Happy Halloween!!!! That means it is only 7 days until my birthday!

Stacy and Travis’ pumpkins were smashed last night. It made me SO angry when I realized they were theirs. I made me even more upset that I was RIGHT there and I never heard them.

Drama story time: After I took Travis to his open house on Tuesday, I decided to just get some Keith’s Hamburger Station to take home. I checked my bank account yesterday morning and my checking account was down to like $40 and then I noticed $100 had been drafted out of my savings account which it automatically does even if my account gets down around $10! When I checked the history in my account, the brilliant cashier at Keith’s had charged my debit card THREE times! Twice for the total of my meal, $26.38 and once for $226.38. I nearly had a cow. I called down there and Keith, the owner, checked his receipts and saw the error. He asked me to come by and he would just give me cash for it. So I went by and one of his brilliant workers just gave me my cash and told me to “sign the paper bag” so they had proof I came to pick it up. The owner didn’t even come talk to me! At least he was honest about it...


Every year I go order some Halloween cookies from a place here called Fat Jack’s for Dewayne to take to work for the guys. This year when I went to order them, the owner told me they stopped taking orders several weeks ago because they had so many! So, I made my special peanut butter cup cookies this year for him to take. I made at least 130 of them and made regular peanut butter cookies with the left over dough.


Just thought this was neat to share. We took this picture after we had our safety lunch and they handed out our jackets. Small and blurry...but its the best I could do!

We will be getting Cameron hats that have “365” on the back of them. I am going to take my jacket back sometime and have Mitchell changed to McGhee. Teresa ordered my name plate for my office and it says Larriat McGhee on it.

*Wedding updates*
MY WEDDING DRESS FINALLY ARRIVED!!!!!!!! I hope to try it on today at lunch!

We are taking engagement pictures on Sunday. I am getting extensions put in my hair tomorrow. If I like them, we will take them out and save them to reuse for bridal portraits and the wedding.


120 days!!!

Couch...

I have been meaning to get this posted... and a blogger that searched for a photo of a "jigsaw couch" reminded me to get it done. We got this at Furniture Row. It comes in "sand" like ours and "chocolate" like the pillows on it.

So here is the picture of our new couch. We NEVER separate it! It is so awesome when Travis and Sierra come over. They have plenty of room to roll around on it and cuddle for movies.

Things are still the same... busy busy.

Attention bridesmaids: your dresses have been ordered. They should be delivered in about 12 weeks.


4 months and 1 day from now... Dewayne and I will be married!!! AHHHH!!! It is all going by so quickly! Dewayne has decided we are taking a cruise for our honeymoon. He wants to do a 7 day Carnival Cruise. He took a five day for his senior trip in high school and loved it. I agree as long as we get to go scuba diving and swim with the dolphins.


November will be over before any of us know it! We have to get engagement pictures done this month, my birthday, my dress will be here the 12th, Dewayne's birthday, then Thanksgiving and Mark will get to come home!


Now I don't want to work for the rest of the day... I just want to type! But I have reports due to my boss in the morning and not all of my sales guys have turned in their stuff so I have to go harass them!

These days...

Where, oh where do I begin? I haven’t blogged in more than a month but it seems like a year!
I have so much to say I just don’t know where to start or stop so I apologize in advance if this is confusing and/or all over the place!

I absolutely love my new job. My boss is unbelievably awesome. I planned my first party for the upcoming Oil Show. It is Wednesday night at the Country Club. I have spent so much money on this party, it’s insane! I will definitely have to post some pictures! Dewayne and I get to go but there are very few people in the office that are invited. I’m important around here! My office is even in the “executive wing”. I’m smack dab between Dave and Pat… the head honcho’s around here!

I have been staying with Stacy while Mark is gone. I like sleeping with Sierra. She is a cuddler. It’s fun though. Dewayne has been a big help for Stacy, too. He loves to do yard work and stuff so he doesn’t mind doing all the dirty work! He is such a sweetheart!

The wedding is coming along great! I found a photographer (finally)!! I hope to go take our engagement pictures out at Noel Plaza this weekend. I’m waiting on the lady to call me back to confirm a time. I will call and order bridesmaid dresses today. That has been a bunch of drama but we found one! I finally feel like things are all coming together nicely. 131 days to go!

Okay… back to work for me. I am busy these days and I love it!
