Catching up on the Summer (especially the past week)

I feel like it has been two weeks instead of one since I last posted. So much has changed but we also partied really hard. Let me explain since this is starting to sound really rambling like.
So last week on Monday Brian and I were waiting to hear back from the owner's of Continental on whether or not we got the manager position. We ended not getting it and have had problems with our apartment ever since making it so we have to deal with the new managers who aren't coming through like we hoped they would. (this will be explained later) After finding out we didn't get the job Brian increased his job hunting. We really wanted to have a new job found before school started since we wouldn't be able to see each other once school started if we didn't.
On our way out of town on Wednesday to grandpa day we stopped at the Best Western Motel on the south end of Logan for Brian to drop off his resume and fill out an application. He ended up getting an interview on the spot and called that night about getting trained on Thursday night. We were shocked at how fast this job came since he has been applying all summer to all different jobs only to have interviews and not get the jobs. So Brian told his boss this past Sunday that last week was his last week.
Thursday we cleaned up our apartment since we won't have time to do really anything this semester and Brian went into his job. He has loved it all so far. It is a graveyard shift job which means he is gone some nights but he will be home more and he will have time to do homework during his shift. We are excited for this since his last job had really similar hours but he couldn't do anything because of how much he had to get out. I actually went to babysit my nieces while Brian took his nap to prepare for work that night. My niece Abby was so cute. The other one was sleeping so I got to just hang out with smiling Abby. She was so much fun. I never realized how much she loves to play with her binky until then. She loves to get it stuck on her thumb and just chew on it.


Here is the proof...it is on her thumb all by herself

Friday Brian and I hung out all day. It was a blast. We went and watched his niece Kaylee perform for the Mustangs dance team's mini camp. I love watching these. I should have videoed the cute little girl in the 3-4 year old group that seriously stole the show. She really just wanted to dance. We decided we wanted to see the big surprise dance that was going to be shown at the football game that night. So we went to see the Mustangs verse Highland. It was a good game for high school football but we all felt Highland just didn't show up.

Saturday was a busy fun filled day for us. Brian's new job requires him to dress up so we went shopping to get him some dress shirts and pants so he wasn't wearing a white shirt everyday. He sure looks handsome dressed up so professionally. I will have to get some pictures of him for the blog. Anyway after shopping for him we hurried home to go up to the Family Day party going on up at the school. I ended up getting a five dollar skirt from downeast and then just played with the niece and nephews. They sure had a lot of fun playing all the different activities that Macy's had set up. The only sad thing for me is it makes me wish I still was a kid and could play some of the games. My favorite moment was when Coler dunked one of the Aggiettes on the dunk machine. He was so proud of himself since he was the only one of the three of them to do it. We then went and watched the Aggies play each other and all I can say is bring on football season. I can't wait to see our team in action. Then Saturday night we had our friends over for dinner and then headed to the demo derby. We have been out of town for every one of these this summer. We were so happy to find out on Monday that there was one for August 21st. It was a really good one to, although the kids might have helped with that since the niece and nephews showed up with us once again. I think the fires were the best part of the whole night. We had multiples. The worst was Brian being tired.

This is how Brian looked most of the night (jk)

This was one of the crashes that started one of the many fires for Heat 2

Can you tell we had a blast? We really did even though Brian looked exhausted most of the night.
Then Sunday came and here is the day that just makes me wish I had gotten the manager job. We woke up and had no hot water. I discovered this after having gotten in the shower. So I took a lukewarm/semi-cold shower and wasn't very happy. So we called the managers right after church to let them know something was up with our water heater. They couldn't find anything wrong at first then they noticed the knob had been turned a little but we still didn't have hot water. So we spent all yesterday without hot water. Then today they were suppose to have the old managers and the owners help them get it fixed but Brian didn't hear from them all morning. He tried calling and couldn't get an answer. I got home at twelve and went to go find them in the parking lot just chatting it up without the owner or old manager's even knowing that we had a problem. It was pretty ridiculous. I was really upset about it especially since the owner came over ten minutes later to say it was fixed. It was that easy of a problem and we went two days without hot water!!! This also sucks because I had to go talk to them about the problem 3 times!! For a thing like hot water...really. Okay now I am done complaining about that. I just had to put it out there.
So that is how our lovely crazy week and weekend has been. It was crazy but probably a great way to tell the summer goodbye since this is our last week before school starts.
