Oops! Apparently I've already failed at maintaining a daily blog. My life isn't interesting enough to write about everyday haha. This week, however, has been extraordinarily exciting for me. On Monday, we were offered a house on base... andddd it was the housing area we wanted! Military base housing can vary greatly from base to base and even throughout different areas of base. So there are certain areas that aren't so desirable and others that are pretty nice. We lucked out and got one of the nice ones! It's 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage. We sign our lease and get the keys on March 2nd. It's a ways away but at least it's a peace of mind to know where we're going to be living in three months. The move itself will be bittersweet. I really like our little house we're in right now but when I say it's little, it's pretty little. Our furniture fits in here but nothing else could. And I've come to discover as a married lady that a separate dining room is important to me - something this current house doesn't have. So our new house is about 140 sq. ft. larger and has a separate dining room. Win!
My job search has been unsuccessful lately. I was one of the many college graduates with a false sense of hope and the foolish idea that doors to jobs would just swing open. NOT. Especially here in California. But I thought to myself, "Heck, I have a dual major, double minor, and my M.B.A. I'll be alright."
Then I realized I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Fail. I applied at the Superior Court here in our area and am feeling good about that one though. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Anyhow, a song and a recipe for you below. To all a goodnight...
