Blah.

My last day at BMG is Aug 15th...so great except I don't have another job lined up yet. That's no good, but I am working on it! We have the busiest week ever ahead of us since Destined08 is this Friday! We are supposed to have 300+ people there so we are really excited! Cliff has been super busy the last few weeks so I will be happy when it's over so that my husband will actually come home sometime before 11 every night! haha...he just wants everything to be perfect so I understand! Ryan Loyd will be here Thursday afternoon until Monday and I know Cliff is really looking foward to him being here! Sunday is the big kick off for our 1 service and I cannot wait for that! That is basically everything....I know really boring haha! Ttyl!

Trophy Wife...

I decided yesterday I just want to be a trophy wife...haha you know those wives that stay at home all day making sure not a speck of dust enters their house all the while looking fabulous! No work or school just homemaking! lol too bad I live in the real world! This week has been rediculous! The week before last I made a mistake at work...It was a pretty big mistake, but it was caught before anything major happened! Well Monday my boss called me into her office and was talking to me about the mistake and I thought she was going to give me a warning (since this was the 1st big mistake I have ever made) but no, she was like if we weren't going to be short staffed the next three weeks with Tina gone and you being the only other one who really knows how to do claims, I would be letting you go! I was just like wow...I mean she was really nice and wasn't rude but it's still so stupid! I mean she should have just said we would fire you but we are going to use you instead! She was all like we don't want to fire you, but we realize that we aren't your first priority when you have school and church work also going on. Duh! Sorry I am not going to quit school and youth work to be your full time secretary! She told me I had until Thursday to decide wheather I want to be "committed" to them. I asked what that meant and she was like that we can put way more responsibility on you and you will not be making mistakes and you won't be able to take off so much time for church stuff. Well first let's just clarify that I have made no mistakes since I was first learning my job! I made some then but of course I would I didn't know what I was doing at first! And second I make 7.25 an hour (I used to make 7 but after I begged for a raise in may they had told me I was getting in January) so NO, I am sorry you cannot put anymore responsibility on me. I already do all the filing in the entire office (there are 11 ppl pulling files everyday all day), I am first on the phones, I sort the claims, print the claims, write the checks for the claims, mail it all out (Tina does this too but I am her secretary so I get the grunt work) So needless to say, I have applied for 3 other jobs since Monday. 2 retail jobs and 1 with the city of meridian to be a teacher's assisstant! I am praying so hard that I get the teacher's assisstant job but either of the other 2 will be fine just to get me out of here! It's been so akward ever since because I found out that everyone in the office thought that Denise was firing me Monday, not giving me a second chance. You should've seen the confused looks when I came in on Tuesday! It's just really frustrating how gossipy they all are.
So on a better note Holly and her brother Keith came to see us on Thursday night and stayed until Sunday morning! We had so much fun! Keith has a love interest in Jackson MS which is only an hour away from us so we didn't see much of him, and Cliff was so so so busy at the church so we didn't see much of him haha pretty much me and Holly did our thing the whole time! On Saturday Holly and I went to New Orleans for the day and we had a blast! It was kinda rainy for about an hour but other than that it was perfect! Holly had never been there before so it was cool. I loved having her here even if just for a few days! And I think Cliff had fun getting to talk "student pastor talk" with Keith since they are both Student Pastors haha. We also found the tiniest black kitten ever and we brought him home to live with us (as an outdoor cat) and he stayed for 4 days then he ran away!!! I was so sad becauuse he had a hurt paw and I has neosporen and band-aid on it haha oh well...I tried! He also has a flea collar so that should help him out! He was so sweet though...he wasn't scared of people at all and he loved to be held and cuddled which is weird for a stray cat! I hope he comes back! Well I guess that is about everything! Cliff and I are going to Impact conference in Columbia MS tomorrow and Wayne Francis is preaching Student Impact and we are so excited! Cliff is MCing so he gets to introduce Wayne and that will be funny...he's busting out old school memories from IBC haha ....Another part of being a "Trophy Wife" I don't ever have to ask off for anything and we coulda been up at Impact all week like we really wanted! haha oh well...maybe when I'm 60!!

