Summer time, and the living's easy

Hello one and all! I can't believe it's already June! That means we've been in Vegas exactly 6 months. It hasn't felt like that long at all though, time really has flown. Todd and I are still loving it here... except maybe the heat. It's already way too hot for me at times, and I know this isn't even close to the worst of it. I still prefer this to the bitter cold of Idaho, so I just have to remind myself of that any time I'm sweating bullets in this heat. 

So last post I mentioned that I might take over for a math teacher who quit. Well, all went according to plan, and I was able to start teaching my own class. It was SUCH a challenge because the kids that I had, had not had any discipline or structure all semester. Since it was a Blended Learning class, they all learned on the computers, and there weren't any formal lessons by me. I found this picture to describe my experience.

Notice how the teacher is attempting to help one student, and the rest of the class gets off task. That was basically my struggle. I tried to help as many students as I could, but it was impossible to keep them focused and working if I was doing that. Though, it really felt more like this:

Anyway, I really can't complain too much. Not only did I get paid, but I got to finish my student teaching early to get paid. The extra income was SUCH a blessing. And while so many of those kids made me want to rip my hair out, they really were sweet kids. They just needed structure, and someone who showed them that they cared. My patience was undoubtedly tested, but it was definitely a learning experience for me. Not only for teaching, but also parenting. 

So now that school is out, I'm just working at a little tutoring company a few miles away. It's only part time, but at least it's something for the summer. I've been looking for something else, but I can't find much that I could do for just a few months. Starting next school year, I will be working at this tutoring company, and tutoring for the high school I was working at. They started hiring "certified tutors" to be there during school hours, and paying them $22/hr. That's like almost equivalent to what I could be making as a teacher, and much more enjoyable. I could have taken a teaching position there, I declined the offer for a few reasons. The biggest reason is that Todd and I may not be in Vegas for a whole school-year. I also just don't feel like it's worth all of the work and the stress if I'm only going to do it for one year, and then potentially have to start all over again once we move. Besides, I have a great alternative of tutoring both at the high school, and with that other company. We feel pretty good about it. 

So that's all that's new for me. Todd is still working at the Plasma center. He doesn't enjoy it all that much, but is happy that it's giving him the experience he needs for grad school. Speaking of grad school, he is hopefully going to apply to five schools this week! We probably won't start hearing from them until the Fall, but it's exciting that our end will be done! Then we just have to keep our fingers crossed that he'll get interviews, and get in somewhere! 

So back when we live in rexburg, Todd and I used to go on little Sunday drives. We realized that we hadn't done it in a super long time, so last Sunday, we went on a little drive to see the Hoover Dam. It was cool to see and think about the history behind it.

Thursday was my last day at the school, and I got home a little early. To celebrate, and to get out a bit, we decided to check out Mount Charleston. We went on a little (tiny) hike, climbed around in some caves, and enjoyed the scenery. It was nice to finally see some forested areas after so long of being in the desert.

So those are the most recent updates. On top of that, and in no particular order, here are some other things we've been up to since our last post :).

One of my students won free motocross tickets, but couldn't go because of prom. She gave them to me, so Todd and I got to watch this awesome event for FREE. It was awesome, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.

Todd and I got to go camping and go to Utah during Spring Break. It was so nice to camp/fish again (even though it was only one night), and it was so great to see family for a bit. Also while we were there, Summer took some 2-year anniversary pics for us. They turned out so great, and I can't wait to get a bunch of them framed for our house :)

These are the pics Summy took! Aren't they amazing??

We also got to help with the little Easter Egg hunt with the kiddos. So much fun!

On a completely different note...

Do you remember about a year ago, I posted on here about our new chairs for our dining table that we got for $25? I was looking at that post just now, and I saw that I wrote this: "One of them is a little rickety... It feels like it might snap in half, but as long as you don't lean back it that one, it's good." 

