Viva Las Vegas!

I love Vegas and I can't wait to go back in September!!

Best Friends

I am very fortunate to be surrounded by lots of great people. They have helped mold the person I am today especially my best friend John. I met him 7 years ago at the Credit Union of Texas. We were both tellers at the Las Colinas branch (aka the glory days.) We instantly clicked. We could talk for hours on end at work. He was the only person that read my thesis other than my professors. He even found typos...guess I should've had him proofread it. Hah!


We kept in touch when he transferred to Rockwall and even after I moved to DC. When I was in DC, we became better friends despite the distance. Over the years we have gone through so much together and I am glad that we have grown together. I know that when we are old and senile we will be in the same nursing home together fighting about stupid things just like we do now and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Spring Storms

Big tornadic supercell storms to the west means beautiful skyline for us. I was grateful because I am deathly afraid of tornadic storms. Between the months of March through May, I am hooked to the weather especially if there is rain in the forecast. I'm not sure when my fear of tornadoes got so obsessively bad, but after last year's horrible storm (the one where my bed was shaking due to a possible funnel outside my apt during the night) and the previous year's dash against the possibility of a funnel cloud, I am crazy during severe storms. Honestly, its not like I have a basement to hide in if something were to happen, but I still freak out and I will stay glued to the tv till I know the threat has passed.

Either way, the sky was an unusual color Friday night. I ran up to the top of the parking garage to take a few shots and this one was my absolute favorite.

Member Appreciation Day

Last week we held member appreciation day at the branch. We grilled hot dogs, gave away prizes, and showcased many of the cars we have for sale. At the end of day we sold 4 cars and made tons of members happy. I had a great time at the event.
