whew!
whirlwind pauses for a moment of silence and peace...and so...blogging!
Let's start with the weekend...
Friday night we had plans that included homemade jambalaya and a hot tub. Unfortunately Mother had a plan including lots of rain, which means jambalaya was reheated at 2am. Saturday brought us a nice walk through Valley Forge Park, a couple tickets, and paint swatches for the apartment. An exciting night lead into a morning full of cleaning and such. Leave it to Ryan's mom to go away on Mother's Day, but we left her a lingering pot of azaleas and a specially chosen card. We ended up catching Pho and gelato with Zakattack, then back to his place for an inordinate amount of time shootin' the shit.
Monday there's bad news, irregular ops, and lots of stress with little sleep, but there's also keys and a truck with which to start relocating our lives. Tuesday and today brought more of the same, but with much appreciated help from Zak and Darti, we are 80-90% moved into a now clean apartment! Take that U-haul! I don't need your shockless trucks this time!
Today I officially applied for an inflight position! I was one of the few people who got into Ground-Ops with no desire to ever be a flight attendant, but as life grows and changes so do goals and needs. We discussed it at length and decided it was the best "next step" for us at this time. The only issue will come when I'm based, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Think optimistic thoughts for me, people!
Ok, back to packing! I'm not sure when we'll have internet in the new place, but I assure you it will be ASAP. We have a few other things to take care of first, then we'll be back! Until then, work and libraries it is (and the occasional night at the diner with wi-fi). Pictures eventually!
blessings!
