Charlie and Me: August 2008

It's raining... and suppose to storm all night...

I am desperately needing to make room in the guest room for the bed... It will be here this weekend (Finally) What a good time for a holiday!

M first official day off on Monday for Labor Day! This will hopefully give me chance to get the guest room up and running! I have so much to go through. But by next weekend I will have a guest room. How exciting!

I just realized I thought I was watching the news but it was just a "severe weather alert" that was playing over Seinfeld! Hum!! imagine that!

If this seems scattered that is because it is. I am wanting to be sure my husband is happy with my little updates here and there. and since he is not in NC right now It think it gives him a little peak into what is going on.

Soon enough he will be here! yeah!

So I have decided blogging isn’t for me… and I never feel like writing… but every now and then the mood strikes me and now is one of those times… So even though my updates may be few and far between I hope you enjoy a periodic update!

WE MOVED!
Charlie and I are now living in Waynesville, NC in a small community close to Maggie Valley (no we did not plan to live so close to someplace with my name in it!!) The community is adorable and the mountains are beautiful. Today I don’t think it topped 75 Degrees and I’m sure HOTlanta was a good 90 plus, even if it wasn’t that hot in Atlanta they sure didn’t have the cool breeze I did. We are well on our way to being completely moved in. We only need to finish setting up the guest room… all it needs is a good bit of organizational help and storage containers!
Charlie is finishing up a job in Atlanta so he is only home on the weekends.

This past weekend we spent some time exploring our surroundings… We went to Asheville to visit our favorite restaurant Doc Chey’s on Biltmore Ave. It was so yummy and long awaited!
Saturday started off in Cherokee at the casino we each started off with $20. After 45 minutes at the penny slots I was out and Charlie, continuing to go strong, donated another $5 to my losing streak… that lasted another 30 min. Charlie made his original 20 last 2 hours! After that we were off to go back to Waynesville to walk around the downtown area…

We really enjoyed our weekend together… I love and miss you Charlie!

I started a new job last Wednesday. I am the Office Manager for the Center for Student Involvement at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. It is about 30-40 Minutes from where we live in Waynesville. I have never worked for a University or “Educational Facility” before. So it is quite the new environment. I am administrative support for the Director of the Women’s Center, the Director of Multicultural Affairs and the Assistant Director of Greek Life. Yes I have 3 bosses! I am enjoying learning the networking that happens on a college campus and the community environment that if fosters. I am excited to see where this position will lead me!

In other news....
The first weekend in August my Mom and Sister and I went away on the “First Annual Shank Girls Getaway”! What an amazing and fun time to girl talk and share with the women in my family! I am so proud to be a part of such a special group! Love you!

Here are a couple pictures from our weekend!
