New job is going good (thank goodness!) I just got out of training a couple of days ago, but so far I actually like it. I was a little worried that it would feel like the days were going by really slow, but it's actually kind of the opposite. My days fly by, I get off early so I can spend the evenings with my hubby (when he's not working a night shift) and I'm off on the weekends to do whatever I want. LOVE it! Really, I think the schedule alone is almost enough to make me willing to deal with anything... luckily I'm not really feeling like there's much to "deal" with. I think I like it. (Yay!... New jobs can be so nerve racking)
Other than that, there's actually not a whole lot going. My mom is out of town this week, so my husband and I are watching her cat. The week before that my sister was out of town, so I watched her dog. The week before that, my aunt and uncle were out of town so we watched their dog. And the week before that, our friend Chris was out of town so we fed his fish. Lol. We're apparently the official pet-sitters recently. I'll laugh so hard if someone comes to us next week asking us to watch a turtle or something. Funny thing is though, after saying just recently that I'm not a big fan of pets, I actually fell completely in love with the dogs I've watched recently.
This is Turk, my aunt Becky and uncle Bob's dog...
Sweetie pie. He made me and my husband want to get a dog! It might be tough to find one that would be ok in our small space though :( Turk did really great here, but he's not a typical doggy. He's so calm. I swear he's like half cat or something! Anyway, we might go to the animal shelter and see if we can find one that would fit with our life... we'll see about that. Probably won't happen right away. But you know there will be a post with pictures the second that does happen!
Speaking of animals... a few Liberty Wildlife Updates. I've started volunteering there on Sundays now because of my new work schedule. Which I'm actually really happy about. I love Sunday mornings. Such a great day.
The Pelican was finally shipped to his new home :) They actually weren't able to take him to SeaWorld after all, so he ended up at Birmingham Zoo in Alabama. It's so sad he can't live in the wild anymore. Poor guy has had a tough time recently, and some really bad injuries! But he's got a good home now.
This is him, all packed up for shipping!...
At the airport (not the most typical cargo)...
His new habitat... pretty nice, I must say!...
They named him Perry :) I actually kind of love it that the animals at Liberty don't get names unless they are officially deemed unreleasable. For weeks he was just Pelican... now he's Perry. Have a happy life Perry!
Another Liberty update. Just have to share because I LOVE these pictures. Owls are so funny looking. Especially the babies.
Baby Screech Owls that came in this week...
For the record, these guys came in because the tree their momma had built a nest for them in got trimmed. This happens ALL the time. Springtime is baby bird season... not the time to trim your trees people! It displaces/injures/kills lots of babies that would totally make it otherwise (and not bother anyone one bit)
Let's see... what else... I've been wanting to share some pictures of me and my hubby, but I don't have them on my computer :( Boo... I guess I'll get those uploaded sometime soon and do a posting with that...
So for now I think that's it. My life is always the same! Barely anything new ever happens... things are always pretty calm in my world. Gotta love that :)
Actually, one more thing... this part is mostly just for Aubrey. Not sure anyone else reading will care about this... My hubby and I had to cancel our trip to Utah that was tentatively planned for right about now :( (Cannot even tell you how upset I am about that one!!!!!!!) New job and everything, I just couldn't get the time off (or get the money together) ... Yes, I was on the verge of tears when this decision was made. I am so so SO very upset!... But, we decided we're going to just push the trip back to August (Hopefully! The deciding factor is always money) We were supposed to be going for a family reunion, which won't be happening in August unfortunately, but I still want to take my husband to where I grew up... and visit my dear friend and her beautiful family!... He's way way into camping and fishing and I know he would love some of the camping spots up there. So anyway, that's our plan. Aubrey, I'll keep you posted. You'll be so preggers by then, but if I'm able to make it up there you're finding time to hang out with me anyway!! :) Hope it all works out! I miss you and want to see you so much! *Muah!*
This last week I had no internet and I was worried you were coming here and wouldn't be able to get a hold of me! I'm so glad to hear I didn't MISS you... Sad that you can't come now, but actually August could be really good cause I've been so sick... hopefully (even though I'll be HUGE), I won't be so sick anymore! :) I'm sorry you have to miss your reunion, and I'm so glad you're still gonna come sometime! Congrats on loving the new job, that is a huge thing - so few people actually enjoy their jobs! :) xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWhen are going to visit Aubrey? Because we are going to be in Logan! Can you believe it? It was kind of a sudden decision and then we were shocked his boss had a job immediately! So we've been hopping!
