Coming up for air
Yeah, it appears that the month has gone by too quickly, but then again grad school will do that when all has gone crazy. SO, for starters.
I got a new job. I'm now serving at the Texas Road house. The store I'm working was built from the ground, so our grand opening is today, and I'm opening it! Here's hoping that it all works out the way it should. I'm hoping for good tips and quick tables. Then, I can settle up on my finances more comfortably. This has been an ugly month in the world of money...
Last week was very intense. I had Roadhouse training every night of the week and four exams. The exams went well, and I'm rocking the roadhouse. I could've done better on my anatomy, but that isn't anyhting new. I'm only hoping to get what I need to pass the course. I'm nervous for it, but here's hoping that I can continue to bust into it and do good.
I think it's a good sign when on the practice night of serving some of the guests ask you which store I transferred from. That made me smile. I had a blast working since we do line dancing and I can just be high energy and bouncy. As long as I can keep up with the pace of the place and get my menu down pat, I'll be good to go. I'm still shaky on a few items, but it'll get better as time goes by.
It's been a good month for my man and I. I'm a huge fan of how we just relax and let things roll. We can laugh at ourselves and life, and it makes me feel even better. He's a miracle in my life, and I'm glad he and I can offer the support when we need it. He planned a couple of awesome concerts for December, and I'll be meeting his extended family at Thanksgiving this Thurs. It's great how he sees what I feel and shrugs it off as "you just have to listen to what you're saying. No offense, but you aren't hard to figure out." I like it because we talk. Sure we have our random fluff conversations, but when we're together, we can get into some really good ones about life too. I finally faced myself and told him how I feel. I know that he knew it long before I said anything, but I know how he feels too. The feelings are the same, and it definately puts me in a "stupid-grinny" mood.
Hey! My younger sister is not engaged! Finally. Okay, Harlan and Cate have been dating for six years. They're highschool sweethearts and they make it work. I've been teasing Harlan about it, saying "You are already seen as my brother-in-law, so when are you going to ask her to marry you?" But they have the patience to wait for the right time. I admire that about them. I'm so very happy about it. It's kinda funny for me though. Heather got engaged in September, she's running away to Hawaii next October to get married, and now Cate's engaged too! Their wedding will be sometime in 2008. Nonetheless, it's great to see, and I'm in no major rush myself. Things are riding out gloriously, and it's pretty fun just seeing how things progress. I've found who I want, now we will just continue to work it out and wait for the right time ourselves.
More later. Time to run quickly to class.
