So today was Jared's first day at his new job. We both woke up early and I made him some eggs and toast for breakfast (if I was a really good wife there would have been bacon too...). I decided to drive him to the bus stop, so just after 7 we left the house and headed for the station. We sat in the car for a few minutes until the bus pulled up and with a quick goodbye kiss Jared hopped out and got on the bus. Can I just tell you that I felt like I was sending my little boy off to kindergarten?? (Granted I'm not sure exactly what that feels like, but I think what I felt was pretty close.) I pulled away choking back tears and feeling very nervous for Jared because he was going out into the big, scary working world for the first time. To make matters worse the bus followed me all the way up the street and from my rearview mirror I saw it get on the freeway. Who knew I'd get so emotional? It took me a while, but finally I realized Jared is 28, not 5, and I'm pretty sure he can take care of himself. :)
In other news, I learned several things about Walmart this morning.
1. Going at 7:30am is the best time ever because nobody is there yet. You literally have the store to yourself.
2. If you are crazy enough to go at 7:30am, make sure you park on the food side. Apparently they lock up the doors on the other side at night so you can't get in over there. I learned that one the hard way.
3. If you ever become homeless and you're looking for a cart to snatch, Walmart is the place to go. Most stores make an effort to lock up their carts at night, but there had to be at least 100 carts sitting in the parking lot this morning. Jackpot.
Anyway, I better get back to unpacking!

Despite what Jerry Seinfeld says, things are going great.
Jared turned on the TV the other night and I saw a few minutes of Seinfeld. Jerry was doing one of his little stand-up things and he was talking about how moving in with your parents is never a sign that things are going well in your life. Nobody says they plan on marrying a great girl (or guy), finding a job that pays well and has good benefits and if all else is going well they plan on moving in with their parents... Well I just have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying the time we're spending at my parents' house! And guess what Jerry, things are going great. We found a nice townhouse to move into, Jared should be starting his job soon and I rocked my interview today. So there! Anyway, I am very excited to move into our new place on Saturday (here's a plug for anyone who's available to help us move), we'll have to have a party once everything is settled!
