A 'real' update!

Hello everyone, anyone!

So yes, we have moved to Boulder, Colorado. It was kind of all of a sudden, at least that's how it felt to me. I didn't get to say goodbye to everyone I wanted to. That was hard.

The drive over was pretty rough. The first day we stopped in Fernley, NV to see my cousin, Joy, and her family. We found out her littlest, Paul, was graduating from Kindergarten that evening so we, of course, HAD to stay. (: It was a lot of fun. Then we went out for dinner with the family to celebrate.

We took my cat, Meow-Meows (aka Kitty) and that itself was some drama. She has this big dome litterbox thing that we emptied out and put her in. We taped a t-shirt to the front so she couldn't get out. When we were doing the graduation/dinner thing, she got out! So we put the harness/leash thing on her and tied it to the passenger headrest so she was free to move about but she wouldn't be able to get under my feet. It worked out awesomely! She basically slept right next to me for the whole rest of the trip.

We drove through a big storm in Wyoming that we both thought we were going to not make it through. And then right as we were getting close to Boulder we drove through pea soup fog at 10pm at night. So very dangerous. But we pulled up to the place we are keeping our stuff around 12:30am and went straight to bed.

The next morning we unloaded both cars. The old '86 Honda we put in the garage and we went about looking for jobs. An old friend from Teen Mania asked me on Facebook a while back, where we were staying in Colorado. When I told her Boulder, she offered up her sister's place for us to keep our things in the garage. They have moved out of the house as it is going up for foreclosure. We stayed in the basement for about a week without water, showering at our friend's house. So, our stuff and where we were sleeping was in North Denver and our friend lives in Boulder which is a twenty minute or so drive. We really want to live and work in Boulder.

Eventually our friend was telling us that we should just stay with him in his large house with his three roommates. So we are, for now. Our stuff is out in North Denver and we are staying in Boulder. We've applied for jobs all over. I've registered at two temp agencies. I did hear back from Target and had an interview. I start with them on Tuesday but I'm still looking for a "real" job or something more stable and that pays more. I think the minimum wage is at $7.50 here? I start at $8.50 so that's not too bad.

So our goal is to get our own place asap so we are not mooching off of our friend for too long. And then my little brother will move out here to join us! And then my mom-in-law will bring out our dog! There are dogs everywhere here. There's so much to do here. We've gone out walking or hiking just about every day now. I have pictures but no way to easily post them. Some day soon.
