So after reading my sister and her husband’s blog (behanduo.wordpress.com) Jeffrey and I decided we wanted to start one of our own to keep people updated about our lives.
As of now, Jeffrey has graduated from College and I have one more year left. It’s been three weeks since school let out and we are both currently jobless. After the first week of relaxation and rest from the busy semester, boredom set it.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE sleeping in!
But having no purpose or goal for the day is a rather directionless feeling. We now have a ridiculously clean house and the lawn gets mowed about two times a week. I will admit that it has been nice to finally do some decorating around the house as well. I found a steal at Ross the other day on a huge ‘painted’ canvas of a rose that matched our bedroom perfectly; I was quite pleased.
We recently made a trip to California (a very spur-of-the-moment decision) and visited with extended family. We stayed a week with really no agenda and were able to see most everyone that was around. It has been a year and a half since I have been down there and Jeffrey had never met my Grandma T and a few other relatives. So we packed up our Corolla and made the 15 hour drive down. We stayed with Grandma T the first 3 days and Grandma S the last 3. We went to the beach and I took Jeffrey to Ruby’s on the pier (one of my favorite restaurants and childhood memories in California). On the drive back we stopped and saw Jeff’s Aunt and Uncle and stayed the night at his cousin’s house further north. We also got to go to the Sequoia National Park…It was incredible! It was so good to reconnect with family and I am reminded about how blessed I am to have such wonderful people in my life! I have attached a few of my favorite pictures from the trip.
Jeffrey and I will keep applying to different places around the county and hopefully something will come up. We continue to trust that God will provide for us in the coming weeks and months.
Until then, we will keep entertaining ourselves with the following:
cleaning (inside and out)
watching episodes of House online (we have already watched two seasons this summer!)
reading through old magazines (Jeffrey is sitting on the floor right now looking at the Backpacker)
going for runs and walks
cooking and baking yummy food
game nights with friends
I’ll try my best to keep you all updated and I’m sure Jeffrey will put his two-sense in as well occasionally =)
