Adventures in Charlotte...

Jared was off on Wednesday so we decided to go to downtown Charlotte and see what we could find. We had a great time! We went to some shops, saw a lot of interesting statues and water fountains, visited the Chamber of Commerce (where we got a ton of brochures on stuff to do around the area!), went to the Bobcats Arena (boring for me...not so boring for Jared), and basically just had a blast together! I have attached a few pictures of our adventure. These were taken with my cell phone because I forgot my camera...again!


This is the view from Jared's work parking lot.


Interesting pieces of art...notice that some of the bricks are maroon and orange. Finding those bricks was like finding a little piece of Hokie heaven! :)


We took this picture because there was some strange man walking behind us and we wanted to get away from him. Don't worry, moms...we are being safe! :)

When we left downtown we went back to Mt. Holly and started taking random roads to see what we could find. And we found this...

The only mountain (though most would consider it a hill) that we have seen since we moved here! Thanks to an error with our GPS device, not only did we see the mountain, we ended up going up most of it. :)

The exciting news of the week...we found a broadway show to go to here in May! I can't wait! Jared's excited because we are going to a Bobcats game in April (most likely). We also have plans to tour museums, a couple historical sites, and take a dinner cruise on Lake Norman in the next couple (or few) months. :)

We are loving the weather here! It's been beautiful for the most part. We are also loving spending more time together. After dinner last night we went on a walk around our complex. It was so nice just laughing and enjoying each other's company. I love that man! :)

Jared is working really hard in his new position and is enjoying it. I am still going on interviews and am praying to have a job soon. I am a bit discouraged because I thought I would have a job by now. The interviews I had this week went wonderful. One has to do a background check before moving forward (which will hopefully be back by Monday) and another company is not making a decision until April 1st. If I have to wait until April 1st to get a job, I may as well check myself into the insane asylum now! I cannot stand to be by myself all day. Even though I'm a bit down about the job thing, I still thank God every day for moving us here. I know He knows what He's doing. :)

Everyone enjoy your weekend! :)
