Working on working

Spent pretty much the whole day working on my resume. I finished it late this afternoon and am getting ready to send it out tomorrow to all the jobs I have found so far. It's still early in the game though so if you know of any opportunities, there's still time to let me know. I'm open.

Kat and Schuck came over tonight (not together though) and hung out with us. Schuck brought barbeque and played video games with Andrew. Kat wants me to start training with her to run half marathon in Memphis in December but I am still debating on whether or not I want to commit to that.

Everything's changing

Had a rough day today. Got some news that hurt. Had some pressure put on me and I am going to have to make some pretty hard decisions really quickly. I don't know how much I'm allowed to say. I can say that I am back on the job market and looking for a new job. So, if any of you hear anything, let me know. And we would be completely open to relocating to St. Louis at this time. It seems like the perfect opportunity -- just saying.

We have been trying to eat really healthy lately -- lots of fruits and oats. We're just trying to be healthier individuals. So far, it's pretty easy and we are enjoying our new diet. We'll let you know how it progresses.

Sunday Sunday

Woke up in the wee morning hours to loud thunder and power outages which made me cuddle a little closer to Andrew, pull the covers over my head, and wish for it to be over soon. I can sleep when it's raining --I actually prefer it -- but thunderstorms are not my friend. Even Tillie sought refuge under the covers.

Andrew woke up early and headed off to a long day of work. I woke up later and met my parents, Tyler, and Rachel for breakfast. Then we headed back to finish off the rest of the fireworks from yesterday. And I got to share some of our funny pictures from the trip with Tyler and he really enjoyed them.

For dinner we went to Applebee's and used the gift card we had won earlier in the week. But we hardly ate any of it. I think I might have eaten one chicken strip. The leftovers are still sitting in our fridge. They've been there, untouched for a few hours now. And in this house, that's a record. We've been drinking a lot of milk lately and it has left us feeling pretty full all day.

I've been rereading the 6th Harry Potter book in anticipation of the new movie coming out in a few weeks. And we rented the video game but I already beat it yesterday.

Nothing else newsworthy to report unless you count grocery shopping, getting gas, and watering plants interesting.

Oh, but Andrew is unable to locate his phone at the moment. If you need him, call me.

Happy Independence Day!

"Saturday in the park, think it was the fourth of July."

Happy 4th of July!

Today we woke up, lazed around, got some lunch, and then headed over to my parents' house for a cookout. We had ribs, potato salad, mac & cheese, homemade bread, and strawberries and watermelon. It was delicious. Then we went outside to set off a few fireworks before heading off to watch the city's fireworks. They were pretty good. After those fireworks, we came back and shot off some more fireworks in the street. Fun!

Hope everyone had as much fun as we did.

nothing to do is nice sometimes

Andrew got sent home this morning because they were not busy enough so we got to spend the entire day together. We hung out at home, had lunch @ Chilis, spent some time with Tyler, had dinner with Schuck, and now we are all back at our apartment and the boys (and Tillie) are on the couch playing video games. It's been a pretty nice, laid back day. I wish we had more of these.

I have started reading the 6th Harry Potter book again so it can be fresh in my mind before the new movie comes out in a few weeks. It's a pretty good book. If you haven't read it yet, I encourage you to do so. As Nolan would say, "Try it, you'll like it."

We are missing Cork badly, FYI.

This is my Friday

Today was my last day of work before the holiday weekend. Nice. My boss and I met Andrew & Tyler for lunch and had a blast. And I got a new bathroom scale. And then I got to go home early. We rented the new Harry Potter video game and paid a quick visit to Kat at work. Then we got a few fresh veggies and meat for dinner. It was a very good dinner.

Tonight is like my Friday night and I am going to spend it cuddling with Tillie and Andrew and then I am going to bed incredibly early.

Watch this video of Tillie. She is adorable. We love spending time just sitting around watching her. Now you will too.

Happy July!

Sorry, I missed the posting time for this by about 30 minutes. But this is going to be about Wednesday, July 1, so just pretend midnight never happened.

Andrew and I got home from work and had dinner and then went by my parents' house and gave Tyler his presents. He didn't seem too excited about the hurling jersey but seemed interested in the prospect of having a hurling stick. And he really liked all the foreign currency we brought him back. And he seemed really excited to see the pictures we took of castles and mummified animals and hear all the stories associated with those pictures. He and Andrew will have fun spending the day together tomorrow.

Then later, Andrew and I went to West End for a farewell celebration for his boss. Is was crazy and loud but fun. We won gift certificates to Applebees and P.F. Chang's for door prizes. And we got some good baking advice from the pastry chef. Andrew has a Guinness and said it was terrible. Kevin, just so you know, Andrew said he will probably never drink a Guinness over here again. He is officially spoiled.

We're tired. It's after midnight. And I have a big day at work tomorrow.
