After 8.5 hours of work today...I'm pretty tired. I went in early to Beantrees today because my boss there asked if I would take her shift so that she could prepare for her son's first birthday party tomorrow. I made sure to go in early so that I could get everything done that I needed to and still make it to the office by 2 PM.

I continued to put listings on MLS and was able to do an extention and edit two listings from conditional/pending to sold!! Wow the agents get excited when they sell a house!!! I guess it must be kinda contagious because I get excited for them too.

One of our children went on a sleepover and one of our children has a friend here for the night...so I guess we're still on par for numbers in the house.

TTFN

Not too much else to write about. It was a busy day and I'm tired enough I think I'll hit the sack early tonight.

Today is our 3rd anniversary!!! I know it doesn't sound like much but, we have to start somewhere. I woke up this morning to a package sitting on my computer. I opened it up before I woke the kids and read a beautiful card that my beloved bought me. It made me cry with the nice words and just the same words that would come from his own mouth and have before. What a guy I have!!! I also got some 60% dark chocolates, some really nice hair conditioner, two Canadian horse magazines and a really cool John Deere tin box with three little drawers in it that I put my jewelry in. I bought him a toolbox that is put on top of one that is on wheels. I think the one with wheels will come for Father's day this year with the kid's help. We alsowent out for supper tonight to celebrate our anniversary and my new job.

It was also the first day that I worked my two jobs. I did three hours at Beantrees and then went straight over to Royal LePage for the next three hours. The second three hours just whizzed by as I was learning new things. I think I was able to put five listings on MLS today which is not bad considering I've never done it before. I had a realtor help me with the input of data and where it all goes. It's pretty repetitive so I think I'll catch on pretty quickly.

I haven't answered the eight line phone system yet as I think they don't want to overwhelm me the first day. While I was there, three clients walked in and of the three I knew two of them and was able to greet them by name...that ought to have impressed the boss and realtors. All in all, it was a pretty good start to a new job. I told my mom this afternoon on the phone that as a person gets older, things really change. I wasn't nearly as nervous as I used to be starting a new job and seemed to slip into the roll better than I had expected.

Anyhow, I'm going to pack it in for the night and get some much needed sleep for my busy day again tomorrow.

Well, I just got bad from an interview pertaining to the job at the Royal LePage office. I was back yesterday and asked to come to an interview so I went in at 8:45 this morning. She told me a little more of what the job entails and hired me on the spot!!! So tomorrow when I finish at Beantrees, I walk two doors down and start my office job on a part time basis for now until I'm done at Beantrees. I start full time on 9th June.

Tomorrow is also our third anniversary. Wow, where has the time gone? It has really passed by very quickly and I don't remember a time when I was happier. God is good!!

I guess I had better go now and have something to eat before I have to head off to work.

Until next time.....

Yuppers, you guessed it again. I forgot my username and password again. C'est la vie!!

Well, our floor is done...obviously and it is looking great when it there isn't blankets, pillows, empty popcorn containers, empty glasses, clothes, etc on it completely hiding it from view. I guess I better get on those pictures and show you all what it looks like.

I guess the newest thing for me is that today I am going into my job and giving my two weeks notice. I have decided that my time at Beantrees Coffee House and Eatery is finished. I have also dropped a resume off at the Royal LePage office two doors down from Beantrees to apply for a receptionist position. Whether or not I get the Royal LePage job is irrelevant to my quitting Beantrees...it's just time. I guess we'll see if I get the position after an interview sometime this week. If I do, good and if not, good either way it's just something different.

All the kids are registered for camp this year and we are planning to go off to family camp again too. It's always lots of fun and we get to catch up with people we only see once a year while there. It's always good to get a boost of God while we're there too.

Well, until next time and hopefully with pictures...
