Nordstrom is going well! I sold $1,916 today! I have been hanging out with my mom and shopping at Ann Taylor (discount!). We went to Pei Wei last week. I LOVE that restaurant. It is the same food as P.F. Chang's only it is more fast food style. Tyler and I went on a date on Saturday night to Texas Roadhouse. We had my mom and Katelyn over for dinner last night and we had Poppyseed Chicken. If you need a yummy, easy recipe just let me know :) We then went down to the pool and put our feetsies in.

Some of our Texas sunsets

I have had a very fun summer so far in Texas but I just realized something...I miss hanging out with my husband! His job totally sucks! Ha ha. He doesn't get home until around 10:30 every night, including Saturdays. On Saturdays he works from 9-10:30. We never get to do anything fun together! I miss going on fun dates! He doesn't have his office meeting until noon during the week but there is nothing really great to do in the mornings. Hmmm....we're thinking this will be our last summer doing this though so that's good! :)

So You Think You Can Dance

This girl I used to work with at Ruby River, Randi Evans, made it into the top 20 on So You Think You Can Dance! Cool!

Nordstrom here I come

Two jobs and a month later, I got the job at Nordstrom!!! I interviewed there realizing that a part time job would not suffice me this summer due to my lack of liking to relax. I mean, I don't mind the occaisional lay-out by the pool, thrilling summer read, or So You Think You Can Dance episode. In fact, I love things like that but only every now and then. After 22 years of my life, it is definitely decided that I am a busy-a-holic. Okay, you could call it a work-a-holic. I LOVE being busy. I'm bored if I'm not. Some people like to have hours on end where they don't have anywhere to be. Not me. No, sir. I like to get up and have my whole day jam packed with things to do. I thrive on feeling and being productive. So, Nordstrom full time job it is! I'm excited! But not excited to quit Ann Taylor Loft because they have been so nice and the discount is a shopaholic's dream come true.

In other news, I got to visit my 2nd cousin Rebecca on Sunday for dinner because her little family was in town! Her little baby is adorable. He has the chubbiest legs I have ever seen and I love him already. Tyler and I and our friends here selling with us got a free Sonic root beer float last night. I should have spread the good news earlier so you could have been a part of the treat. Well, it's gym time. Then pool time. Then work time. Whew.

Summa jobs

I love summer. And I love Texas. I love summer in Texas. I am having so much fun! It is amazing having my mom here so that I can go hang out with her whenever I want! We went shopping last night at Ann Taylor Loft and Ann Taylor using my discount and got TONS of cute things. Shhh...don't tell Tyler. Ha ha. I had an interview at Nordstrom yesterday so I'm hoping I get a job there too! It's a huge 3 story Nordstrom in Dallas at the Galleria, and it's the biggest in Texas. The department I interviewed for was The Individualist. They sell expensive designers like Ellie Tahari and Nanette Lepore. The manager was really nice and I'm excited about it! Magic Johnson's wife has a new line of jeans that the department just started carrying, so Magic Johnson and his wife are coming on August 1st to promote the jeans! The manager said that since this Nordstrom is such a big one they always have appearances by designers. How fun!

Well, it's another gorgeous day in Texas. I have been amazed at how mild the weather has been so far! It's perfect. I know within the next couple weeks it will get ridiculously hot but for now it is awesome! Well, I'm heading to the gym, then perhaps the pool, then work at Loft. See ya!

Fort Worth Zoo with Mom and Kate!

Me, my mom and Katelyn went to the Fort Worth Zoo on Memorial Day and it was so much fun! We got there at about noon and stayed 'til 5. We took a break for lunch around 3 and had delicious Panera bagels. It's a workout walking around the zoo....I loved every minute! We went and got a snow cone afterward and it was delish as always. We watched the Bachelorette that night...it was such a great day! :)
