Another Year Older

Another birthday has come and gone. It's weird how the older you get the less exciting your birthday becomes. Not to say I had a bad birthday because I didn't. It was very nice Mike and I went to Chilis for dinner with a couple from his work and he bought me my favorite Red Velvet cake. I spent most of the day talking on the phone with people who called to wish me a happy birthday which made me happy. Very grateful to have good friends and family. So all in all it was a good day. That friday Mike and I went to hangout with a group of people our age from his work which was nice. Not the same as being with my friends but maybe someday it will be. Either way it was nice to hangout with people our age . Then we went and looked at some houses on Sunday. Not serious looking but it's still fun. I didnt see aything that I really liked but Mike was pretty pleased with one of the houses. Today I went for a sub position at the Texarkana Arkansa School District. Not sure if it will work out but we will see. Just hoping for a job somewhere anywhere at this point. The weather is also crazy here this week it went from 90s down to 73 today and rainy. Although I know we need the rain I wish it would just do it at night. I dont mind the 73 though. Thats nice. Well nothing else to report right now off to bed for me.

No longer a NY driver

Hello!! So its official I am no longer a NY driver. Last week we went and got our TX plates and I got my TX drivers license well sorta anyways. Could be 60 days before I actually get the real one. So in the mean time I have to carry around two pieces of paper one being my temporary TX license the other a photocopy of my NY one that they took from me. It was very hard to give that away. Kinda sad really especially since I didn't mind the picture on the NY one. Who knows what this new one will look like since they don't let you see it. Wont that be a nice surprise. Other than that nothing super new. This past weekend we went to a near by lake to check it out. Unfortunately it will not be anything you will see me and Mike swimming in. We also stopped at the dam were I saw the most fish I have ever seen in my life. Mike wants to go fishing there very very badly. I however wasn't as thrilled. It was sooooo smelly and there were flies everywhere. I will not be going back. Sorry Mikey. After we decided to go check out some of the new houses they are building in our area. We even got to go in one and check it out. Always a bad idea. Makes you want a new house very very bad. Someday hopefully we will have one. No rush though. The weather has cooled off alittle bit which is nice. Today its only 85 out which is a nice change. It's funny because it doesnt feel hot at all. I guess once you get use to it being in the high 90s anything in the 80s feels comfortable. Well thats all for now.

Another HOT week

Hello! I thought I would post a quick update of how things are going in good old Texarkana. Nothing super exciting going on here. The weather has been crazy hot lately and everyone keeps reminding us that it's only gonna get hotter. Today topped out at 102 degrees and that was without the heat index. CRAZY!!! It seems like everyday we have a heat advisory. I guess it's just something I'll have to get use to. I just feel bad for poor Michael working at the mill where its twice as hot. Mike got to go out with a group of people from work friday and had a great time however made sure to mention that it was nowhere near as fun as hanging out with his friends from school. My dad also had his surgury on friday to have all his toes removed on his right foot. He seems to be doing well but is in quite a bit of pain still. Looks like he wont be going home till almost August. We also finally got the SAAB registered for the state of Texas. Now we fit in and no one will be able to say those damn yankees. Shockingly our Texas plates look very similar to the New York ones. Tomorrow I go to get my license. Hoping my picture comes out ok and that they wont take my NY license from me even though I am pretty sure they are going to :( I have started applying for jobs and am hoping it wont be long before I actually get one. Well that's all for now hopefully will have something more exciting to say soon. Night y'all

A few more wedding pictures

So everyone keeps asking to see more wedding pictures. I'm not going to post a lot of them because well there is just way to many for one and I am not as proud of them as I would like to be. I am disappointed in my work that I did. I am now going through them again to see if there are any that I missed. Nothing else really that's new. We are almost done switching the car over to no longer be a New York car :( I am hoping tomorrow to officially start the job search. It is not looking like there is to much out there right now. Hopefully I'll get lucky though. I am sick of not having any money, but aren't we all. So other than that nothing happening here in good old Texarkana. Maybe this weekend we will do something fun and I'll have something to report on Monday.

Cars and Grills

Finally after a long awaited time Mikes company car came on Monday!!!!!! Now all that's left is the is the long pain in the butt process of switching our cars and everything over to Texas. Hopefully tomorrow I will get most of it taken care of while Mikes at work. Also Mike finally picked out a grill this weekend!!! Thanks to his aunt and uncle who gave him money towards one he was able to get one he really liked and will definitely get a lot of use out of. Now all that's left is getting me a job. I'm hoping I get lucky and find one ASAP. Lets keep our fingers crossed for that one. I finally finished the wedding pictures! Only took me a month and a half almost. Not super pleased with them and think I could have done better but lesson learned I guess. It's a start. I just wish I had something better to give them then what I have. Oh well though. My Dad is doing well I hear however Friday he goes in for another surgery to have all his toes on his right foot removed. A bit of a bummer but I guess we should be thank full it isn't anything worse. wont be more than another week after that he should be flying home. Now that will be interesting considering he has never flown and now he will be doing it alone. Well that's all for now got to go check on Mikes banana bread. Hope it comes out ok.

Downtown and the Boardwalk

Just a quick update. Finally getting out of the house a little bit. YAY!!! Thursday night Mike and I went downtown with the intern from his work to a Mexican restaurant and then a local bar. Shocking to me I didnt mind the bar that much. They had a live ban that was actually pretty good. Nothing like the bars in Syracuse. Today we went to Shreveport Louisiana to get Mikes car from the shop and on our way home we stopped at the Louisiana Boardwalk which was interesting. Unfortunatly it was extremely hot. 100 degrees to be exact. Well I'd say more but after walking around in the heat all day I'm super tired. Night y'all
