Uncharted Waters

First of all- thank you for actually reading me!  It is nice to hear that a lot of you back home are reading the blog- it helps keep me accountable to write every night!

Speaking of back home, today I woke up very home-sick.  I think it started last night with seeing things that have been going on back home and realizing this is real life now!  Things are slowing down a bit and the reality of that this IS my new home is sinking in.  I decided that I have never actually experienced true home-sickness before.  Stout was only an hour away from home so I knew that comfort was not that far away- but this, this is far.  These are feelings I have never experienced before, I am in uncharted waters.

Today was very chill- Josh worked on finalizing his cover letter for Starbucks while I made lists, text friends and attempted to read.  If anyone has an extra laptop, computer or ipad we would gladly take it off your hands!  It is a little frustrating at times when 2 people are trying to find jobs- but only have one laptop.    Once I had the computer in my hands I was able to apply for 2 more places- Bank of America and LA Fitness- when I was filling out the application Josh told me he felt like I was cheating on him..but we all know LA Fitness is NO Life Time Fitness :)

After lunch Josh ran to drop off his cover letter and resume at 3 Starbucks he applied to- please pray for favor he is really hoping to work at the "mother-ship" while in Seattle.  I stayed at the house to keep plugging away at the apps- it was the first time in a LONG time that Josh and I were apart- woah.  Don't get us wrong we love being together and this would be SO much harder without the other but today I was really missing my friends.  So ladies plan your trips because I want to see all your faces!

My love surprised me with an iced coffee from the bucks- yum...by this time it was almost 5 and I had not left the house so we decided to check out some local thrift stores and the dollar store to see what is out there to help fill our possible new place- more to come on that :)

Chris and Rebecca both had commitments tonight so Josh and I warmed up leftovers for dinner and I watched American Idol while Josh surfed the web.  It was a well needed chill night.

well love you all back home, miss you and as always welcome and appreciate your prayers!  sweet dreams twin cities.
