November already?

Can't believe it is November already! Hope everyone had a good Halloween. I finally broke down and bought a laptop so I can get online while Jason spends his hours playing Wow upstairs on the computer. So tonight I've been playing with it all night, Jason's been playing Guitar Hero 4 all night. I'm currently counting down days until my cruise with Lisa. Can't wait for a vacation!


Caylea was a witch this year, she's never been one yet before this year.

Jazzie's new favorite spot to lay, the back of the couch. She really likes it when the sun is coming in like in this pic.

When I like Jazzie best, when she is calm!

Heading to Blm and can't wait for...

Gloria Jeans and going to the scrapbook store! I've had some serious withdrawals. And of course seeing friends and family.

Jazzie trying to "hide" her treat. The hidden result, she seems surprised when Magnus ends up enjoying all her treats.

Couldn't resist...had to get her this lobster costume. Can you tell she loves it? : )
Caylea's room is like a jackpot for Jazz, here she is chomping on a chapstick. Once she gets something there is no getting it back from her unless you bribe her with treats or food.

Back for a week

I'm back from working claims in SE Mo. The manager I was working for was nice enough to give me a week in between being in the field and going to Blm. I climbed my steepest roofs yet, 9/12, which I thought for sure I'd fall off and die. My friend I was climbing with is lucky I didn't knock him off. I had a blast, long hours, but it was pretty cool to be out talking to the insureds and whipping out estimates and writing checks. I was pretty proud of myself for all the roofs I got on. I would've had my friend take a picture but he was not allowed to get off the roof until I got to the ladder and got down. : ) It was definitely a false sense of protection, he wasn't going to stop me if I fell but I felt better getting down first! Took the picture below of a camel and we also saw donkeys. I was just a little suprised to see a bunch of camels roaming around these farms. I'm super excited to come to Blm next week and see everyone. Jason, Caylea, and I will be at Buffalo Wild Wings Sat, Oct 11th at 4 for anyone who can make it out! I'm sure I'll see a lot of you before then.

Field Work

Hey all, the posts may slow down a bit. I'm heading out to work field claims tomorrow morning. Short notice, just found out today. But claim reps are stretched thin right now with the hurricanes, so I'm heading down to Southern Missouri for at least a week maybe 2. So between all the OT, Jason traveling, and now me traveling things have been a tad hectic. I'll still be in Blm on 10/6 for claims school, so I hope to see most of you then! Jason and Caylea are coming up that weekend so Jas will be sending out an email with info on where we'll be hanging out Sat. night.

Still...

working! I haven't had much of a life except for work. My first day off since Labor Day will be Sunday, Sept. 28th. I pretty much go to work, come home, sleep, get up and do it again. I've been keeping Jason occupied cleaning and doing the grocery shopping. : ) It's raining like crazy here at the moment. Well just wanted to do a quick update, I'm off to bed. Miss everyone!

Hurricanes and Overtime

Hurricanes and overtime pretty much sums up my life right now! I'm working 12 hour days most days of the week and this and next weekend. I think I figured out I'm doing about 73 hrs. of ot in 2 weeks. I'm taking a break Monday and working normal hours though, I'm getting pretty tired! But the overtime will be nice to have to save up for my cruise in November which I will be SO ready for. So I'm off to work in a few minutes and Jason and Caylea are holding down the fort. I'm coming home tonight to pizza and The Office Season 4 marathon. : ) Depending on what Hanna, Ike, and Josephine end up doing, I will either be working a lot of ot here still or a lot of ot in Louisiana if some of the Cat people have to take off for the East Coast. But I guess there's no better way to learn my new job than to jump right into it. I'll be in Blm in a month for claims school so I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!! Jason and Caylea will be visiting one weekend while I'm there so we'll let everyone know where we'll be on Sat. night so hopefully we can see everyone.
