Life has been pretty busy this past week with unpacking, shopping for furniture, job hunting, and trying to get our house set up. I'm nervous about actually owning/maintaining a home. There are so many things to think about that we never worried about while renting. But it's also exciting to know we'll be here for a while and we can make improvements as we have time/money.
Brenden is doing pretty well. I think some of his fussiness has been him just asking for attention. We've been so busy...you'd think with both of us not working it would be easy, but it's like conducting an orchestra trying to get settled in while taking care of the daily things. While I was working I spent every minute I was home and Brenden was awake playing with him. I'm sure he wonders why I'm suddenly doing other things instead of paying attention to him. I think I've actually spent less quality time with him even though we're together every day. I'm going to make time tomorrow to take him out to do something fun. He loves the kids room at the library. They have a big pirate ship thing kids can climb and lots of things he can crawl around and explore.
Adam and I had our first date night last night in 4 months! It was really nice to go out to dinner and focus on each other instead of juggling Brenden's gear and entertaining him. It reminded me of the old days! But still, I was excited to see him when we picked him up from his Aunt Allison's. Luckily he had a great time with her and didn't seem to miss us much!
This past week hasn't been too promising job search-wise. My interview on Thursday was more of a preliminary thing and I don't know yet if that will lead to anything. I sent in some resumes, and I also called to follow up on some resumes I submitted. The HR manager at my last job recommended I do that. It's probably a good idea, since the places I called said they were still sorting through tons of resumes. I have a feeling this next week is going to be more promising. We'll see!
