People....

I have worked in customer service for the last four years of my life.

I OBVIOUSLY know good vs bad service.

And let me just tell you,

the lady at the bank I am attempting to work with on our mortgage....

no bueno.

I don't like to talk negatively about people or places of business but this is getting ridiculous!

Friday night she sent me an email saying that we could not get a mortgage with her bank

due to outstanding debts on Josh's credit.

She then sent me in detail all of the debts he had.

NONE OF THEM WERE HIS.

So she sent me the link to the credit bureaus that banks use to pull credit.

We ran his social through all three of the bureaus and none of them showed what she was saying.

I have since emailed her three times informing her of the situation.

She sent me one, ONE, email back saying which one she used

and then asked if I used the link she sent me.

REALLY LADY!?!?

I emailed her THREE times telling her we used the link she sent us,

ran all three credit reports,

and none of them showed what she had pulled up!

You see, I worked at a bank.

I am friends with the loan originator at my old bank.

And so I messaged her over the phone informing her of our situation.

And she said the only explination was that this woman was running the wrong ssn.

So trying to get things straightened out,

(you can imagine the gut wrenching feeling Josh and I have had all weekend trying to figure out what the HECK was going on- because if this stuff really is on his credit we have to report it to get it figured out!)

I then informed the woman that I think she may have run the ssn incorrectly.

So I sent her his correct ssn and asked if I could call her to get this handled more quickly and efficiently.

Two days later, still no reply.

JOSH AND I HAVE BEEN ON PINS AND NEEDLES FOR OVER A WEEK ABOUT THIS HOUSE.

And you can't have the decensy to help me figure out what is going on?

come on people.



Life Has Changed

I am a bad person.

I know this.

I haven't posted in almost SEVEN months!

Soooooooooooooooooooooo

much has changed!

I've kept up with all of my favorites

but I've continued to make excuses for why I couldn't post any new blog updates.

Until now.

Since the start of the year I ended things with "Mr. (not so) Wonderful"

He turned out to be a complete jerk.

Not sure what changed except his attitude.

The sunday before Valentine's Day,

God laid it on my heart that I needed him and I needed to get back into church.

So I did.

Right before church let out, I looked to my left and laid eyes on the most beautiful man I had ever seen.

Everything in me was saying "you don't need this right now" but my heart told me "get your butt over there!"

And I'm sure glad I did :)

Since that lovely day we have been inseperable!

He is truly the one God put on this planet for me!

It has been a whirlwind romance to say the least!

On April 29th he got down on one knee and proposed!

Now I know most people think "shot gun wedding!"

But it's not like that at all.

We just felt like it was what God was calling us to do!

So we listened :)

We are now getting married on August 25th and I could not be more excited!

We wanted to wait until next year but we weren't sure when his sister would be in town from Texas

so we decided to go ahead and get married in August when she is going to be here.

Wedding planning is well under way and I have gotten a lot done!

Pictures soon to follow I promise!

Also in these last few months I have made a HUGE career change.

I went from working at the bank to working for the local phone/cable company.

It was a huge blessing to say the least!

I got a very nice pay raise and now I have the opportunity to go back to school!

I love my new job and my new coworkers and I know I'm here for the long haul.

But I do miss my bank  people!

Anyways, as far as my living situation goes,

I had to rid myself of the roommate.

I'm not going to bad mouth anyone here so we will just say it wasn't working out and it's for the best that she is gone.

That lovely man I mentioned earlier?

His name is Josh :)

Well Josh and I are in the works of (hopefully) purchasing our first home!

We have found our dream house with a decent amount of land in a great location.

And the best part?

It's perfectly in our price range!

Now all we need is to make sure the bank will give us the loan for what we need,

and hopefully the owners of the home will negotiate with us on the price so we will have enough to buy appliances!

Please, please, please pray for us!

We desperately need it!

Okay, I really do promise this time to get back to posting regularly.

I will have wedding updates and home buying updates!

And everything in between!

So be prepared!

This Beautiful Life is about to get even more Crazy :)

S L A C K

Wowwwwww I have been so super slack lately!

Sorry about the NON updates on here!

Anyways, down to business.

First and foremost....

 HOW ABOUT THOSE CHAMPIONS :)

ohhhhhhhhhhh yeah.

