So it's been awhile since I've written, can't help it. Things have been busy. I was sitting for this one cat named Mark. He was a nice guy with two daughters for the summer. At first, I was stoked that one client referred me to him, money never hurt, after a few days...it was more trouble. First off, he originally told him I'd be there no later than 8...The first night his girlfriend did get home at 8. Then the next night 9:45 and then 10:30 and then 11:30. I had to wake up the next morning at 6 am and it was causing fights in my relationship. Greg hated to see me being taken advantage of. So, sadly, after 4 days, I had to resign. Yes, I have bills to pay, but it was causing more trouble and after Greg and I discussed it, it was better for me to leave. My bills are still paid, I just don't have that much play money.
July fourth was coming up and to have some fun we went to the Sam Houston Race Track. It was actually more fun than I'd thought it would be. We went with Greg's friends John && Craig who was visiting from the Army. Placing bets was fun. We bet every race and won a good amount of bets. I can't remember exactly, but all I know is we spent $60 and wont $45 back. $15 isn't a bad for a night of some drinks and bets at the races. Fourth of July was relaxing, after not being able to spend time together in the past 10 days, Greg and I just wanted to stay home and bbq. It was well worth it.
I did not know that Houston had a theater district. Which is Actually pretty cool. I helped plan my first event there! It was for a local film company called InOurSity Films. It wasn't that bad. They showed 4 shorts, talked a little about themselves and then we had the raffle. Us girls, Brit, elana && me have been working so hard on it! I was chatting with Brit most of the night and we exchanged numbers. She didn't know I just came back a few months ago and we'll probably hang out and go dancing or something!! I need to move my hips.
Yesterday Greg and I had to drive up to Austin to start packing up most of his stuff cause his lease is up at the end of July. Boy, we did a good job at getting a sufficient amount of stuff but we still have to go up there next weekend to finish getting it. We will probably end up having to get a U-Haul which isn't bad cause that means we won't have to jam pack our cars, but more money, eek. I bet Greg will probably try to convince madre to pay for it. Anyhow, it was exciting to move his stuff out cause that means we're one step closer to having our own place. =)
Niko Nikos...man, The best Greek food I have ever had. That place was packed && now i know why. It truly was a pretty good lunch && the dessert was just as good, we had wedding cookies, baklava, and something else that I can't even begin to spell. Then Greg && I started chatting about the wedding and we thought it'd be cool to have a night wedding with a dessert bar instead of the main course. It's a thought and I think it would be cheaper, but who knows. I still have about 2 1/2 yrs before our ceremony...Other than that life is going pretty well, bills are getting paid and we're still loving on each other each chance we get. Sure I miss San Diego, but then again, life does move on. I keep in touch with my family && friends and aside from not hanging out that much with people, things are the same.
San Diego will always be home to me and I will always miss it, but life moves on. My future happened to be 1500 miles away and so I went with it. Perhaps after he is done with school we'll be back in Cali, probably los angeles, but then again, we want to live in New York..and talking about NYU...Lets hope these dreams become a reality.
