My work news

Well, I guess I can tell you all my (kind of ) exciting work news...

So, I'm kind of getting a promotion... One of the lady's in Accounts payable is leaving and guess who's getting her job? Me, of course! I'm going to be doing both my original job in Contracts and the Accounts Payable job. Wow! Two jobs at once! My boss in the contracts department figured that since I wasn't terribly busy all the time, I could handle taking on the extra responsibility in accounts. It's not anything too difficult - just invoices and ledgers, that kind of thing. But, it's a fantastic opportunity to learn more and to expand my resume, plus I'll most likely get a pay increase, which is always nice! Go me!!

A grown-up bedroom

I'm so excited - Jeremy and I finally have a real, grown-up bedroom! Yay! No more plain old boring box-set! Woo! We bought a whole bedroom set last weekend and had it delivered yesterday. It was actually quite a steal - we bought the floor stock, which meant that we could get a bed, dresser, mirror, nightstand and a stool for the foot of the bed, all for about the price of just a regular bed. Sure, the dresser has a few scratches on top, but it's nothing too noticeable and, for the price we paid, we sure can live with it! Here are some pictures...

Notice the beautiful linens, courtesy of mum and dad. Thanks a million - they are gorgeous!

Our crazy Brissy hiding under the bed. It's her favorite spot, probably because Adelaide is too big to get under!

Yesterday Jeremy and I went to his work picnic. It was hot as heck and ridiculously humid outside, but his work had booked a pavillion at Burke Lake Park, so at least we were out of the sun. They had it catered by a delicious Mexican semi-fast-food place, which was yummy! It was nice to finally meet some of Jeremy's workmates, although I felt a little out of place - we were the only ones without kids!! Maybe we should work on that...(just kidding mum! You'll have to wait a few more years yet)

Last night we went out for dinner and drinks in DC with some friends. We went to this amazing Mexican restaurant called Lauriol Plaza. The restaurant is in this huuuuuge warehouse type building, and there was still a line out the door of people waiting to put their names on the list for a table! It was crazy busy. But the food was delicious, and the margaritas were pretty good. We went out to a bar afterwards, and I ended up having a few too many drinks. Oh well. It was a fun night.

And that's about it. Today it's been raining lightly all day (sorry guys, I don't mean to rub it in!), and we just been laying around recovering from last night. Oh, I may have some potentially exciting work news to tell everyone, but you'll have to wait a couple more days. So keep checking back in!
