Natalie & Christopher in Germany

Hey there!

We are Natalie and Christopher. We blog about life in the suburbs of Orlando, FL with no kids and one dog. Thanks for checking in.

Happy July

This week has been crazy. I am house sitting for the family I babysit for and for my parents. Not to mention I have my own dog to care for. To make things even more interesting, two of the four dogs are on medicine and I don't really live anywhere near any of these houses. In 3 days I have driven a little over 250 miles. It's intense. Tonight my brother comes home so that will be one less dog to watch.

Yesterday was my mother-in-law's birthday. So we went to my sister-in-law's house for dinner. I was asked to bring green beans and cheesecake. Green beans are no big deal I make them for family dinners all the time, but I had never made a cheesecake before. Attempt one was... sad. Attempt two however was delicious.

We were at my sister-in-laws for 5 hours. I cried the whole way home.

On top of all of that I want to see eclipse and I had plans with some people to see it Tomorrow, so I told Chris he didn't have to see it with me, then the people I was planning on seeing it with went without me last night. So that is awesome. I feel like I might as well not have friends sometimes and I have a feeling after this fall it will just be worse. All of my married friends are having babies between October and January. And then that just leaves me with two friends that won't have babies to worry about and they are both going to school and working which means I never get to see them. So I do everything with the husband. I love him and I am so grateful that he does everything with me but I don't think he wants to go shopping for make up or costume jewelry or see every sappy girl movie ever made.

I'm still applying for other jobs and I've been going to my current job less and less. We are so slow that there hasn't been anything for me to do. So last week I only worked Monday and then babysat Tue-Thurs and this week I worked Monday and I've been house sitting and I was told tomorrow was optional at work. So I probably won't go because I know the company can't afford to pay me. I applied for a job at a church near my house. I would love that job. It's working in the office for the children's Ministry. I would love that job. So fingers crossed please.

When will it be my turn?

What the Funk....
