WEEKLY WRAP-UP

This past week has been truly an exciting time. I finished up my last work week for my 9-5 job. On Friday, I turned in my work computers, parking passes, and took my last pile of books out to the car. Driving home on Friday, it hit me briefly that this was it! I haven't thought about it much over the weekend. Since I was out of town for the week I spent a lot of down time with Jon resting and hanging out. Yesterday morning I woke up and thought to myself..."oh....my...everlovin', I quit my job!" Haha, I think everything will really hit me tomorrow morning when I officially start Maiedae full-time. I'm SO excited!!

Snapshot(s) of the Week: 1// Went to the Young House Love book signing in Atlanta with Jenny and Kate! Had so much fun!! 2// Where I was last week, working graphics production on a cruise boat. Got a chance to enjoy the view here and there and work on some exciting ideas for Maiedae. 3// Decided to treat myself and got my nails done on the boat. It's a "shellac" finish. It's supposed to last two weeks and be more gentle than gel. One week in and loving how good it still looks! 4// Sunday morning drive to go visit my family with Jon. :)
