Exploring our new town

Well... not much has happened on the job front out here. But, Greg and I have gotten out of our house recently to explore what Raleigh has to offer and we have really had a good time.

Last weekend we went to an outdoor movie. It was held at the museum of art on a huge screen outside. It was really neat, everyone had lawn chairs and blankets. Some of the people brought picnic baskets and such. I really enjoyed it. Last weekend we also went to the local flea market/swap meet. We bought a desk for $10 and witnessed our first act of southern hospitality. The guy who sold us the desk delivered it to our house and helped Greg carry it up three flights of stairs!!! It was very nice to say the least.

Monday (Labor Day) - - it rained for 10 hours straight! We just stayed in and played games and watched movies. Tuesday we went to a nature park and had a picnic then walked around the mall. Wednesday we went to Durham Bulls baseball game (AAA). It was a lot of fun... we sat next to these guys who were totally heckling the visiting team and they were hilarious. It definitely added to our baseball experience-- and they had funnel cake at the ballpark, so needless to say I was enjoying my night :) Yesterday we went to the Museum of History and walked around downtown.

We've been trying to make the most of the time we have together. Its been nice to get out and see whats going on in our town. We've been trying to do something everyday rather than sit at home and wait for the phone to ring. Also, we want to take advantage of the time we have because when we do eventually gain employment we wont have this time to go and check things out.

Greg and I have been doing really well together lately. While we are both frustrated at times, it doesn't seem to take a toll on our relationship which is good. We've been really trying to communicate with one another and make the best of our situation. I have been really enjoying being a newlywed and also this whole experience with Greg.
