its finally spring in md!!!

well im not exactly in md. i came to va after work this past thursday. today i discovered VA wines. robbie and i spend part of the morning and afternoon in reston, va at the great wine and grape festival. it was really need and not over whelming. va has alot of winaries more then md. which can be overwelming to try each place and if they have 6wines to try. there was about 8winaries there and they had about 6 a piece. we didnt get to three of them bc of the heat and my knee still hurting. in two weeks will be wine in the woods in columbia which im going to even with robbie in kt. :( and then we go away for a long weekend in luray. which is something we both badly needed. then theres another va one that we are going to the following weekend in va. robbie is learning and being able to start tasting the difference in wines and how they are made and what is in them. which is great!

tomorrow we are heading to md to help my mom begin to put our back yard back together. to everyones disapointment (sorry amber) my mom decided with me moving in with robbie this summer (pending house of course), bryan being a wimp about sunlight, and my mom hating the heat, she decided to get the pool filled in. i havent seen how it looks yet but from what she has told me it looks different. she is taking some of the space where the pool was as a bigger garden. which is great. she needs a project. and it will give chase more area to run around when he goes up there to visit when he finally makes the transition to va. im going to take pictures of it tomorrow when we get there. we took the trees down around the pool also so it will open up the back yard. the only concern i have is that if im the one who has to end up selling the house (hopefully in the very far future) it might be a problem with the pool being buried and people wanting to put another one in. and it would have upped the price of the house with a pool. but oh well. i can kind of see my moms reason for wanting to fill it in. robbies apartment complex has a pool for the residents however my fear of germs doesnt let me get in it like i would mine. but theres always va beach and we are heading to the keys in august.

i have to admit with the days couting down till robbie leaves for a few days im getting alittle sad. granted i can look at it like a normal we dont see eachother for a week (like when i was at hopkins) but im staying at the apartment while hes gone. its 35mins in the morning to work and 45from work. plus i plan to have some of our neighbors over for a harry potter marathon. and stef, brenda, and michelle are all coming with me to columbia for wine in the woods. i know he is going want to call me and stuff but i just want him to be able to enjoy himself with his buddies. :) he does come home sunday morning and then we will be heading to great falls to say good bye to his sister for the summer. in keeping with the typical Holl German side of the family she is biking across the USA. lol like father like daughter. im excited for her and hope she is safe. please pray for her. for me kiki has become a good friend and one of the only sisters of a boyfriend i have gotten along with and cant wait to have her as a sister in law. i know she will make a great mom and an aswome auntie if robbie and i have kids. so yea i would like her to be safe.

ok have to get ready for heading to md tomorrow. i cant wait to see chase. also please pray that robbie and i survive this house hunting episode of our relationship. and that we find one soon. :)

its amazing

its simply amazing how long hopkins can screw someone over. even 4months after she left! ok so heres the deal. when you start a new job you are on probation period. which is usually 3months. ok fine. whatever. granted while at hopkins i wasnt planning to attend jeremy smiths wedding in may. so i didnt care after hopkins let me go. (ill explain in a few). but now that a college roommate who was spost to split the drive with robbie, all 18hrs each way, cancelled, now robbie has to fly down bc he doesnt want to do the drive himself. which i cant blame him. so now he has to buy airline tickets and rent a car! ok wtf! now if it hadnt been for hopkins termating me (again ill explain in a few) i would have no problem telling wanda...tough luck im going away for a few days. which i cant do with this job bc again on probation. yea my new bosses are pretty cool and stuff and probably would let me go but i dont want to chance it. esp since i already told them that ill be gone for a week in august. again i would be able to take off on the spur if i was still at hopkins.

so to the whole termination thing with them. so after battling with hopkins you think it would be all over. nope. i didnt get paid for my vacation. which i was told i would if i had quit. ok fine. i quit now give me the time you owe me. lmao. not happening. the hr in the practice put terminated. WHAT! ok i wasnt terminated i was forced to quit. QUIT being the word! so after some research she said oh my fault termination is just a general term. grrrrr so they finally paid it to me plus of course taxes taken out. for the love of god! is it ever going to go away?

as i said my new job is going well. the dr who owns the practice told my boss that im doing a great job and hes very impressed. :) ellie (my boss) said that he hardly says stuff like that and when he does its great! i smiled. and hope i can continue to keep up the good work.

house hunting has started again. yeppie. well we have alot of funiture and stuff store in my house so we need to get on it. plus the fact that robbie is out of his apartment in the begining of september. and i would like to get the stuff out of my moms house by the end of that month. :) since shes nice enough to let us keep it there and not charge storage unit fees.

ok have to go pack. heading to va tomorow for the rest of the week!

omg its april!!!

hey everyone

well its april. work has been going good. they are happy with my progress. which is great. it takes me about 30mins from robbies each way and alittle over an hour from my moms. im dividing my time between va and md due to chase. i dont want to put him in a one bedroom apartment. so im coming home for a few nights a week to be with him. i hope robbie finds a house and wants me to move in with him so that i can have chase down there with me all the time.

this past weekend was very busy for us. saturday we went to the cherry blossom festival. yes in the wind! stef and her parents and grandmother joined us along with dave (robbies friend) from va beach. it was an awsome time and did get warmer as the day went on. as much as i love to see the trees now every year, i cant stand some people who are there. there are rules. for one no picking the blossoms. i must have seen a dozen people break this rule. the second rule is dont climb on the trees. i lost count of how many people broke this rule. it just pisses me off about this. these trees have been there for years and have survived storms, weather and other stuff. but then people go and hurt the new buds that are trying to bloom. i just want them to be around for my kids (pending if i ever get the chance to have any).

on sunday we went and picked up our new bed room funiture! im so excited. people have told me that a king size bed has saved their marriage (yes this would be women telling me) and i totally agree it willl with robbie and me.

this weekend is just a laid back easter weekend. saturday robbie is down for a while and then heading to VA bc he has dinner with his family down in Alexanderia VA. Saturday night i'm hanging out with Amberly. Sunday is laid back in my family for easter. so we will be going out to dinner somewhere then i head to va on wednesday after work.

ok have to go get ready to play in the rain!

loves and hugs!
