what i was thinking about in the shower

ok. so 2 things: 1. obama 2. girls at work

1. i still don't like obama. i think he speaks in a condescending manner... as if we don't get what he is talking about. i can't stand it.

2. ok... so you probably know i work for a catering company. it is a well-known, family-owned company that mostly does high-end hill country events... there are 3 sales girls and me... i help out around the office... whether that means meeting a client for them or answering the phones at the office. so anyway... the girls at work really rub me the wrong way sometimes. there is one girl who i will call L... L made a comment today that i really didn't like....

she says to another sales girl "do your friends think you have a real job... cause i have to explain to my friends that i have a hard job and it's not just planning parties, but that it's real and it's so hard... blah blah blah"

i really wanted to stand up and say... YOU IDIOT! THIS ISN'T REAL WORK... i mean... yes they come to work at 9am (more like they stole in at 9:30) and stay till 5:00pm (sometimes)... and talk to clients and sit at their computer and plan a menu. heaven forbid... they have to get out of their chairs to meet a client at an event facility (this happens maybe 2 times a week). the kitchen will bring breakfast and lunch to their desk and pick up after their mess. they don't have to take out the trash or file their own files.... its all done for them. i'm sorry but it's comments like those that make me want not want to be an event planner.

my mom is the hardest working person i know.... i look up to my mom in many ways. i don't want an easy job. i want to have a challenging job. i want to be able to have accomplishments at the end of my day.

catch up

so i obviously haven't written in a while... but i'll try and catch everyone up...

Chris and I went to college station this weekend.... it was a lot of fun. we had a really nice weekend. a couple of notes:
-it was kinda sad/scary... scary that i didn't have that security of not being in the real world yet... and sad b/c of the memories i have - we had some good times there.
- they are building so much... i won't recognize the place in a year with as much construction as their doing
- i really hope my kids go their some day
- the people are just so nice
- while it's full of memories... it's sadly not the same... knowing all the people are gone is sad.
- i miss the food. mostly, wings n more.
- every time i get chick fil a... i think of the commons

There is definitely a lot of people getting married this year!! Holy moly... more and more every day! I'm so excited for them all... It's just proof that everyone is growing up so quickly... please no babies yet... i'm not sure my brain can soak that up quiet yet. i mean we were sitting around ashley and holly's room like 4 years ago taking turns telling our "story"... and now everyone is all grown up! (I really am very happy for you Jessica... it just scares me to see everyone growing up *tear*) :o)

That's all I can conjure up right now... hope everyone has a great week!!!

Rachel's Wedding

Rachel & Brian's Wedding was a blast! She looked beautiful and everything went as planned :o) I couldn't be happier for her...

God is good, isn't he.

keeping up

i just want to say that i LOVE these silly blogs. i get to read about everyone and keep up with y'all.... it's great! i love hearing how everyone's day is going and how things are going. can you believe... none of the Briggs girls live in the same city anymore! i figured... but i didn't know we would be so separated so soon.

love you girls

life

ok. i know. so far i have not been a very good blogger.... but here i go anyway

*obama is now our president.... it should be interesting, other than that i'll keep my comments to myself.

*rachel yeats is getting married this weekend... and i'm in the wedding. i'm kind of stressing out because i have a lot to do to get ready.

*my friend Evan Tupa and I (with Patrick (colleen's brother) as "contract help") are starting our own website building business... we have not come up with a name yet... but we have done one website and in the middle of our 2nd and 3rd.... i'm pretty excited. it won't make us rich but maybe bring in a little extra cash, if not at least keep up busy.

*i feel like people are growing up so fast and things just seem to be passing by... and the ride is too fast for people to even notice....

*i am never alone... and when i do find myself alone... i make myself so busy, that i don't even notice. i wonder what i would think about and how i would feel about my life...

Hello World

holy moly... colleen emailed me to say that i was the only loser without a blog! i had no idea... but it was so nice to read up on everyone. with everyone growing up and spreading around to different cities... i thought it was a nice idea that everyone could still keep up with eachother.

so i guess this is my first post and here are some updates:

spent my first christmas with chris - amazing... 17 people together christmas morning

working at a catering/special event mgmt company in San Antonio - love it

i love my puppies - they are doing very well... jager is almost 3!

living in an apt... looking for a house soon

hopefully going to grad school in the fall

i miss everyone...
