No Peanuts and B please...

As I sit here with my Irish breakfast tea and english muffin with pumpkin butter (I love pumpkin butter), I am thinking about the adventures of yesterday. Rachel and I went to the pool out at The Landing yesterday. It was so nice to be able to chill out by the pool and relax, it is really starting to feel like summer! Rachel had to go to work so she had to leave before it really felt good outside but, there will be other days. After lunch I stayed out at the pool for about an hour and a half where I proceeded to get mildly sun burnt.

After Rach got off work we went to eat Thai food with Chris, Amanda, and Lily at the Thai Kitchen. None of us had ever had Thai food before so it was a new adventure for us all. We tried to play it safe and if I could spell what I ordered I would write it down but I cannot so I will attempt to describe it. It has noodles with chicken, peppers, crushed peanuts, and type A spicy sauce. FYI: Sauce runs from A-E, A being the least spicy. It was pretty good but, the sauce was a little too sweet and the crushed peanuts throughout the entree threw me off a bit. So, basically I said all of that so that I could tell you if I ever eat Thai food again I will remember to ask for no peanuts and B sauce.

After supper we went back to the Avery's house to watch "Driving Miss Daisy." AMAZING movie, if you haven't seen it make sure you take the time at some point in your life to just sit down and enjoy an awesome movie. I give it 2 thumbs up!!!

Hanging out with Chris, Amanda, and the girls is always fun. I think Lily is enjoying Molly being gone to the beach. She was just dancing around and singing all night, so cute!

Today is cloudy so chances are I won't be going to the pool. I am probably going to study for my anatomy and art history exams at some point today. I would also like to find a good book to read, so any suggestions are welcome. Well, I am getting ready to take Josh to his exam. I hope everyone has a great day!

Chillin'

I am at the apartment, I just woke up, I am watching episodes of Two and a Half Men, I am loving life right now. Classes are over for the semester and I only have two exams to take!!! I will be going out to the pool here at The Landing at some point today to just relax until I have to work. I have been working quite a lot here lately, pretty much every night 4:00-9:30 and weekends 2:00-9:30 and 2:00-8:30. So a break during the day where I don't have to go to classes is great! Work is going really well. The Fresh Market is awesome, the people there are friendly, and the store itself is really nice. I am really excited to see what summer has to offer this year!

Have a great day!

It has been a while...

It has been quite a while since I last blogged, and a lot has happened all of which is for the better.

I would like to start by notifying my blogging community that I am now employed by The Fresh Market. I would like to take the time to say thanks to Erin and Beth for providing me with the opportunity (from what I hear they gave me quite the references). I appreciate it more than I can say!

Also, the weather has taken a wonderful turn toward WARM!!! In a way this is awesome because I can now go out to the pool and relax, play with Molly and Lily outside when Rach and I visit the Averys, and finally I can comfortably wear short sleeves on a regular basis. On the other hand, it is really making these last couple of weeks of school extremely difficult because I am quite unmotivated to do school work due to the many other wonderful outdoor alternatives (I think anyone who is currently enrolled in school will agree with this). Please don't take that as me complaining about the warm weather because I am NOT by any means complaining about sunny weather!

One thing that hasn't changed is the fact Rachel and I are still together after nearly 8 months. I'm not trying to be mushy but I'd like to let Rachel know she is the best and I appreciate everything she does. Love ya Rach!

I am really looking forward to some volleyball this summer. We got a chance to play last Saturday at Bring It On. As usual, Jessica Martin did an excellent job planning and organizing the event. We went out to River Park North and played volleyball, threw the frisbee, and were able to paddle out on the boats into the middle of the lake they have there. It was amazing! But like I said it was a typical Bring It On......AWESOME!!!

Josh and I were both able to go home for Easter weekend, which also happened to be the weekend of my birthday. It was so much fun to be able to be back at home with the whole family. With work and everything keeping Josh (who just survived his first tax season as an accountant) and I away from home it was nice to be able to go back and spend time with everybody.

I hope everyone has an amazing rest of the week and rest of the semester. Remember it's almost over...and like a baseball coach of mine once said, "Finish strong!"
