The first week

The first week at work went very well. It was very exhausting, but it was also very interesting and challenging. The woman who is in the current NICU social worker will be staying till this coming Friday, so I feel very fortunate to have two weeks to shadow her and really learn about the job. It is a job with many responsiblities and i am certain I will always stay busy. I am really excited about it. There are already a few parts of the job I am not too excited about, but most of it seems to fit me pretty well right now. I have met a lot of cool people. The social workers at Parkland are all a pretty unique bunch and I really like that. I have taken the DART train twice and plan to continue taking it everyday. It is very convenient and easy and saves on gas. I think this job is definitley going to keep me busy and quite exhausted, but I think that is a good thing for me right now.

Well, the wedding planning is going well. We have signed the contract with Gleneagles, so everything is set to go on that end for July 16, 2004. Many of my family members in Lebanon are really trying to come for the wedding. I am so very excited about that. I am working on the inviations right now. We bought the supplies last week and we are going to make them ourselves. I have already started on one part that really interests me, where to put the roses on the invitation. :) Anyway, all is well in this area. I think we are doing pretty well as far as the planning goes.

We saw the Incredibles last night and really liked it. I thought it was quite entertaining and very funny. I am also looking forward to thanksgiving this week. I am actually going to be working on thanksgiving, but i will be off by 4:30 or so and can head up to plano from work. I cant wait to hang with the fam and have some good food. My family from houston is coming to celebrate with us and i am going to take my cousins and sis to arlington on friday, so we can all make tree trimmings and decorate the tree together. it should be a fun time for them since they will not be decorating at their home this year due to their father's recent passing. anyway, i hope it is a good time for them. The holidays can be hard sometimes. Well, I am off.
