The day the internet died

So after the last post our internet decided to fail for a while. It is finally back up (what Leah did to fix it I will never know) so I can post. Anyway, we went out with a couple of my co-workers and their girlfriends on Saturday night. It was pretty fun. We met up at the brewery for a couple free beers and then headed downtown. Down there we went to a Creole restaurant and had some jambalaya and *gasp* alligator. One of the guys from the brewery had ordered these "gator bites" and they tasted a lot like orange chicken. They were pretty delicious. We then went to a bar for quite a long time until it got a little too "bro-y" then we took off. We got home at about 1am and found out that 1am was the one time of the day when the weather was actually pleasant (we had a 3-day heatwave where we had 100 degree days with 50% humidity. It was gross). Another lesson learned was that to get Leah to move mattresses, you just have to feed her gin and tonics. Unloading was a success!!

Other than that, today was my first day at the brewery and it was pretty low-key and I enjoy the people I work with. Despite it being a 10 hour day, it was still pretty good. We are still unpacking and settling in and trying to find the things we are missing from our apartment.

To end on a positive note, the bugs are still large, we are getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, and we can't cook without setting off the fire alarm.
