Over the weekend

Hello All!

I am a little mad at myself that I didn't get any pics of my first auction (that I worked), but it was fun and interesting. First I helped set up, well gather and move all of the items that were to be sold. I was not too sure how to organize anything, but I caught on quickly. Soon there after, the auction started and I had the opportunity to bid for someone that couldn't make the beginning of the auction. He had left a list of the items he was interested in and a set price, and I had tried to spend his money but didn't succeed. By the end of the day Saturday, I had set up the auction, bid on some items and helped in the office, mostly organizing the sales receipts and a little cashiering. I may be invited back for another opportunity so I must not have screwed up the process too bad.

On Sunday, I took a little drive around Woodstown, NJ to look at some houses. there are a couple of nice ones in the area, but they might be out of the price range. This is a barn that was on one of the properties. I kind of like it. It looks old, but I am not too sure of the age.
I am in no hurry to find a place. There is plenty of time for that. We will find a house that is just perfect. I know it.

Congratulation's Jason!!!

Congratulations is definitely an order to my handsome husband.....he got a PROMOTION!!!! He is now a Senior Designer (doesn't that sounds so official). I am quite proud of him and I am sure most of you are too!

Unfortunately, I have not had too much to post about. Jason took the camera with him to NJ. And although he had been doing the "fun" things, like an Eagles game, he has not posted. This has not been an easy transition for us but we do get to see each other in 8 (yes I have a countdown) days.

We have not sold the house yet, but according to my horoscope (at this point, logic is out the window!) we are not meant to make any large financial decisions until October. Thank God it is just around the corner.

Better Late Than Never

So, I finally got around to getting my pix off of the camera and a few minutes to talk about my trip to New Jersey. Overall the traffic was good, even on Labor day! A little bit of rain in Ohio, and a whole lot of cops. PA is still a big A** state.
Here are a couple of pictures from the drive out. So enjoy your trip through my eyes!

P.S. Don't complain about the quality of the pics. I was sort of busy..... Driving!

1st Day of Work

So today is Jason's first day at his new office. He hasn't called me yet but I have had 3 emails so far.....Apparently, he is going to be in meetings all afternoon and they were told they would be there until the problem is "fixed." I guess they are going to put him to work from the get go. I am sure he will shine.

I joked with him last night that "if" I were there, I would take a picture of him on his 1st day at work. Just like your mom did when you were little and going to school the first time. Well Jason did it for me! Isn't it great! It sure put a smile on my face!

A Sad Day

So today I watched my husband drive away from our first home to my mother's house. Ironic how the world works right???? It is a is a sad day at the Rubino household. But Joplyn, Jersey, Eos and I are trying to keep ourselves busy. I have a long list of things that I want to accomplish before Jason comes back for a visit.

• Sell the house
• Teach Jersey a new trick
• Teach Joplyn anything
• Eat HealthierLose 10lbs (ok so that might be a little ridiculous but you have to set your goals high)
• Walk everyday

Wish me luck!

Although Jason left this morning, we were able to spend some quality time with those near and dear to us before he left. On Saturday evening, Gail and Scott graciously threw us a going away party. Thanks Gail and Scott!!! Then on Sunday was the Labor Day picnic, so we were able to see the other side of the family and say our "goodbyes."
