
-work on filing cabinets
-look into getting business cards
-get my embroidered clothes back from the embroidery lady
ACTIVITIES:
-look into gym membership
-look into joining a chattanooga young professionals group
-go to bookstore and get lots and lots of books
-find recipes I am going to try
AT HOME:
-organize my bedroom and hobby room
-finish tearing down wallpaper in bathroom... YIKES!
-spend quality time with Tyson (on my way out the door today, he ran up and jumped up to bite my hand and managed to THROW himself onto the floor in front of the door like a little pouting child.. as if he didn't want me to leave. I think he is going through depression)
-pick out paint colors for kitchen, and bathrooms
-make meals to last me all week
-organize my budget... NOT going so well so far.
These are my GOALS... might I stress GOALS. My GOALS are never reached, so I am sure my GOALS for next week are going to be the exact same and then some.

Hey, Bren -- if you need any help with budgeting stuff, let me know. I'm not an expert by any means, but I'd love to help in any way I can.
Also, if you're looking into joining a young professionals group, I'd check with some churches (you could look online) and you could become involved in a group at a church like that, even if it's not the church you choose to attend. You could even join a women's Bible study that meets once a week (at a big church, there might be one just for young professionals -- who knows!) in the evenings.
I'm glad that things are going well so far!! Love you!!
Yo yo, independent girl! Thanks for updating us on your life! How has this next week gone? Hey, once you finish washing those clothes, we've got some more for you to do up here. Love, David
Um...are you ever going to update this thing? There are some of us out here who are fans and have been going through withdrawal since you've entered life in the real world.
