As most everyone has learned from either word of mouth and/or facebook, I have been asked to come on at Genoa Bank as a full-time employee!!! I about died when they asked me! I, of course, accepted!!! Although with me getting this position we are losing a dear fellow employee to another job. Melanie accepted a job elsewhere, therefore she is choosing her own path to better herself, which I couldn't be happier for her! It just sucks that she's leaving! In the few months that I've been at the bank, I have gained a great friendship with her. I am so glad I got the opportunity to meet her!
Things are going to be hard the next couple of weeks, but I think I' prepared for it. I've had to learn a lot of new things to do my "new" job. I like to think I have it all figured out, but there are things that just don't come up during training. Barb is leaving out of town Thursday night till Monday night, therefore I'm on my own Friday and Monday and to be honest, it scares the shit out of me! I have no one else to ask with both Melanie and Barb not there. At least when one was gone before, the other one was there to help me. I am probably stressing over nothing, but just sitting here thinking about it getting me all worried. I just got to keep telling myself that I have it all under control and everything will be fine in the end. I can do everything with Barb there, I can handle it while she's gone too!!!
With all this coming my way, this also means that I will have health insurance. And GREAT health insurance at that! I don't have to pay for it at all. The bank pays for all your insurance premiums. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The only think that sucks is that when trying to add family on to the insurance. It gets rather pricey when trying to do that. But Daniel and I have been thinking and looking at the prices, and we've decided that I, of course, will take my insurance through the bank and himself, Lexi and any future children will be on his insurance. So everything works out in the end.
I feel that I'm rambling on and none of this is making sense and that I should just stop with that, but there is much, much more!!! I apologize if it doesn't make any sense at all!!!
Daniel and I got Christian last Monday for the ENTIRE day!!! It was wonderful seeing my Boog for day!!! He has gotten so big and is learning so much. I feel so bad that Eric has to miss his beautiful baby boy grow up! He will be so happy to see him come January 7th and see what he has learned in the pass few months he's been gone! He is going to be one proud Papa!!! As for now, we have a proud Uncle Daniel/Godfather!!! Daniel could not be happier with Christian around. He just loves being his Godfather! And I'm pretty sure Christian likes hanging out with his Uncle Daniel too!!!
They sure do love each other!!!
We took Christian to see Santa that same night at Bass Pro. For anyone that has kids and hasn't gotten a picture with Santa yet, Bass Pro is the place to go. Granted we waited a little longer than we wanted, but it was sooo worth it!!! I mean hell, it is for a free picture with Santa. What adult doesn't enjoy something free??? I know I do! They have quite the nice set up too. I was rather impressed with it all and will definitely look into doing it with Lexi and any children Daniel and I have in the future! Since we were taking Christian to see Santa, we asked Jessica if her and Ishy would like to come along too!! Ishy had already seen Santa the week before, but Jessica agreed to come so we could get a picture of the two of them together! They got along pretty well, although I think Ishy was quite jealous that Auntie Stina was paying attention to another little boy!! Don't worry Ishy! I still love you too!!!

I like to think that for an 8 month old and a 13 1/2 month old, they did really well. And what I mean by that, is there was no crying, beard pulling, squirming or biting!!! Although neither one of them smiled, I think the picture turned out good! Boy, do I love these boys!!!
Other than that, nothing much has been going on. We are all ready for Christmas, but are just hoping that we Lexi and are able to enjoy Christmas with her! She doesn't get to come out too much which just makes me so sad, but there is absolutely nothing Daniel nor I can do about it. Trust me, if there was, we would have already taken the steps to do so!
As I run out of things to say, I just thought that I would let Sarah know (Jessica already knows lol), I took my last birth control pill on Saturday 12/11/10. SOOOOOO.....be on the lookout for any niece/nephew news coming your way = ) Not everyone knows so keep it on the DL for a while. But trust me, you will be one of the first to know, if/when the time comes!!!
Till next time...
