Spring Time and Fun Times in Pittsburgh

Zac and I have had an amazing week this week. I started my job and I am so optimistic about my future there at AE.
Thursday night we went to a KT Tunstall solo show in a convert music hall that was formally a church, you can imange the acoustics there were amazing. Her solo show consisted of her, her guitar or piano, and a loop machine. I am a huge fan of KT's music and she is so fun and witty everytime I see her in concert. You should remember her from her hit in 2006ish with Black Horse and Cherry Tree, but since then she has mainly stayed on the independent music scene. Here is a clip of that song from the show.

Saturday was a rainy spring day, so we ventured out to the suburbs to price shop IKEA furniture and to find some home decoration inspiration. We were able to leave with only purchasing a coke. However I was very temped to buy a small lamp and a plan for my work desk. That evening the weather cleared up, so we walked to neighborhood Mexican restaurant for some "happy food and margaritas."
Sunday we took a bike tour of the city between our new home and our new work. Spring is definitely blowing in, and I literally mean "blowing in." It was quite a windy day! But the sun was out and everything is starting to bloom. It am so exciting and I can't wait to move in and settle in here!

Over my shoulder is the AE Corporate office, notice the huge metal eagle on the side of the building.

The Weekend is Over

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. I did, in-fact I have had a nice long weekend. A 44 day weekend to be exact. But that is coming to a close because tomorrow I start my new job. (More on that later!)

But I would rather reminisce on the fun I had this past weekend. Here are some shots from mine and Zac's day at the Pittsburgh Pirates ball game.

A hot day calls for a cool treat. :)

I hope everyone has a great week!

New City, New Home

We are not even a quarter of the way into 2011 and already Zac and I have enough changes to last us a few years. So to summarize in 40 words or less: Zac has a new job with American Eagle, which is in Pittsburgh. He has been there since the end of January and I have been in Nashville finishing up at TSC and preparing the house for the rental market.
Which brings me to where we are this week. We bought a new house! Well actually we are under contract for a new house. We decided to live in the city because we wanted the urban experience where you can walk to the store ride your bike to work. (Well, maybe, we will see. I will 1st have to figure out not to have helment hair at the office.)
Now that we have this place we want visitors! We now have space for guest and want our family and friends to come spend some time with in our new city.

Here are a few pictures of our new place.
