My New Job

March 06, 2013/ treanab

Today I went to my new job to visit and meet everyone in the office. I have never been more excited to get my actual career started. It's amazing how much people's energy just changes the entire dynamic of a workplace. You have no idea the financial and schedule freedom that is inherent in this job of mine. I also get the chance to spend a lot of time in DC if I so choose.Most importantly, I feel like this is a forever job- a job that is right where I want to be at exactly the right time. Bundles and rays of light are headed to the heavens in thanks. I am so blessed. I am also the example of how hard work can meet opportunity at just the right time.

Dream Job

November 19, 2012/ treanab

Today I got the phone call that I had convinced myself was never going to come: I got offered a job where I will be working with regulating national banks. In three years I have literally tripled my starting salary and will be doing work that is challenging and will help me grow as a lawyer and a person. It feels like I won the lottery and that my dreams are coming true... and that is because they are. I am so grateful and overwhelmed by the fact that over a thousand people competed for this job nationwide and I got it. They picked me. They believed in me and are giving me a chance to shine. It just doesn't seem real and I don't know when it will. I really feel relief and gratefulness. Sheer gratefulness.

Hey now. I'm Treana...welcome to my little slice of the internet where I get to use exclamation points with abandon!!! We do more here than overuse certain forms of punctuation. Around these parts you'll find DIY projects, budgeting ups and downs and tools, photography fun, food goodness, music loves, and hopefully a little inspiration. We talk about anything and everything here and hope that you'll join us in our mutual weirdness we call life. For more about us, our wedding, and our lives, visit the 'Bout the Bennetts page. (I so wanted to put an exclamation point there).

Oh well oh well oh well-a. Huh! Those summer nights. #youdownwithlmb

He’s just the lesson on loving your kiddo so so well and that life and parenting are forever tries. The things he’s taught her can be summed up into... everything. #youdownwithlmb #lmbanddada @robrich23

No justice, no peace. I’ve basically been unable to post or think about much else. Enough is enough. #defundthepolice #endsystemicracism

She’s my hero. #youdownwithlmb

I never understood that all kids are miracles when I was growing up. I didn’t have parents who... well any of it. And yet, I never really feared becoming a parent because I was going to do it better (have you met me?). And then God gave me this miracle. This force of a human. This incredibly hilarious, loving, strong, gorgeous miracle. We’ve been trying to give her a sibling for on and off two years now while still doing it “better”. So here’s what I know for sure this Mother’s Day: love yourself no matter how you became a mom. Love how you parent from a place of love and forever tries. If you’re lucky enough to have a mom who loved you, the best she could, try to love her for that too. Love those miracles you’ve got. And rest today in the knowledge that you just are doing it better— own that. Happy Mother’s Day to all. If you can’t get to happy today, you’re good sis. Get off the social media and get some good air into those lungs— Mother’s Day is hard. I see you.

Scenes from quarantine. We’ve hit two weeks here folks. Thanks to their daily walks, Lyla and daddy are doing great. This is a lot of family/at home time and it’s hard. #itsgettingchippy #stayhome #covid_19 #youdownwithlmb

It’s taken a week for me to be okay posting about our vacation to Mexico. What was supposed to be a relaxing, family filled trip, was a giant stressball. The resort we actually stayed at was an absolute nightmare... and not a resort. What matters though is that Lyla had a blast and keeps asking when we can go to Mexico again. #youdownwithlmb

A simply excellent weekend with seeing my favorite humans everyday. #youdownwithlmb @lwbranz @adambranz

My physical TBR/to be finished pile is ummmmm... a lot. I’ve gotten off to a nice slow reading start with only 4 books done in the new year. I’m listening to Know My Name and it should be required listening for all High schoolers. It’s very triggering in large and small ways for me, but it’s so important to know her name and her story. @chanelmillerknowmyname @ashleyspivey #spiveys📚club

Friends and adventures and celebrations this weekend. #joy #youdownwithlmb
