Good News & Bad News
We have had a fantastic, busy last three days.
First and foremost, my hubby was hired Friday, on the day his internship ended, for a full time job! What a blessing. The restaurant is well known, but smaller, so we thought the chances were slim to none of him getting hired now (we thought maybe they'd call him in the future). I am so proud of my hardworking man.
When I got off of work Friday night, we headed about 80 miles south to go visit family and friends for the weekend. My husband's parents and grandparents all live there as well as many of our friends. Stephen had a "dude night" while I enjoyed night out with my college roommate {of 4 years}. It was a fun time. My roommate and I went to two of our favorite bars and had some yummy cocktails!
Saturday morning, I woke up to find a text from my husband that said something like "I am up, come get me asap so we can go see my grandparents." Great, I woke up a few minutes later, hopped in the shower, and was on my way to get him. Except not. I backed out of the parking space I was in and turned to go down the hill. As I went down, all I heard was a "thump, thump, thump." Great, I have heard that before with my previous car. I had a flat. NOT a fun surprise. There was a lady outside smoking who watched my face as I realized I had a flat, and she also watched me get out and assess the situation, in which I immediately responded with "crap". I didn't want to wait for AAA to arrive, so my roommate kindly took me to pick up Stephen who was able to put the spare on. Once the tire was off, we saw a nail shoved all the way inside the tire. That was the problem. Luckily, Les Schwab is a life saver and fixed it for free since I had their tires! That was the best part of the bad situation- a free fix.
It was hard to capture a picture that actually looked accurate. The whole bottom part of the tire was flat.
Anyways, it is fixed, and just like new.
The rest of the weekend we spent with his dad and family. We hung up, chit chatted, and went to happy hour. It was much needed and great to see everyone. We stayed the night at his mom's house and went to his sisters soccer game- it was at 9:20 PM. Late game but we enjoyed it.
We were able to shop around some of our favorite stores in town and do the things we enjoyed doing them we lived there.
I'd say the weekend was a success. Hope you all have a great week!

It's OK Thursday
It's OK...
...that I planned all week to enjoy this beautiful, sunny day at the zoo with the girls I nanny for...and I couldn't be happier that we did!
...that all my free time is wrapped up working on my current project: our wedding scrapbook. See a picture of one of the layouts here.
...to feel bad for my sister who fell off a horse during her lesson this week and got a concussion. Ouch! And apparently studies have shown that thinking too much while healing from a concussion can cause permanent damage. Therefore, it may be two weeks before she can attend school full days again and she isn't allowed to take any tests. Odd!
...to be so proud of my husband who finishes his internship for culinary school tomorrow!!!!
...to be happy that we haven't had to cook much this week because we have either had salads (easy) or the chili I made in the crock pot (so simple).
...to really, really want the Breaking Dawn part 1 soundtrack.
...that I am annoyed with this season of the Bachelor. Ben has really been bugging me and the fact that he likes someone like Courtney? Don't even get me started...
Tomorrow is Friday! Yay!

It's OK Thursday 3/1
It's OK...
...that I am addicted to Scramble with Friends. Really, I am.
...to be excited to see all of the creations linked up at From Scratch Friday tomorrow!
...to be frustrated about the cold I have just come down with. I've stayed healthy all winter for the most part. I don't like this sore throat and sinus pressure one bit.
...that I love all the baking and cooking my hubby and I do together. My sis-in-law and her boyfriend came over for a yummy dinner last night that included the most amazing garlic bread sticks. Whoa yum. It's so nice to hardly buy any bread products anymore (ok, minus some hoagie rolls only because we don't have the right mold). But we make a loaf of bread weekly, pita bread, bread sticks, etc! Seriously awesome.
...to be annoyed with our upstairs neighbors. They do not sleep. They are awake all night and most of the day. Always home, always up. They make so much noise at night, and on Tuesday night they woke me up at 3:30 am and I wasn't able to go back to sleep (they were being too loud!). I called the apartment manager a couple weeks back when they were partying all night with friends on a Sunday night but it hasn't stopped. It needs to, though.
...that I am so excited/proud/happy for my husband who is about to finish up his culinary internship. It ends next week and then he just has a couple of English classes that end like May 4. His graduation is April 7, though, a few weeks before he finishes. I am a proud wifey!
...to always be ready for the weekend.
Happy Thursday Everyone!
