Found out about 3 weeks ago that Joey is being transferred to Salzburg, Austria for work for the next 18 months. Luckily for us, they are super awesome and are letting me join the adventure. He is moving over May 31st and I'll be flying over with him to look for apartments then coming home June 11th till the end of the month so I don't have to live in a hotel. It's pretty much an opportunity of a lifetime and we couldn't be more excited to get to live in Europe. His company also will be paying for trips home every 6 months which is awesome because I will probably stay for at least a month on each return trip. I'll be a stay at home girlfriend, weekend trip planner, and german lesson extraordinaire while we are over there. I also plan to take some online classes here so I am at least doing something with my life. If anyone has any ideas of fun hobbies, they would be greatly appreciated. I plan to train for a marathon while I'm there since I won't have to get up extra early to run and I think it would be fun to run through the city. We will see how long this lasts, I might change it to "training for a 5K".
Last Friday was my last day at Sears Pool. The job had gotten pretty stressful and with the big move coming up, it just wasn't fair to Joey or myself to be so stressed at work that I couldn't do anything at home. It was hard to quit, but I am so much happier now that I have time to really relax and enjoy life. I've worked at Sears since I was 15 so it is kind of crazy to be done there. I have picked up some hours at Anthro for the rest of the month so I'll be there quite a bit to try to get some money saved since I wont be working for awhile.
In other exciting news, I'm engaged!! Joey proposed Saturday night after a perfect dinner at the Sundial overlooking the city. He had told me earlier in the week that we were going to dinner Saturday to celebrate our 3 year anniversary but he wouldn't tell me where because he knows just how much I HATE surprises and not knowing things. So we spent the afternoon at the zoo as my part of the anniversary celebration and then headed down to the surprise dinner. We pulled up in front of the Westin and I finally figured out where we were going. The dinner was great and the view was amazing. It was defiantly something really cool to do since we are leaving Atlanta for a bit. We finished dinner and went to the upper area to take pictures of the city. We were looking around and all of a sudden I turn to look at him and he was getting down on one knee! Our favorite views of the city were behind us and it was perfect. No one was around since it was about 10:30 but we found someone walking past to get a quick picture before we left the restaurant to call everyone.
