We didn't have our usual camping weekend for Labor Day but did enjoy our day off to just to relax around here. We were able to put some more things away and just continue to make the apartment more comfortable and more like home to us. Monday night, Ben's friend, Jonathan Shanks came to visit us. (Ben meet him last summer when he was working on the oil rigs in Texas. Jonathan was also able to make it to our wedding.) Jonathan got evacuated from his rig in LA because of Hurricane Gustav. Speaking of the Hurricane, we didn't get anything from it for those that were wondering. Not even a drop of rain, Ben was a bit disappointed.
Tuesday is Ben's busy day at school. So Jonathan and I spent the day driving around town and stopping in places that looked interesting. We also walked around campus and were able to see Ben's office, and some stuff in the geology department. Then Tuesday night, Jonathan took us out to dinner to Antonio's Pizza right near campus and it was very good. Just a little hole in the wall kind of place that had really good pizza. Then back to the apartment for some card games and a movie.
Wednesday, Ben doesn't have school until 11am so we were able to have a big breakfast and just relax together in the morning. Meanwhile Jon and I tried to find a place for Jon to fax his time sheet in, we finally did at a Kinko's. Then the three of us went to a Mexican Resturant for lunch, which was so good :) After lunch, Ben and Jon made plans to go fishing at a lake just a bit east of here but Jon got the call from work that it was time for him to go back. Ben was pretty bummed about not being able to go fishing. After we said good-bye to Jon, I went out and applied for a couple jobs but both of them had quite a few applications on them so I am not too hopeful to get them. Then Ben and I went to Best Buy and got Ben's birthday present.... a Playstation 3. Ben was able to sell his Playstation 2 and then with the birthday money he got he was able to upgrade and is very happy :)
Otherwise, we just keep going along. Because of the Hurricane we had a bit cooler weather here for the last two days which was very nice to us. And we see that there are three more hurricanes coming yet.
Oh, and yesterday strange thing - we saw a hot pink VW bug with purple neons underneath. It made me smile :)
Hope all is well! Thank you for the calls and the e-mails, we enjoy hearing how things are going at home!
