Quick Trip

Daniel had the day off today so this afternoon, we took a small trip to Washington, North Carolina! It was quite an interesting little town, with little antique shops lining the street. It felt like we went back in time. For those that do not know, Washington is on the Pamlico River/Sound located about 30 min of where we live. We walked down Mainstreet, got a hot dog at Bill's, which Daniel loves. I thought they were okay. We then heard the ice cream at the Dairy Palace was good from someone that lives there, so then we went and got milkshakes. They were fairly good, but the best was the sign located on the window that read "Out of courtesy for our customers please do not spit on the premesis". Daniel and I both busted out laughing when we read that sign. Only in a place like Washington, NC.

All moved in!

Here is our new apartment! We had some great help from lots of elders in the ward and daniel's parents. Thanks to everyone for all your help! It made things a ton easier!

Job=More Money

Money is hard to come by with the prices of everything going up. Very unexpectantly, I received a call on Wed Aug 6 from a lady at a retirement community where I had put in my application 2 months ago. She asked me if I was still interested in a job there, and I said yes. I went in for an interview on Thur Aug 7, and was offered a job! Its not much, but I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly and the people I work with, are so nice and great to get along with!!

Moving!

Its only been 3 months that we have lived in our current apartment, but because many things are going up (not just gasoline) we decided to move into a less expensive apartment. Here are some fun pics of the process of moving so far :)

Growing Kitty

Here is Tigger sleeping is his fav spot while I am on the computer. He has grown so much since we got him. Because he is now bigger, he can and has tipped over many of my plants and climbs almost everything in the apartment, even us.

New Calling!

The 22nd of June, which is a Sunday, we had an opportunity to attend church together. After sacrament, a bishopric member came up to us and told us he would love to meet with us. So we did, and they want me to serve as Ward Chorister! I was both excited and nervous, b/c I am not one that enjoys getting up in front of people. The funny part of the story is that the first weekend in June we went to Raleigh and weren't at church, and realized when we got back that I had gotten a call from one of the bishopric members to meet with him that sunday. Oopps, so it was good that we went to our new ward then, although I went by myself to church the previous week, and no one came up to me, but oh well. So last week, the 29th, was my first week being Chorister. I was a little nervous the first song, but with each song (3 total) I became more confident. I've been told it's the best calling. From my first experience, I would agree!
