I got over the hump of starting my new job at Southern Nuclear Co. as a Sr. Admin Asst. The first week was long, chaotic and a typical 'first week' where you just want to get it over with! (at least for me anyway :) On top of starting a new job, Ross' 'rents were also in town to visit. It was so much fun to have visitors, to have company to grill out with, show them around our town, etc. I didn't take many pics but here is one of Ross' and his dad:
I didn't get a full family picture but they'll be back in September along with Ross' brother and hopefully I'll be more diligent in getting pictures that time :) They were here for the full week so even though it was tiring to be starting a new job and having company, it was great to see them!
I've now finished my 3rd week of the job and I'm pretty happy with it so far! It feels good to be back working and having a schedule again. My coworkers are great (and sociable!). They are all so friendly (which I also contribute to southern hospitality :) but they are so easy to get along with and work with. My boss travels every week (and depending, my managers travel quite a bit too) so I really only see him on Mondays and Fridays, but he's great to work for as well. The girl I replaced is still working in our dept. but she was promoted. She's only 20 ft. away if I ever have questions, which is awesome but also hard to not rely on! haha Quite the opposite of what I had at Westinghouse with no one to train me! She held my position for 6 years so I have a lot to live up to!! But I feel like I'm catching on quickly (hopefully!) and will be on my way to enjoying my job even more once I know all the answers...like I once did at WEC :)
My 2nd week on the job I caught a small cold, mainly congestion, finally got over it this week and then gave it Ross as an anniversary gift :) I'm so sweet....I know! So now he's down and out. We planned on going out for dinner for our anniv. gift but we're gonna wait until he's better so he can actually taste things! I still can't believe it's been 4 years(!) and how much we've done in those years. NEVER would I have guessed we'd end up in Alabama one day, but so far, so good :) I think we're both enjoying our independence and exploring. And I'm really enjoying the apt. (more than I ever imagined) and not having to worry about fixing things. I guess that house flip really did take it out on me. And we have a pool, which is a nice little perk :)
We have a trip planned over labor day weekend to go camping with our Pgh friends, so looking forward to that is keeping me going :) My mom & dad and grandparents are visiting a week after that, and then Ross' family is back near the end of Sept., so we have a busy September month to look forward to! And hopefully many pics to share from all of that!
