What a wonderful Thursday...

It's the last day of May. Our five month anniversary. A Thursday. I guess everyday has something really special about it if we get down to it.

I am taking a break from my mountains of work to do for these online classes. Pretty much the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that at the end of this crash course in Management, there is a Master's degree waiting for me! It's pretty interesting, too, to be able to study some things that are not in my "field." It's neat that I am finding ways to apply the ideas and concepts from these courses that are for people getting their MBA to education and life in general. Neatttoooo.

The day ahead, hmmm... so many things. Ben is out right now seeing if he can find a job closer to home. We are currently sharing my Cavalier that has over 100,000 miles on it. I bought that baby brand new, so it's hard to see it aging. I know I sound like a nerd, but you get attached to a car when you're always driving it. Anyway, the job he accepted and is supposed to start Monday is pretty far from home, and he is expected to use his own vehicle (my baby) to go to job sites. Most of them are in the DC/Northern VA area. Once I got more details about this, I encouraged him to start seriously looking for something closer to home, since it shouldn't be a problem finding SOMETHING. He's frustrated with me, but I've had to make this drive he is going to have to make daily. It's not pretty, not to mention that the car is having some minor transmission troubles. This job will not be compensating us enough for tearing apart our personal vehicle. So, that is one of the things on my mind today..... We are waiting until later in the summer before we buy a new car for me, and quite honestly, I don't want to be making two car payments, so I'm praying that the Cav will survive a little longer.... I'm also praying that he'll find something close to home that he enjoys. I don't want him traveling so far everyday, not just for the car's sake, but for his safety and in the long run, happiness.
There is nothing pretty about rush hour traffic.

I looove being back "home." It's fun that I can IM or call someone and be like, "hey, come over." I had a few good friends in Frostburg, but it wasn't like I could ever just call and be like, hey come over and hang out. I guess I did a few times, but my point is that I love being back!

Well, I guess I need to get back to work. I have some cleaning up to do (trashing boxes) and hanging up some more things, because our pastor is coming to visit this afternoon. He is pretty new, and made it a goal to go visit every single member at their home. I think that is awesome, and something I haven't experienced before. It was funny, we're so not used to this, that Ben was like, "whyyyy is he coming?" It's sad really. But anyway... back to work! Have an awesome Thursday.
