Another day closer to being Home for the Holidays! I'm really excited, can you tell? ;)

So, not much has happened here today. I've been to work and then come home and made dinner. Rather a boring day.

On Saturday we're supposed to be going with Rich's Mum down to Sheffield to the new Hobbycraft store that's opened. I can't wait!!! Its going to be a fantastic day! Then we're out in the evening with some friends of ours for a meal. All in all a pretty good weekend planned.

Hope you're all having a wonderful Thursday!

Woo-hoo!! Its official now! My brother is going home for Christmas as well!! Well, at least he'll be arriving on the 27th of December. So not there for Christmas day, but there for the Christmas period!

I'm so excited! Its only 50 days after today until we fly to the US! I've started making my Christmas card list and emailing my online friends to get their addresses. If I've missed anyone, please don't take offense.....it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you. It just means I'm a ditz and missed emailing you. If you want to exchange Christmas cards with me, email me with your address and I'll send you an email back with mine!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!

Btw, I'm getting a bit tired of this blogskin and I really miss the country graphics for each season (also, it doesn't really seem to have an affect on how often I blog like I thought it would), so I'm thinking after Halloween (its too late to change it now)I might go back to country season graphics for my blog. What do you think?

Hello folks! Sorry about being MIA lately. There's been an awful lot going on in my life lately and I haven't really had a chance to be online much.

I've got plenty of news though!

Well, despite my love of working in Customer Services at Morrison's, they are still moving. It would take me about 2 hours to get there and 2 hours to get back from where they're moving to (Bradford) so I decided I needed to look for a job elsewhere.

Thus came my discovery of a job advert for a PA (Personal Assitant)/Secretary for a financial firm. So I applied, three days later had an interview, four days after that was offered the job! I accepted and I've been there for just over 3 weeks now. I love it! Its quite a small firm and the people are lovely. Very friendly atmosphere. I'm extremely happy with it!

In other news, Rich and I have booked a flight to the US for Christmas and New Year! We fly out on the 16th of December with an overnight stop in Amsterdam, arriving in the US on the 17th of December. We fly back on the 4th of January. So nearly 3 weeks in the US! I can't wait. Only 54 days after today! Hooray!

Also, as a lot of you know, my mom has been living and working in Florida ever since I moved to the UK 2 years ago. She's been quite unhappy there, as she doesn't know many people and really misses home. Well, yesterday she got some fantastic news. She's being transferred back home! She's to start work at the new store on November 13th! This also means that Rich and I won't have to divide our holiday time between Florida and Georgia this time. We can just stay in Georgia and get to spend plenty of time with my mom and dad rather than part of the time with one and the rest with the other.

I'm just not sure yet if my brother, who lives with my mom in Florida, will be moving back to Georgia or not. He really likes it there and its been a new start for him. So I don't know what he'll decide to do. He's a grown man of 38 though, so I guess he can make his own decisions!

Also found out that my oldest brother (40) and his family might be home for Christmas as well! If he gets to come home, it'll be the first time my whole family has been together for Christmas in over 10 years! It'll also be the first time all 4 of us kids have been together since my high school graduation in 1997. So, fingers crossed that Mike will get to go home for Christmas as well!

Lots to look forward to! Hope everyone is doing well! Going to try to visit a few blogs now. Toodles!
