Another Work Week!

Well, we're slowly getting settled into a routine. Travis is getting into the habit of waking up early every day. He usually wakes up at 5:30 every morning to give himself enough time to shower and get ready, eat breakfast, and make his coffee. He is loving the new coffee grinder he bought for his birthday! It's a little bit harder to clean than the last one, but he says it grinds the beans more evenly, so I guess it's worth it :)

I worked yesterday for 5 hours or so (10 AM to 3 PM), and I'm working tomorrow and Friday. Supposedly next month I'm switching to part time, but I'm not holding my breath. The July schedule came out, and my hours will still be totally random each week. I'd love to get on a normal schedule, but maybe I'll just have to wait until August?

This weekend we'll actually be staying at home with not a whole lot to do...hopefully! We still need to finish getting our apartment set up and work on a budget for the next year. I think we might eat supper with Laura and Clayton on Saturday night, but nothing's set in stone.

I'm watching the USA/Algeria soccer game right now and hoping they'll pull out the win! The US just scored and they called offsides and took the goal away. The replay made it look like he was onside, so who knows...

Well I better get back at it....lots to do around here!

Hope you all are having a great week! :)

A lot has changed in the past month!

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted! It's been pretty busy around here lately. In my last update, we were still in Tuscaloosa ready for Travis's graduation, and now a month has gone by, and we are both working and are (mostly) settled in our "new" place. Graduation was definitely an exciting time! Travis was so glad to finally be finished with classes, projects, homework, and tests. The graduation cookout was a success! We had more than enough food and everyone seemed to have a good time. Even the weather was pretty much perfect (except for the wind!).



It's weird to think that we don't have a "home" in Tuscaloosa anymore. That's where we met and spent the last five years of our lives, and from now on, whenever we visit, we'll have to crash at somebody's house or apartment I guess! I already miss all our t-town friends, but I'm hoping we'll see them this fall at a football game or two.

It's taken a while, but we've got almost all our stuff where it's needs to go in Baugay's apartment. The only thing left to do is hang a few more pictures on the wall. Once we get that done, I'll post a few pictures so you can see what it looks like! It looks and feels totally different here with all of our stuff!

Last week, we went on our annual beach trip to Fripp Island with my family. We had a blast! This year, our group was smaller than ever, but we still had a lot of fun kayaking, going to the beach, swimming in the pool, feeding the deer, playing Balderdash, and going to the Hunting Island lighthouse. The week always goes by too fast! Next year, hopefully no one will get sick, and Jenn and Claire will get to come too :)






Today is Travis's first day of work! His boss, Doug, called him yesterday and told him that he could start work even though he still hasn't gotten his paperwork from HR in the mail yet. He'll just get paid his co-op salary in the meantime, which is better than nothing! He's excited about actually getting to work as an engineer now, so hopefully his first day is going well! I work a 12 hour shift tomorrow, and then tomorrow night is Travis's graduation party with the Dvoraks at Uncle Allen and Aunt Debbie's house.

I'll try to update this blog more often from now on! :)
