Life is Good :)

We're loving it here in San Antonio!! We're beginning to feel a bit more like "locals" and less like "visitors". We even updated our driver's licenses to make it official! We're making new friends, looking at churches, learning our way around town, and getting unpacked and settled into our apartment. Poor Darrin has already had to golf twice for work, such a rough life! :) We went to Austin for a training for him last week that was very beneficial and he's been getting lots of business to help him learn.

My latest adventure is that I've started trying to cook a few nights a week, with one real deal recipe meal a week (this doesn't sound like much, but for me it's a HUGE accomplishment!) Allrecipes.com has become my best friend. Last week I made a grilled salmon that had a soy sauce and brown sugar flavor to it - pretty delicious!! I even tried out a Cinnamon French Toast recipe for brunch one day that was A-MAZING! (Darrin didn't get to enjoy it because he was already at work, oops I slept too late.) Yesterday I tried out a recipe for meatloaf which was another hit. I've also made some of the old traditional favorites like spaghetti, Hamburger Helper, and cereal. (Hey, I gotta take a break some nights!! :-P)

Last weekend my family came into town for Kaitlynn's volleyball tournament and we had a great time with everyone on Saturday. I didn't realize how homesick I had gotten until they all left! We're looking forward to football season when we can come home more often and see our family and friends.

As fun as it's been to have no real schedule and just get settled in I'll be so ready to start working! I have an interview this Thurs. at 1 pm that seems very promising so please say prayers for me. Also Thursday is Darrin's Birthday!!!! :) (the big 24)


I guess I better run get back to doing nothing - ah!
