1. Not having a job is getting REALLY old. I have been to 7 interviews since we've been in Maryland. 2 of which are temp agencies, 1 has rejected me in a letter, and 1 told me I was "runner-up" and that they would call me if the other person didn't accept the position. You'd have to be an IDIOT to not accept a position anywhere right now. But like I always do I kept hope in the back of my mind that that person was in fact an idiot. I finally had to break-up with that interview and move on and realize they didn't want me so they're stupid. On the lighter side I am waiting to hear from the last two. 1 of which wants me to come in on monday for a paid half-day to see how I do. I'll show you how I do, I WORK and you PAY. Deal?
2. School is easy thus far. Ben is doing great in all his classes. He is teacher's pet and takes notes for a disabled kid. How much more Samaritan can you get? But seriously he is doing really well. He plans on taking summer school to speed this whole thing up and get into the Radiography program more quickly. I am kind of jealous that he gets to be in school and sometimes I ask him if I can do his Math homework too so we can check answers - then he looks at me and tilts his head with a slanty-frown.
3. Washington D.C. is cool and surreal. We went there this past weekend and it was crazy to think we were actually there. Like where all the movies are filmed or whenever they say 'headquarters' - we were there! Ben and I really loved the war memorials - they were humbling and moving. Here are some of our favorite moments...
4. We are happy for other people and their exciting news! Please refer to Nate and Lori's blog!!!! HOORAY AND YAY! Also, Colton has some awesome pictures of the Baltimore Aquarium that we saw on Friday night. Please see number 5.5. I am claustrophobic. We were at aforementioned Aquarium and I don't know if was the muggy-ness and all the fishy smells but I seriously on the verge of a panic attack. Don't get me wrong it was really cool to see the sharks and all the stuff that I never want to see next to me in the water but I thought I was going to freak out! There were tons of people and if I got up close to look at an exhibit or an aquarium and then attempted to turn around and leave I was doomed! Then there were the revolving doors that I thought I would get stuck in. Poor Ben thought I was going to give up and feed myself to the stingrays. I apologize to Nate, Lori and Colton if they thought I wasn't having a good time. I totally was I just wanted to kill myself, thats all.
6. We are SOOO excited for Nate and Lori. We were totally dooped and had NO idea. How sad that we lived here and had no idea? Lori was a champ!

What is up with the claustrophobic issues? I am going to put you in that aquarium with those windmills in California. That would be fun to watch.
I'm sorry that nobody can find your new blog post. I tried really hard. Thats what she said.
Thanks for the shout out btw. We're pretty stoked.
Who designed your blog and took all of the cute pics in DC?
Man, I wish that the All About the Benjamins were at the top.
SO how did your job interview that is tomorrow even though today is Monday night go?
Do you think that I can keep this up for 40 comments so that you can set a record?
Can you believe that we will have a new nephew in 2 days?
Ok, I have to go to the bathroom for the 40th time today. More comments later.
How fun that you guys are getting out and about. Some day I'll make it to DC. Hang in there with the job search, something is bound to work out.
Hang in there girlie! When we first moved to Maryland I was enrolled at Towson. I dropped out last minute and suddenly had 1 week to find a job in order to make rent. I applied as a shampoo girl at DK Salon and worked there for a month until I heard back from a previous interview in a dental office. Job hunting can be STRESSFUL but no matter what you job entails the important thing is that it comes with a paycheck.
Lol, Stace
PS and thanks for celebrating with us!
Thanks Lori for upping my comments, now I have some blog-confidence.
Just wait until the spring, the dogwoods in DC are amazing.
Congrats on the new job caitlin! You are amazing....I had no doubts. Now ...the really important issue. ....who updated your blog with cuteness? Way cute and I think it must have been Lori. Thanks Lori, for the makeover (and congrats)

I know this probably won't be any consolation to you, but I wasn't paying the least bit of attention to your claustrophobia at the aquarium. I was too enthralled.
That was such a fun week, we should do it every week.
That's what she said.
Congrats on the job! I hope it turns out to be a great one. I'm glad Ben is doing well in school. Awesome! If you think your claustrophobic in an aquarium I wouldn't recommend having an epidural when you have a baby. That leaves the craziest claustrophobic feeling.
