So, since I'm just sitting at home all alone (Josh is at work) I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to post a journal update...
Well, things in the adult world are INSANE!!! I would be lying if I said that there was absolutely nothing that I miss about college; however, life after college is TOTALLY AMAZING! Okay, so I went to school for like five incredible years to be a teacher. And now, I get to do what I love doing, only now I get paid. Plus, I don't have to worry about tests and homework. Sure, there are new things to worry about, like bills and budgeting, job evaluations, and in my case, bratty children; however, getting a paycheck every two weeks is totally kick-ass and makes it all worth it!
Okay, so Josh and I are good. Well, I guess we are better than good. I'm happy. Things were rough for a while. Not with he and I, but just with all the stress in our lives. Our last two weeks in Indiana were so hectic. I got a job, we got an apartment, we moved out of the house, moved to Davie, and I started work, all in a span of like 12 days. We had to worry about furniture, and painting, getting my classroom ready for school, and Josh getting the "go ahead" from Longhorn. I think any of those things would have been stressful in themselves, but all of them together were insane.
So we have made it! We are slowly starting to get the apartment looking the way we want it, one piece of furniture at a time. We started looking for a new car yesterday, and Josh is looking into getting a MUCH better paying job. If everything works out, we should be in a REALLY good routine by Christmas.
Our dogs are fabulous! I think Phoebe gets cuter every day. I know that my family really misses her. They call and ask about her more than me...just kidding, but they do ask about her a lot.
Everything about this place is just so new and exciting. The weather for instance. Well, it is totally intense. I thought that the sun was hot in Indiana, wow, it is SUPER hot down here. Oh, and don't even get me started with the rain. It rains like every day here during the summer; however, everyone keeps telling us how awesome it is here in the fall, winter, and spring. We are just excited to go through this adventure together!!! I can't believe I live with my best friend...
So we have "BAT: Broward Assessment Test" this week. Kind of like a practice ISTEP. So, I will get a few hours of a peace this week. It will be nice. Hopefully I'll have some time to post then.
Good luck with school BITCHES!! haha...let me know if any of you want to take a mini-vacation to the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. All my true friends are invited!!!!
