Busy Busy Busy

The past couple weeks have been very busy and exciting and I’ve just been too busy to blog! So, I figured it was time to fill you in on the latest scoop. I’ll try to make this an organized post since I have a lot to say…so here goes:

Vacay

I just returned from a four day trip to New England to visit my fave cousin, Starley in Connecticut. We enjoyed Misquamicut Beach in Rhode Island, Lake Compounce Amusement Park in Connecticut, manicures/pedicures, margaritas, and much much more! The weather was gorgeous up there! And it was very nice to get away and spend some q-time with Starley. I’d post pics, but my digital camera is broken and she hasn’t sent me any of the pictures we took yet!

Aside from my trip home that included a 2 ½ hour airport shuttle ride from New Haven, CT to La Guardia airport (think Tobias Funke on the $12 airport shuttle in Arrested Development…I’m not even kidding), the visit was very fun. And even the shuttle wouldn’t have been bad except that the driver was so short he could barely see over the steering wheel, barely spoke English so nobody could understand him, and he didn’t have a rear view mirror so we had several near-incidents. Top that off with an angry man speaking a foreign language into his cell phone for the entire ride and a large woman who insisted on sitting practically on top of me. Yes, it was an interesting ride to the airport.

House Issues

While I was gone, several good things happened. We had an open house that lured a couple “potentials” as our realtors tell us. But more importantly, we had a very last minute (as in less than 20 minutes notice!) visit from a woman who really likes our place and needs to buy a place in Athens and move quickly to start her new job in mid-July. She loved it but wants her mother to come up from Savannah to see it, so they’re coming next weekend. Meanwhile, we have another young woman who looked at our loft about a week ago who is in a similar position…waiting for her mother to come in from out of town to see it. This sounds good to us. Very good. So, now we just have to wait and see and hopefully something will happen within the next week!

Meanwhile, in other good news, the house we want in San Antonio is still on the market and the price was just reduced. Hooray! Now…hopefully it can wait just a little bit longer for us and we might be able to pull this all off perfectly.

Job Hunt

I have had several interviews, have one more coming up and I am currently waiting to hear back from the organizations. Interviews have gone extremely well and that is all I can control, so now I’m just in waiting mode. I don’t want to say too much about this right now, but I’ll keep you posted as soon as I hear something (which should be within the next two weeks). Wish me luck!

What's Up Next...

The month of July should be pretty crazy if everything goes well. *If* we sell our house to the person that needs to be here in a couple weeks, then I'll be in full-fledged packing, storing and/or moving mode very soon. Of course, that will be very interesting because Jarrod will be in North Carolina for the whole month of July working at Wake Forest. I guess Muggsy and I will just have to tough it out and get all the work done on our own!


In mid-July I'll go visit Jarrod at Wake for a weekend, and in early August the whole fam is coming over here for his commencement, at which point he will officially be known forever more as "Dr.".


All in all, it will be a big month and hopefully it will involve selling a loft, buying a house, and getting a new job!
