Last chance for August updates

WELL!! I haven't been keeping up with this thing. I've been posting everything on Facebook. I've been a little busy with applying to jobs, learning this city, meeting people, etc. But here's a summary of the awesome things that have happened this month (in pictures):













AND! The two most important things!!!:



I got a job!


And I got a ring!!!! :D

Our crazy good times :)

Just posting some new pics of us out and about! We've been having such a blast. I'm so happy :)

:)

Yesterday I took it upon myself to go to the post office and check out the mall nearby. The post office apparently LOST my hold-mail card so they haven't been holding my mail. I filled out a new one so maybe I'll start getting my mail here now. We'll see. I'm gonna have to contact the electric company just in case the bill got lost. Got some new clothes. Just a dress and a couple of shirts, but OH MY GOSH the stores here are like 172% better than the stores in Georgia. Sorry folks.

AND!!!


I got my hair cut :)

Doing stuff

Yesterday I went to the pool for the first time BY MYSELF. I'm trying to get out a little, gradually ease into this place. I was actually nervous! hahaha. Well it turned out that I was the only one out there till this group of girls showed up (who I couldn't understand anyway). It was WAY too hot for me to be out there so I came back in. Apparently it was 102 degrees and humid.. not for me!

Today I started back doing p90x and working out. I feel GREAT right now. I've felt kinda crappy for a few days, I guess because of not having a lot to do like I'm used to. But today I think it has finally clicked, and now I feel better!

Tomorrow I'm going to the post office. Maybe I'll have some mail! I know it's not that exciting, but it kinda is. It's my first mailbox! lol! Then I might go walk around the mall or something. Who knows!

apartment pics!

Yeah, so I know I'm late. I said tomorrow.. but I meant "day AFTER tomorrow." hahaha. Anyway, here's the pics of my apartment. I'm still gonna hang pics and other things. But this is the basic idea of it.

"The move" in pictures :)

*Welcome to Oil Country :)*

*There were HUNDREDS of these. It's an amazing sight to see*

*The greenery is starting to thin out*

*Fort Worth*

*entering Dallas*

*Mom and I stopped at the rest area to take this one. Then we couldn't get back out. lol*

*the Louisiana line sign was in the middle of this bridge*

*Enter 'Welcome to Alabama' sign here*

*Chester was not happy

I'm in El Paso!

Here's a few pics from the drive over here. You have to start from the last pic and work your way to the top. This thing uploads backwards. Next time I'll put them in the right order.. or.. the wrong order so it'll upload it in the right order. Anyway, here's the pics! I wasn't really paying attention when I crossed into Alabama so there's no state sign for that one. But I pretty much got the rest! :D

I'll post pics of my apartment tomorrow :)
