Married to Jackson...workin' for Jackson

Sorry that this post is a little late. It has been a crazy week! 

Monday I started at Jackson National Life Insurance Company in the Marketing Print Fulfillment department. I work with 5 other ladies who are super nice and very fashion forward. They are all around my age. I have really enjoyed being around my peers. Yay! All of the people on my floor are so nice and all pretty young. I love it! It is also nice that Jackson (my husband! The name of the company and the name of my husband get confusing!) is in the same building- working for a sister company- so I can see him during the day! We have had lunch a few times. Love it!

I started school this week. The prof is the dean of the school and really seems to enjoy teaching. That is a nice change from last quarter! I think this class will be a real challenge- a welcome challenge. 

We had our friend Meg over this week for dinner. She is getting her hair back! YAY! Chemo can't hold her down. After having this busy week at work Meg has been renewed as my hero. I cannot imagine working full-time and doing chemo. She's such a trooper. I am so proud that she is our friend. 

Jackson and I finally got to watch some t.v. tonight. We had not even turned on the television for days! Susie got in town tonight and we took her to our favorite Chinese place. It was great. MacKenzie had forgotten Grammy! She growled, barked and peed! She had NEVER done that! Poor Susie was heartbroken! MacKenzie eventually warmed up and remembered her. Grammy throwing the ball hasn't hurt. ;)

I cannot eat tonight after midnight or drink after 8 a.m. to prepare for my surgery tomorrow. I have to be there at noon and have surgery at 2. Yes, that is a LONG time that I cannot eat or drink. Annoyed. I hope that this surgery will help things. If not, I will again be annoyed.

I will update again when I can. Until then, have a great weekend!

I'm so glad that you like the people you work with, your new prof, and that Jackson works in the same building as you! This year is sure to hold some great times. Love you!
