Day 4 and Shaved Duck

8 more days of work till I'll be spending the majority of my time packing and preparing to move. Also, only 4 days till I get to enjoy the Soulard Oktoberfest fun!! Soooo excited! Jeff and I have one of those VIP passes for Sunday so you get unlimited beer and food, as well as access to the nice toilets! I'm very excited!!

So, here is my Day 4 page of my journal.

I guess it's not the best of pictures, but oh well, I was a little lazy about trying to get a better photo.

I had a nice evening with friends. One of my co-workers and now one of my best friends came over after we got off work and we went for a walk in Tower Grove with my dog and husband. After our walk we decided to go out for some dinner. We went to The Shaved Duck in Tower Grove East. It's only a block from where one of our friends lives so we called him and asked if he wanted to join us, and he did! It has awesome food, we had a great time enjoying good food and talking. I love my friends, I'm going to miss them all sooooo much!!!

 This is how they served their Corn bread, how awesome?! My friend said it reminded her of something from an easy-bake over, so cute!

 

I got the Duck Confit Pasta, best duck I've ever eaten!

So, that's my day in a nutshell, well minus what I do at work, but that's confidential for patient privacy!

Warm Fall

Today is the 3rd day of October and I'm pretty sure the weather is in the 80s, crazy!! I also have only 9 days left of work before I'm unemployed and focusing on packing up my house! I really can't believe how quickly this year has gone by. Here are pics on my fall journal so far. 

I took a picture of my art before I added some lists of other fall activities. I wasn't sure I wanted to add more, but I like it both ways really. I love Halloween, so much fun!! I guess I went a little crazy with the Halloween theme for this page.

So, something I've done in the past and am going to try to do again with this journal; I write down 3 things that make me happy each day. It's a way to help remind me how the simplest of things can make your day and remind you of how great life is. So, I started doing it with yesterday's entry. 

It's a pretty nice activity to do at the end of the day. 

October Day 2; Lazy Sunday

Yay for October. I can't believe it's already the 10th month of the year! This is going to be a very big month of me. Resigning from my job, moving across the country, and finding a new job!! It's all very exciting!! Here is my 2nd day journal page for my Fall journaling class. 

I feel that the quote that I added is definitely describing our life right now. Things aren't perfect, and things won't be perfect, but we're going for it anyway because we know we can make things happen!!

I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but I my husband just keeps reminding me that I just need to take one thing at a time and bit by bit things will come together before you know it. I've had a nice long weekend. This week begins my count down till my last day of work. I only have 10 days of work left! It will be go by so quickly!! I can't believe it!

Ok now for some pics of what we made for breakfast this weekend. I looooove breakfast! I love cooking something different with my husband on the weekends. Eggs and coffee, the best!! So, this is what we had for breakfast yesterday....

 I was so proud of my eggs, I made four in a pan at once and didn't break a single yoke!!

Now the following is what we made for breakfast today, Jeff calls them "piggy in a coffin". They are pancakes with bacon strips cooked in them! Amazing right?! (Not the healthiest, but so delicious!!)

Yep, we had a pretty good breakfast! Hope everyone had a nice weekend!! 

Almost October

I'm very excited about starting my fall journal class tomorrow! I decided to get some pics of my journal today. It's not very exciting, I'm really not that creative sometimes, hence the reason I keep taking these classes from Janel, she's soooo inspiring.

I really want to journal about all the changes that are going to happen this month. Our life is kind of up in the air right now. We know our goal is to move to New England, but we still don't know where we'll end up. My husband just finished some interviews this past week. One of the job potentials is in the Boston area and the other is in Vermont. So, we could even be moving and buying a house faster than we expected. Our original plan was to move out to Boston and crash at Jeff's folks house till he found a job and then take our time finding a house. It's really exciting though. I thought I'd be the one to find a job first and be working for awhile before Jeff found one. So, hopefully things work out and Jeff has a job before we even move out there!! 

Wish us luck!!
