STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I figured I'd just lump these together as one celebratory post!

I moved into my new house on Monday....and it's great! I'm back in my hometown, in this little house in the woods (the same woods that a zillion of my relatives live in, so I'm right back with my humongous family! yay!) You have to walk on a little path to get to it. There are HUGE windows, cathedral ceilings, a deck, and a perfect place to build a fence for my dog - it's in the shade, and one side of it will be the side of my house. There's a plug on the outside wall, so I can get her an electric dog bowl and not have to worry about her water freezing while I'm at work - a small detail that I am SUPER happy about, especially since she's getting old now.

Also, I was disappointed that my school won't even verify my graduation over the phone until August - apparently, they just process all the summer graduates at once. Anyway, I wasn't going to be able to job search until the end of August anyway because of that, but yesterday my uncle called me into his office (I currently work for my family's business). They're increasing my responsibilities and giving me a huge raise (since I have a degree now and will be working set, full-time hours), which brings my salary up higher than what I was going to be looking for from a new job.....so now I have a good reason to stay where I am

Ahhhhh!!!! I'm so happy about everything! This has been the busiest and most stressful week, with moving and everything, but I'm so happy about these things
