Possibilities

This week Roberts and I went to a new place to decide if that is where we wanted to spend the next few years of our lives. While we were there I talked to an adviser to find out my options for school. We attempted to find an apartment and looked for jobs. Let's just say it was less than amazing. Our first day there we met with a guy at an apartment search place and he really helped up narrow things down. He took us to what he called "the nicest" apartments in town. I guess I have been spoiled by where we live now but nothing there even compared to what we have. Things in my meeting with the adviser went well so that was a bright spot in the day. The campus is really big and confusing to navigate so we got lost about 20 times. We went home that night without finding any jobs or an apartment.

On day two things were a little different. We looked for some jobs, and I found out that the job I was hoping for had been filled. boo. We were tired of looking at apartments and being disappointed so we didnt really want to look anymore on that day. Once we got into town we called my sisters boyfriend to see if he wanted to have lunch with us and he agreed we would meet at 12:15. This gave us around 45 minutes to waste. There had been some lofts that our apartment finder guy had mentioned that were a little above our price range and he said he would check them out for us the day before. We forgot about them so I thought we could go look at the before lunch since we were in the area. I got the maps on my iphone and we headed to find the lofts. After doing that same loop we got lost on the day before Roberts was ready to give up but I convinced him to try one more time and just to park and we could walk to them. After going up hill and back down hill and going on campus to search for these apartments it was obvious we were in the wrong place and Roberts was sure of it. We stopped to look at a map and a very friendly girl let us know we were in the wrong place. After all why would lofts that were not affiliated with the school be on campus? We slowly made are way back to the car and took our sweaty bodies to lunch. On the way I couldn't understand why Roberts kept turning the opposite way of the restaurant until all of a sudden we pulled up in front of the lofts. They were at the total other end of the street. I had my map upside down. Since it was already time to meet our friend we left and went to have a pretty good lunch by the river. After lunch and a little convincing we drove back to the loft to see if we could have a look.

Easter Eve

Well it is Easter weekend and Roberts and I headed home to celebrate! I was hoping to go see a friend on our way home which would make our drive around 7 hours instead of the usual 5 hours. The plan was to leave our apartment around 7:00 am, but like usual I slept in. We didn't get in the car until around 9. We were going to take our usual route and then veer off to go to our friends house a little further down the road. Of course the second we turned off the interstate we completely lost cell phone service! This meant that we also lost our gps signal on our phones and the map we had ready to follow. Luckily I used to live in that area so I decided that we would just skip the party and go home to see our families instead. After a about 6 hours of driving Roberts dropped me off at my parents house and he headed into town to see a friend. My family and I drove to town on a mission to change our cell phone service over to Verizon. After 2+ hours we left we a regular phone and 2 iphones!! Roberts got his iphone a few weeks ago and has been flaunting it ever since. I love my iphone and I have only had it for a day now! After leaving the Verizon store we decided we would have 5 guys for dinner and head to a movie. We met Roberts and his family at the theater to see Water for Elephants! It was really good! It followed the book really well and I really enjoyed it. After talking in the parking lot we drove home and relaxed before finally going to bed. It was a nice day to be able to spend with mine and Roberts families!

Flowers!

Yesterday after my post about our anniversary I got a call from a flower delivery company! Roberts had gotten me flowers. The guy on the phone said that the girl had gotten into the building and would be at my apartment in just a few minutes! I waited about 15 minutes and got another call... the girl was lost in my building. She was all the way on the other side of the building when I finally found her and my flowers are BEAUTIFUL!!!
