La Vita E Bella

Small Update!

I’m sitting here at work with a small lull in my day – which hardly ever happens! It’s 3:15pm and I have exactly 2 hours until I hop in my car and brave rush hour traffic. It may not be as bad as the 405 at 5, but it comes really close!

Blasted Computer!

Well, my computer has crashed - so I'll be down until Trei and I can purchase another one (hopefully beginning of next week!) How sad am I? This means my communication with the outside world will be extremely limited!! If you are feeling the need to e-mail me, please re-direct it (for the time being) to my work address. As soon as I'm back up and running, I'll let you all know, and you can return to e-mailing me at my personal address.

I can be reached by e-mailing me here.

Have a wonderful rest of the day.

Random Musings

Two "late night" dates with the computer. I think Trei is starting to get jealous. Two nights in a row I've been stolen from bed to socialize with the keyboard. My excuse? We're paying for it, so I mine as well use it. Right?!

"Where there is love there is life."Man, I am thankful for Trei!

I Miss My Family

"The Love of a Family is Life's Greatest Blessing"

It's past my bedtime - but I can't sleep. It's a rare occasion,  but sometimes I just have a lot on my mind. Tonight it's my family. Since I've moved to Reno my life has been so full of changes. My "new" life has kept me distracted from the home I left behind. It's when things start to settle down that I begin to feel emotional about my move. For those of you who don't really know my history I will share.

Pictures!

I'm sitting here, watching American Idol - I'm really into it this time around - But I think that they actually have some good singers this season. Anyway, I just wanted to post some recent pictures. Everyone loves looking at pictures right? I know I do - anytime someone posts pictures I get really excited!!! So Enjoy, and look for another update very soon. 

I'm Baaaaack!

Hello everyone! It's 10 till 9 and I'm minutes away from going to bed. But I felt an update was in order, since I've been MIA for the last week or so. I can't help it!!! My heart tells me to take a few minutes to blog - but my mind and body scream something else. I'm ignoring my head tonight and following my heart.

Well, to start off, Trei and I have been doing Pilate's every night in the living room of our house. Gym's are just too expensive, so we decided to try and do it on our own. I can honestly say that we are doing a damn good job. Even though it's only been a full 2 weeks, I can already tell a small difference in my body. I'm slowly starting to see my body tone up, and the feeling is good. Our eating habits have taken a turn for the better (except for my occasional splurge - but I'm a girl, and I refuse to starve myself. I will have chocolate when I want it!! Even if it means I have a little cellulite on my thighs). On top of the Pilate's - Trei and I have been attempting to walk as often as possible. I even walk on my lunch breaks Tuesdays and Thursdays with the ladies from Assist2Sell. Yep, this lady is finally getting her butt in gear. It may be a slow start - but something is always better than nothing.

Miss Katy and Jessica came to visit me last weekend. They made the normally 7 hour drive in about 12 - Arriving here in Reno, Thursday night at 11:15pm. It was so good to see them. My sister is my bestest friend, and I have missed her company enormously. It was good to see Jess as well. We spent the weekend watching movies, laughing, Pilate's, walking the dogs, and just hanging around the house. I was able to take a half day at work in order to spend the majority of Friday with them. Sadly, Sunday I had to hug the girls goodbye as they drove away in Katy's cute red bug (Thanks for letting me take it to work on Friday Katy!!). I was sad. For the second time (the first being my parents) I was feeling left behind. Luckily for me, the feeling didn't last too long. Monday brought on a new week, and new adventures.

This last Wednesday was my last day at Assist2Sell. Even though I was sad to leave the friends that I have made - I was ready for my new job, and the challenges it would present. I started Countrywide Home Loans today as a production assistant to the Loan Consultant. Today alone has filled my head with knowledge that will definitely take me a few days to organize and understand. But I love learning. Especially about things that are new to me. I guess I never thought that I'd understand the mortgage industry - looks like I will, and a lot more than I ever expected. My new job will be extremely rewarding - not just financially - but mentally as well. I'm looking forward to learning new things and being able to put them into practice. I will definitely keep everyone updated on my progress. Pray that God uses me there. Not only do I want to be a shining example of His goodness, but I want to be one of the best employees they've had there. I really want to give 200% of myself - show them that I can get the job done right. Anyway....I'm really excited about the direction I'm heading - and believe that my talents will be utilized to their fullest. Something I've been waiting on for a looooong time.

Thursday I got to spend with Trei. We had so much fun together. We slept in really late, and he even ditched school so that the two of us could have some fun. We walked the dogs around the marina and bonded over conversation. I love my husband so much. My life has only improved since our wedding day, and every day I am all the more amazed at the man that I married. He is incredible. Friday, I got the pick up KRISTIN at the airport! She had spent the last week in Tahoe for a friend wedding. I got to have her from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning. I hadn't seen her since I moved in September. We had a great time. We didn't do a lot - but that was the joy in it all. We sat around and reminisced about the good old days. Something that I had longed to do. I miss her already - and of course she is welcome back anytime. Good friends really are good for the soul. This weekend my soul was blessed. I love you Kermie.

Hmmm...I think that's it. Or at least what I can think of. I just jumped form subject to subject - but it's past my bedtime and my mind is shutting off. I'll try and get to this more often. My new jobs allows internet use - but only on lunch breaks - what else will I do?!

Love you all :)

What's New

A girl weekend was exactly what the doctor had ordered. Melody and Kayli flew in on a Saturday afternoon and the weekend began with the three of us screaming in the airport. It was about time...about time I was greeted with some familiar faces - faces of two friends whom I love very, very much. Kayli had celebrated her 21st birthday the night before, so Trei and I wanted to do something extra special. That night the 5 of us made our way to Ichibans where we ate like royalty. Afterwards we headed over to buy Kayli a drink at the Nugget. We spent about an hour at th very crowded bar with a massive drink in front of us. What a fun time. The rest of the weekend was wonderful - we laughed and laughed and laughed - over what you say? Many things - but the funniest would have been when Melody.....well you'll just have to ask her - because I was sworn to secrecy. All I will say is it involved 2 drunk men and a straw - enough said. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end - so Tuesday morning at 5am, we had said our goodbyes....
