It's been so long since I posted last that I had to go back and see what my last post was about so I could update about everything. Since March 10 my 30th, yes 30th, birthday has come and gone. My dear sweet husband took me out to dinner and told the waiter it was my birthday when I went to the restroom. I knew I shouldn't have left the table, dang it! Like my dad, I don't care about any big to-do about my birthday. I have never had anyone sing to me at a restaurant for my birthday either. Thankfully, Pappasito's was almost empty so it wasn't that bad. I didn't hate the hubs for too long after that. He always finds a way to make it up to me =0)
Leland and I also went out to Houston to find a place to live over Spring Break. The first day was a total disaster! I had contacted an apartment locating company to help since I don't know the city. I gave her the parameters of the search and off she went. Within a day she had sent me a list of places. Unfortunately, when we went to check it all out the things that were in our price range were surrounded by bars and strip clubs, or the apartment didn't have any openings or the things we actually needed. By the end of the day we were more than concerned. I started thinking we were going to be homeless. We went back to the hotel and started a new search. Every site we looked at the same place kept popping up. So we went out there the next day before we left town and, ahhhhhhhh (in opera voice), it was the perfect place. It had an open floor plan, washer/dryer connections, and pets were allowed. my perfect place. So much storage in the kitchen and other areas. I fell in love with the place. If I am in love with it, then Leland is in like of it. Of course, my wishes win out ;) I also was able to visit MD Anderson and meet the people Leland is going to be working with. Nerds, all of them. But, what more could I expect, I married a nerd myself so no biggie. MD Anderson is so secure that you have to have an employee escort you wherever you go if you are visiting. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't even go to the restroom without an escort. I am happy to see that there are places that secure and my hubs will be in a place like that. That was a pretty successful trip.
General Conference was March 31 and April 1, but I will have to review and write more at another time since I was at work for half of it and falling asleep during the other half.
This past weekend we went back out to Houston to sign our lease. I was not happy with the apartment we got. The thing that really sold me on the apartment was the open kitchen. When I walked in to the new place, I had a closed off kitchen and the oven ti about half the size of the one I have now. I will have to buy a whole different set of cookie sheets because mine are too big. The stove is on a counter top not even close to the oven, so weird. But, there is still plenty of storage space. I am a little disappointed in the kitchen, but I can survive it for two years. The dining furniture will not fit (we planned on that already, it was just trying to get my mom to understand that we will have to get rid of it that was tricky). Since the old stuff won't fit, I can finally get the pub table I have been wanting! While we were in Houston I also went on an impromptu job interview. I had made contact with a school in the area through a former co-worker and I received an e-mail that morning from the school wanting me to do an interview when I was available. I e-mailed right back and about three hours later I was sitting in an interview. Yes, I did get a job. I don't know what I will be doing since the superintendent doesn't know what will be open, but he did say I have a job, so whew! Another worry down. Now, it's just the packing and de-cluttering process that is going to drive me (and Leland and Tyson) crazy! All will work out, I'm sure of it. Everything has worked out so far.