Fun Week!

So this week has been pretty boring! I have been working from 8-3 yesterday and today then tomorrow and thursday I am back to the usual 11-5! Holly and her brother Keith will be here Thursday!!!!! I am so excited I can't wait! We are hanging out Friday in Meridian then Saturday we are driving to Baton Rouge Louisiana to see Tiffany Cook! She moved there a few months ago and since she is Holly's cousin and my friend we really want to go see her! Holly and Keith are staying with us in our apartment so that will be interesting...lol we are gonna be squished but I think it will be a ton of fun!
Cliff has been super busy this week working at the church. We got our light package in that we ordered for Destined 08'! The church is helping the youth pay for it so we got a really nice one! Destined is a little youth conference that Cliff started when he was interning her. We have it every other year when there isn't youth congress so the kids can have a big fun event before school starts. We have been telling everyone about it and inviting every person we see so hopefully there will be a lot of people! Last time we had around 250 people and this time we are hoping to have between 300-350! Ryan Loyd is our speaker and we are flying him in from Orlando and I think he will do a great job! Cliff is really excited to have him come in since they haven't got to hang out in a long time! Another exciting thing going on at our church is that we are going to one service on Sundays. Choir will meet at 8:30am and then we will have Sunday school at 10 and main service at 11 as usual! We didn't just want to cancel church on Sunday night we wanted to still be doing something so Cliff and Lynette got together and thought of themes for each week of the month. One thing we did want to do was relieve some of our members who live 45 min away (which we have a lot) of the gas prices. Cliff worked really hard and came up with a theme for our church as a whole. The theme is "Beyond." and he made a really cool card to hand out to everyone with our new schedule and he made everything look really awesome! He did a great job...although sometimes I think he loves his MacBook more than he loves me, he has gotten pretty awesome at using it! I'll post a pic of the postcard he made when I can get it in a jpg format for some reason it won't let me upload pdf!

Busy, Busy!

So I finally have time to sit here and write haha I have been so busy ever since we got home on Saturday! I had a huge load at work when I got back but I just got all that caught up finally! Last night our choir went to MS campmeeting to sing which was really cool. Campmeeting is the exact same thing as Family Camp in Indiana except it runs from Sunday night until the next Friday night! They make a much bigger deal out of it! EVERYONE comes to campmeeting! We got back last night around 1 and I didn't get to sleep until almost 2 and I had to get up at 6:30 to be at work by 8 which didn't happen lol I got to work at 8 but I didn't get up until 10 after 7! Needless to say I was running around like crazy! We are going back up tomorrow for the "Youth Deal" and again on Friday because Cliff has to do the Ice Breaker game on Fri and they have a big youth night after the Youth Deal service! That will be yet another long night! haha I guess I should get used to it being in youth ministry and all!
We had so much fun while we were in Indiana! I was so glad we got to see all our friends and family...it's so sad we won't be back in Indiana until Christmas! Elvis also had the time of his life doing whatever he wanted at my parents house and playing with Floyd at Cliff parent's house! I felt bad for Floyd though because Elvis kept biting his neck and making him bleed! haha Elvis is pretty vicious! The only bad thing that happened in Indiana was that I broke my camera!! Now we don't have a camera because Cliff has no clue where his is. It's pretty horrible considering I take about a million pics everywhere I go! Well that is about it on the update so I better get back to work! ugh.... haha

OH! I almost forgot!! Holly and John got engaged on the 4th!!!!!! So Exciting!! So me and Cliff will be heading to New York sometime in the Spring for the most incredible wedding ever! I know this for a fact because I have never met more stylish or creative people than Holly and her momma Shelley! We are gonna stay 3 or 4 days after the wedding to make a Vacation out of it since we have both never been to NYC and we have been wanting to go forever! I can't wait!!!
