So many things have been happening these last few weeks and sometimes I feel so overwhelmed! I can't even imagine thinking about what kids will do the stress...and thank you for those individuals that tell me it just gets worse. Very inspiring. Makes me excited for more stress.
On top of Mike going to school and working full-time, my schedule picked up without warning and somehow I seem to thrive on the chaos. At work, some exciting things have been happening. I was promoted to THE Manager of Account Management at my company. No longer am I the Jr. Account Manager! So, basically that means that I am the one in charge of everything. We are going to bring on Jr. Account Managers for me to train and help spread the load while I deal with all our huge, money-making clients and keep everyone at LACED on-track and focused on projects.
I love this company and the opportunities I have to prove my abilities and talents! We have been lucky enough to land some huge accounts in these last few weeks and these are clients that actually prosper in hard economic times. (Such as Educational clients). So, things have just been great at work and I feel so blessed to be a part of a company that I support and believe in the product we give.
Now, with more responsibility comes way more stress and I feel like there is never enough time to accomplish everything, but it keeps me beyond busy and out of trouble.
Along with the stress, we have some great opportunities coming our way and one of them is a week in Mexico with my parents! Mike and I are SO grateful I have parents that love to travel and take their kids on vacations with them. I don't think Mike and I would survive another week without this vacation driving us forward.
So in conclusion, here are my thoughts...I love my job. I am so grateful I magically found this company after moving to L.A. a year ago. I can't believe I've been with this company a year and I am just so excited to move forward and kick some advertising butt! Second, I love my family! Mike has been the most supportive husband I could ever ask for. When I came home around 8:00 p.m. one day, he had dinner ready for me (sandwiches) and the house was clean! What a blessing it is to be married to someone that supports your dreams and wants you to reach all your goals! But also, I love my family and Mike's family for just being there for both of us. Like I mentioned before, these last weeks have been insane and it is nice to know that we have a solid support. I'd also like to thank the academy...just kidding. I'm not giving an Oscar acceptance speech, but I wanted to let everyone know that my family (Anderson and Pless) rocks and I love them all!

Hockey Game!!
Mike and I were lucky enough to go to a Kings Hockey game. (My first hockey game...ever!) One of his clients gave him 4 tickets in the Premier Seating, so we invited some friends and set out for a fun-filled evening. Now, I'm a natural worrier. I worry about everything and anything thanks to my long family line of worriers. It is in my blood, so whenever some one tells me not to worry, I just assume they have no clue who I am. But what sparked my worry streak on the way to the game was the fact that a warning is printed on the tickets in Bold letters letting us know that pucks might fly at high velocity and to be aware at all times. Great...that just soothes my worry-wart self and you know I was watching that puck every second we were there.
Overtime!
Mike's (natural) reaction to Overtime. Ok, well it is staged, but this is a close reenactment.
Well...I have no comment about this photo besides stating the obvious - Mike changed his face last minute like he does in most of our photos. I swear it is just to get a reaction out of me.
Overall, the game was so much fun and there were only 5 fights! I can't wait till Mike gets another set of free tickets so we can root for a team that we really know nothing about. What can I say, we aren't big sports people. Oh, and I think the Kings lost...Bummer!
Proof we were actually at the game and paying attention.
Ok, so we didn't pay attention the ENTIRE time.
