New Phone!

Wow, it's been a week already?!? Where has the time gone? Well, let's travel backwards in chronological order to see if I can get you caught up on the high points.

I purchased a new phone today! I have never done this online, as I am more of an *in person* kind of consumer, especially for phones that I have to use daily for 2 years. However, I have talked to two friends who own this phone and like it. It's the Samsung Alias 2. I'm excited, especially after much time and frustration spent on the Verizon page Saturday and today, tooling the website (which isn't that impressive) and chatting with reps.

Today I spent a little over an hour doing an *interview* with a new SLP who would like my job. That's right, I was the one who took her around and showed her the ropes. It was slightly awkward on two levels. One, I know her. When she was in undergrad I was in grad school and we worked on an article together. So, it was weird, but also kind of nice because I felt like I could talk to her more like a friend. Two, the director of student services had other obligations, so I was the one showing her around. On top of that, while I've enjoyed this position, we all know there are downsides to every job. So, I tried to give her the information she needed, while trying to put a positive spin on things without lying. Who knows, maybe the people I didn't like, she will get along with fine. She really seemed excited about it though, so that's good.

I've been looking for a job in Mississippi lately, so I spent some time filling out job apps Saturday. Haven't had to do that for a while (my contracting company has been taking care of that). Not fun. Went to my parents house on Saturday for a cookout and just to spend some more time with them. When Scott and I left, I realized that I won't be able to do that anymore in Mississippi and how much I'm going to miss it.

Sunday we went shopping after going to the Flying Bean/Joe which is our favorite coffee shop and we religiously go there every Sunday morning (pun intended). The shopping was to Kohl's because we had some Kohl's cash to spend. I got a bracelet and earrings to go with my new dress (to wear to weddings).

Other than that, we've just been plugging along at trying to get more details worked out for this big move and me trying to finish out my school year before the craziness that is summer begins.
