This week included a trip to the dentist that left me swollen and sore for days (I still can't open my mouth fully-- I am able to chew again!), a day long seminar that was tedious and disappointing, a trip to Pittsburgh to attend a Marcellus Shale Trade Show, and then we wrapped the week up with an appointment to an OBGYN who seemed annoyed that I was wasting his time by not being a pregnant woman.
It wasn't all bad though!
When I was going to Pittsburgh, I got to stay with my Uncle Bill and Aunt Sandy and play with my cousin Liam, and have the honor of being the first niece or nephew to visit on my own. My cousin Patrick stays with us when his family comes to visit, and I feel like it helped create a special bond even if it took some getting used to the first time. So I'm excited to take that step with my family in Pittsburgh, and I can't wait to get to know them better. I think they were also the last set of aunts and uncles that I had ever NOT spent the night with-- the exception may be PAG, but let's face it, I spent something like 4 hours a day with him in highschool, so we passed that level of bonding a long time ago. Anyway, Liam asked me if I would please come back and visit again, and I'm excited to hopefully do it again.
Also, my kitchen got updated! Look at these beauties:
My mom bought me the Ninja as a surprise gift, and today while I was out grocery shopping I found this crock pot on sale for $11! It has 3 heat options, and the stoneware inside is removable and dishwasher safe! I am in apartment-living heaven right now.
Finally, I still am thankful everyday to work with great people and have a great boss who is encouraging and driven without ever making me feel overwhelmed or unappreciated. The fact that I not only have a job, but have a job with a great manager and great coworkers, makes me a very lucky girl.
Long story short, I believe in looking on the bright side.
