1/6 Monday, Monday....

Aloha!

It's Sunday night, 8:30 pm...and I'm having the hardest time staying awake! I guess I didn't adjust as quickly as I thought I would to the time change. This morning, I woke up much later than Jesse - but got ready much quicker! :) We went out for Thai food, which was my breakfast/lunch and it was fantastic! I had sweet & sour mahi. Then we drove down to the hospital, which seems like it is actually in Chinatown! Pretty neat little area. I just hope I can find my way to a bus stop tomorrow after work! Jesse will be driving me in the morning...sucks to be him! :)

So after all that, we went on base and he did some shopping for TP (he's not used to having a girl here to use all the toilet paper!) and car stuff for him. When we got back to the apartment, he couldn't keep his eyes open so he took a nap for a couple hours. I stole his car keys and ran to WalMart and got some things to eat while I'm here, and picked up Wendy's on my way back. I found my way back alright!! (Which isn't saying much considering it's a block away but...give me some credit!)

And now I'm struggling to keep my eyes open. The internet wouldn't work for me all day - I'm using someone else's internet signal through my wireless, so I guess I can't be too picky. Otherwise, I would've written something sooner today - and probably a little more interesting.
I'm glad most of you left me a comment! It's nice to know you're reading this and leaving me something...

Okay so I added a picture of the 'centipede' I saw yesterday - it's dead or I never would've gotten this picture!! Absolutely disgusting, he's at least 5 inches and covered in a hard scale-type thing...YUCK! And they say things are bigger in Texas - ha!
So that's it for now. Tomorrow morning, 1 pm Ohio time, I will be reporting to my new job! Cross your fingers...feels like the first day of school! What do I wear? What will they wear?? Are they nice? Etc etc etc :) I'll live, I'm a big girl. They have to be nice on my first day, right??

Love you all and miss you tons.

me.

Kristen, lucky Jenn didn't see that bug, we could have heard her scream all the way here!
Glad you are finding your way around, you are doing great. Let us know about your first day at work, I am sure it will be good.
Today it actually feels like spring, 63 degrees!! Sure it is warmer there, but we will take it. Love you and miss you sweetie!
