40 Hours of my Week

Do you ever sit back and think about the fact that a full-time employee spends the majority of their week at their office? As I am sitting here right now, I am thinking about the fact that the people I work with and the faces I see every day here at the bank are the ones that I see more often then just about anyone else! So why do I feel like I am sometimes at my worst at work??

How many times have I had a "bad day" because of something that happened here? A LOT. Why would I want to be seen that often in a bad mood? I have decided that I am starting fresh with a new attitude about work. If I am going to have to be here for a while (which I will...especially now with a new mortgage!!) then I am going to make the best of it. I am going to put on a smiling face and no matter what my day brings I am going to try to be in a good mood!

So...here is my new "happy place" in my life... where I will be a happy co-worker, manager, and employee to Clayton Bank and Trust...

Oh Beautiful...for Spacious Skies...

Well the Fourth of July has come and gone again...and all the fun that is involved. My parents and I took the trip down to Columbia, South Carolina to see my brother and his family for the holiday. As always, the girls were tons of fun and as Callie gets older its funnier and funnier to see how the two of them interact with each other. We also got to meet the new family pet, a kitten named Despereaux, that is TERRIFIED of Callie. (However, Callie loves "Bess-bro" as she says it)

We spent Saturday going to South Carolina's state capitol, or the "State House" as they call it there, eating lunch, and shopping...then later grilling out and shooting fireworks. It was tons of fun and always a great time seeing the girls. They definitely make me realize how LONG it will be before I have kids :) But I love them tons just the same...
