Weddings and Hills and Beds, OH MY!

Still no word from Digital Express about an interview, but I refuse to think that means they didn't choose me. If I don't hear anything by Wednesday I am going to give them a call.

Now, as far as wedding stuff goes, I've got my flower girl's dress arriving any day now, and over 300 silk roses coming in a week or so. Chris and I also need to go to his aunt's house to rummage through her leftover wedding supplies from when her daughter got married last year. I'm not sure all what we will take, but it's great that we have some free options, seeing as this wedding is taking a serious toll on our finances, especially with me still being unemployed.

Anyhow...on to something happier now shall we?
Chris and I went on a little adventure the other day to a place called Magnet Hill, just outside of Springer Oklahoma.
Basically, you stop your car at the bottom of a hill and put it in neutral. Take your foot off the brake and you roll backwards up the hill! Now...I was skeptical to start, but we found the spot and sure enough we went up the hill reaching 12MPH!
Watch and see for yourself:

We were stopped at the bottom of this hill and rolled all the way up: 

It was kinda nuts.

Chris' mom had visited the hill already and has her own theory on how it works...I think mine differs a little bit, and Chris has his own theory as well.

I won't spoil the fun though...if you can visit this hill, you definitely should!

After that, we went to Chris' brother's house with snow cones for all.

Let me tell you...after moving to Oklahoma I have become a bit of a snow cone addict thanks to Chris. I've tried at least 11 different flavors in the past few weeks, plus a few doubles.
Thanks a lot Chris!

Anyhow, back to what I was getting at...I got a real bed!

I've been sleeping on a big air mattress since I got here, but Jessie and Sam had a spare bed that they let me borrow until Chris and I move out and get our queen sized bed from Chelsea and Kalen.

It feels more like I live here now since I have a real bed with my blankets and pillows on it!

In fact, I'm sitting on it now to type out my blog!

Things are going pretty well though overall.

Chris and I are probably going to end up living in Norman for at least the first year of our marriage...or I guess until he gets a job somewhere else.

I like Norman though...it reminds me more of home where everything is in a close driving distance.

It's nice and quiet in the country, but I hate how far away I am from everything. The closest WalMart is half an hour away! I'm used to driving like 5 minutes to a WalMart...so it has taken some getting used to living out here, but I'll be alright.

So that's how things are going.

As soon as I find anything out about that job with Digital Express I'll be sure to post about it!
