BIG NEW!!! And NO, it's not a baby. ;)

This has been like the best week ever! Last week, I sent in a resume to a company here in Omaha for a position. They called me and interviewed me and gave me the job!! So this Monday, I quit the receptionist position I am at right now. I have never quit a job that I had been wanting to leave forever and felt so great about it. So this whole week has gone by fast and I'm so looking forward to starting my new job!!! It made my Fourth of July weekend great.

The 4th was fun. We went to our friend Heather and Jay's house. I have to say, because I grew up in a state that doesn't allow fireworks to go off or sold around, I'm just not used to it. I love the big fat fireworks that the city puts on, but here in NE, it's a different story. Omaha has laws about it, but the towns around are allowed to let fireworks off and sold. So EVERYONE has them and the cul de sacs around here get together and let out shows for the neighborhoods. I HATE IT. I can't STAND THEM. I was ready to go after an hour of them going off. The noise, the smell, I know I sound like a 100 year old but it's so annoying. The 4th was once a fave of mine. Back home in Redwood City, they would have the parade and my family would go and watch and then BBQ and then go to the port of RWC and watch the show at night. That's the wonderful memories I have and love. And now I feel like I can't have that and my future kids won't have that. :( Maybe I'll have to plan my trips to CA around that holiday now. I left my pics at home, sorry.
