Great Finds

    Wow! It's Saturday already? Can you believe it? Where did Thursday and Friday go? I'll tell you.

    Thursday consisted of apartment hunting and playing phone tag with a potential future employer. I just have to have another phone and in-person interview. Tyler and I fell in love with this one apartment, now all we have to do is get approved and we'll be moving out of his parents house. Woohoo! I'm so ready and excited!
    Yesterday, Friday, we test drove a car, went out to dinner, and just stayed home, relaxed, watched a movie, and had some wine. A good night if you ask me. Oh yeah, we also got this amazing coffee table from Craigslist.

This, my friends, was only $25. WHAT?! The previous owners only had it for 5 years, so it's in pretty good condition; only a few scratches and what not. Tyler and I want to change the drawer handles, but other than that, we love it! Our future apartment is slowly, but surely coming together.
   
  

Weekend Review

    Hello everyone, and happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. Here's a little bit about my weekend...
    On Saturday, I went to a baby shower/good bye party for one of the other medic's wives. There was a lot of food (I made cheesecake bites and bought some German Christmas cookies) and socializing. Now, I was the ONLY one without a kid, but I still had a good time, and I think she did too :). Now, here's a funny story for you...when I was talking about kids and saying I didn't have any, I guess some took it to mean that I didn't bring my kids to the party. You see, most of the women brought their kids. So, after I say I don't have kids, one woman looks and me and asks, "oh? Are they grown or something?" WHAT?! How old do you think I am woman?! I politely answer, that no, my husband and I do not have any children yet, nor are we planning to have any in the near future. But again, WHAT?! Most people say I look younger than 24, or about my age...I'm confused. Haha. Ah well, just got to laugh it off I guess.
    When I got back home, I cleaned the apartment a little, and got ready to go to the Christmas Market in town. You see, we were planning on going to the Christmas Market with our good friends J and B, but it just kept pouring on and off. Ugh.  After many facebook messages and phone calls, we decided that there was too much rain, plus, it closed earlier than we thought. Closes at 8 on a weekend is ridiculous! But, since J and B we're about at our apartment when we finally decided not to go, they came over and we hung out, watched movies and drank two bottles of gluhwein. Mmmmm.
    On Sunday, Tyler and I relaxed, played computer games (lol), and watched TV/movies. Typical Sunday. For dinner, we went to the Christmas Market. It kept raining, but we didn't care, we wanted to go. Plus, the food is delicious. Worth it. While we were there, we scouted out what we wanted to buy for presents for others as well as ourselves. We just need to go sometime this week or weekend to get some of the things we want to have shipped home.
    Today, I started making a list of places I want to apply, did a great Jillian Michael's workout, starting writing lists of things I can live without for like 3 months (that's how long moving our stuff with take...yay?), watched our neighbors little yorkie...ya know...the usual. Haha. Now, time to make dinner. We're feeling tri-tip. Mmmm...so good.
    Happy Monday everyone!
P.S. A Post about Spain will be coming SOON! I Promise :) 

Weekend Review

    Hey all. How was everyone's weekend? Here's a little review of what we did this weekend...
    Saturday, we started to cook the Carnitas. Tyler had prepped Carnitas the night before and once we got up, we started cooking them. Oh man, they were smelling soooo good all day. I couldn't wait to eat them. In the afternoon, I went shopping downtown with neighbor/friend Catherine. My goal, to find new jeans and possibly new shoes. I had limit of how much I should spend, and was on my way. Why new jeans and shoes you may ask, well, 2 of my 4 jeans (yes, I only have 4 pairs of jeans right now) have holes in them. Not the cute holes...the ones on the thigh close to the crotch. Naturally, we went to H&M to look for jeans. Saturday was probably not the best day to try on jeans. It's SUPER crowded since most people don't have work and everything is closed Sunday. I did figure out my size (it's not normal European sizing), so that was helpful...yet, I still had problems. I picked out 3 pairs...two in one size and one in another size. Of the two that were the same size, one wouldn't even go all the way up, and the other was about to fall down. WHAT?? The one in the other size fit well, but looked super weird. They were higher waisted then thought...all in all, it wasn't a good look for me. Ugh. I wanted to try on more, but there were just too many people. I think I need to go during the week when there's less people.
    Once I got home, it was almost time for some carnitas and movie night. Of course we were having a movie night. haha.
    Today, I went to the commissary and PX for a few things. Oh man. The commissary was INSANE. There were so many people. So many rude people at that. I could barely get around and get the like 10 items I needed. It was super frustrating. I think most of my time was spent getting around people and standing in the check-out line. Ugh. Everyone was trying to get Thansgiving shopping done I guess. Makes me glad we won't be here. That's right people, no traditional Thanksgiving for me...I'll be in Spain! Anyway, the rest of Sunday was relaxing, watched tv, folded laundry (oh joy), ya know...the usual.
   Well, I hope everyone had a good weekend!
