So I've given up on this posting pictures thing for the time being. I'm not sure what is wrong. Luke gave me some instructions, but I have neglected to follow them yet. We'll see if I get there or not.
Anyway - I finally have a full time job! I accepted a position as a receptionist at a therapy center very close to our house. I am excited about it. The people who work there are wonderful. I think I will get along great with all of them. It is a small business so I'd better! I start orientation on Tuesday and will spend the next week or two finishing at the Kendall's and starting at VSC. This job is an answer to prayer. Dan and I are so thankful that God put it in our laps (along with 2 other job offers). Isn't God good? We think so.
Dan is still working at ERAC and doing AMAZING at it!
We are still looking for a good church to get plugged into. We have only been here for two weekends, and we canned both of those churches after one visit. Any recommendations?
I went over to Lacey's this morning to make apple pie fillings and applesauce. What fun! We decided to make it an annual thing; however, we will plan a whole day to make the filling and sauces not just a morning. We were too rushed. We also might get into the blueberry and strawberry picking! Yay for being Susie-homemakers!

Honeymoon Pics (Take 3)
Here we go everyone...let's see if they post this time!
This is the view from our room. You are looking at the beautiful Pacific Ocean.
Here is an invisible crab...can you find him?
Awww...aren't we beautiful?
Okay, that's all I'm doing for now. I don't think these are going to work.

Job Searching
For the time being, I have given up on finding a teaching job. I am not even sure I want to teach. I'd like to work, but I only want to work if I like the job. I like school. Maybe a full-time student type position would suit me well...
I did interview for a receptionist position at a counciling center here in town. They Loved me but received more apps. then expected so they are doing more interviews and hiring at the end of the month. I believe I have submitted 7-9 more resumes for various accounting and secretarial positions in the last few days. Most of those positions are through a temp agency which is not so good but at least it is a job!
That's the latest! I'm gonna try to figure out this picture posting thing now...

We're Back!
We are back in the good ole US of A, and we are so glad to be here. Dan and I had a blast in Mexico, but our first thought once we hit the Houston Airport was, "Where can we get some American food?" (By "American" we mean greasy, fatty fast food) We inhaled our dinner at Famiglio's Pizza (like Sabarro). It was FANTASTIC!!! Don't get us wrong - we loved trying all kinds of Mexican, Italian, and exotic seafood dishes, but after a week of it we were ready to get back to normal food!
I'd put pictures of the honeymoon up, but my mother has hidden them from me on my own computer. Notice that our honeymoon pictures are up on HER blog. My mother-in-law currently has our hard copies of the pictures. Sooooo - Dan and I have nothing. Sorry! Complain to the mothers - it's their fault.
While in Mexico, we went kayaking (sp) in the ocean which was sooo fun! Swimming was great all week because the hurricane left behind some phenominal waves! The highlight of the trip was the ATV tour we took (4-wheelers). We drove those bikes all over the Mexican countryside. We went through towns, streams, fields, dirt roads, paved roads...everywhere! It was so much fun! Dan and I decided we really really really want ATVs now. The food really was great down there (contrairy to the tone in the first paragraph). There were five restaurants at our resort, and we liked all but one of them. We went to the bad one for lunch one time and didn't like it at all. We thought the dinner menu might be better, but why waste a perfectly good dinner? We LOVED the mexican restaurant. Roasted cheese is my favorite! I'm going to learn how to make it.
The flight back was much longer than anticipated because of bad weather. We arrived at Houston about 20 minutes early, and we boarded and taxied early. Then it all stopped. Bad weather had prevented earlier flights from leaving so there was a LONG line of planes waiting to take off. We sat in our plane on the runway for 1 1/2 hours. It really wasn't bad at all because we got lots of free stuff to keep us occupied. I didn't mind one bit. The part I did mind was not getting to my parents house until 2am Sunday morning. (Originally we would have been there by 10:30 Saturday night).
So we are back and desperately trying to clean up our apartment. It is a disaster zone right now. We are willing to go on another honeymoon at anytime though!
