Connected Again

We finally got the internet and TV today; I think we are mistakenly getting like a billion channels (woot for HBO!) but maybe it will sort itself out sometime and I won't have to feel bad for not saying anything.

I had an interview today (got turned around twice on the way there and twice on the way home) and it went well. This is the same place I went to in March, and it sounds like they will have a job for me in the next 1-2 weeks. I also got a lead on an opening at an air quality lab, could quite possibly be less technical (hopefully not boring though), but pays decently.

We'll hear back from Columbia Inspections tomorrow regarding Erik's interview, hopefully they'll ask him to come back for a final interview.

Well that's all for now, I will be posting pictures later tonight.

New Developments

Our friend Todd checked out a house for us today, and took lots of great pictures! We are getting the applications (faxed) tomorrow and filling them out. Hopefully we hear back from the guy by Thursday night.

It is a two bedroom, 1.5 bath unit in a triplex. There is a fenced yard and its right across from a great park! It is $700 a month and the landlord seems pretty laid back. Here are some pictures.

boring little bathroom

Overall it seems pretty good. It still needs to be cleaned and would probably look better after we have moved in and fixed a couple things up. I hope it works out because the location is great and its definitely a place we could live in for a year.

We'll keep you all posted! And I'll put up some graduation pictures later this week.

Graduation

Graduation was great. It was so nice having Erik's parents here and my parents, and everyone else who joined in. The ceremony was very nice and lasted about 2 1/2 hours. Afterwords we took some pictures and had a bbq in the park. I was so glad that Brian and his parents joined us before they headed out to Anchorage the next day. I think everyone had a really good time.

5 Days and Counting!

My last final is tomorrow, I am so excited to finally wrap everything up. Of course my list of things to do before graduation is getting daunting, but as long as its not a list of homework I don't care!

It was so nice out today. Sunny, warm but not hot, slight breeze, blue skies, perfect! Tomorrow its suppose to get up to 80 degrees! Hopefully this great weather holds up for the weekend.

The anticipation for the coming days is building! I want to do all these things while our parents are in town, but there aren't enough hours in the day! I'm sure whatever we end up doing we'll have fun.
