Friday, I took a vacation day so I could relax before my interview, which wasn't relaxing at all I might add. The interview went great. I don't think I even told you want the interview was so here's a quick list. It was with the RTC (Regional Toning Center) which is owned by Gannett, the same company that owns most of the papers you read around the US, and some magazines. Basically what I was interviewing for was to be an Imaging Specialist, I would edit all of the photos to get them ready for print. Which is what I love to do. It was great pay, benefits, and work atmosphere, the kicker, and you all knew there would be one...the hours. Basically, the paper/magazine business is 24 hours a day 365 days a year, news is happening when the rest of the world sleeps. So, obviously being that I would be the newbie at least for 3 months, I would have the 11:30pm-5:30am shift, which I am going to say this and then probably not say any more...I love my family and being able to spend holidays and nights and weekends with them, and when Dan and I decide to have kids I want to spend as much time with them as possible. Even though I really want that high paying job, I will never want it enough to give up what is most important in life to me. So I told them to give it to someone else, I will say, I was top 10 of 220 applicants so I at least know what my skills are and that I do have a talent (yes there was an actual test on the computer for editing that I had to do). So that's how the day went, I left with my head held high, and a smile on my face!
Dan went to see an old college roommate Friday afternoon to play some golf and hang out, then Saturday they went to Davenport for a golf outing (bachelor party) and got home about 10:30 or so Saturday night. It was really good for him to get some time with the college buddies, he was really tired when he got home, I spent the day with my mom and dad. Mom and 
I ran some errands, I got some new running shoes, and we got started painting their house. They are redecorating the whole house, starting with the main level. I'm pretty excited because growing up we never really did too much after we moved in. So I'm excited for it to be a whole new house! Sunday, Dan and I relaxed pretty much all day, I did my 5 miles, which was actually a very good run, Dan actually said to me, "you ran 5 miles, you weren't gone very long," and I replied, "ha, I felt like I was gone forever." Training is going awesome, Dan worries constantly, which is what I love about him, he's worried that something will happen and I wont be able to get a hold of him or anything like that. If he didn't worry a little I think it would bother me more. I found the map of the park and where all we run for the marathon, I am so excited 210 days to go, I should put a countdown on the side...I'll do that later...but for now here is the map, and I will attach some more photos later, for the past post too!
Now for Buddie, he's a day to day puppy. Some days he seems great other days we worry and I cry. For the most part he does wonderful and still is the fun puppy, other days, he doesn't feel well, doesn't want to eat, and gets sick. The getting sick part is usually when we are gone over night, or if one of us is gone over night, strange but true, I think he just worries were not coming back for him and he just gets anxious. So we just deal with it, and he is such a lover. I have a lot of photos I will post later tonight, I promise.
Other than that, things are great around here, Dan had the big 25 yesterday, and go a lot of yummy cookies at work. It was softball night last night so I went to watch (first time) and then went to the bar for a drink but he stayed with Doug and I went home. Were going to have out date this weekend, get all dressed up and have a nice dinner together. I will hopefully post before that though haha. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!
Love,
