been a while

I started my new job on March 9th. Although I was excited to have at least a week or two off to get some stuff done, it was good that i got hired so quickly since i have to be employed for 30 days before i can get a home loan.

On that friday, my mom took me and my sister to the spa to celebrate my birthday and we all got 80 minute massages (which were amazing) and facials. My mom is the best!

I am now an admistrative assistant at UNJURY Protein. If you are intersted, you can read about UNJURY here. Tuesday was my birthay and my new coworkers got me flowers and a gift card and sang happy birthday to me. It was a very nice surprise. I definitely think I am going to like it there!

My mom also got me a new camera for my birthday, so i plan on learning to use it and hoping to get into some photography....we will see how that goes.

Aside from my new job, the most exiciting thing going on in my life right now is that i have found the house! my real estate agent got a foreclosure in potomac station over in leesburg that is awesome! it has 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath. there is a big deck off the kitchen and a fenced in backyard! im just waiting for the bank to give us a listing price so that i can put in an offer. hopefully i will be a first time homeowner by may 1st!





Chasing Hope Sport Bounce Fundraiser

Our first fundraiser was a huge success!

The first thing that i need to do is thank jenn sharman, the best boss ever, for allowing us to use Sportbounce this evening. this wouldnt have been possible without her and SportBounce!

Secondly, I need to thank my team for helping to spread the word, especially my mom, who has recenly become so excited about Chasing Hope and relay for life since she has raised over $800 in only 3 days!

Lastly, thank you to everyone who came out and got their bounce on!



Chasing Hope raised $530!!!



when it rains, it pours...

Since november, my boyfriend left me, i moved back home, i put my cats in foster care, i created a relay for life team, i totaled my car, i bought a new car, and to top it off, i have been laid off for the first time in my life!

I can definitely say that whatever doesnt kill you makes you stronger, but im really hoping that nothing else insane happens any time soon. thankfully, i started my new job today at UNJURY where i am making significantly more money than i was making at chenega and still getting employer paid benefits. i am really starting to believe that everything really does happen for a reason.

Now i know you are probably thinking, what the hell is UNJURY? well, its a medical protein used mostly by people who have gone through some sort of bariatric surgery, either lapband or gastric bypass. it was originally intended to be used by wound patients in effort to help encourage cell growth. it is also currently used for cancer patients that are going through treatment and to aid in weightloss.

At first i thought it was a total scam, but after my first day, it is obvious that this is a great business that makes good money. everyone that works there is super nice and young! im very excited about this new opportunity!
