Work has been CRAZY the past few weeks with all the negative activity in the market. People calling constantly, and on top of that-we have also done a few seminars and a training for other agents...needless to say I have been super busy. I love being busy though, it is much better than having nothing to do. My boss is leaving today to speak at a convention in Kansas City until Friday. The timing of this trip is perfect, because I have a lot to do in his absence. Hope I can complete my to-do list before he comes back on Monday!
...now I am done with my blogging break, and back to work!

Gator Football Pictures :)
The crowd parted and there was my friends Libby and Ashleigh! So random to run into them in a crowd of 90,000 Gator Fans!
This is me and Curtis before our hike to the stadium for the Miami game. I love this picture because it accurately describes our personalities!
I love Jessie Burgess and she loves Gator Football, this is one reason why we get along so well :)

...so it's been awhile
I just realized this week how long it has been since my last blog post. I guess between everything going on with work, school and church I just never thought about it!
Speaking of work: We have been super busy the past few weeks with almost all of our clients calling daily FREAKING our because of the market. Yeah, the market has really made my job harder the last week or so. I understand every one's concern with their IRA's and investments, but really there is not much we can do other than move your money to a fixed account. However, no one seems to like this option because then they are not going to make any money, but they are guarantees a certain interest rate-a low one. So basically, everyday we are fighting with senior citizens that have worked their entire lives for this money and are not being faced with the threat of loosing it or parts of it due to a falling economy.
School is another story! I started my internship with Libby a few weeks ago doing mostly Family Law in Orange Park, and that is going really well to date. We have both been really busy with our lives so we have not gotten to spend much time together, but working together one day a week gives us an opportunity to catch up on each others lives :) Plus, I get to learn at the same time!
Church is great! I starting going to Southpoint Community Church several weeks ago, and have really enjoyed it. We just finished a series called 'One Month to Live" which was outstanding, and this week a new 4 week series is starting that is based on the Rocky movies. The church is great and I am meeting new people there every time I go. One of my best friends Ben goes there, so he has been able to introduce me to some people. Also, I have been getting involved with a non-profit organization/ministry that was started by a guy at SCC; Chance Craven. The organization is called itsChance, and I encourage you to check the website or myspace to see everything this organization stands for. www.itsChance.com and www.myspace.com/itsChance I am sure you will be motivated and encouraged to make a change and advance the kingdom of Christ!
That is really all the recent happenings in my life since my last posting. Oh, well I have to mention Gator Football! The season finally started with a game against Hawaii. It rained, and there was no escaping the water so we were all soaking wet the entire time! We kicked off tailgating for the Miami game (also a Win!!!) which was great! I will try and post some recent pictures for you to enjoy!
In Him,
Em
