Yesterday

Yesterday was a very bad day. I thought my father was dying right before my eyes. I was alone with him. I had to call 911. Four police cars, mobile intensive care unit, and an ambulance later, he is okay. He is at the hospital. Thank God.  Scariest thing I've ever witnessed. Scariest day of my life thus far.

BIG BIG BIG NEWS!

Jay and I celebrated our 9th anniversary together last night. We went out for a VERY nice dinner. We laughed a lot because it was so fancy : )


Afterwards, we went back to his home (parents' right now, we're currently fixing up our house). He told me to close my eyes because he had a gift for me. When I was allowed to open them, there he was with an open ring box with my grandmother's engagement ring all shined up in it. He said, "Lesley, will you marry me?" I was in shock! I kept looking at him and then at the ring trying to make a connection, like is this really happening?! I gave him a big hug and he keeps saying, "Well? Well?" Like I had to say anything, lol. Of course I said yes.

Afterwards, we ran upstairs to tell his family. They had no idea! We then stopped over my best friend's house to show her. Oh yeah, and of course I called my family and told them too!

This is our "new" free front door! Jay's uncle salvaged it from a job he's working on just for us. Isn't it beautiful?

Well today we finally got permits so work can officially begin! How exciting! I will keep you posted as things finally happen.

***************************************************************************************

This weekend Jay and I went up to Kristine and John's. It was really nice. A good bonding time. I like that Jay and I are getting to know John better now. The house is very nice, getting more and more settled in as time goes by. Nice new furniture in her living room now. Camps made us dinner  - chicken parm, pasta, and bread. Yummy stuff. We had some ice cream and cookies for dessert. I somehow drank a whole bottle of wine! I was fine though. No consequences - thank God.  

We stayed over Saturday night and spent most of the day there on Sunday. It's funny that after all these years we are still having "sleepovers" together. I can't wait to entertain guests at our house.  

There's been lots of talk in my household about getting a new puppy. Things on this front change daily. One day we are browsing through dogs on www.petfinder.org  together, the next, my mom thinks its a bad idea. Saturday night my mom called me to say that her and my dad were picking up a long-haired chihuahua the next day. Well, the next day, my mom sends me a text that they aren't. Enough. These emotional ups and downs are too much.  

 

So that's what's happening-

Movin' On Up

Well here I am at my new desk about to start week 2 of my new job here at HBO. I have my own little office all to myself. I have done some decorating but still have a box of junk to sort through and deal with. I really want to bring in my framed "big" movie poster. It'll be a pain to lug in but so worth it!

My boss's boss is responsible for making this happen for me. He really wanted to get me out of my previous dead-end department on this floor. And he did it! He presented the off to me about 2 weeks ago out of the blue and I accepted. I am still on the same floor, but on the "cooler" end, lol. I'll be interacting with a lot of big name people, in fact I already have! There is sooo much responsibility that goes along with this position, so I have to admit, I am scared right now. I don't look forward to coming in every day right now because it is all sooo new and I'm always afraid to try something for the first time. I am working for someone very important in the company so I feel like there is no margin for error.  At least I'll be earning more money for all this anxiety I'm feeling. I cannot wait until things become second nature.

 

In house news, we are currently waiting for permits to be ready. We cannot go any further with progress until we have those. I seriously cannot wait to see walls put up and fixtures installed. Ahhh.. how lovely that will be! We just found out we are getting a beautiful front door for free!! Jay's uncle is getting it from a job he's working on. The homeowner just bought some $4000 door and was getting rid of this one. It is wood and has 2 lights (windows) in it that are sort of stained glass looking - or so I hear. I haven't seen it yet : )

 

I've been having bad allergies and asthma and such but since my trip to the company health center, I'm feeling much much better!!

Well off to another exciting work day...
