The Twilight Saga...

I can't believe it has been a week already since our last post (nice job sweetie!), but I thought I would start by dedicating this blog to the new book series I am reading...and LOVE! So, I finally finished Friday Night Knitting Club last Friday, which I've been half-heartedly reading since November due to all the other crazy things going on in my life. Then on Saturday decided to start reading Twilight a new book that Mara & Tyler got me for Christmas. I had given Mara a very hard time about getting so enthralled with some book that I had heard was about "vampires"... sounded stupid. Ha ha, so she bought it for me anyways. ;) So, I started the book and could hardly put it down it was SO good. So, by Wednesday morning I was finished. Mara and my sister, Lauren, had both volunteered the rest of the series to me to borrow, but since I won't be in Fort Worth until Monday, I decided I just couldn't wait.

On Wednesday evening I went to the grocery store before picking Mike up from work and there it was... taunting me New Moon AND 25% off! (I also love HEB) So, I of course justified picking up the book and decided it would keep me busy probably until Monday since we are having company in town and I won't really spend much time reading this weekend. Wrong again. Thursday we had horrible thunderstorms in San Antonio, so I spent almost the entire day cuddled on the couch with Toby reading the book. By dinner time there were probably 5 chapters left in the book. I think I read 400 pages just yesterday. (Not normal for me) As you can imagine, I had to finish the book today, which I did at about 10:30 this morning. Now I just have to wait until I get to Fort Worth to start on number 3- Eclipse then Breaking Dawn.

So, until then my day is filled with laundry, dusting, and other cleaning measures as we prepare for my brother and sister-in-law to come stay with us this weekend. We are very excited about their visit. I will be sure to post next week about what all we did since we're still not too sure just yet. Also, this week I went up to Austin, TX on Tuesday to visit my friend Meg and see her cute town home on the north side of Austin. We got to pick up her wedding dress (which she looked BEAUTIFUL in) and got caught up on regular girl-chat time. We don't get to spend enough time together, so it was good to spend even just a few hours hanging out like good old times and talking about her wedding planning. :)

Also, PRAISE THE LORD (PTL) Mike got his go-ahead from HR at AT&T about his move to Dallas and he is set to start June 1st up there. Therefore, on Monday I will be headed back to FW with Matt and Vivian and will be doing some house hunting with my Mom and our realtor. I am also hoping to catch up with a few friends since I will be in town for a week. Also, on the job front- Merck posted an opening this week in South Dallas and I am hoping to get an interview and be considered for the position. I'm not sure if I got the job when they would want me to start up there, so that could be stressful, but I am hopeful that God has a plan! I also have some good leads on openings in Plano and Garland, TX which of course are the North side of Dallas, with Novartis and UCB Pharma respectively. This could potentially change our house search area, but we will wait till after next week to make that decision. Until next time, I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Hooray for Friday :) I still love those even when I'm not working. :)
