getting away with it.
the new job is working out okay thus far, i like the girl i work with & i make my own schedule & i can take as long of a lunch as i like. the pay is good as is the flexibility. i don't have to wake up at 5:30 & it's only a 5 minute drive. amen.
chris & i are looking for places to live that have backyards (for the wee little 4-legged children we have) and are finding out that an apartment with a backyard is damn expensive. around a grand a month. i think that we've decided to do it though. we would enjoy a little backyard & so would the doggies. this has been rather stressful for both of us though & has actually caused us not to sleep very well. in the end i think whatever we decide will be the best choice.
i just got back from texas a&m to see my sister graduate. i'm very proud of her for sticking to things & getting her degree. the graduation itself was terrible & long & there were a thousand people there that stunk like you wouldn't know. it was weird seeing all my dad's side of the family that i haven't seen in over 5 years but i won't go into that now. our hotel was pretty nice, we had a side room so one of the walls was all curvy with huge windows all over. it inspired us to take a trip to austin soon just to get away from work, family, friends. alone time. and to tell you the truth, i can't wait.
