Ben told me yesterday that I needed to post, so here I am. Nothing really exciting to report to all our fans out there, but since it has been 11 days since my last post I’m sure most of you are wondering, “What exactly has Amanda been doing these past few weeks?” The answer… a whole lot of nothing.
I’m coming through the homestretch with both of my jobs and am excited about temporarily being unemployed. “Temporarily” being the keyword. I’ll be transferring to the Gap up in Rochester and was planning to work as much as they wanted me to until I found a “real” job. Last week I found out that there is in fact a Rochester branch for Northwestern Mutual, so I emailed them my resume and I have an interview on August 6th. I guess it turns out I may be doing the exact same things I do here in Charlottesville in Rochester. Not that I would mind, in fact it would be a nice transition.
So anyway, the 27th will be my last day at work at both jobs and from there it will be a marathon 3 days of packing. I’ve slowly started packing up some things that we don’t have the use for everyday like wedding pictures (I finally found the negatives to all our pictures Mom), Ben’s old text books, Ben's 25 sweaters, coats, jackets, blankets, some framed pictures and knick knacks. We’re down to our last 4 pieces of meat in the freezer for dinners, and we’re trying to use as much of our perishable food as possible. So much to Ben’s dismay, we’ll be having some vegetarian meals in the upcoming weeks.
As I’ve been at work everyday Ben’s been studying hard for the upcoming bar. He spends more than half his day at school studying, which means we only see each other for about 30 minutes to an hour a day. Needless to say I’m excited to have him around come next week. He’ll be leaving on Sunday, flying out of Baltimore on Monday, taking the test Tuesday and Wednesday, then he'll come home Wednesday night.
So that’s my update. Like I said, nothing too exciting. I have a feeling these next few weeks are going to be a little more crazy, so maybe I’ll have something fun to report after we get through it all. Just want to keep you all on your toes!

You guys have lots to look forward to by being in Rochester...like a visit from us in July of next year! :) We are having a family reunion then and are visiting Church sites/etc. Maybe we could stop by? Good luck with everything upcoming--especially the bar, Ben.
Treasure those weeks together without jobs. That was my favorite part of last year--those two months we could all just hang out together after the bar and before work. Can't wait to see you guys. How are you doing an interview the 6th with Jacob coming home the 8th? Are you not going to be here?
I'll be interviewing in the morning and we'll leave either that day or on the 7th. We wouldn't miss a Mudrick reunion for the world! We'll be there!
Amanda, You forgot to warn us about OTL in Fiesta!! Very odd.
Is there anything else you might want to mention?
Have a great rest of summer, I will miss you as my VT companion.
Sounds like the job thing worked out really well for you! How long do you think you'll be in Rochester?
XoXo
Packing, job ending, bar pending . . .sounds crazy to me. I can't find your email address! I went into crazy delete mode a month or so ago and, of course, deleted a few things I thought I didn't. Anyway, we'll see you around soon!
sweet, i can still get your Gap discount.
