information overload

Well I am only 3 days in to the new job and I feel like my brain is about to explode from new information. This job is a lot harder than I thought it would be. The hours are very long. I worked 14 hours on my first day and was told that I will be working about 60-70 hours every week. Which means Nick is on his own for dinner now. I won't be getting home until at least 7 or 8 every night, sometimes 9 or 10. Not exactly ideal hours, especially if I still have this job when we decide to start having children...that will be interesting. There is allot of information to take in and learn and the computer program I am trying to learn is insanely complicated and I don't know how I am going to learn it in a week!! Hopefully it will get easier and I will feel comfortably enough to go to an appointment by myself in a week and a half.


WE had a great weekend at the beach and it was so nice to see my family. When I saw my mom I gave her a hug as if I hadn't seen her in months :) It is so hard to go from living right by them and seeing them whenever I want to not seeing them very often. It is going to be so hard once they are back in Michigan. It's funny how things change when you grow up, when I was in college I wanted to be so far away from them and now I just want my parents to move down here so we can live close again. They keep saying that in 5-6 years they might but that just seems so far away! Anyways..back to the weekend. We had a great time, went to Homeport on Friday and went for a romantic walk on the beach at 1 am. There was a full moon and it was basolutely beautiful. We even ran in to my parents on the beach, lol, that was interesting. WE spent Saturday at the boat house with friends and family and went for a boat ride. Then went to a cocktail party at a friends house on the island. WE spent Sunday on the boat with my family and Nick even got to drive for a while. He is trying to learn all about my dads boat and driving it in the intercoastal waterway so that we can take it out by ourselves one day. WE went to dinner in Wilmington on our way back to Durham and had a great time. Hopefully everything works out so we can go back this weekend, Nick and my dad have a fishing trip planned. Nick has been dying to go fishing ever since we got down here.


I am getting really excited about going to Michigan next week for Nick's sister wedding. It will be really nice to see all of Nick's family again, since we didn't get to spend much time with them at our wedding.
I miss my friends in Michigan so much and I am really hoping it all works out so that I can see them on Friday after the rehearsal dinner. We also have two other weddings this year in Michigan..so we will be back in November and December!

Well that is all for now, I will post some pictures tonight from this past weekend on the boat. Hope everyone is having a great week so far!!!!!
