Sorry I couldn't resist putting some squirrels in. They are all over the place here. Sophie chases them up a tree when she goes outside. They are really cute and its so cool how golden they are. It gives me a flashback to watching sword in the stone. So funny when he's turned into a squirrel.
Ok so my blog is getting really finnicky. It only lets me load pictures every other week and then only on weekends and holidays and basically its really annoying, but I hate to leave a post without a picture cause a picture is really helpful in keeping the mind alert. I get bored when people only write its like reading someone's journal which I've heard is wrong.
So I realize that I keep posting a lot of pictures ad commenting on them but not really telling what is going on in our life and I'm sorry. I just like pictures. So here is my post that'll hopefully update everyone on our lives. I am still searching for a job and not very enthusiastically, I have to say. Its hard here. There are no jobs and a lot of people looking. I've been on 3 interviews and I didn't think any but one went well. The one that did go well gave me the job. It was to babysit their son 3 days a week, but I was supposed to replace their current babysitter and the next day she called and fired me cause she just couldn't bear to fire the other girl. And there my friend is a record in how fast you can be fired. I was all excited and then instantly went to depressed. Now i'm just trying to stay busy with the few things I have to do.
At least I have friends here who want to hang out cause they are in the same position. I might start teaching my friends kids to play piano if I find some good starter books. That would be just for fun. My friend Genoveva is still doing her photography here and I was a guinea pig the other day so our other friend Larissa could work on her portfolio. She is a makeup artist adn I have to say she is pretty dang good. I've never been into makeup so this different but it was so fun and the pictures were really good. If I can get more to load then I'll get them on here too. Or you can check out her website at, http://gwaymentphoto.com/blog/.
I've been trying to take Sophie out more since otherwise she digs in our yard and so the yard is gross and I have to clean her whenever she comes in. Steve and I rode our bikes around the old part of town this week. Its been beautiful weather here. The old town is pretty cool but its so small. Its only a few blocks. Larissa and I went exploring for fun and found this store with vintage costumes. It had the most amazing flapper dresses and awesome hats. There were turbans and viking outfits. Now we want to live in this store and just play dress up all the time.
So Steve and I tried to ride bikes with Sophie on the leash and it was a bit rough. At least when we got to the park it wasn't so bad cause we can let her off and she kept up with us on the bikes pretty well. And thats about all the excitement that has been going on here for me.
Steve is getting to the end of this semester and thank goodness. Its a bit challenging at the end cause there are papers to write and everything seems to be happening at once. Then in April or the beginning of May he will take the Step 1. Its the first of I think 3 tests he has to take that all med students take. So he has to do well, but I'm not terribly worried since he's such a good student. He is very good at planning his time and studying. (I would have already failed at med school since I never aquired those skills) As soon as he takes the test he can start applying for rotations.
We are hoping to stay in Saginaw so we won't have to move but the rotations here start in september so he would most likely have to do at least one rotation before that somewhere else. Don't ask where since we don't know. If we get into Saginaw then we can most likely stay here almost until graduation. So were excited to maybe put down roots and not be so all over the place. Also a person in the ward that is moving might give us their piano which is so exciting cause then I could play and maybe give some lessons to beginners that I could charge for.
Stephen has started riding his bike to the hospital he studies at which saves on gas and leaves me with the car to roam the town in. We also have some friends that bought a house a ways out of town and we happened to been enroute to either school place on 2 days a week so they give Steve a ride, which is nice. We really are lucky to have so many of our friends that go to Ross all here in Michigan. Its not as hard to move around when you take your friends with you. So I'm pretty sure thats all the interesting bits of what is going on in our lives. Anyone who feels the need to get out of town and visit would be welcome. Au revoir.