Clemson dominated Virginia Tech

This past weekend

38-10

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO:

Annnnnnyways,

Since we came back from Hilton Head

Alex and I have been super busy around the house and with other things.

She now has a new man in her life and I am so freakin ecstatic for her!

He's such a sweet guy and he's so good to her!

They've been spending so much time together but it's great!

I have been super busy seeing as how I just recently got a new gym membership

at Omni Health And Fitness

IT'S FANTASTIC

Let me just tell you.

The new owner was so helpful working with me to figure out exactly what I needed.

And the trainers are wonderful!

They broke down the basics of excersize and fat and why you need lean muscle

and the importance of strength training and yadda yadda yadda.

It made so much sense to me!

And it motivated me even more.

They even showed me how to correctly do different excersizes and ways to mix it up and do "muscle confusion"

But I'm only meeting with them once a month.

My friend J who you all may remember from this post

and I meet once a week.

And let me just tell you home girl kicks my little booty!

WORK LIFE:

Work has been somewhat different here lately

I temporarily moved over to a branch on the other side of town to help out due to them

being short handed until January.

It's been fine but "There's no place like home"

I miss my home branch!

I love my little ladies I work with and I definitely miss my customers!

Plus all the officers that come in everyday!

Buuuuuuut we wound up getting some extra help over at the other branch

and my home branch had a short in workers so they sent me back home for two days!

OH MY WORD

It feels so good to be back!

And not to mention how happy my coworkers were to have me back.. they missed me :)

And my customers missed me too!

It always makes you feel good for your customers faces to light up when they see  you!

LOVE LIFE:

Well ladies, let's just say love life is getting better :)

(for those that have followed along)

"Guy I'm interested in"

is no longer so interesting.

Nothing happened really we just kind of faded off and realized we're better off friends.

Well it's been a few weeks now since this happened and I haven't really been looking.

And that's when "Mr. hopefully Wonderful" happened :)

I don't want to post names or any background info just yet because I want to see where it goes

But girls, he took me out on a date to one of my favorite restaurants

and I literally have never connected so much with someone I just met!

He lives a little over an hour away from me so we can only spend time together on the weekends he has off

But we've been on the phone for hours every night and on skype every night before we go to bed.

So far so good :)

And we're hanging out ALL DAY

this saturday!

I'll keep yall updated on how this goes... but keep your fingers crossed!

HOME LIFE

Home life has been fantastic!

I seriously could not ask for a better roommate!

She's wonderful and she puts up with me and my OCD which is terrific!

We have a blast together.

Her mom is in town this week

(love that woman)

And she is helping us decorate for Christmas which I love!

She bought our Christmas tree for us!

It was adorable!

We all went together like a little family

Alex, Madre, D (her bf) and me.

to the Farmer's Market and got our little 7 ft. tree.

LOVE IT

We're going to finish decorating everything tonight when I get home from the gym :)

I'll definitely post pictures later!

I think that's all for the updates for now.

I'll post more later if I think of any.

Happy Hump Day Pretties :)

Randomosity!

A few updates... seeing as how I do have writers block here lately.


Family:
Family life is pretty great :) My nana is out of the hospital and doing great for an almost 90 year old lady! Grammy is doing great too! We had a scare with her health. Doctors thought she might have cancer. And we are proud to report she is in fact cancer free! This week is my Pawpaw's birthday. He's such a wonderful man. He and my Mawmaw married when I was very young, and he took on an entire family. He's been a blessing to all of us. And he loves my grandmother (who is precious to my heart) unconditionally. So we're pretty excited to celebrate him :)

Friends:
Friends are also pretty great! I've been spending a good amount of time with friends and I'm loving it :)
I finally feel happy and content with that part of my life.

Work:
Work is going fantastic! We have opened so many accounts and kept them open! Our bank is running a campaign right now where the branches get a certain amount of money for the amount of accounts we open and so far we have $500 and counting! Oh and not to mention we are the ONLY branch who had exceeded all of our goals for the year! Um high five please?

Living Situation:
WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!! Okay so a town house but same difference right?
It is absolutely adorable! It has a ton of updates, all new appliances, fresh paint, and it comes with a washer dryer and a grill! Let me just say, I'm in love with the place! I'll post pictures of it once we start getting stuff set up in it!



Oh and did I mention my Tigers are 7-0
