Happy Thursday!

I think Thursday is generally a happy day. There are 2 good reasons for this:
1) Tomorrow is Friday
2) The Office is on NBC

I had a fabulous day today. For a while, I was enjoying my new position where I am a lot less busy, but then I started getting bored and craving the constant business. Well, today my teams finished up the last day of learning how to build IRA's and ESA's. I was coaching them and answering questions *almost* all day and I LOVED it! Tomorrow they'll start setting up real accounts which is very exciting. Also, it means I'll be even more busy! :)

Since Jay doesn't update his blog, I should also tell everyone that he got a job!!!! Well, I guess to be perfectly honest, he doesn't actually HAVE it yet. He has to pass the drug test first. I know they say not to count your chickens before they hatch, but I'm gonna go ahead with this one. He should be starting at WalMart Distribution Center later this month. He'll be on the same shift as Zachary and he'll be working in...um...order filling? I think that's it. Not entirely sure though.

3 days till the David Crowder concert! :)

We're home!

We're back from Cozumel. I really wasn't ready to leave, but in a way it's still nice to be "home". I wish all vacations were all-inclusive. We've been to quite a few places, but both agreed that this was probably our best vacation ever.
As you can see from the pictures, we spent a lot of time just laying out and playing around in the pool. The beach was beautiful and the hotel was awesome. We rented a scooter on Tuesday so we could cruise downtown to look around and buy some souvenirs. It was a blast. I love how the Mexicans use the word "lady"...as in "Hey lady, you wan sometheen special?" in every little store. Totally cracks me up!
Thursday was our 5 year anniversary. Unfortunately, Jay started feeling sick that morning and still has not recovered. We think (actually, hope) that it's the flu, and not some scary Mexican sickness. He spent most of the day in bed asleep, but I rented out some snorkeling equipment and snorkeled out from the beach by the hotel. There were SO many fish, they actually kind of freaked me out! It was fun, though.
The only other thing that wasn't great is that I haven't gotten to run in 5 WHOLE DAYS! I actually took my running shoes thinking they'd have a treadmill in the fitness room, but no such luck. I considered running down the street but the drivers there are CRAZY and there weren't any sidewalks where we were at. Anyway, I'm sure my legs probably enjoyed the break. I'll head out for a nice run in the morning.
Oh, by the way, if you scroll over the pictures, captions will show up. Let me know if the slide show doesn't work for you!

Pubs in America

Today we went to a pub for lunch. In case anyone is wondering, NO, it was not my choice. I didn't like eating at pubs in Britian, let alone in America. But I must admit that the Caesar salad there, while not wonderful, was certainly better than any salad at a real British pub.
We met this couple at church a few months back and had yet to spend any time with them outside of church, so when they invited us to lunch today, I couldn't say no! :) And I'm glad I didn't, it was a good time despite the choice of dining establishment.
I also ended up buying the Nike+ armband. I haven't tried it yet, as I do not believe in running in 90* scorching sun. I'll use it tomorrow morning and let y'all know how it works...I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats with anticipation!!
Also, for anyone keeping track of the weird foods I've been bravely trying lately, I have a new one for you: vichyssoise. It can best be described as "blahhheeghghg" (with a gagging sound at the end.) I went to a dinner party with some friends last night. The party was fun, but seriously...cold potato soup???
