Freedom!

As of 5:05 pm today, I have been free! I have 12 days off of school and work, and blessedly little to do during that time. Granted, we are going to move one of those days so we need to pack. And I am going to babysit one of those days, but those boys are easy and just like to play with their friends, so I'll probably read a book that day. And my dad and stepmom are coming down for the 4th of July, so we'll hang with them a bit. And I do still have to work on a project for my class. But no work and no class. I'm so excited.

Tomorrow I'm going to the Raleigh Farmer's Market with my friend Diana. Neither of us has ever been, so I'm excited to see what kinds of things they have there and if there are better or worse deals than in the grocery stores. We're also going to a store called Aldi, which supposedly has shopping carts which you have to pay to use but then get your quarter back when you return the cart...just like in Poland! I'm very excited and will definitely post pictures for you all, since most people have never been to a store like that!

Shannon is working his second-to-last shift at Pizza Hut as I write. He's enjoying his new job and very excited to be done working with pizza after 3 1/2 years. I'm excited too...no more of my husband crawling into bed at night smelling like food! We are both quite excited to both have "normal" jobs for the first time since we've known each other. Maybe we'll even have social lives again! At least until school starts in 7 weeks...
