[spring? not]

Just when we get a taste of the warm weather and flip flop season we get snowed on.

I have been home for just over a week and it's been fantastic! I am moving out this weekend -downtown! Just a jump, skip and a hop away from the good old GRCC campus. I head down tomorrow to get enrolled in all my fantastic classes! I can hardley wait to be a student again... a little sarcasm, mostly excitment.

So far, my time home has been really busy, but great! I love the busy day to day lifestyle but will probably miss the downtime once in awhile. I have really enjoyed seeing all my friends, eating at all my favorite places, and of course, shopping WAY too much.

Tomorrow begins the job seach of 2011. I also get to sit at the secretay of state for hours on end waiting. Yes, that is right, I bought my first vehicle all by myself! :) I just blew half of my savings account, but I like the idea of just having everything in my own name. She will be a great car that will last for years to come (hopefully). She will never measure up to the pontiac of course just beacuse that was my favorite car, but I am sure we will bond over the miles :)

Here are some pics from the last week(ish).

Girls night at Brittany's

Grand Rapids' finest ;)

Girls night out to Monelli's

Thats about it! Here's to hoping for a successful job search :)

[home sweet home]

I've been home for 4 days now and I am loving it! I like the pace of things, and the fact that there is always something going on. Caledonia never seems to change, I got back and it felt like I had never been gone.

This week was pretty busy. I didn't do any job hunting really, just some shopping and hanging out with people!
Here are some pics of the latest happenings.

The girls were probably more excited about the snuggie than me being home.



St. Pat's!



Happy Hour @ Rockwells with Mar!

Bringing in the b-day at Hopcat with Aaron. (This was right after something hilarious had been said, so I was trying not to laugh).

This sums up my week! Tomorrow is a panera lunch date mixed with a little shopping/job hunting! Enjoy the rest of the week everyone!

My friend Autee posted this sweet blog today. I think I have finally realized I am really leaving.

Well, 3 days left here!
I'm all finished working and pretty well packed up! Last friday night they had a surprise going away party for me...that I showed up in my PJ's to! Way fun! I also got a snuggie as a going away gift! I LOVE it!

This is me way surprised!!!

[the good, great and just plain AWESOME!]

We are now in the single digits ladies and gentlemen. 9 days until I am home sweet home. This is mind blowing to me. yes, truly unreal. A year flew by faster than I can grasp!

4 more days of work! I will definitly miss my job!

Plan A. Get off the airplane drive home and see the man! thanks to business trips in Dallas, Plan B is now in effect: Wait an extra 24 hours, then get to bring in the birthday with him!

A few things I am looking forward to: seeing my nieces and nephews! sushi, Panera, and running reed's with the sis in law!

Happy Thursday!
