Gender Reveal!

I absolutely know so many of you read that headline and are so nosy that you just couldn’t help yourself but to read this and potentially find out some juicy gossip. 

I’m sorry to disappoint, but I’m not pregnant. But, I am ready to reveal that my life will be changing soon.  

I purchased my first home! And it’s so perfectly particularly wonderful for me!!  If any of you know me on a personal level, then you will know that I’m scared shitless of change.  I’m a Taurus and we get into grooves, and we don’t really like when those grooves are disturbed.  You can say that zodiacs are silly, but if I wrote my personality traits, they are 100% in line with the Taurus description.  (Shrugs) 

I’ve lived in my current apartment for two and a half years, and it’s been great, however, the rental and housing market in Lake Charles, LA is, for lack of a better word, overpriced.  Considering the quality, or lack there of, of the construction of most of the new developments here, apartments and houses are not worth the price tag.  

I considered building a home, however land is also overpriced.  I even got a bid on building a metal building home, or a shed house, but it didn’t feel right.  

So, in the end, I went with a manufactured home!  It’s built to my specifications, and it has all the creature comforts of a site built home, except SOOOOO much cheaper!  Like, astronomically less than my current rent, which is $300-$400 cheaper than the average price of a luxury apartment in Lake Charles, LA. 

I am having it special ordered, and it will be completed soon.  But the reason I bring up this update in my life is because with my dad’s help today, we verified that the existing sewer system is fully functional!  This was a massive concern of mine, because I was not prepared to pay to replace that system.  

We had a couple of little hiccups with the motor at first , but in the end, the system works beautifully, well, as beautiful as churning turds can be. 

I’m very proud of the decision I made, and I’d like to explain my reasoning.  I have a great job, and I will be receiving a promotion soon.  I guess I’ll let the cat out of the bag.  

Since this summer, I, along with the input from my senior managers, have been building a new department at work.  I will be the Call Center Manager for my company, as of the first quarter of 2018.  

I love a challenge, and building a call Center was certainly that.  All the research, conference calls, interviewing, policy and procedure writing has been tough, but I thrive so well in that project manager setting.  I love building presentations, stating my intentions and explaining the benefits, and following through to success.  

We got board approval, and so this is really happening!  I’m ready!  I believe my company  does truly great things.  This call center will help up provide top notch member support, give us an opportunity to build lasting relationships, and we be able to maintain our positive reputation in the community. 

So, as you can tell, I’m going to be thrown completely out of my comfort zone, but my boss has faith in me and the shit tank works.  😂

Here’s a little sample of my new home, a digital version, of course.  My landscaping will look way better than theirs!!!  And I’ll have something better off that side door. 👌🏼
