crossing fingers
I am a stay at home mom... a stay at home doggy mom. Ridiculous, right? Now that we're all settled in to our new place, I am looking for a job. I have turned in some resumes at different places. A couple receptionist jobs (which I should at least stand a chance, I mean I spent five years of my life receptioning.) and I also applied at the Kohl's store, about ten minutes away. Honestly, I am really hoping to get a job at Kohl's. I never thought I really wanted to work in a department store, but it sort of sounds ideal. Of course there are employee discounts... but more than that: It will be enough to get me out, but I can also make sure I am keeping up with things around the house, have leisure time, and have personal time to work on some of my goals. I turned in an application with a cover letter and resume, so hopefully I will stand out among hundreds of people looking to make a few bucks. Anyway, we are keeping our fingers crossed that I will find a job, so I don't go completely crazy around the house.

nostalgia
So, its been awhile, but we finally have internet again. Wahoo!! I am excited to start blogging again, it is good for me. When I pulled up my blog today, I almost started to CRY. It made me realize how much I miss all of my friends from APX over the summer. These girls were a huge blessing to me over the summer. So many fun memories. There were many times I needed a friend, and these girls let me cry on their shoulders. I miss you all so very much and I hope we'll get to spend time together again. So, I hope its not totally ridiculous, but I LOVE YOU GALS!!!!

NYC
It was a day of fun, adventure, bargaining, walking, riding, eating, seeing, feeling, experiencing, bonding, friendship, doing, going, smiling, snapshooting, and LOVING.
We spent a day in New York City. It was only one day, but one of the best all summer. A bunch of us from APX crammed into two cars, then two hotel rooms, to spend a memorable day in the Big Apple. All in all, the day went without any problems. It did start raining in the evening, cutting out some things toward the end, but we still saw lots and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Favorite memory: cruising around Times Square with Greg, just taking it all in. And a close second place goes to Canal Street... watching Katie bargain her butt off!
Least favorite memory: the darn rain. It really was too bad. (and my cramps, TMI)
Funniest memory: Kindra saying to the black market guy when we wanted to look at purses in their basement "As long as you don't molest us we'll be okay."
Best traveling buddy: DEFINITELY my hubby. He stood by me and made everything more enjoyable.
What I wish we could've had time for: Rockefeller Center, Ellis Island, Serendipity III, some NYC pizza, Radio City Music Hall, a Broadway production, Sacs 5th Avenue, That one giant toy store, some real time in Central Park, the Chrysler Building. I'm afraid the list could go on and on. But for now, faretheewell New York City!

getaway
Last night Greg surprised me with a little overnight getaway to the Washington DC LDS temple!!!
He booked us a nice hotel for only $50.00 (because he is the REAL priceline negotiator)...the Crowne Plaza in Rockville, MD. The guy at the hotel said he hasn't ever seen a room go for so cheap. They are usually $170.00 on weeknights. So basically, we got a rockin deal. We left our apartment around 10:30, stopped for dinner at Bdubs (Buffalo Wild Wings, our favorite) and drove down to the hotel. It took about an hour and a half to get there, so we sank into our big bed (with very crappy pillows) around 12:30.
The plan was to get up very early, hit up a session at the temple, drive around DC and see a few things, and make it back for Greg to go to work today... FAIL. Next plan, wake up at 7:00 a.m. and only have time for the temple, and get back for work early... FAIL again. Third time is a charm. We slept in until 9:30 (with no puppies there to wake us earlier), grabbed some lunch at Chipotle, then went to a session, and finally made it home for Greg to go to work.

laughs
Laughter IS the best medicine... I don't care what anybody says. I found these videos from back when Greg and I were dating... totally childish and extremely hilarious (we thought), I love hearing us laugh and laugh and laugh! (oh, probably scroll to the bottom of my page and turn off the music)
