Life After College

Sorry everyone for waiting so long to post another blog, things have been rather busy. First of all I would like to announce that we did get a second car, a cute little fuel efficient one. So now my hubby and I no longer have the excuse of not being able to go somewhere or do something for lack of a vehicle.

Secondly, we signed on a house!!! Yes, however it is not built yet… It’s a little cookie-cutter house in a nice neighborhood, about 1400 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths plus an office with an attached two car garage. The price was perfect, and since we signed, the price of that floor plan has already gone up. It will be August or September before the house is completely finished and move-in ready, but that works great for us because we can’t close until then anyway. We have an appointment for tomorrow to go in to their design center and pick all the colors for the house, we’re so excited!!

Also, once the house is built and we have our stuff moved in, we’re going to get my husband’s family’s dog and bring him down to live with us. We’ll have more yard and more space for him to run around in, plus I’ll get to spoil him a bit.

I’m still working for the gun store, but recently someone asked me if Planned Parenthood would work with my major, and though I for some reason had never thought about it, it certainly would! So this Wednesday (tomorrow) I have an interview for a volunteer position, which may lead into a career path eventually, which would be really awesome! But here in a couple weeks I am also going to be taking on a roofing project with my mother’s boyfriend, and I’m really excited for that! Everyone keeps telling me it’s really hard work, but I’ve never shied away from physical labor, plus the pay is excellent, I can’t wait to learn something new!

My husband is still LOVING his job at the pawn store, and everyone there loves him. I have to admit, I’m a bit jealous of how much he loves to work there. If they hired spouses I’d work there! He had an interview with the sheriff’s department a couple weeks ago, and they told him to call back to find out his place on their roster, but he hasn’t had time to do that yet, so we don’t know how he fared.

Anyway, I have lots of projects for this summer. We have to obtain fencing for our building house, reupholster a couple antique chairs, fix a little bookcase and finish refinishing my mother’s table and chairs. I only have one chair left to do, then the table, which will hopefully be easier and go faster than the chairs I’ve been working on.

Other than that I don’t have much else to say. Things are going well, we’re excited for our house, and we’re going to continue being busy, which is good. Oh yes, and I should add, I beat Skyrim before my husband hehehehe. Alright, well that’s all for now folks. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, critiques or anything like that! Thank you for reading!! You’re Awesome!!
