Not much happenin' here

So, still not a whole lot to report on the job front, but there are a few things going on around the Davis household. On Friday, Matt and I are going to the Dirty Dirty. Yep, that's right! We're going to Atlanta! I'm *so* excited for this trip because it's the first time I'll be going back to my hometown since I've been married! I'm really looking forward to taking Matt around my old neighborhood and seeing my friends that still live there!

I'm also going to go total tourist. I left Atlanta when I was 13 or 14 so I don't remember doing many of the touristy things there (other than the World of Coke. I mean, come on? Who doesn't want to go to the World of Coke again and again?). I'm also really excited to go to the aquarium they built after I moved. So watch out fishies! I'm coming with my camera!

Speaking of cameras, here's a few of the better pictures I've taken!

 I love these duckies! I pretend they're me and Matt. I'm the one quacking at Matt and he's the one ignoring me. :)

 I spent a whole day with my sister and E. 99% of the picture I took, E had the most serious look on her face. Now I know where she gets it.

 When E was napping, Megan and I made these journals for her young women's personal progress. I'm particularly proud of this one.

 Where is a cat's favorite place to sleep? On freshly laundered blankets of course! Where else?

 I *love* this picture of E. It is so her!

 

Here's one of the few "smiling" pictures I got.

 Greg's parents are serving a mission in China. They send back cool things.

 And of course I have to end with this one. E threw her cup on the floor and Megan won't pick it up. Life is hard when you're little.

Any way, I hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them! 'm definitely going to be taking a lot more! :)

Catharsis

So I originally titled this post “ New directions part 2” because of the first piece of information. But then I got rolling and I couldn’t stop typing. This post is mainly me venting my frustrations and fears. But you know what, I learned a little something about myself and I realized that maybe you might get something out of it too. This is a long post so I’ll put my catharsis after the jump.

Ummmm..... I have some news. I can't decide if it's good or bad. I'm a little ashamed which should mean it's bad, but I'm kind of glad too which makes it kind of good. I just can't decide. I'll let you all be the judges. So here it is:

I quit my job.

Without going into all the details, let's just say that there was no way around it. I believe I left on amiable terms and I probably could get a recommendation letter from them if needed, but it wouldn't be my first choice I think.

Living life in a new direction

I've decided that this blog needs a new direction. I just can't decide which. I've toyed with the idea of creating a food blog, giving photographed, step by step instructions and an occasional "what not to do". I've also been intrigued with the idea of making this blog a mish mash of my creative outlets (eg. photography, photoshop, stamping, drawing, etc.). All of this would be in addition to the general goings on in the Davis household. What do you guys think?

P.S. - My big girl camera is on it's way! I can't wait! :)

I survived!! Again!!

I don't know what it was about this holiday season but it was killer for me. I felt like there wasn't enough hours in the day to do the things I needed to do and we had several house guests this holiday season! It was nice to be with Matt's Dad and brother for Christmas and also to have friends come to ring in the new year with us, but all in all, I'm exhausted! I'm sure most of you can relate!

On an entirely different note, I wanted to see if any one else out there is a crazy as I am!! I signed up for the Krispy Kreme challenge again this year and wanted some running buddies! I run pretty slow (I'm just now getting back into running since my surgery in November), but I don't want to run alone this time! So let me know if you want to run this crazy race together! If you haven't already signed up for it, sign up fast! Race slots fill up quickly! I'm really looking forward to this race again! :)
