The past couple of days have been filled with lots of exciting news, or should I say babies! Last night we learned that Lyle and I are going to be an AUNT and UNCLE again! Lee & Sara are expecting their second child sometime in mid-to-late February. We can't wait to meet the newest addition to the Waters Clan! We are so excited for Lee, Sara and big brother Lucas!
We are also excited to announce another addition to the family but this time it's to the Emkes side. Kyle & Melissa had their first child on August 9th at 5:15pm. They named him John David (JD) Emkes. He weighed in at 9lbs, 2oz and he was 22in long. He is a beautiful, healthy and happy baby boy. The Emkes' are doing well.
Also, the wedding invitations have been mailed out. I am so glad to say this daunting task of remembering who to invite, finding addresses, putting the invites together and stamping them is OVER! This had to be the biggest job of the entire wedding process so far. It was not fun either. We constantly were going back and saying "did we remember to invite...???". Well, it's all over now and the fun stuff for the wedding begins :) Showers, programs, and preparing for the actual day, hooray!
This being said about the invites, I have to announce a personal PSA... If you receive an invite PLEASE send back the RSVP letting us know if you are coming or not. It's so helpful in determining seating arrangements, how much food and drink to buy and many, many other things. So, please send it back, or else you will be getting a friendly phone call from me sometime during the end of October :) I'm sure every bride goes through this, but I just have to say it. We really want each and every one of you to come to the wedding to help us celebrate. We hope you can all join us.

I love my job :)
At the end of March I took a new job as a Personal Banker at Busey in St. Joe. I have worked for Busey for a little over 3 years and prior to becoming a Personal Banker I was a Teller at a couple of different locations. For any of you who have worked as a Teller before, it is the most unglamerous, glamerous job you could ever work. Many people think that Tellers just get to sit around all day, dressed up and help the occasional customer that comes into the drive-thru or lobby. However, this is a common misconception. Tellers are the backbone of the banking world. NOTHING would happen without Tellers! They have to know how to do a little bit of everyone's job without getting paid to actually do the job. They also do a lot of other stuff that you would not expect them to do. This is why forever, and always the Teller position will hold a special place in my heart.
Now that I've given my shoutout to all the Tellers around the world, I can say I am very glad that I am not one anymore :) I moved up to a Banker position at our St. Joe office. Prior to working in St. Joe I worked at our Campus location. Let me tell you, I've never been so happy to be back in a small town. Working in St. Joe is great! I have a great group of coworkers who all help each other out and support each other, professionally and personally. I have never worked somewhere where a fellow coworker shares with me the trials and tribulations of their child, the depantsing bandit and how they are facing this issue head-on! I truely feel like I have a family at work. I also love all of my customers. It is nice to get to work at a place where people let me into their lives a little bit. Even if that little bit of their lives is telling me about their bowel movements for the past couple of days, I still enjoy it because I know that they trust me enough to discuss things with me.
On top of the great work environment and customers I have, I also really enjoy the small town itself. Currently, we are working on getting a parade float ready for the annual St. Joe Fall Festival taking place this weekend. Which I have to admit I am really excited about riding in :) No other associates in our organization get to ride a parade float, let alone a float made of tissue paper flowers and pipe cleaners. Come on, does it get much better than this?!?
Working in St. Joe has truely made me learn to appreciate the little things in life. We can only take one day at a time, so enjoy these days as they come and take them for what they are worth. Thank you for reading my little shoutout about my job. I hope you all enjoy your work as much as I do.
