Weekly Recap

What a long week! This was our first full 5-day work week in a long time! I think I woke up tired every day and by Saturday, I was exhausted. Eric & I both slept till 10 Saturday morning - that's a record for me! I didn't even stir until just before 10. No dreams, no disturbances. It was the best sleep I've gotten in ages!

Work and the gym kept us busy through the week. Our evenings were spent looking online for a new place to live, and on Saturday we visited the places we were most interested in. We found one place we really like. It's about twice the size of our place now, and it's really nice. The one downside is that all of the windows are on the north side, AND it's another basement apartment. The living room doesn't receive any natural light, so it's pretty much like a dungeon. Both Eric & I LOVE natural light, so this is a pretty big deterrent. Another place we looked at made us feel like someone was going to kill us and hide us in the walls of the complex. The pictures online definitely were NOT the same as the building we went to. Eric and I were afraid for our lives and sanitized our hands as soon as we got out of the building. I felt like taking a shower too. It was gross! We looked at a few other places but nothing really felt like "home".

Last night we hung out with Eric's sister Laura and her husband Jared. The three of them played drums and guitars and rocked out for a while. I played with Logan (their 2 year old) in a little play house. I felt right at home with her! She's a cute girl - and I think she likes me.

Oh yeah, Eric's sister Saralee had her baby on Thursday morning. James Anthony finally entered this world after Saralee went into labor on Monday night!

So, that's about all for this last week! We are ready for some snow or rain, something to clear out the horrible inversion that is sitting in our valley right now. I normally wouldn't welcome snow, but I long to see our beautiful mountains and blue skies again. Sometimes I feel like we're back in Southern California with how dreary and brown the skies are right now. I'm sure by the time it snows, I'll be posting about how much I hate snow!
