I'm almost totally settled into my apartment now. I've gotten most of the odds and ends I still needed. MK and her family actually got me the vacuum cleaner off my registry. I was so excited when it came in the mail :) It was great timing too, my apartment needed to be vacuumed by that point. I also finished getting all the practical items off my registry. Now, it's just the fun little gadgets and gizmos left.
I'm still actively working on the job search. I had a follow-up phone interview that went well. I'm still working on applying and all that good stuff though. Until I get an official offer, I just have to keep on applying and networking. I'm hopeful though, very hopeful. Please, keep praying for me, I really appreciate all the prayers, tips, and leads from everyone.
My dad came in town on Friday!!! I hadn't seen him since February. It was awesome that he was able to make it here for a day. He and I went for a nice, long walk around my neighborhood- we even happened upon a golf course, so score one for me. Then, Conor got off work, and we all went to dinner with a few of his friends. Saturday morning, we had an early Father's Day breakfast before Conor had to go to work. Then, Dad and I went to visit Memaw and another one of his friends before he had to go catch his plane. I just loved getting to spend time with him. Hopefully, the next time one of us visits the other it will be for more than just a day or two. We're due for a real visit I think.

Last night, my good friend Melissa invited me over for dinner and movie. She made us tacos with all the fixin's- so tasty! And I rented the movie Gangster Squad. We had a lot of fun eating, watching the movie, and talking into the wee hours of the morning :)
Delicious meal made by Melissa
Today (and yesterday too), I worked on getting the last real necessities for my apartment. I painted my nightstand. My mom and I went through a lot of the boxes and bags of stuff from Memaw's to see what's mine, hers, and Conor's so that we can organize it all.
I'm doing better with WW and Points again this week since I'm getting more settled and have internet again. I have also been stocking up my kitchen with tasty, healthy treats and meals so that I will stay on track. And, to help stay on a schedule, I am excited that I will be starting my summer job this week. I'm tutoring at Dyserburg Community College three days a week.
Now, to figure out the game plan for tomorrow :)
