I was promoted at the credit union. It's a fantastic and fun job. I'm underpaid and overworked, but I love it. Sad, though. The branch is closing. We'll all be moved throughout the county, and I have no idea yet where I'll end up. Things have been ultra crazy lately. So pictures have taken a sad backseat to life. :( I've only taken a few over the past few weeks. Simple ones. I'm a bad bad bad blogger!

Do you ♥ Faces? I sure do! I took this one of my sweet Kevyn. He has problems making eye contact, so this backlit beauty is extra special to me :)



Clicky clicky the linky below to smile lots at all of the cutie pies!
