Miss Me?

Alright, I know... it's been over a month. To my credit, it has been a particularly busy month; it's not that I've just been lazy. Just for a little recap and to get me back into blogging regularly, here's a little recap.

I successfully moved across the country and now live in Las Vegas. Shocking, I know. I'm actually LOVING it so far. Except for the sun... I can't get used to that. It just seems 1000 times brighter out here. I really need to invest in some good sunglasses. 

Anyways, the trip out here went well other than a couple of slight setbacks like ordering pasta to be delivered to the room and then realizing we had no silverware, getting lost in the back roads of Missouri (or Misery, as I shall think of it from now on), and the car breaking down in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico. All of those were pretty minor things though and we made it in one piece! Well, technically several pieces since there were 5 of us making the trip (me, Nate the husband, Tim the roommate, Daisy the dog, and Dexter the cat). 

My job is AWESOME. I actually get sad the days I don't go in and wish I could break into the school and get some more work done. It's disgusting. I actually do work most of the days I have off, whether it's researching which databases are best or calling various vendors to get more information and pricing. No rest for the librarian! 

Everything is absolutely wonderful. Well, not really. Nate hasn't found a job yet, but there are a couple of really good leads. He has an appointment with the VA (Veterans Affairs) next week and they're going to do one of four things. 1 - say "we can't help you" and send him on his way. 2 - say "here, let me help you fix up  your resume" and then send him on his way. 3 - Find him a government job. Or 4 - Pay for his college and give him a stipend to live on while he learns a real trade that will actually get him a good job (unlike a degree in english which leads you nowhere). So yeah, very hopeful on that front. The second not so good thing is that we are really having problems with living with Tim. We have always been really good friends, but for some reason living together is just not working. We're all always on edge... it's awful. I'm thinking once our 4 month lease here in the apartment is up, Nate and I will just get a house alone instead of asking Tim to live with us again. I miss my sanity!!!

I'll blog more soon. Promise.
