Fall Updates

               Wow. It has been 20 days since my last post. A busy girl I have been. Let's see...Travis made his first big land sale. We were THRILLED! It was his first listed property. 166 acres in Lindale, TX. God provided right when we really needed it. Thanks God! My parents came up to Tyler 2 weekends ago. That was a lot of fun getting to see them and hang out. My Papabear bought Travis his very own "Landman" cowboy hat. Travis couldn't be more proud. It's a beautiful dark brown Stetson. Looks great on my Landman I must say. The past 3 weeks has been filled with Ranger Baseball. We watched every game in both the American League Championship games and the World Series. We were sad when the Rangers couldn't pull out the win, but they played great and came a far way. We will get them next year boys! Work is still going great. I am getting the hang of things pretty well now. I still have my insurance questions though. On Halloween day (Monday) all the staff is dressing up. I am excited to see how creative everyone is! I will have to put some pictures up. I am getting so excited for the Holidays. I cannot believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner. So insane how fast this year has gone. It seems like it was just last month that Travis and I got engaged. It's crazy to think it will be a full year since the engagement on December 20th.  Hmmm...what else...Oh! I made a fall wreath! It is very cute! I made it with fabric roses. Very adorbs. I also panted an "H" on a pumpkin. Of course for the Heim's. :)  I think that's it for now. That was a lot of updates in one post. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Fall!

Until then,

Freedom

Praise the Lord!
A little extra freedom! This 3 day weekend is very welcome at this time.


Excited about having an extra day off this week!

Headed to Fort Worth today! Gotta love the extra family time.

Until then,

Whirlwind

        This past week has been so busy for the Heim's. I of course started my new job. It is difficult getting into the swing of things. Going to bed early so that I can get up early enough to make it to work on time has been hard, but we are getting good at it. One week down! On Thursday, I got to observe 2 of the doctors with patients for a couple of hours each. That was really neat. One of the doctors is a peds doc, so I got to see him examine several little ones. Very precious. The other doctor I observed mostly saw older people, that had some serious issues with their eyes. It was awesome to get to see both in action. I believe tomorrow I am going to be observing Heaton himself. I am a little nervous because I also have to watch some eye surgeries this coming week. I hope I can hold myself together! I'm just a receptionist! But I think this will help me to understand what our patients are really going through. In the end I know I will benefit. Friday I was able to assist at the front desk as best I could. I just greeted patients and got them to sign in and checked if they had any paperwork to fill out, and took their insurance. I don't know anything about the computer systems yet, so I couldn't actually check them in the system. I think I start to learn all that goodness later on this week!
        Travis went to Fort Worth in the early afternoon on Friday to help his Momma with a couple of catering jobs she had lined up this weekend. I of course was still at work till 5, but the good news is that my Mom drove up to Tyler and picked me up from work! We had a fun evening. We went to dinner at Chuy's Mexican restaurant and then back home to hang out and watch a movie. Fun girl time.
        On Saturday morning, her and I drove to Lufkin (where my Grandfather's house is) to pick up a dresser for Travis. The one we got is adorable. It is a teal color with cute handles. I will put some pictures up of it when I get a chance. Also, we got a wooden chair and it's seat cushion is a teal color as well.  We went to some really cute antique malls in old downtown Lufkin. So many wonderful little things to look at. We had a fun time!
        After our adventures it was back to Fort Worth. My mom dropped me off at Travis' Grandparents house where we ate hamburgers and watched some football. His Grandparents are moving and down sizing, so they had pulled aside some clothes and home decor for me to look at. It was very generous for them to do that for us. We got some good Christmas decorations! Now I am reallllly looking forward for some cooler weather and putting up our very own Christmas decorations!
        It has been a fun weekend! We will be heading back to Tyler later on tonight. Back to work tomorrow!
         Hope everyone has had a great weekend! Happy Sunday!


Until then,

First day

Today was my first day on the job! I really enjoyed it. It was perhaps a tad bit boring filling out paperwork and watching training videos from the 90's, but overall it was a great day. I arrived at Heaton at 9:30am and immediately started filling out papers. I then went on a tour of the building with a delightful lady name Patty who was just adorable. She has worked for Heaton for 23 years. I really liked her. I was happy to be able to walk about and learn my whereabouts because that place is kinda like a maze to me.  I got to meet a lot of the techs, nurses, and even 2 of the doctors that were in today. They were both very nice. One doctor brought me into his office to show me a picture of his daughter who is also named Emma. I thought that was cute. After the tour I was lead into my very own conference room where I began to watch videos.  I finished 3 videos and it was time for lunch. I was a little nervous about lunch, because I didn't know any of the ladies very well and I was planning on eating my lunch in the kitchen. It turned out to be okay though, there was a lot of techs and nurses I sat and chatted with. Following lunch I was put back into the conference room and watched a series of videos that were an hour each along with a workbook.
       Overall, it was a great day. I am very honored that I was selected to work for Heaton. Everyone already knew my name and that I was starting to work today. I felt very welcomed.  Can't wait to see how the rest of the week turns out!
       Tonight Travis and I are going to a concert/picnic for RUF on campus. With FREE pizza! Sweet words to a new wife. haha. It will be great to see our friends that we haven't seen in awhile.
        Thanks for your prayers! The first day was great!

Until then,
