Texas-Dallas and Ft. Worth

AW Thursday

I would like to hear everyone else's good news.

I do have a bit of my own.  Bill's mother's family lives in the Houston area.  One of the cousins is having a baby and I got invited to the baby shower.  I am really touched that they thought to invite me and, even if it causes resentment (or whatever else) with my MIL, I'm going.

    Great Julie--you need some good news!

    1. I'm officially moving back to Dallas for good in May. I accepted my job offer on Monday.

    2. It's icing right now and I'm mad OU didn't end class until noon. Argh.

    3. I'm supposed to go to dinner/basketball game tomorrow with a company that gave me a scholarship. I was just going to say "screw it" due to the weather, but they told us we are going to Mickey Mantle's Steakhouse--one of the best restaurants in OKC. I'll risk my life for a good steak.

    I've been horribly lazy and not eating well/that much for a couple of weeks now but this week, I have walked one evening and today I am eating a salad for lunch.  Not much but it's something.  And I have not killed anyone so far.

    Congratulations Stephie!! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful so you def. deserve it!!

    Julie- You should (if you can make it) go to the baby shower! Even with the MIL thing. Babies are worth celebrating for!

    Marissa,
    Bill and I went to Mickey Mantle's once when we went to the OKC art museum.  It is amazing if you haven't ever been before. 

    I love his mother's family--they are great people and I think that it's sad that Bill's parents don't really want to have anything to do with them.  They visit once a year or so but that's about it.

    Well after feeling crappy for my job search last night I get a call this morning from one of the places I applied to last night. I already have an interview setup for Tuesday. Yay! I hope it is a decent place cause I'm not really used to dealing with a scientific staffing company.

    Something in the scientific community along the lines of a chemical lab or microbiology lab.

    Tonight I'm having dinner with one of my sister's friends who is in town for a conference or something. I don't really get to do any socializing here, plus she's moving to CA before I get back to Dallas, so I'm excited!

    Steph- that is very cool!
    Congrats on everyone's AW's. 

    My custom grooms cake topper is in the mail!  I'll prob AW it again next week with a pic when I get it (the pics she sent me are too big and TK won't accept it).

    FI got a layoff notice on Tuesday and he ALREADY had a 3rd interview for a company that has better benefits, a shorter commute time, and a better salary!  We have our fingers crossed.

    It's FI's bday and (as soon as this blasted boring as heck tech clas id over) we are going to eat yummy steak and drink yummy wine! 

    My emotionally draining week is picking up.  :)
