Yipes! It's amazing how time flies, I looked at my calendar and I see it's been a week since I've written.
My new job's going quite well. I'm slowly figuring everything out, and slowly making suggestions for how I think things should be done differently.
Today I get to really start diving in to the world of budgeting. It's going to be a big part of my job (the next few months especially), and it's something I've only had experience from on the other end (as an auditor looking to see if all the rules were followed).
I've been researching bed & breakfasts that are up in the mountains about an hour east of here. The boy & I want to get married somewhere up there. Up in the woods, it's very much *us*. We won't have any help from my family (or his) in paying for the wedding, but at least we have 2 years to save up for it. Though with the way each of our incomes and expenses are, I don't know how much we'll be able to save. He's coming to visit this weekend and on Saturday we're going to go drive up and look at some of the bed & breakfasts I've found online.
I'm looking forward to it! (except not the part where they tell me how much money they want and I faint and fall over)

Date: 2005-03-02 09:55 pm (UTC)The boy & I are very outdoorsy people, and we both love the forest. One of our favorite things to do (even in the winter) is to go drive up into the mountains. Sometimes we go for a hike, sometimes we just go for the drive & the scenery, and sometimes we just go to commune with nature in a park somewhere.

I hope as spring goes on I'll get stronger again so Paul and I can go explorigating around a bit!
