One more week!

Wow, things have been so crazy at my job this past week! We announced our "mitigation program," which I am heading up on the case manage- ment end, in the Pensacola News Journal. I have been crazy as the phone never stops ringing, and I am always in an appointment every second of every day! I didnt even get any lunch breaks last week (my boss would get us lunch and we would scarf it down.) Its been hard, because I feel so drained after working a 9 or 10 hour day with no break, talking and interviewing people. I feel as though when I get home, I just want to be still and quiet, and I definately dont feel myself...!
One good thing that came out of it all is that my very favorite Rebuild client was featured in that story, and her picture on the front page of the news! I tried to find it online, but now only the story comes up, not her picture. Im so disappointed because I would love to share her with everyone. Her name is Eva Gray, and she is the cutest little thing, with a big blonde curly wig she wears and huge white sunglasses she never takes off, even inside. She is addicted to winning free things that she can never use, so she always gives them away to anyone. I love her, really really love her, because she has less than most of our clients. Her home is a wreck but she still gives everything she does have away. Everytime I talk to her, she gives me free Backyard Burger coupons, which she won the previous Monday night at Bingo night (at Backyard burger) or free icecream from marble slab. The other day when she came into our office, I heard her talking to my co-workers and giving them free tickets to the Zoo and also a spa package she won from Dillards (she cant use these things she says.) She is SO cute, I just cant even describe her adequately, she is so very selfless and loving. She called me the day after the PNJ came out to her house, and said, "you wouldnt believe it, they took NINE pictures of me!" I was so happy they put one of them in the paper, she was adorable with her big blonde wig and huge white sunglasses.
The weekend was much needed and appreciated! Ruco and I went to Smokey Bones with Heather and Rhett on Friday night, lazied around the house on Saturday, and then went to see "Holiday" which was out on sneak preview. I loved it. Today, we went to church, breakfast with my family, and then GOLFING! Ruco goes every Sunday, but this was my first time joining the fun, and it really was fun (I didnt expect that!) Ruco just grilled us some yummy BBQ ribs, hes such a great cook..I think he gets it from his mamma! =) And we are just settling down (sad that the weekend is over!)
So next Saturday we leave for our Christmas Cruise to Mexico! Im so very excited, this vacation couldnt come at a better time! I really feel so exhausted and like a huge burden is on my shoulders from the craziness of my work. I CAN NOT wait to spend an entire week with my family and Ruco relaxing and enjoying the sun and sand! I hope everyone has an awesome week!
