So, already it is Sunday. We had a busy week, and I am sure the ones to come are going to be just as busy if not busier. But we are doing well, becoming better orientated down here and starting to get a few familiar faces. Anyway to the week....
Thursday, Ben had class in the morning and then came back to the apartment for lunch and just to relax before his afternoon class. I spent the morning picking up and washing some laundry. For some reason the blanket we have on our bed is shedding a ton of little fuzzies all over our sheets and comforter so I had to wash all that including the blanket and hopefully that solves the problem. While Ben was in his afternoon class I dropped off a few more resumes at different business so hopefully I will hear back on something this week. I am getting a little anxious to hear about something. Thursday night Ben and I cleaned out the fridge and ate all the leftovers from the week - so some spectacular cooking on my part :)
Friday, Ben doesn't have class until noon so we slept in and had cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then Ben went to his TA meeting, the help room, then class. While he was gone, I did more laundry, walked to the grocery store (just for a few things) and managed to break the microwave. Ok, not really. I accidentally unplugged it when I put a bowl in the cubboard above it but I did have to go find the maintance guy and then I felt like an idiot :) Friday night, Ben and I went and picked up my diamond (finally I have it back!) and Ben helped me try and find some clothes for interviews and such. We did stop in the Puppy Spot in the mall and saw a mini-Ernie that was so cute :)
Saturday, Since Ben and I were unsuccessful at finding some clothes at the mall I went to Kohl's while Ben did some homework. I should have gone to Kohl's first, I hit the jackpot there! I got 5 shirts, 2 tank tops, a skirt, button up jacket, and a zipper hoodie for $50! I did very welll there. Then we worked on cleaning the office some more and headed to our favorite place, Texas Roadhouse, for dinner. After dinner we went to Bretanti's (a fellow TA of Ben's) to watch the University of Texas (shh! don't tell the Aggies :) ) football game with some other TA's and their significant others.
Today we went to Restoration Church, this little little church that just started in May. We liked it very much, we aren't 100% happy but it is the best we have gone to so far and the people were extremely friendly to us. They wanted to know where we came from, why were here, etc. etc. and talked to me about possible jobs. It was a nice service too, a bit more traditional than the other churches. We are going to go to a couple more on our list and then decide, but definetly the best we have been to so far. Then we had lunch - tip: McCormick makes these new "Crusting" seasoning, they are in the spice aisle, and it is like a flavored breading on meat. Ben and I got the Garlic Lemon Herb and put it on chicken - SO good :) After lunch we went and relaxed by the pool, played some cribbage, swam, napped, and read our books. Now we are just waiting for the pizza to cook and going to watch a movie to end the night.
Oh! and I really need to find a job, in the last two days I have made:
Ranch Dressing/Dip
Caesar Dressing
Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake
Banana Bread
and....
Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream!! :) Check it out....
Here is the link if you want to make it yourself. (you don't need an ice cream maker!)
And it looks like we may get some of Hurricane Ike. They are telling the people in Houston and Galveston to start looking for places to go incase it comes. So we should get some rain from it, Ben is super exicted.
Otherwise, not much else going on here. We miss all of you. And are anxious for Christmas!
Much Love!
Just another picture for kicks.... Ben and I at the Texas Welcome Center
