My parents called yesterday to let me know that they've booked a cruise for this weekend, which leaves out of South Carolina and among other stops, stops in Port Canaveral on Monday. They seem pretty excited to be able to spend the day with me since they get in at like 9am and don't have to be back until 10pm so we get a whole day together and Monday also happens to be Hanukkah so we get to celebrate the first night together. I'm excited to see them, although I've been tasked with trying to figure out what to do. There is nothing to do in Port Canaveral outside of the space center (which my mother has no desire to see) so that leaves Cocoa Beach or driving back to Orlando.

As promised, here are the photos from our cruise

Song of the Day: Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds

So the job interview went well yeserday and I feel like I really aced it, so to speak. I really feel good about how it went and think it would be a good fit so I'm hopeful. I'm supposed to call back on Monday morning so we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime I have a phone interview with Disney (surprising, right?). All these interviews make me feel better about the prospects of having a job sooner rather than later.

As the title of todays blog entry indicates, we're in Georgia visiting Marissa's parents and hanging out over here. No major plans here, just relaxing and such. Marissa loves spending time with her family and dogs and I enjoy the time spent away on a pseudo-vacation. Plus their house is so nice that it does have a sort of vacation feel to it. The ride up here was easy enough so we'll have a few days "away from it all".

Song of the Day: Jimmy Buffett - Dukes on Sunday

Today marks the beginning of the wedding week I think. Both of our parents are coming into town along with some other family members and as we move forward beyond today, we'll dive deeper and deeper into our wedding plans. I'm still very excited, although we have a lot of little things to tend to. Nothing is a major show stopping problem; rather, we simply need to address a few minor issues and I know it can be daunting to deal with but it will be good to have some help here. Plus, it's going to be nice to have some family around in general.

After work today I have to run my own set of errands that are somehow related to the wedding in one way or another. Nothing overly exciting, but I do need to finish up things that I did not get done for one reason or another yesterday. What bothers me more was I didn't go to the gym yesterday and I fear I won't be able to go to the gym until the cruise, and that's assuming I actually find the motivation to go work out on the cruise. I fear I will return home after our honeymoon much fatter and out of shape than I am now.

I swear I did not make this but I sure do want one!
