Or is it Golden? I can't decide. The apartment complex that we live in here in Lakewood, is a really beautiful place, set right on Seeley Lake. We have a really nice first floor, 2-bedroom apartment with a little patio, and an extra storage room. I love our apartment, especially since we finally have it all set up with all of our furniture, although I would dearly love to get a few things hung on the walls...but I can wait for that. The only thing I do not love is all the noise here. We can hear everything that goes on in the apartments that surround us, so it is never really "silent"around here. I find myself listening to my iPod a lot lately, or just my playlist from my computer. I miss silence, and it is quite an adjustment for me not to have any.
As some of you know, I had a job interview yesterday, well...it must of have gone well, because I have a second interview with the same company on Tuesday next week! I am really excited about this position and feel that I am qualified for the job. It is the first time that this company will have a dedicated marketing department, and I would be running the show, actually I would be a one-woman show, but it would be a lot of fun, if nothing else. Keep your fingers crossed!
This weekend, Spc D and I are planning on heading down to Washington's state capitol, Olympia, to have a look around and to see what there is to see, but I'll tell you, I am really looking forward to next weekend, when my parents are coming up for a visit. I miss them. Actually I miss everything in California. I'm getting used to Washington, I just can't get used to the cold. Knowing my luck, by the time I adjust to the cold, the army will station us somewhere tropical!

Job Interview
Well...today is the big day...I have my first job interview since moving to Lakewood. I must have applied for 30+ jobs and I only heard back from 2. Apparently this is a really hard time of the year to find work unless you want to be a seasonal worker in a store, which I don't. My day started at 4:45am when I had to get up with Spc D to take him to work, well, really to PT. He is supposedly having a PT test today, I'm sure he will pass and do well, I just hope he is able to improve his score, because that will only mean more promotion points and he is less than 50 away from his SGT. I came back home from dropping him off and spent an hour laying in darkness on the couch pretending to be asleep before I finally decided to get up and start my day.
I am going to wear my black suit with my purple button up blouse and my black pumps. Spc D helped me pick out my outfit and said that I need to wear my hair curly because it makes me look more put together, I think it is because I am having lunch with him after my interview and that is how he likes me to wear my hair. Now I just have about an hour to kill before I leave for Tacoma for the first interview, I only hope there are more to follow.
In preparation for the interview, Spc D and I had a very relaxing weekend. On Friday night we saw Beowulf at the Lakewood Theatre. Spc D loved it, I actually ended up having nightmares about the creature that he kills in the beginning of the movie, but at least Spc D had a good night. On Saturday we got SPUUNY serviced, she is now good for another 30,000 miles. Spc D also worked on his correspondence courses and I read my new book, Clive Custler's "Atlantis Found". I really do love Custler's books, I can get lost in them for hours. Sunday we went grocery shopping for Thanksgiving, the first time I have been away from my family and also the first time I have to do all the cooking...I think I am going to enlist Spc D to help me on Thursday. We invited over a friend of Aaron's and his wife to join us on Turkey Day, but we don't know if they will be able to join us, I hope so, it would be nice to share a meal with friends.
The best part about Turkey day is that Spc D has a 4-day weekend, so I think that we are going to drive to Mount Rainier and have a look around. It should be fun.
Well, I better get myself some breakfast and start getting ready for my interview. Wish me luck!
