I've applied for about 30 jobs in the Holland/Grand Rapids area, and although I've received 4 "position has been filled" emails, I'm staying positive and hoping for the best. We aren't moving to West MI for sure, but since we have a place to live there already (renting a family house) and lots of family support, it's a great option if we get jobs there.
I miss my friends so much. I got to see Stephie the other day; she was in Dearborn visiting her parents, so we met up in Novi at the mall and had a date. :) It was a very much needed break from work. I also got to have breakfast with Rachel, my roommate freshman year at WMU, a few weeks ago; it wasn't nearly enough time to catch up, but it was wonderful seeing her, and the crepes were wonderful. :)
Mark has been working for his dad at the shop, so he's doing a lot to help us save up some money too. I'm just hoping that something happens soon for us, because this time is frustrating... I feel like we're running in place, not moving forward at all, but still exhausting ourselves. And we need our own space again - we are just the kind of people who need to have our own nest and own space. We are both missing that.
Monday was my last day off for the next couple weeks, so Mark took me to the Detroit Zoo! We packed lunch and spent the day wandering the zoo together. We went to the Dinosauria exhibit, saw Mark's lemurs (his favorite), and had so much fun in the sun together.
So, that's basically it right now. Just trying to push through until something bigger and better happens. Staying as positive as possible. Working my tail off. Speaking of which, I'm down almost 15 pounds on South Beach! I'm wearing a loose size 14 now :) Feels good to be making progress!

Movie Suggestion: "The King's Speech," (2010) Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush. AMAZING movie about the Duke of York (who becomes King George VI after his older brother renounces the throne to marry a twice-divorced commoner) and the man who helps him overcome his speech impediment to lead England as World War II is beginning. This film was brilliantly made; funny, moving, and with some of the highest quality acting I have ever seen, especially out of Colin Firth. (info from IMDB)
Music Suggestion: John Legend, "Once Again" (2006. The big single off this CD was "Save Room," which is a beautiful song, but my favorite is "Slow Dance." Great album to groove slow to, and remember the little things that make life worthwhile.
Lyrics, "Slow Dance" by John Legend.
Can we wait just a minute
Slow it down for a minute now baby
You're talkin loud
You're wilding out
Don't seem like my old lady
-
Lets go and play the song we used to play
Can we reignite the flame
Cause things just ain't the same
We can talk about the baby
We can talk until we're crazy
We can focus on it now
Or we can focus on it later
-
We can start another fight
We can argue and fuss all night
But I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with your man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
-
Move yea
Can we wait just a minute
Turn that tv off for a minute
Now politics and talkin' shit ain't really none of my buisness
Lets go and play the songs we used to play
On that old school radio
Let the music soothe your soul
-
Forget about the world
I'm groovin' with my girl
Forget about the news
Let's put on our dancin' shoes
Let's not talk about the war
Do we know what they fightin' for
I propose that we go to the floor and we slow dance
-
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with your man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move yea yea
Move yea yea
-
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin together
-
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin together
-
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin together
-
I love it
I love it
I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance
-
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with your man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
Let the music make you move
