Day 81 Happy: Hayden Marie
Today after work, my friend Miranda came over to hang out and have dinner. She brought along her adorable daughter, Hayden, who is also going to be the flower girl at our wedding. It was so much fun to play with her! It's so easy to forget about a bad day when you are chasing around a little baby. We had a great time eating breakfast for dinner, and watching Arrested Development. It was a nice end to a stressful, busy day.

NEW CAR!!! (080/365)
Day 80 Happy: (It's a good one... get ready...) A NEW (to me) CAR!!
Today, Marc and I had to run a whole bunch of errands. While we were out in Tampa, we decided to run by the Volkswagen dealership to see if they had any used cars in our price range. The salesman was really nice, and didn't balk at my "Listen, I work in a car dealership, and I know how this works," speech. I told him that I wanted to look at prices first, and if he had anything that was in my price range, I only wanted to see those. He only had two that were in the range we were looking for, and one of them had previously been a rental car, so it was definitely not an option.
The second car was a little silver 06 Jetta. I was in love immediately. It is so adorable. After hours and hours of talking with the salesman, and talking with our insurance, and the finance guy, and the delivery girl, the car was finally mine! I decided to name her Carleigh (it's a German name), "Car" for short.

Opportunities! (079/365)
Day 79 Happy: (More) money!!
Today, my supervisor from my Graphics Tech internship contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in doing some freelance writing! They are going to start offering a copy writing service to customers who need somebody to write out the information that is featured on their website. I really liked working at Graphics Tech during my internship, and I'm glad that I have an opportunity to work with them again (and actually get paid this time!).
They don't have any clients yet who are requesting the copy writing service, but Mark (supervisor) said that he would contact me when they have somebody who needs my mad writing skills. :)
I feel like a real writer today, and that makes me very very happy.

Money, money, money, money.... MONEY! (078/365)
Day 78 Happy: A (paid!!) writing job.
So, I have been writing posts for Get Up and Out! for a few weeks now. I found out today that I get paid for them (a foreign concept to me so far, as most of my writing has been for this little blog, my internship and school). It's not a ton of money, but it means that I am a REAL freelance writer now. Besides, that extra little bit of money a month will be very nice when Christmas and my honeymoon come around.
Yay money!

Clean House! (077/365)
Day 77 Happy: A very successful cleaning day!
I love Sundays. Today, I got off around 3:30, and was home by four. I wanted to surprise Marc by cleaning the house and making it all pretty for when he got home from work. It looks so nice now. I love it when my apartment is all picked up, and everything is in its place. Now, I just have to keep it up. There are still some deep cleaning things to do (mop the floors, scrub the bathtub), but it looks nice on the surface at least.
Tomorrow after work, I'm going to keep up the cleaning. Hopefully I can get the whole house super clean and then keep it that way until the end of the year. With the wedding and the holidays coming up, we are going to have people in and out of the house all the time, and I'd rather not panic every time somebody says that they are going to pop over.
