Well it's been another crazy week here in the new town! I think I'm actually starting to enjoy myself here. Lee took off this past friday and monday so that we could have a long weekend together. ORIGINALLY we were supposed to go to Georgia. Why you ask? WELL I was keeping it a secret due to the fact that we didn't know if we were going to be going or not until the last minute! A few months back I got tickets to see Jon and Kate Gosselin speak live. I was going to also get to meet them and have my picture taken and book signed. Due to Lee being laid off and our money situation we kinda got cheated out of a few oppertunities..John's concert in NYC and now Jon and Kate. I was really looking forward to it. Here are my precious unused tickets.. :(
I'll use them as my bookmark in the book :)I haven't been a huge fan of the show lately. Ever since they moved its been focusing more on their house..and not so much the kids. I still LOVE them don't get me wrong..but the show is losing its juice. I say if there IS another season..it'll be the last. The sextuplets will be 5 in May and starting Kindegarten in September. I'm sure the fabulous people at TLC will update us throughout the years and we're sure to hear about Hannah's first DUI. haha. Also, I receieved an e-mail last week that Jon would not be appearing with Kate..he cancelled. HMMM? But, I was still excited to go and hear just Kate..she is the mom I strive to be (that is with the orgainzation and the love she has for her children..and the OCD cleanliness!) haha..wait thats me already! We were also going to do the Paula Deen tour and spend a day or two in Savannah...It's ok though..I really enjoyed spending time with my future husband this weekend! I think Lee did feel bad though and we actually managed to get out of town and spend the day in Nags Head! (AWESOME) more about that later :) It's kinda a let down but we know its for the best..for now. Lee will only be allowed one week of vacation this year with his new job so we've decided to spend it wisely. We will either be going to Minnesota in the summertime to play at the lake house..OR da da da da..Lee's mom is getting married and wants us to come to the wedding..IN CANCUN! ok no plans have been officially made yet but I'll keep you updated..(crosses fingers!)
Ok so next is..employment. I've applied to a TON of jobs here (basically doing the same thing I was doing in Roanoke..in total about 30 jobs. I have not received even ONE phone call yet! I'm shocked..I know the job market is tough right now but there were a ton of jobs out there and I have 5+ yrs experience..so I'm starting to wonder! Please pray for me that I find something soon! Lee says we're fine but I hate depending on him..I like to have my own money..although it's still nice not to have to worry. So what am I spending my time doing? My top priority right now is to find a job. The apartment is also almost done..we've done most of our unpacking but I'm not quite finished..I plan on doing that today. In the meantime I'm going to focus on keeping a nice house for Lee..having dinner ready when he gets home and working out as much as possible..I've lost track with that. Since moving from Roanoke Lee and I have been eating out mostly since we hadn't gone grocery shopping. Yesterday I hit Kroger and went to town! It was nice to have a home-cooked meal! Saturday night we decided to have a date night together and went to PF Changs. I have been before but Lee hadn't. WELL...we were stopped in our tracks immediately when they said it was a 2 and a half hour wait..whoa! Ok i know its Sat night but come on! we decided to go across the street to Macaroni grill...2 and a half hour wait. Well we were starving and basically at that point I was ready to go to taco bell! The next closest restaurant was smokey bones. I LOVE SMOKEY BONES! I don't know why...I just think their food is amazing. they told us it was a one hour wait..we decided to wait it out..and guess how long we waited?? 5 mins! wtf? From now on I say we just take our chances and if all else fails head to the bar! We decided to save PF Changs and some of the other fun places for our visitors anyway :)
Sunday I wanted to drive around the area and scope out some of the back roads. I'm one of those people who has to really know my way around a place. I wanted it to feel like home. Now that I've sorta gotten the feel I really like the area..way more than I expected. When Lee first told me he wanted to take this job I was totally against it because I really hated this area. I had visited numerous friends in the area and was NOT impressed but I knew I had to do this for Lee. He loves his job and I'm really starting to like it here as well. So we took a nice Sunday drive and just happend to head towards the outer banks! it was a gorgeous day..slightly warm with a little breeze! We popped in at this GREAT restaurant..Mama Kwans.
It was a cute little tiki bar..and it was amazing! I swear I'm taking everyone down there just to eat at THIS restaurant. I ordered the specialty pasta and thought I was gonna die it was sooooo good. I'm going to try to make it but I know i wont be able to beat it! After that we headed to a fun beachy store and got a towel and some beers and headed down to the beach. It was pretty much secluded and it was awesome. We sat there for a long time and just soaked up some sun and watched the ocean. Virginia beach is so touristy and even though there are a few spots that arent so bad...nags head is obviously where its at!
AND its only a little over an hour away! We will be making a lot of day trips down there this summer for SURE! anyways..thats pretty much it for now..I'll keep everyone updated on the job search! lata :)
