Hitting the Gym...

Now that my exams are over I can now focus on getting in shape. I took the plunge and purchased a family membership at the Campus in Altoona. Decided instead of sitting on my behind watching TV and eating ice cream and cookies I could still watch TV and burn some calories at the gym. This is day 2 and I am still going strong...lol. It feels good and think it will benefit each of us. I hope to take Jackson to the pool at least once on the weekends he loves the water!

Phew!!

Well I have taken and PASSED my last exam Life, Accidnet & Health once the paper work is completed I will be in compliance to sell! I am so glad all of this is over and I can relax and enjoy the rest of my summer! It's been 12 years since I have taken an exam and I was really stressing. Thanks to everyone who has listened to me complain and the support you have given me.

New Job

Thought I would update you on my new job. After 1 month still trying to figure things out as everyone else is as this is new business transitioned from our DC office. I passed my Property & Casualty exam yippee, I was very stressed out for 2 weeks studying and felt like I was living and breathing that alone. I have my Life & Health in 9 days and need to start digging into that one, think it will be a little easier since I have background in both areas. Who knows since I will be licensed maybe someday I will become an agent!

Mother's Day

We celebrated with both of our families on Saturday and Jackson's Aunt Vicki visited from Kansas we had a great time. On Sunday we went and visited her at Burt's mom's and cousin Ali was also in town for a visit. Jackson got his 3rd hair cut, he did a great job for his Aunt. Thank you Aunt Vicki for doing such a great job.

Omaha Zoo

In April we visited the Omaha Zoo with my best college friends. It was a nice get together and the kids had lots of fun. Jackson had fun with his new friends.

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Burt and I!

Two years ago we were officially hitched. So many wonderful things have happened since then... the blessing of Jackson has forever changed our lives and we are greatful for this gift. Saturday night we went to dinner to celebrate at the new Johnny's Italian Steakhouse and it was delicious! Adrian tell Drew we loved it and we will be back!

The Rocker

I foud the perfect t-shirt for Jackson with music instruments. It fits his personality to a T. He loves dancing to music videos and think he has a crush on Carrie Underwood, he has good taste in music and women!

IN PLAY

Last weekend we went to IN PLAY with Karin and Tyler it was so much fun. Jackson was in awe with all the game sounds and lights. He attempted to play skee-ball and enjoyed trying to eat the balls at the same time. Our first stop was the carousel he enjoyed as well. He had so much fun w/Tyler and Karin!

Transition time...

My last day at Citi is tomorrow. Tonight I started to think of some of the great people I met while working there and I will truly miss each of them. I hope to remain in contact with some and wish that I could bring them to Marsh with me! Citi was a great experience and I have no doubt each of my friends will find something better until then I will be praying that they find a good match and enjoy a few weeks off without stressing as I wished I would have done when I was laid off previously! I truly beleive when one door closes another opens...

On the Upside...

Good news I accepted a new position at Marsh as a Sales Associate and officially start 4/21. I will have a little time off before then which is great and still be able to collect my 90 days pay from Citi. It's a new department at Marsh and new position so I will be able to mold it into my own. It's more money which is a bonus and the benefits are great 3 weeks vacation and 4 personal holidays and more paid holidays than Citi. Today my husband brought home a minivan he got a great deal and it looks almost new! Things are moving in the right direction. Thank you everyone for your support on my job hunt. I think this will be an excellent opportunity for me and my family!
