April Showers Bring May Flowers

I have never been a fan of rain except for on days when I could curl up on the couch and be a potato all day. However, I could totally use a nice day of rain right now. I never had allergies (that I knew of) until I moved to Florida. The pollen is so insanely existent that there is a thick orange film on my bright red car. Sheesh, I would love a heavy rain and some more Claritan in my medicine cabinet!

Last weekend, I got to go to Savannah, Georgia for the first time which was nothing short of what I expected. It is a beautiful little town buzzing with art, culture, and history. I can totally see why people fall in love with this city. I surely did. It was great spending time with Jane and Dave -laughing, talking, and simply catching up on life. They are so easy-going and put my mood at ease. There is never a dull moment with this family, and I am glad I can consider myself a part of that. We ate at Paula Dean's restaurant called The Lady and Sons. I totally get the rave now because the food was deliciousness. I felt like I had just been treated to the world's most famous southern, home -cooked food including fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes & cream style corn (mixed together, of course), mixed greens, fried chicken, casseroles, sweet tea, & more. YUMMY! And let's not forget about River Street Sweets. I tried pralines & bear claws for the first time. We walked around the city & then drove out to Tybee Island & even managed to get lost & take the scenic route back home. :) I was glad because the longer we drove, the more time I got to spend with Jane & Dave. They are staying in Daytona all week, so I drove down to spend another evening with them yesterday at Daytona Beach. We ate at Carrabba's, talked & laughed, took a stroll along the ocean walk (after they treated me to a grande no-water vanilla chai tea latte from the famous Starbucks), sat by the pool while singing & enjoying the weather, and laughed a lot more. These people are amazing. I am a lucky girl.

Update on the job situation: Well, I can tell you that I am looking at possibilities in Santa Barbara and Long Beach, CA. The great news is that I will most likely end up moving to the same area and working with Layla!!! We are currently interviewing for jobs in both areas. We are both open to different areas in Cali but have talked specifically about these two. I believe these are some fun and exciting times to be had, according to this picture haha! I will be spending a lot more time in Huntington this summer because I get to go back and work for Pathways since they never took me off of the payroll! I am still an employee there, so I can easily have summer work. Any bit of $$$ will help since I will not have any source of income from my current job. I will hopefully be babysitting a little as well, especially once my best friend Kayla goes back to work in July. I cannot wait to see my lil miss Delaney Ryen Boggs. She is due June 8th, so I will be home shortly thereafter. I will try to keep you guys posted as I figure out what is next.

Still to come: this weekend I'm truckin' it up to Warner Robbins, GA to visit Kristen & Dan! YAY! Then, I will end another work week by turning 26 (crazy) and being greeted by my sister Jenn & her boy Alex, my cousin Ashlee & her boy LJ, and my friends Laura & Josh for a weekend in Orlando! Holy cow, this is excitement! They are flying down (except the latter two -they are my neighbors, lol) for $17.99 each way (per person) thanks to the brilliant Allegiant Air. Woo-hoo! It will be a short trip but well worth it, I'm sure. I can't wait to see my family! Then, after yet another work week I will fly to Colorado to spend a weekend with the Lynsey & Mike. Then, the dreaded packing/moving begins. Yikes! My, how time flies. I like it.

I love exclamation points!!!!!! haha!!!!!!! :)
