I absolutely love my job. I love dealing with the money and the people and everything. This week, the head teller quit unexpectedly and so they had to move the senior teller up to her position, and guess what? They want me to train under her for the senior teller position. Not only a promotion, but a raise too! I know that I will be able to do this, but I worry a little about the reaction of the older employees with more seniority than me. I hope that this will not affect my relationship with them. I really think that if I work really hard, and treat them with respect I can make this work. I just don't want to step on anyone's toes. I mean right now we have a really great working relationship and I just don't want to mess that up. They seem to like me and we all get along really well, we even go to breakfast together at a local place every Friday morning. It is a little ritual we created to keep us going through our long days on Fridays. It is our busiest and latest day, so it is kind of a way of rewarding ourselves for our hard work at the beginning of the day. Occasionally, we go out after work, but this Friday tradition has been a great way to bond together as friends and co-workers and dig our heels in for the day ahead.

I love making my own money, and with my expenses being so minimal, living with my parents and all, it has been easy to put aside a really nice chunk of money and still get a few nice goodies for myself and my boyfriend. I have even acquired a few credit cards for myself. Just last week I got a credit card from a local jewelry store and bought this incredible ring for my boyfriend. It is a gold ring with black onyx and has his initial on it with a diamond. I know that he will flip when I give it to him for his birthday. To be honest with you, I really can't wait to see his face. I love giving gifts and with my new found financial freedom, it really makes it nice to be able to afford to spend a little more. I know better than to go crazy, I mean I am still a planner and am really looking forward to our future together.

I know that he wants to marry me, but I am just not sure that would be the best thing right now. Last week I went to a baby shower for one of my friends I graduated with. She is way pregnant and will be marrying the baby's father after she has the kid. I just can't envision being at that point in my life yet. I am not quite ready to be a wife and mother yet. I would like to live a little and experience a little more of my life first. I love Josh, but I just am not ready to move to the next phase yet. He is a great guy, but there is a lot I need to do for myself before I get to that place.
