What the weekends are like.






 










I love the weekends.


I love it when Cory is home and I get him all to myself for 2 whole daysssssss :). I love that he helps me with the dishes, our movie nights, our shopping excursions to the grocery store, cooking together, hanging out with new and old friends, church on sunday, and our adventures in discovering the new town and state that we live in.

(which include some of the...interesting people who live in it. The other day there was man belting out hymns in front of the Game Stop. Yes I was in that store. I hope its obvious we weren't there for me. There's another man that I always see by the McDonalds, he's in there all the time with his sketch pad drawing people. He has a very long beard, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat. I think his name might be Earl. At least he looks like an Earl.)

Anyways.

Yesterday we went on a walk in a State Park that's minutes away. I was pleasantly surprised by how much it felt like autumn today. Down here it mostly still feels like summer, which is very odd for me. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the mountains and the country, so far we haven't left the city too much. We're hoping to go camping at least one night before it gets too cold.

I'm sorry to report that I am very disappointed at the shopping down here.... no H&M or Forever21. Not one in the whole state. There's no reason to go to the mall. The mall is dead to me. This girl can't afford to shop anywhere else. Unfortunately the thrifting is not that good down here either. This is a big blow.

But at least gas is cheaper.

Well happy monday everybody, I'm going to clean the apartment (again) struggle to make something for dinner (again), and email hundreds of people about a nanny position. (somebody has to want me eventually right?)
