I decided to update my blog since we're doing a whole bunch of nothing this evening. I don't know how I went from going out on Saturdays to sitting around the house listening to Adam curse at and fix his "man-chair". I suppose marriage does that to you. I think we're becoming old and lame. UGH!
One small victory is that I got Adam to come out with me and meet some friends from work. We went to this place called Cheeseburger in Paradise and karaoked. Adam was such a good sport. He doesn't sing (unless HEAVILY influenced by alcohol) and he's not great with meeting new people but I was proud of him for coming out. I, on the other hand, had a blast. I hope we can make this an every Thursday thing...kind of like Karaoke Tuesdays in Pensacola. Last Tuesday I went to watch the weekly Beer Pong Tournament at Paradocks but I'm not incredibly fond of the place. The food is mediocre, the drinks are overpriced and I always leave smelling like smokey-bar. Yuck!
Recently, I got some great advice from someone pretty special. She told me to go slow on the house search cause it's a big investment. Sounds like common sense, huh? Well it's easy to get carried away because I find myself loving the idea of owning a home SO MUCH that I make myself like properties that aren't that great. The rose-colored-glasses effect. The home I shared last post is no longer an option. Adam and I went on another walk through today to check everything over and realized we just weren't in love with it. Sure, taking it slow is irritating but SO important. If I'm not IN LOVE with a home, it's not a good investment...and right now owning property is a pretty massive investment. All I can say is occasionally unsolicited advice is good to hear and that often we need to be saved from ourselves. Needless to say, we're still on the hunt. We have a list of a dozen properties that we haven't seen yet and a few look really great from the online pictures. It feels like every day is a test of my patience.
Taking a break from houses...
Last night I took Adam to the Globetrotters game. I thought it would be fun but I was waaay wrong. The sound system was bad so we missed a lot of talking and punch lines and Adam isn't a big basketball fan. Bless his heart, he tried to pay attention. Best part of the evening was easily when we shared cotton candy. I seriously have one amazing guy!
Adam is back to the grind of things in AWSTS (his training squadron) and has started flying again. He is so strong and determined. He even dedicated this weekend to helping friends and fellow FRP's study for upcoming qualification boards. Granted, it helps Adam review, too but it's nice of him to give up his weekend.
Sean's moving into his new home this weekend and although I can't be there to help load and unload I wish him luck! Congratulations on buying your first home!! We'll come see it as soon as we get some time off!
I finally got all of my paperwork situated for ODU and should find out (sometime soon) if they accept/reject me for Fall Semester. I'm a mere 15 credits shy of my AA and have been for over a year. I'm ready to get this educational ball rolling so I can stop serving burgers and start making more than a third of minimum wage. I want to go to school so badly and we'll deal with funding when the time comes. I'm just looking to get accepted.
Sorry this update has been incoherent, mostly. I'm full of ramblings, lately.
(Also, this blog has not been proof-read. I apologize for any grammatical errors and/or run-on sentences.)
