this and that

So we're planning on moving in July this year. We're not sure where yet, but we think out time at The Triangle has come to an end. Its been a great place to live, incredible nice and cozy, but it's been over run by the younger college generation. Since we want to start a family eventually, I can't imagine pushing my newborn down the hall here while the college girlies run around gossiping about boys!! Mark and I have always said we feel like the RAs of the building, which is kind of funny. We never talk to anyone around us other then say hi, but we just feel so much older! With that said we looking into becoming a part of a ministry called apartment life. We have friends who have done this for 5 years and they really got a lot out of it. Basically we would live in another apartment complex around the Austin area and find ways to engage the apartment community. We would work with the management, have a monthly budget, and plan events to create more of a community within the complex. We're really excited about the opportunity, we have an interview next Friday. Once we know more I will update!

Mark has been at an executive meeting in Washington DC this week, I feel like I have barely talked to him! because I haven't! He comes home tonight around 10, and we plan to have a nice relaxing weekend together, hopefully we can accomplish that.

The weather here in Austin has been absolutely crazy lately! Its January 19, and 80, yes 80!!!! degrees outside! Most people love it, and yes it's nice but the 40 degree up and down in the temps has me constantly sick. I'm sure next week it will snow, it would only make sense now!

I've been addicted to a show on Lifetime called Dance Moms. The season premier was last week and this show is just ridiculous! Its about 6-7 little girls who are apart of a Dance Company and follows them through their training and competition season. The  main part of the show is the ridiculousness of the moms and the dance teacher. The teacher is SO rude and mean to the little girls and their moms, but they moms have nothing better to do then sit at the studio and gossip up in the viewing gallery! They cry every week saying they don't know why they subject their kids to this, yet they are still there... I guess I shouldn't judge too much since I am the one sitting on my couch watching the train wreck!

Mark and I watched the Kings Speech last weekend, what a great movie! I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know anything about English Monarchy other then Queen Elizabeth. It was a really moving movie, I highly recommend it!

and that's it for today!
