When I got hired last week at Reagan they told me I would need to get my bus driver's license since I will be the Varsity assistant and our head coach isn't allowed to drive (due to some health issues, not his driving). So we loaded up Sunday night (after a couple of GREAT days at the beach with Ja and his Wave Action Pro - Hard Slick!) and headed to Winston.
Monday morning Ja had football workouts from 8-12 and I had this bus driving class from 8-4, conveniently both at North Forsyth, where Ja will be next year. So Monday and Tuesday we got up early and headed to North and I took my class while he coached his tail off in the 90 degree heat. After we both got finished we would spend time exploring our new part of town!
We found a brand new Wal-mart, Sam's, Staples, and a ton of other stuff that has been built in the past couple of years. It was like finding a whole new city. We are going to be in a GREAT location and I can't wait to officially be up here!
Tuesday night was spent studying for my 4 written tests that I had to pass to even get my permit to be able to practice driving. So this morning we got up and headed to North. I took my tests and passed all of them! Now I can get my permit and legally practice driving them big suckers around. Hey, if I can drive a 26' Uhaul through downtown Winston Salem without passing a test, I think I can handle this mamby-jamby.
After Ja got finished with football and I had passed my tests, we grabbed some lunch and went to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Now I grew up around Transformers since I had two brothers and I played with the action figures, but I never knew names or stories. Jason, on the other hand, LOVED Transformers and watched every cartoon and knows all of the names and stories and sides. He REALLY grew up immersed in Transformers so this was a big day for him. We saw the first one together (one of the 3 times he saw it in theaters) and this one definitely lived up to the hype. Plus, Ja had Megan Fox to look at, and I had Josh Duha
mel. Not sure who that is? Take a gander at this goodness:
And...you're welcome.
And for you men-folk out there, or you lady-folk that are awesome and very good to your men, this is a shot at what Megan looks like in the opening of the movie:
That may not beat the 'purple dress' I've heard about that Megan wore to a premier, but I'm pretty sure no one will complain about that. I will admit - she is hot.
So needless to say, a good time was had by all!
Getting back to our house, if y'all can make it past all of the hotness up there! We got an email today that said we just needed to lock in our interest rate (that has gone up 0.5% in the past month...dammit) and set our closing date! We are going to be closing July 9th! We cannot wait to get in that house and make it ours. We've got a lot of years to look forward to in that house. We're going to have kids in that house (not any time soon, so hush), enjoy friends and family, have great parties, and just do a lot of living with that place to go home to! I also can't wait to be up in Winston again. I just love this town. I can't wait to be with all of my friends up here and be able to enjoy all of the things this town has to offer. I love the vibe I get when I'm here. Wilmington will always be home home, but Winston will be home to Ja and I soon.
