Distance makes the heart grow fonder...

Whoever came up with the phrase, "Distance make the heart grow fonder," knew exactly what they were talking about. I have 4 bestest best friends. Two of them live about an hour away from me, one 1 1/2 hours away, and another that lives 7 1/2 hours away. You never know how much you miss someone until you don't see them for months at a time. One of my best friends is getting married in January and I am soooo excited! I'm in the wedding and I get to go down to St. Augustine a week before the wedding to help with all the final arrangements. I love St. Augustine!

And I love my best friends...

So I don't win the award for best blogger...

I said I was going to try to update this thing regularly, but with the way work has been, it hasn't really been a possibility. For the past few weeks, I had been working 9 hour days Monday through Saturday. Luckilly, this Monday we were able to go back to working 8 hour days. I'm praying that we don't have to work this Saturday. Even though I love my job, a girl can only take so much! It does get tiring sitting in front of a computer for 8 or 9 hours at a time.

I know you probably don't care what my desk looks like, but I'm going to post pictures of it anyways. :)

My cute little desk. It was decorated with balloons and confetti for my birthday.



This is my money tree my co-worker Tess gave me for my birthday.



My best friend Lauren gave me those flowers for my birthday.

So on another note, Brianna is now 2 weeks and 3 days old. She's just so beautiful. Here are some new pictures of her.




On yet another note, I've met the man I wanna marry... haha well I guess that's jumping a little too much into it. I won't go into details on here, but I will let you readers know—if there are any readers out there—if anything happens. He's just one of the most Godliest men ever. I just pray that he's the one God has planned for me, but I know that if he isn't, God has someone even better out there for me. :)

Hi! I'm new here...

Hi! I'm Elizabeth... I'm new here.
I've decided to start a blog on here instead of using the one on Myspace. I found out a lot of people I went to high school and college had them so I decided to join the craze. I'm not guaranteeing that I'll write on here regularly, but I'm sure going to try my hardest. I'm also not going to guarantee that everything I post will be interesting, but it most likely will mean something to me. So on to my first post...

Well I just finished my 5th week at Cox Custommedia. I absolutely love it there! I am working there through a temp agency and cannot wait to get hired on through Cox. I'm a formatter (aka Layout Designer). I sit at a Mac all day long and design calendars and newsletters for Assisted Livings throughout the US, Canada, and parts of Europe. I'm just designing marketing tools for 2 different assisted living companies This past week has been really hard though. August is a really busy month for the company because so many projects are due for September. Monthly calendars are due, of course, but then quarterly calendars and quarterly and bimonthly newsletters are due as well. So in order to get everything in on time, we're working 9 hour days Monday through Friday, as well as 9 hour days on Saturdays. That's 54 hours a week and they are encouraging us to work more. That's a lot of working, but luckily I like my job and my paycheck isn't going to stink either. :)

On a happier note, my God-daughter Brianna Elizabeth Keasler was born on Monday! She was born on 8/6/2007 (just missed my birthday by a day!) and weighed 7lbs. 3 ozs. She was 20 inches long. She was ready to come, but Mommy's body wasn't so they had to perform an emergency c-section. LeeAnn and her beautiful daughter are at home now and everything is a-ok. They went to the doctor today and Brianna checked out great. I love that baby girl! I know I love a lot of babies, but there's just some connection I have with Brianna. I mean she's like my niece and is kinda like a namesake. She shares my name and was kinda named after me, but there are a lot of other people in her family named Elizabeth too. I just love her and her mommy so much! Click here to see some pictures of Brianna.

Well I need to get some sleep. Gotta work a lovely 9 hour day tomorrow. :(
