Tomorrow is my first day back at the office...not as an intern, but as a paid employee! Holy cow! I can't believe someone is going to pay me to do this job!
Wish me luck!
I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Entertaining
Last weekend I had house guests! My mother, her boyfriend, and my grandparents all came to stay at Casa de Polheber. I've never had to entertain guests before and I have to say I was a little nervous about having 4 extra people in our house. Turns out I had nothing to worry about! We all fit just fine.
We did a lot in just 3 short days. There is a dinner movie theater in Woodridge and we all went and saw Julie and Julia. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, very entertaining and funny. My grandmother helped us do a little decorating and we got new curtains for our family room. Greg actually picked the fabric and I think it looks great!
Finally, on Sunday we went to the most amazing brunch at Meson Sabika. This is a tappas restaurant in Naperville, where they serve small plates of food so you get to taste a lot of different things. It is an awesome experience because you can take your time eating and then waiting for the next plate to come. I made reservations for brunch a week in advance because this restaurant is busy busy busy. The food is probably some of the best I've ever had. Brunch is my all time favorite meal. There is something about sleeping in, having a late meal, and drinking mimosas that puts a big smile on my face!
I'm so glad my family came to visit, we had a great time! Bring on the house guests :)

Frustrated
I'm not good at waiting. My new license number has still not arrived and I am starting to get a little frustrated. Each day at 1:00pm I check the mail hopeful that today will be the day. Seeing the mail truck pull up on our street is the highlight of my day. But my excitement quickly turns to disappointment when the mailbox is full of junk ads or mislabeled mail or sometimes no mail at all, that is the worst.
I'm starting to run out of projects. The house is mostly in order, I had house guests over the weekend so everything is already clean and neat. There really isn't much to do. I feel like I need to join a club or find a new hobby. I've never had this much down time ever before. I've never not been in school or working before!
Greg has been so supportive through all of this. He has been the sole provider and never complained about it once. I know he is ready to have me working so I can share some of our financial responsibilities, like the mortgage! Life will be less stressful once we are a two person income. I can't wait.
But, since I have no choice in the matter, I will continue to play the waiting game while stalking the mail man until my letter comes and the next chapter can begin.
