February Photo A Day Challenge- Days 22-29

Well, I guess it is time to wrap up the month. February Photo A Day Challenge was fun and a lot tougher than I thought it would be. With my new job and finishing a 2nd part time job, life has been a little upside down here. But I have had a BLAST playing with these photos. I hope to be able to play along with another month.

My little black girly heels

The moon I was hoping I could show you

Fill in the Blank Friday


1. The love of my life is Troy .
2. Falling in love an all in or nothing thing. I used to think I could come and go outta love. True love means giving all of myself and taking all of Troy- for good and bad.
3. Marriage is so much more than I ever imagined. So glad I finally gave up being hard headed and let Troy back in my life to be my one and only.
4. The longest relationship I've ever had was 4 years.
5. The key to a good relationship is forgiveness, trust and humor.
6. I feel loved when someone “reads my mind” and gives a gentle loving unexpected hug or smile to me when I need it most.
7. My favorite quote about love is “Love doesn’t make the world go ’round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”― F.P. Jones.

What a month!

As most of you know I have been unemployed since December (2nd time in 12 months). I have been applying to every posting that fits withing my ability, salary range, area and what I want to do.

While at my last job (in residential construction), I was introduced to Community Association Institute. I jumped on a committee, got to know the Executive Director. I will not mention her by name, but she is AWESOME. Felt like she took on my unemployment cause and she sent me leads. She did send me one lead that she said I would be perfect for, I had/have doubts. But it was within my abilities, industry, etc.

I applied to said company. Interviewed several times (even via video, they are based in DC). I got the job offer on Monday, Jan 30th and was on a plane for my first day on Feb 6th.

I went to DC for training and orientation for said company. WOW-O-- first class company I signed on with! I still don't want to mention their name, but my managers gave me awesome information and leads and have sent me back to Texas to take it by storm. I am now a Regional Purchasing Manger with the territory of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. If you have the products that I need, you will be hearing from me shortly!

Thank you new company for giving me the opportunity to be part of your first class team!
