New beginnings!

What a week!

1 new employee, one AWESOME performance review, resulting in a MUCH needed raise for ME! :) and one application completely filled out for a BRAND new apartment with an AWESOME roommate!!



As you can see I have been just a little busy! It all started on Wednesday with our new employee starting...

Our previous employee left last Friday..to start off on a whole new adventure in grad school.

In an office of 4 (but usually only 3) 1 person, as you can imagine makes quite the difference...
I was definitely excited that we found a great replacement way ahead of time, and didn't really have any "in-between" without an employee!

The new girl, is different from our last, but its kinda nice for me to finally NOT be the new girl!
Its been exciting yet stressful to train her but I feel like I am hopefully doing a good job in being positive yet en forceful!

NEXT..came the awesome performance review and raise! This is something that I had been discussing with my bosses for quite some time but wasn't exactly sure when it would land.. especially with our week we've had things have been crazy busy..so you can say i was QUITE surprised when my boss called me in at 5:00pm yesterday!

and FINALLY..last night after work the roommate and I headed to finally look at the apartments that we had been eyeing from afar last weekend, because the apartments are at full occupancy they unfortunately didn't have any open ones to see..but between the roommate's diligence and some luck we were able to look at our "hopefully" NEW apartment last night!

From the moment we walked in it definitely felt right and we fell in love...the building is brand new and the apartment is quite spacious considering its just a 2 bedroom and all of the other places we had looked..

As you can see I will be quite the busy bee in the next few weeks leading up to the big move, but I couldn't be more excited!!

Happy Friday and Hope everyone has a great weekend! I've got a 15 mile run tomorrow morning..so wish me luck :)
