Working in a financial institution

I love my job at US Bank. I have developed more as a person and career wise then I ever have with any other position I've held and I genuinly love my customers. Now that I've worked at the same location for 2 years now I know just about every customer by name and have true interest in their lives. I love chatting with them about their new babies, recent christmas adventures, and hearing all the good news they have pouring into their lives. I love how much my job has influenced Chris and my budget and learning good money managment skills from my banking expierience. I love my co-workers ( or lack there of ) and I have an amazing/understanding boss. I am honestly content and happy with my future within this great company.

The sad parts cut like a knife though...:(
Being yelled at for someone's negligence to their accounts and life troubles is no bueno. Trying to explain how you can help them and it not being enough is no bueno. Physically hurting inside and wanting to help someone so badly, but not being able to, is no bueno. Today I actually prayed someone's line of credit would go through because I wanted the bank to be able to help them so bad. You come into contact with somemany people in need while working for a bank and it really opens your eyes to how lucky you truly are. I just want to help anybody and everybody I can it just sucks that there are limitations.

Painting baby Jack's Nursery

I had 6 days off this past week and I wrote a list of everything I wanted to get done before I went back to work. One of the things on the list happened to be painting our little boys room, I was so excited to go pick out the paint and paint with my hubby :) Mine and Chris parents were busy all weekend so we ended up just painting the room ourselves, we had a lot of fun, and it didn't take too long either. I love talking with Chris about the little guy in my belly and planning our future together we sure can't wait to meet this little stud! Only 150 days to go!

Chris having some fun :)

He is so fun to be with!

Jack's clothes all hung up in his closet

A few toys, clothes and books for my little guy we love him so much!

Jaidin is turning 1!

Jaidin's 1st Birthday! My friend Amber is getting her babies first birthday pictures taken Monday and asked if I would make her a red tutu and red and white polka dot party hat. She is getting her a red and white polka dot cake to play in for the pictures and wanted everything to match :) I hope I did and ok job it's my first time making either of these! (THANKS Heather sister for walking me through how to make the tutu!)

I made a little headband to match with the extra tulle

The whole shaANG!

Randomness...

So I had a lot of things I wanted to share so I though I'd just share my thoughts through a few recent pictures :) Enjoy!

My belly just sorta, "popped" :)

Maddie is quite the love bug these days, I thinks she 'knows'

Oh Olive, you REALLY need a haircut. Your starting to look like a teddy bear.

Maddie played queen of the laundry hamper with Chole and Olive, what a character.

My silly kitty Choloe made a nest out of my husbands pj pants :) Isn't she the most beautiful kitty ever!!

My Hair GREW! And just keeps growing longer and longer soo soo soo fast!

The new best time of my day is driving up to my gordeous Christmas tree, lighting the window of my new house. What a beautiful feeling :) I Love Christmas!

I feel so grown up :)

That big one to the right has my name on it, I wonder if Chris would now if I took a peek?
