Hey everyone!
First I just want to thank God for this move. As much as I miss Roanoke, I really needed to get away from home. It's so refreshing! As far as jobs go I did get a phone call for an interview this week! I don't really know my way around yet and when the women called me she said that wasnt sure if I was aware that the job was in Oyster Bay. I said ok that's fine. WELL apparently thats about an hour commute for me and back towards Hampton Roads and through the tunnel...yeah you definetly don't want to have to go through the tunnel during rush hour. It can take you around 2 hours..so she said she'd love to go ahead and interview me but knowing where I live she said it's probably best that I didn't because I wouldn't want that drive. And, I agreed. Oh well...I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Friday night, Lee and I were given free tickets to the hockey game. We figured since it was the last game and our tickets were free..why not? We decided to go to dinner first so we headed off to the Macaroni Grill! Yummmmmmo! It was fantastic. I don't know what it is, but I love sharing a nice dinner with him..it's just a good feeling. After dinner, our bellies were so full we could hardly move and it was POURING down rain so we decided not to head to the hockey game. Instead we went to this great place called Total Wine near our house. It's an incredible store...there was so much wine, I didn't know where to start. They also had kegs and tons of beer..lots of wine/beer accessories. So of course we got a bottle of wine and were about to head home but NOT before we stopped at Borders! There's nothing I like more on a cold rainy night then spending my time in a cozy bookstore. I love the smell of bookstores! I purchased a couple of books and a gift for one of my bridesmaids and we headed home. We started watching Role Models and it was hilarious but we both fell asleep...and folks..we fell asleep before 10. What are we 50? at 10:45 we couldn't take it anymore and headed up to bed..good grief!!
The next day was spent running errands, doing laundry and enjoying the pleasure of each other's company. We even sat down and did a 100 question test about how well you know your bride and how well you know your groom. It was CRAZY how well we knew each other...we got the weirdest answers right...That dissolved about an hour of our time and it was so much fun. Later that night I headed off to the movie store and rented Bolt! I love disney movies! It was a good one :) We drank some wine and then continued to plant our tushes on the couch with Pearl Harbor before heading to bed. We actually planned on going to bed early Saturday night because we were going to try out a new church the next morning!
Go figure that the next morning we woke up exhausted. I almost went back to bed but decided against it..we really needed to go to church. I got up and ironed our clothes and got ready to go. YES ironed! I hardly ever do that anymore and I enjoyed it! We got to the church a few mins early and headed up to the first couple of rows. We LOVED it. Water's edge church is affiliated with the Church of God in Anderson, Indiana and is a sister church to my church in Roanoke. It's not too big, and not too small just the way I like it. I love having a good church family. And this church (as opposed to my other church) has a ton of young people, inluding my friend, Seth and his wife, Julie! We didn't see them yesterday but I know Seth was busy finishing up his surgical rotations and Julie just got back from PA so maybe next week! Right now the church is currently looking for a permanent pastor. Yesterday the guest speaker was awesome. Little did we know that the church was actually having a business meeting after to vote on if the wanted to hire him full time..I'm not sure of the results yet! He did an exellent job and his message about grace was inspiring. Even Lee shed a little tear! I hope he gets the job! After church, we went to PF Changs for lunch..yummy again. Then we headed over to Norfolk to check out the downtown area. I've heard of a few cool places to go out down there and I wanted to get the scoop. We almost went to the zoo but decided to save it for another weekend! It was beautiful here yesterday! 80 degrees! I was so excited..its weird stepping outside and even being 3 miles away, smelling the ocean and feeling the breeze. LOVE it! After a private tour of Norfolk we headed back to the beach and Lee bought me some tanning sessions for my birthday..yes i know its bad but I'm going to Cancun so I gotta get some bronze goin' on! and YES my birthday is this Saturday! I'm so excited..and i canNOT believe I'm going to be 24!! Hope is coming down here Wednesday to spend a few days with me for my birthday! Thank God for good friends! I sure do have a LOT to be thankful for....hope everyone has a wonderful week!
