Well things have finally died down to a semi normal state for us! We're finally here in North Carolina. It was a bumpy ride, leaving at 3am with 2 freaked out cats who pooed and meowed most of the drive down. I did give them Richard's Organic Pet Calm, the first does didn't work well, but it's understandable because they we're just too freak out. The second dose worked wonders!! Barely a peep. I continue to give it to them with all the people coming in and out of the apt. But we made it and couldn't be happier.
The apartment is fantastic! One of my favorite features is the big window that lets tons of light in. It's always bright in here and lifts up my spirits: ) And we all enjoy the balcony, just sitting and relaxing out in the fresh air. We managed to get everything unloaded off the pod in a few hours, but are still unpacking, figuring out where to put all of our stuff. I hope by the end of this week the apartment is all unpacked and there's no boxes or piles of junk around.
In the middle of all this, Rob insisted we go to Asheville for the Bele Chere Festival. He went last year with Plaid Nation and loved it. And since we're so close to it this year (just 2 hours) he felt that we couldn't pass it up. I had a wonderful time in Asheville and enjoyed the festival a lot. It was nice to see the kind of arts and crafts they have down here. I want to go again when we have a house and buy things for it. We ate at the Laughing Seed twice for lunch and dinner! Veggie food never tasted so good!! They also have awesome mixed drinks and beer. Oh and the drive to Asheville was so lovely! We drove through some mountains that loomed like giants in the fog. And we pass by lots of open grass and farms, something I don't see enough of. We plan to go back to Asheville in Oct and stay at a B&B for our anniversary, I can't wait.
Other than that, things are good. We're not running to the stores all day spending tons of money on those small, but necessary things. Nor eating out, but cooking actual meals. Today I'm going to start exercising again so I don't become fat lazy Suzy. Job hunting is...going, but we're confident that at least Rob will have a job within a few weeks. I'm crafting a little bit too. I just started loom knitting and am going to make a blanket. I can't wait to start embroidering and sewing again!

The List Update
We were in North Carolina this past weekend getting things ready for the big move. We got ourselves a nice apartment that we're super excited about moving into. (photos are on flickr *points to right*) Rob also had a couple interviews that are pretty promising. I also got to cross a couple things on my 28 Things to do When I'm 28 List !
14. Eat at a new place.
This was easy since North Carolina is new to us! But I specifically wanted to go to Cabo Fish Taco and they had awesome awesome food! Huge portions at great prices and fresh sides and yum yum yum....wish I was there now. Also I had a delicious mojito: ) Can't wait to go back there again.
23. Go to a winery.
Rob's parents (who were with us) wanted to check out one of the local wineries since North Carolina has a bunch of them. We went to Ray Len which turned out to be a nice place. Their wine was quite good and we ended up buying a couple bottles, including some sparkling wine to celebrate our first night in our apartment next week.
And that's it right now! Once things get settled I'll pursue more things on the list. If things go as planned, we're going to go to Asheville next weekend and that is traveling to a new place for me: )
And I guess this will be the last post in New York. Next time I write we'll be in North Carolina! See y'all later!

Run Rob Run!
This past 4th of July Rob ran his first race with some of the guys at work. He did his personal best and can't wait to do another race!
Ever since Rob quit smoking little over 2 yrs ago, he's been running. Back then he struggled with 2 miles on the tread mil and now he's running outside for like 5-7 miles at time. I'm so proud of him and he's a huge inspiration to me. I recently started running and I hope to be as good as him and sign up for a couple races myself.
You're awesome Rob! (heh)
The move is almost upon us and we're heading down to NC to find an apartment. Then on the 21st, we say good-bye to New York and head to our new home in North Carolina!
