Want to see our house with the new paint?!
Us, too. The painted did not show up and is not returning calls. We have no idea what's up, but we are pretty bummed. We had moved all the furniture and taken all the outlet covers off. We have all the paint... just no painter. Hopefully we can find someone else and get it done this summer...

2/5ths there
As of yesterday, I am 2/5th finished with my class. I really, really cannot wait for it to be over. It requires lots of work. This past session, we had to answer 3 questions for our discussion. Each answer was 500 words+. After we read 3-5 articles. Then we had an assignment on top of that, which was 600+ words. In 3 days. This happens twice a week. Although next week I have two videos to do instead of writing things out... joy! Just 3 more weeks...
So with my class, I haven't had a whole lot of free time. However, this week I did manage to sneak in Harry Potter 1-5 and three trips to the gym. I also made zucchini bread and strawberry bread. Yummy! We still haven't hung the curtains I bought at Dirt Cheap, but they will be hung before Thursday... because my parents are coming! They are also stopping at IKEA for us on the way here, so hopefully I can update with what they bring.
Our Mississippi trip was great! We swam everyday, went to 3 Dirt Cheaps, and ate. J had 2 golf lessons and played twice. I got to eat Abner's! How I miss the grilled chicken tenders.... It was so good to spend some time there. We haven't spent that much time there since we moved. As we were packing up, I checked our flight and saw it was delayed. I called and they said it might arrive earlier, so we should head on over, but they would switch our flight from ATlL to RDU to the later flight. All was well... until I started checking online that the place flying INTO GTR was being delayed over and over... then. Cancelled. Ugh! That was the last flight of the day. So after talking with an agent, we booked a 5:30 am flight out of Birmingham (J needed to get back to work!). J's parents had waited with us at the airport, so we just drove straight to Birmingham. We stayed in a hotel pretty close to the airport. We took the shuttle to the airport... and we couldn't check in??? It took us almost 30 minutes to check in since our rebooked tickets weren't done correctly. Then the security line... how I loathe it. The line was insanely long and we had 20 minutes to catch our flight. As we finally made it through (me being on the verge of a meltdown) here the final call for our flight, so we book it and just barely caught it. Whew! After that, I wanted to be done flying for a while, but things pop up, which I will discuss later.
We finally made it to Krispy Kreme here! It opened right before we moved and we have never been. No clue what is wrong with us. But now all is right with the world.
Last Friday, we went to eat at Barry's Cafe in Cary. J had won a gift certificate there during a golf tournament. It was in a shopping center, so we didn't have high hopes. But it was so good! It is the perfect place for us because they serve breakfast all day everyday, but they also serve burger type stuff for J. I had the best French Toast! We will definitely be going back. After we finished up, we headed to the mall to buy J some more khakis and polos since he doesn't have to wear a shirt and tie anymore. Exciting!
Saturday after J played golf, we rented How Do You Know?. It was pretty good!
We also found out this week that my brother is getting married in 2 weeks. In Texas (hence more flying for me.) J doesn't have any more time off built up after our trip to MS, so he isn't going. Since my parents are coming here next week, I am riding to KY then to TX with them. Then they will drive me to Little Rock so I can fly home. They are going to be some serious road warriors!
And finally, a small house update. While Caitlin and Brian were here, I bought a few new colored glass pieces at TJ Maxx Homegoods.
The purple (My fav!) was $6, and the blue and pink ones on the left were $5 each. Not bad! And you may notice the blue color in the middle there. Well we were making sure we liked that color since the painter will be here in the morning! It is called Weathered Glass, which goes well with our dining room (Sea Glass). Super excited to be getting everything done! And once my parents stop by IKEA, we will have something for over the mantle. It's all coming together slowly. I will try to do an update once the painting is complete.
