Well- We're one week closer to moving into the house. Yay! I know I'm ready to get the moving process going. I need something, ANYTHING,to do. Stress is kicking in pretty bad for me, and I'm trying really hard to keep it at bay. I send out resumes a few times a week, but no bite. Guess that's to be expected during these trying times. I've caught up on a lot of tv shows that I missed out on since leaving California.

Jon and I have also been meeting up with his friend, John, and John's wife, Ashley. I really enjoy hanging out with them. They reminded me of Jon and me. They rag on each other the same way, they guys act the same and Ashley and I act the same. They'll be moving closer to us soon, so we'll be able to hang out more often.

Jon and I worked on his truck on Sunday. Yes, even I got my hands in on the mechanic stuff. I also got a face full of gear oil. That does not smell good at all. AND- the smell does not get out of clothes well, either. I can't wait to have our own washer and dryer to use. It should take the smell of the oil out. This weekend is going to be dedicated to things I want to do. I'll have to look up things to do. Maybe we'll go bowling or go to a museum or something.

Anywho- I need to fold our laundry. Til next time

Another "home"

Well- Yesterday Jon and I left Frank's house and moved into an extended stay hotel for the final 2.5 weeks before the closing. We got up at 630, packed up our vehicles, and got to the hotel at around 8. After moving things into the hotel we got breakfast and went BACK to Richlands to get Jon's bike. We dropped that off at the storage bin and toured around Wilmington for a bit. We went to Harris Teeter's, which is a really kick ass food mart. They have EVERY brand you can imagine. They do wine tastings in the store! Crazy! After that we went to a bistro next door and the food was super good. Definitely taking the parental units there when they come to visit. After that we stopped at a motorcycle place, but found nothing. We picked up my glasses and made our way to Costco since we couldn't find my contacts. Got lost along the way and ended up at a Petco. They had the coolest Saint Bernard! No, we didn't walk away with him. Found Costco and did our thing there. After that we went to Lowe's. We left Lowe's with an order for a steam washer, steam dryer, two pedestals, five year full warranty, free delivery and free install for less than $2600! We're pretty stoked. Then we got dinner at an Italian Pub near the hotel, which was a neat little place with good food. We came back to the hotel, showered, and crawled into bed.

Today we have our separate things to do. Jon needs to get a haircut and pick up his uniform for the ball. I need to get my eyebrows and nails done. Guess we should get our butts in gear and grab some breakfast so we can start our day.

Til next time...
