We survived the hurricane! Thank God! :) My luck with hurricanes thankfully continues. *knock on wood* Though reading the news it seems like it was luck all around that it wasn't worse (for us anyway) than it could have been.

Mike and I have been in the new house for close to two months now. I feel like I'm finally starting to get settled in the house like I don't feel strange in the house and I'm getting used to being here. Of course, I still have brain fart moments where I reach for something where it used to be, like toilet paper for example, and suddenly "Oh, yeah it's not there anymore. Different house."

When we were first moving in, Mike joked that the house was a fixer upper - though not as bad as his friends, Tom and Sean's house. They bought a house a couple of years ago. We stayed there the last time we were in Maryland. There's a huge area in front of the house that is completely gutted and it's basically a ditch. Their basement's a mess. They told us nightmare stories about lighting issues and having to replace the wiring and other problems. Our house is definitely not that bad, but we definitely have our own issues to deal with here.

I'm feeling a little down. I went to my job interview. I thought it went fairly well. They didn't ask a lot of questions, but I thought I did a good job with the questions they asked. They said they were interviewing five people and would be hiring two. I thought my chances were good, but I got a call later and didn't get it.

It's not that I really wanted that job, but I've been rejected over and over lately and it's disheartening. I try to look at the positive and for every batch of applications I've filled out I've at least gotten 1 or 2 interviews out of it. But then I go back to the negative and I've still been rejected like 6 or 7 times out of those jobs, not to mention the jobs were immediately after I apply I get a rejection e-mail.

It probably doesn't help that today would have been my dad's 72nd birthday.

Anyway...on to the wedding recap.

Not surprisingly the last couple of days before the wedding were really hectic. It didn't help that I made some of the same mistakes I usually make, like not asking for help and waiting to the last minute on things. I waited too long to get programs for the wedding and I ended up buying this downloadable program from Etsy. The only problems with it was I was going to have to cut the programs myself after they were printed out. And when I went to Office Depot to get the card stock the woman who sold it suggested, I couldn't find it. I had to buy a different kind and hope they came out okay and didn't look too cheap.

Unfortunately I had to wait until the next day to print them out. Usually I could print them out in the front room where the printer was whenever I wanted, but Mike's aunt was up for the wedding and sleeping in there. The next morning it took me forever to get it printed out correctly. I had to leave to get my hair done and had to show Michael how to do it. I ended up getting to my aunt's to do my hair later than I should have and she gave me grief about it all day.

Running around... )
