Thai Surprise

For all those who were curious, Chase and I finally tested out the Thai place in town (yes, there is only 1) last night and I am happy to report....it was DELICIOUS!!! Now if I could only find a local Cart guy I would be all set back here in Mississippi!

A Conversation Worth Noting...

I just got out of class this evening and decided to stop by the grocery store on my way home. I know that isn't exciting, but I did feel the conversation I just had with the cashier was worth commenting on. The following conversation really did just happen....

Cashier: "Hi, do you have a Brookshire's card?"

Me: "No, I don't. Thanks."

Cashier: "Would you like to sign up for one?"

Me: "No, thank you."

Cashier: "You sure, why not?"

Me (shocked she asked that): "I'm about to move and I don't think you have a location near me."

Cashier: "Oh yeah, where you moving?"

Me (shocked she just asked that too): "Just to Madison area."

Cashier: "Oh really, why you moving? It safer there or something?"

Me (again, WHAT! why are you still asking me questions): "No, just moved back to town and just bought a house out there."

Cashier: "Oh, where you stay at now" (the grammar is exact)

Me (clearly knowing I'm not going to tell her where I live): "Between here and Old Canton at my Dad's old house" (guess that was too much information)

Cashier: "Oh, where is your dad? He deceased?"

Me (WHAT!? SERIOUSLY!?): "Huh? WHAT? Nooo, he just got remarried and bought a house." (I mean seriously did she really ask that!?)

That was about the extent of the conversation before I decided to grab my groceries and run. Seriously though, I am still in shock! I guess I'm just used to my New York grocery cashiers that don't speak a word to you because they want you in and out as quick as possible. I just thought I would share the ridiculousness of this conversation, because I found it quite ridiculous on many levels.

Recap

I've been quite terrible at this whole blog thing the past couple of weeks, so I think I'll take this opportunity to recap on the past few weeks. Lets see, we've settled back into life in Mississippi quite well. All our NY apartment stuff arrived on time and everything appears to be in order (though half of it is still in boxes since we are moving again soon). We went to the beach for a few days back in August and enjoyed the beautiful weather and family time with the nieces. Other than that, I started school back on August 24th and have officially been a nerd since. I wake up and do school work, go to class, and do school work before falling asleep. It's quite awesome let me tell you.
Chase and I have also been looking at houses quite a bit and we have found one we fell in love with. If all goes well, it will be ours as of next Tuesday!! We are super excited at the thought of owning our first home, but at the same time petrified since it is by far more money than we've ever spent on anything, and probably will ever spend. Dept is good feeling, right? I'll update soon with pictures of our house once it is final and is officially ours (cross your fingers!!).
Other than that, we went this past weekend down to Hattiesburg for the 1st Southern Miss home football game of the season. They played Alcorn State and it felt good to be back being a part of football life again. I rode with Adrienne down on Saturday and we tailgated all day long. Overall a wonderful football filled day!

Now I'm back studying and Chase working. Chase is heading to Salt Lake City this weekend for work, and I'll more than likely be doing homework all weekend. Who is excited!?!

Oh and Chase's birthday was yesterday, so Happy Birthday Chase!!!
