Reading my sister's blog has inspired me to update this thing more often. :o) Here is an update on Matt and my life....
Matt is still trying to find a job. I know everyone is wondering "what's taking so long?" ha ha, and trust me, I am too, but I understand that it isn't Matt's fault. He has applied to so many places and they just either aren't hiring, or don't want to hire him because they would have to pay him more. He did just apply to an apartment complex that I think would really like to have him except that he isn't HVAC certified. They want someone certified, but we just don't have the money to send Matt through that kind of training. He would be more than willing to be ceritified if they would hire him! :o)
My friends Jenny and Candyce came down recently and it was such a fun time, it soothed my sadness in missing my family and friends, but also made it worse when they left! I have the best friends in the world who would stick by me in every situation. I realized that while people always say if you can count more than one person as a good friend you are lucky. Well I have so many people that I love and would trust with anything. It makes me feel so happy to know that even though I may not see my friends every day, I could see them tomorrow and it would be like absolutely no time had passed.
I will include some pics from that trip later, I promise!
A week after the visit from Jenny and Candyce, Matt's parents came into town. We enjoyed their company though I didn't really get to see them, (I was working all week). They took us on an airboat ride, which was probably one of the coolest things I have done in Florida since we got here. We got to see some cool wildlife including a baby Bald Eagle and an adult one. A gator(!!!) which incidentally is the first gator I have seen in Florida since we got here. The ecological make-up of Florida is so different than what I am used to.
Matt's parents also decided to purchase one big thing for our home and left it up to us to decide. We decided on a guest bed, because I knew we would be having more guests! Matt's parents were here for a week and have already planned to come out again in June.
Matt and I are anticipating another group of visitors, my family! I am so excited because this will be the first time since I was 2 that my whole family is on vacation together. My mom, dad, sister, nephew, and brother-in-law will all be coming down together and I could not be more excited!! I can't wait to take my little nephew to DisneyWorld. He will probably be on sensory overload, but I can't wait to see an excited look on his face! It will just be a blast! (not to mention that I will have ten days off of work!)
Well more later!
