T - 1 day

In case you're wondering...it's T's birthday tomorrow!!! Woo Hoo, my baby is gonna be 34. Happy Birthday T! (Covering my bases in case I am not online tomorrow)

So we've been back to US for almost 2 weeks now. Since then I've created my profile on Monster, uploaded my resume to countless job sites and applied to one job. No news yet.I still have little over a month of school left and then who knows where we will be. I'll keep you posted.

Finland was a lot of fun and I'm so happy I was able to introduce T to my family and friends and show her around and her actually really liking it. It's little different coming from the craziness that is New York to the quietness of Finland. But we had a blast and T was able to buy her share of Finnish products and stimulate the Finnish economy. She has a keen eye for all things Finnish now...She'll spot Marimekko, Iittala, Golla and Muumi anywhere! It's almost like she has a Finndar!

This past weekend was crazy...On Saturday we saw practically every family member in the tri-state area and didn't come home till after 10pm. Felt like a circus monkey. We saw her mom, her dad and his family, her brothers and their wives and obviously Carly who took her first 2 steps while I was in the bathroom! Bad timing on my part! On Monday T's mom calls her to tell her that Carly is now really walking and so she had to call Billy. We might see them all this Saturday for T's birthday so we will see for ourselves how well she's doing. We also saw T's Aunt Jane who got out of the hospital few days before after having a mini stroke. Her husband has Alzheimer's so she has a lot on her plate and it finally caught up with her. She did not look her usual bubbly self at all! It's a bad situation that's not getting any better.

In the midst of all of this we had a few minutes to stop by at the Woodbury commons to check out a suit for me and we found one! It's a black pin-stripe suit and I look really good in it (if I say so myself)! The pants could use a little hemming...or a LOT! I'm not the tallest of them all... On Sunday we went to Macy's and I got another suit, a gray one. I need few suits in case I get a second interview with a company...Anyway, now I need to find shoes to go with them and get them shortened and then I'm good to go!

Anyway...that's about it. Tomorrow will be spent on celebrating T's big day, lunch and a movie with her best friend CJ and for dinner I'm making the salmon my mom made while we were in Finland. It now is one of T's fave dishes.

Love you babe! Happy Birthday!
