Today was my first day at my new job. It was just Laura and I along with another girl (whose name escapes me right now) all day, so it was very leisurely and nice.

Laura trained me how to do the input for the spread sheet, how to fill out forms and what to say when we answer the phone. It should be a good job and she says that everyone there is very easy to work with. And since I filled out my direct deposit form, I know I’ll get paid on time every time!

While at David’s house this evening, we got a surprise! A group of balloonists dropped in on the field next to David’s. I haven’t been up close with a balloon in about ten years. My uncle Steve owns a balloon and I’ve been up in it a few times. I have always loved going up in a hot air balloon! The best time of year to do it (in my opinion) is in the winter. The warm blast from the fire feels so good mixed with the cold air surrounding you. That was when we always went up anyways. That could also be because my uncle would come for Thanksgiving and bring the balloon then.

At least it wasn’t a house being carried by thousands of balloons like in the movie Up!. I still need to go see that. I love Disney movies!

David got to take a ride up in the balloon. The people who owned it were training another guy to pilot a hot air balloon. So, when they landed, they had David get in to help with weight and balance while the guy learned how to lift and drop a few feet off the ground.

I was a little jealous I didn’t get a chance to go up, even if it was just about six feet off the ground. I think it would have been a lot of fun to get back in a basket again!

David and I worked on some wedding stuff we have to give our wedding planner soon. Every time we have to make all the choices, I feel overwhelmed or like there’s just too much involved. Everyone has an opinion and I get tired of trying to fit ours as a couples in and filter out everyone elses. It’s not like we don’t appreciate the input, because we do. We actually take it into consideration; but when we make our own choice about something, it doesn’t help to hear others say they would do it differently. Thanks, but that’s you. We want things a certain way, seeing as we’re only doing this once… unlike my dad’s brother who has divorced and remarried the same woman at least ten times now.

Now we just need to pick out our first dance song, father/daughter, etc. It sucks! There are so many good songs for the dances, but none seem special enough. At least not yet.

This really has been a good weekend thus far. I hope Sunday is just as good or better!
