Settling In

Ok so it has been a month since I have been in VA! Sorry we have not posted to the blog in a looong time.

I have started working and so far the job is going well. The people are nice and helpful. The job itself is good. I am doing some outpatient therapy and some psychological testing. I still do not have my office, however I am hoping I will be able to move into my office on Monday! (Fingers crossed) Michael has started school... so his busy schedule has set in.

We finished painting the bedroom and went with a grey and white theme. We like it!!
We got  new sectional couch that is gorgeous and we love sitting on it.. so does the dog... as much as we do not want them to!

The weather is starting to change..Fall is definitely here! I might need to get some warmer sweaters and jackets... I am getting anxious for winter... I am praying that I will be able to leave the house! I am hoping my car will survive too!!!

Michael and I have tried new restaurants...some we have like and some we have not. Last night we tried Longhorns... loved the corn chowder with lobster and shrimp. We went to Longhorns after we went to the opening of KOHLS...which was super busy, but we got Michael some great deals!!!

We have gone to some new places... Billys Barn.. looks like a barn on the outside.. soo cute.. we went and listened to a  live band! We went to Ole Salem Days.. saw some fun crafts, eat some good food and heard some awful music!

Football season has started here... and frankly... it is CRAZY football here. Everyone is wearing either VT or UVA gear everywhere we go! I have heard rumors that people tailgate at the high school football games... REALLY??

Michael has started to run again and working out at the gym at VT! Go MICHAEL!! I have started to work out again.. my motivator was buying my wedding dress.... WOO HOOO!!!!!!

Michael has persuaded me to join his bowling team... I have a high, very high handicap.. however Split Happens is in 3rd place! Woo Hoo!! I have my own bowling shoes and in a week will be getting my own bowling bag, thanks to Michaels mom!!

My parents have been abroad for a month and will be returning to California during this week. On some sad news, my grandmother has past away on Sept 10th so Michael and I will be heading to Michigan (go blue!) next week, to meet up with my parents, cousins, uncles and aunts to have a memorial for her!

That sums up our month of settling in!!!

Love Nicole and Michael!
