The rest of the drive was pretty downhill after that...we got to Albany and I went straight to the Halls' house to surprise Bryan. Oh what fun! He teared up when he saw me, which was so sweet! That will probably embarrass him, but that's okay. =) I stayed at their house for about an hour, and then went home because my siblings were waiting up to see me! On Friday, I relaxed all morning by my lonesome; everyone was at school or work! It was nice to get some rest after the long drive the day before! Once Bryan got off work, I went over to his house and hung out there. Which of course included a Dutch Bros. run at one point, I've gotta get it down when I can! Saturday, Bryan and I went boating with my family. It was great to get to go out on the boat for one last time before the summer is over! It was such a perfect day for it too!
On Saturday night I hung out at the Halls' again...I was trying to divide my time relatively evenly! Then Sunday morning Bryan came to church with my family, and then I left soon after that. Of course I shed tears, but I'm getting better and better every time!
SO, I really don't think anything exciting happened last week. I mean, NOTHING! I went to class, came home, and studied/watched TV. Boring! Rae and I started a Netflix trial, so we started going through the second season of Grey's Anatomy. We have the first season here, and that's all I've seen besides a few episodes from this last season. So it's been fun to start going through those! Otherwise, we had a pretty mellow week/weekend. Saturday, Rae and I were going to go to the football game, but decided against it and cleaned our rooms and bathroom and did homework instead! We're so good. On Sunday, we decided we needed to try out a church. We went to one we found called Meadowview Community Church. It was good; I really liked the pastor, but it was a bit small. We will try out a few different ones before settling on a home church.
On Sunday, I decided to do something that actually turned out to be so smart! Since I still had had no luck with finding a job, I posted an ad on the Craig's List "childcare" section, saying a little bit about myself and that I'm an experienced babysitter with loads of free time. On Monday, I got a call from a woman whose nanny had just bailed on her and her husband. She needed someone to watch her three year old and two year old while she and her husband are in class (they are both pre-nursing), and they fit my schedule perfectly! Voila, a job! So for 15-20 hours a week, I take care of Gavin and Raegan. I started yesterday, and it has been great so far! They are really laid-back kids, and I just get to play with them all day. I obviously still need to find something else, since they won't be giving me quite enough hours, but I'm really, REALLY excited to be making money again!! What's especially perfect about the situation is that, since I'm taking care of the kids while their parents are in class, they don't NEED me for any days that we don't have school. So I have a lot of flexibility for holidays (including the month and a half that we have off of school for Christmas), which is exactly what I wanted. I probably won't come home for the whole time, but I need at least a week for wedding planning! Speaking of that, Bryan made an appointment with his adviser next week that will hopefully determine exactly when he will be done with school, which means that we can actually officially set a wedding date! I'm SO excited!!!
Anyway, that's about it for now. I have a midterm coming up this Friday, so I actually really need to be studying now. Ugh! Biology happens to be my worst subject, so we'll just have to see how it goes.
