As Promised: Pictures. PLUS my amazing Weekend.

First we will recap on pics, and then we will tell the amazing story of this weekend:

Here is the view from the Hancock Tower on my Bday. Its blurry in the pic, but I promise it didn't look that blurry in real life. :)

Me Driving out!
Wyoming: We drove from Everett to Wyoming day 1
Dad:
The second day, I prayed for rain because it was so hot, and we got it!!
The Kansas sunset: We drove Wyoming to Wichita Day 2. We visited friends there. Andrew and Lara are GREAT hosts. Drop in on them anytime!
Day 3 we drove from Wichita to Indiana.

Day 4 we got up and drove 40 miles, then stopped at this Monastery for Mass, then drove all the way to Durham.
We passed through Kentucky: This was the most gorgeous part of the trip:

OK. NOW: This weekend.

I was completely stressed about not being placed, and my good friend from back home asked if I was enjoying all the free time off. I realized that I wasn't... Here I am in a BEAUTIFUL state staying at home doing NOTHING but wasting my days away worrying. So I decided it would be a good idea to go to the Outer Banks.

Ali: Being another West Coaster, came out with me. We went swimming in the Atlantic for a few hours. It was GREAT. I had some good fish'n'chips too, but nothing here has been as good as Ivar's back home... :-P
The sunset was beautiful, but I figured I inundated you with enough pictures already.

This is the House in which 5 Corps Member live. Its HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. It was kinda fantastic. I had Sunday Brunch there with all the 09 CMs, and we met some town folk. They were amazingly and awesomely Southern. They were highly entertaining. I want to live there now haha.
On the way home yesterday, I saw Cotton fields.
So. I have an interview for an Elementary Music Teacher position on Thursday. Pray I get it!!!
