Visit

So mom, dad, and becky came to visit this weekend. our first vistors!!! of many we hope... it was a whirlwind though! it went so fast. Saturday we went to look at two houses - one ryan and i both like and then one i really liked. both 4 bedroom, one had alot more character but needed alot of work. if you check out beckys blog you can see all the pictures- she took alot. (and tonight we put in our official offer) we hope to close by halloween. that would be so nice.

after the house looking we went into philadelphia and went through a real sketchy area...luckily we made it to the philly cheesesteak area and they were fabulous. (dont listen to becky) then it was off the traditional site seeings. we went to the visitor center and got alot of maps and things. then we saw the liberty bell and the alchoies in the group wanted to go to the city tavern. where they proceeded to get bombed. its hard to site see with drunkards so we went to ikea instead. what a store. it will be nice to go there when we get into our house. i'm not sure we would buy any furniture or big things though. its pretty contempory styled. We did see some covers for the pink chairs in our living room. then we went out to dinner and then vegged out on the couch. we wanted to play cards but i forgot all my change - so we watched tv.

it was so nice to see my patty poo...she is sooo much smaller than i remember, i think b/c i have only been around the big oaf for 2 weeks.

here are the pics from the day

update

wow it has been a while since i updated...its been a very busy week. i started my new job- actually that part has been slow. but i havent been able to internet like i used to at my other job. i'm getting a blackberry for work- so cool i have always wanted one. ryan and i have picked out a house we want. now we either need to wait until our house sells or have two mortgages.

mom, dad and becky are visiting here now...i'll update all the fun times later. we did go see the house we want and they agree its a STEAL :)

employed!

I am employed!! i got my job offer officially today. so excited. i start monday. such a relief. i went shopping today to celebrate. i went to the king of prussia mall- it is AWESOME. i had so much fun there.

someone looked at our house again yesterday- we are crossing our fingers for an offer. hopefully we will hear something today but i doubt it. i am not impressed with our realtor at all. she doesnt email back- she cant get our house straight with who is coming to look at it. i bet we get an offer and she forgets to call us.

oh almost forgot the survivor update...not that i am happy about them-

pa

well this is my third day *off* as you would call it. and i must say its a little boring, i dont have very much to do but watch tv and walk murphy. i have been to the mall and target but since i dont have a job i cant spend money. i had an interview on monday and will hopefully get an offer this week.

last night we went to trivia night...apparently you are not suppose to call people to get answers. the winner won 2 tickets to a phillies game next week. we did not win. we came in 5th place. but it was alot of fun. next week it will probably only be ryan and i so maybe we can meet some people.

One bad thing about trivia is its in a bar and in PA you can still smoke in the bars. which is awful. i had smelly hair and clothes last night.

i'm going to go find the dog park today and take murphy. i might take a drive to king of prussia just so i know what outlets are there.

North Wales

Well i made the trip to PA last night... it wasnt a bad drive - friday night traffic is alot better than sunday night traffic thats for sure. we watch the red sox/yankees game. not fun- i was all celebrating when out of no where the yankees score 6 runs in one inning. dummies. those red sox better win tonight.

Leaving work wasnt very sad- leaving my linnie was though. i cried the whole drive up to drop her off at grammys. linus must have been sooo confused. i think she is much happier now though- she has mindy to play with. all week she would sit there and look at me like - 'C'mon and play with me! like murphy does' so now she has a friend. Her bark collar is working wonderfully too. shes a different dog. if only pattys was working...i'm surprised becky hasnt mentioned it on her blog- but patty must be immune to electrical shocks.

the apartment is nice- i got all unpacked today. its kind of surreal though- since i'm down here with no job- not sure what the future holds. hmm. could be fun. the pool is closed too. i was very dissapointed.

oh i'll draw the survivor names tonight and post tomorrow.

recap

the weekend was a good one. ryan got home friday night and we watched thank you for smoking. pretty good movie- i was surprised by all the stars in it, i had no idea who was in it. then saturday we cleaned alittle bit- went and did some shopping in olean - went to the irish festival and drank guiness and watched the little kid dancers. we saw a couple people we knew, but we couldnt stay long because there was a penn state football game to get back to. sooo then we spent the rest of the night watching football - most of sunday too. well just the bills game. a player got hurt pretty bad- they think he may not walk again. terrible. the bills lost too. they are kind of bad.

ryan left last night with murphy. linus was sad this morning i think- she misses her brother and sister. maybe ryan too. anyways i have alot of packing and cleaning to do this week. i move down friday.

Friday

well its friday- this week went pretty fast i think.

Linus came home yesterday- and her breath smells WONDERFUL...she was at the vet for a teeth cleaning. she had to have 6 teeth extracted. i was very surprised, she had some plaque on her teeth and her breath was bad- but not as bad as pattys is. anyways she is all better now. tonight i am putting the shock collar on her to stop her barking. i didnt want to put it on last night, thought it would be too tramatizing. hopefully it works.

i heard from the place i interviewed with and it sounds good- i should get an offer the monday i go down to PA. soooo that means i should have a week off. it will be so nice. esp since there is a pool at the apartment. i dont think ryan is excited for me to not be working... ha ha.

quiet night

tonight is a very quiet one, i am home alone without even a fourlegged friend. its very strange. we left the patty poo at grammy and grampys in fayetteville and then ryan has murphy in our new apartment. And linus is staying the night at the vet.

It will be a short work week luckily...i am so looking forward my last day at that place. i had an interview tuesday that went well and it was a place that i WOULD work at so i hope i get an offer.

The new apartment will be nice. and anyone who wants to visit will have a bedroom...so dont be shy!
