Easter Weekend

Scott had Good Friday off so we decided to take advantage of the great weather.  First we went to breakfast at Chris's pancake house and stopped to get cookies for Easter lunch at Missouri Bakery.  And on our way to the park we stopped to check in with Zia Julie.  This was Scott's first visit with Zia.  She seems to be doing well after her short hospital visit.

After a quick change of clothes we were off to Castlewood Park in West county.  We hiked up to the top of the bluff and overlooked the Meremac River.  It was a great view.  We managed to hike for a couple hours.

Friday night we tried a Greek restaurant in Clayton that we will definitely go back to and caught Hot Tub Time Machine.  Truly a funny 80s movie.

On Saturday, Scott did a little shopping to update his wardrobe at Old Navy.  And then we headed down to his parents house so that he could help his mom with some work.  Scott's dad and I watch basketball while they worked.

On Easter, we went to Scott's parent's house for a late lunch.  Scott's sister made a few dishes that were great!  After an afternoon walk we relaxed and watched movies.  All in all it was a great weekend.  The weather was perfect too.  Can't wait for this weekend.  It's finally the 1/2 marathon!

Week 3

It's been a couple weeks since I've been laid off and honestly I'm still enjoying my mini vacation.  I obviously really needed a break.  I'm sure it will hit me soon that I am short on funds but right now I'm ok with staying home during the day and not going out much.  I have picked up the pace on sending out resumes and trying to make contacts.

Today I was lucky to make a contact courtesy of my dad.  He has a college friend that has business contacts in St. Louis and he is going to pass my resume along to them.  It is still a waiting game to see if I am qualified for any open positions with their company's.  I, also, applied for a few government jobs and a marketing job that I found.  Maybe this week I get a call back.
