A Kiss to Build a Dream On

Last week C and I headed to Nebraska for an awesome wedding. His roommate from the Academy got married to a gorgeous girl! We had so much fun,and definitely felt it all afterwards.It was only a 6 hour drive, so yet again, we packed the car up and headed onward. I feel like these months have literally flown by! Christian has completed almost two months of training down in Altus, and I have been surviving on my own here in Enid. Thankfully I have wonderful friends left here, and a job to keep my sanity M-F. It's kind of a surreal yet weird feeling almost getting out of Enid. I am so excited for Washington, and what new adventures lay ahead of us. I just really am nervous to start over, if that makes sense.

We have recently decided on buying a house up there. So being new homeowners will be so EXCITING! Our must have's because everyone has them, is that we want 3 bd. 2 bath, open and spacious kitchen, and at least a one car garage! That can't be too hard to find, right? I have been watching a TON of HGTV, those shows are really addicting and bad for the mind, and your wallet. :-)

In other news, next month we are headed to Colorado for a wedding, and then I will be staying an extra week behind. YAY!!!!One last hoorah, before moving! Miss my family to death!

I am sure you are wondering about my job, at Starbucks and what direction I am headed with that.Well after many months of debating, and going back and forth I have decided to stay with the company. I will be a "borrowed partner" for the times I cant have a permanent store. Like traveling to Spokane, and being up there for three weeks. All I need is to at least work 1 day a week, to still be technically an employee. However, all this sounds easy and wonderful, but I do have a degree in English, that I want to use. It's so tough knowing what to do, and what direction to go. But I love what I do right now, and couldn't see myself leaving the company right now. Maybe, in the future once we are settled in WA, I will get a job related to my degree, and only work some weekends at SBUX. But for now, I am a happy camper right where I am.

That is all for now,

Spring has Sprung

Spring has sprung..or lack there of....It has been a crazy Oklahoma spring. Rainy, Cold, Wet and down right miserable. I usually love this time of year. I haven't really been updating a lot on here, so on this cold and rainy day here is my attempt.

Not a whole lot has been going on, besides the usual. Christian is still in training down in Altus, and I am in Enid, working at Starbucks. This past weekend we went up to Wichita, KS , which was really cool. I was actually born there and never had a chance to go back until now. We went to the beautiful botanical gardens, and ate way to much food, while cheering on Wichita St. Neither of us are Wichita St fans, but I guess we had no choice. It was really a great and relaxing weekend.

Botanical Gardens

HOWEVER, we do have some fun stuff planned for the next coming weeks. Christian's academy roommate is getting married April 19th, so we are headed up to Omaha, NE for the weekend. We are so excited to see all of his old buddies, and of course Gabe and Kaitlynn. I have never been to NE so needless to say, I am thrilled at every chance to get out of Enid.

I get to go home in MAY. CANNOT WAIT!!! And we are going to a weeding up in Colorado as well around that time. Worked out perfect. Other than that, another day, another dollar!
