What craziness is

Wow it's been over a month since I wrote in here! My apologies to all.

Things have been crazy. You all know I work a low paying job so I have been picking up tons of extra hours to help get a little extra money. Dave's promotion finally went through...yay Chef Assistant!

Also, we have been house hunting. This generally has been consuming my days off. Driving around and looking at houses. Trying to decide if we really need this or that in a house. Meeting with our real estate agent and the bank. Buying a house is no cake walk friends! Especially if it is a starter home. I want it to be perfect, but I realize that is a far dream.

Between all of that, Dave and I took two trips. The first was at the end of September. We went up north to visit our families in PA. It was a surprise to my dad, who turned 50, and to my Grandmom, who was getting an award. We spent some time with Dave's mom and took a day to go see something I have been waiting years to see. That's right folks! Dave and I went to see The Newsies at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ.


I first fell in love with the Newsies in college. A good friend of mine suggested it as a "snow day" movie. Within the first few minutes, it was instant love. The music, the actors, the story...I loved it all! Finally, I would see it on stage!!

All in all, it was a great show. I studied theater in college and I was picking about a few things here and there. I excepted it to be a tad more energetic as well.

After the show we were able to meet Ben F. who played Davey. He is a good friend of one of my co-workers and he was great! We took a picture for proof that we met each other in case Emily, my friend, needed it.
The second trip was a camping trip. This trip was a blast! It was cheap and we had so much fun with some good friends. Dave and I really deserved the quiet time. I'll be writing more about that in a blog post later.

So that leaves us to today. It's my Friday! Tomorrow is our 2nd anniversary together! We are celebrating by going to Food and Wine (where we met) and staying one night at the Animal Kingdom Lodge! Again, that will be a post for another time!