Well, as luck would have it, it turns out I wasn't exaggerating all that much. The other night, I was sitting in one of those chairs, leaned back just a little (putting the weight on the back legs... doing exactly what I said we shouldn't do) and SNAP! One of the legs literally snapped in half! So now I guess we're in the market for a new chair or set of chairs. :(

So that's about everything! We miss and love you all, and can't wait till we're all near each other again.

The Eighth Move!

So in our short two years (almost) of marriage, Todd and I figured out that we've moved 8 times! A huge reason why we've moved that many times is because we would always go to Utah in between new places. We still count it since we still had to load up all of our things that many times. First was Alaska, Utah for a few weeks, Idaho for school, back to Utah for a month or so, Oklahoma for Todd's internship, Utah for some down-time and Christmas, then finally Las Vegas.

BUT, since we took over our friend's contract that expired in March, we had to move YET AGAIN just recently. So that was move number eight! We found an apartment that was right across the street from our first vegas apartment, so it worked out that we would get to stay in the same ward. That was really nice, and besides that, we just really like our location right now, so we were happy we got to stay.

I'll try to be very brief with other updates, but life is going well for us out here. Todd got a job working as a paramedic/medical supervisor at a plasma center. It's not nearly as exciting as working on an ambulance, but the pay is decent, and he likes it enough to survive a year there :).

Student teaching has been a really great experience for me! I have some of the coolest kids, and I love them all so much! I'm going to miss them like crazy! We even started a little ultimate frisbee team... well, it's not really a team, they just like to go out and play (don't care much for the rules). I also have an incredible mentor teacher. I don't know what I would do without her. So student teaching is supposed to end May 16th, but the school had a math teacher quit recently, so they want me to fill that position. There's a whole bunch of logistical stuff I need to do, but basically (if all goes according to plan), starting right after spring break, I should be getting paid for
the rest of the school year! I'm really sad to be leaving my classes that I have now (and scared of my future kiddos), but I am stoked that I will be working and making money!

Anyway, those are the most important updates ;). Here are some pics of our new apartment!

The Living Room! Look how perfectly that TV fit, haha!

A look from the living room to the kitchen

This is the living/dining area :)

I went a little crazy at Ross the other day to deck out our bathroom. I love it!

Our little spare bedroom with a door to the porch.

A look out at our view from our porch! Not much, but we like it :)

So that's pretty much it! We're happy to finally be settled in a place long term (well... at least a year seems long term to us). We're also loving Vegas and loving our happy lives together! We're coming up on our second anniversary and I can't believe that 2 years have already gone by. Time has just flown unbelievably fast! I couldn't be happier, and I feel so grateful I get to spend every day with such an incredible man! We look forward to our lives here and Vegas and whatever our future holds after that!

Blessings!

Wow, can I just say, we have learned a WHOLE lot over the past couple of weeks. For me, I've definitely learned that the Lord works in mysterious ways. He has a plan for us, we just need to remain faithful and trust that it will all work out, as long as we are doing all that we can do. I've also learned patience. BOY, have we had to be patient with working out this whole motorcycle ordeal. I think I've realized that I much prefer things being in my hands, and then I can get them done when I want and how I want. Haha, I sound like a total control freak, but I guess I kind of am. Sorting out everything with the bike, we had to make a few phone calls here and there, but for the most part, things were out of our hands. I think I can finally say, though, that everything is all sorted out, and we're even better off than we could have hoped for.

Let me back up just a little bit...

About a week or so before the bike got tipped over, Todd and I were really starting to stress out about our finances. We were also starting to really stress out about time. Squished in to our short time in Utah we would have to: 1) drive up to Idaho, then take and pass TWO paramedic exams; 2) find a job; 3) find an apartment; 4) sell the motorcycle; and 5) find/buy a car. Not only would we have to do all of those things, it had to be in that order because we couldn't get an apartment nor get a car loan without any proof of income. We were both really starting to worry that we wouldn't have enough time for all of these things, and that we wouldn't have enough money for it either.

Todd suggested that we start doing something he did on his mission a lot, and that is to pray for miracles. I didn't tell him this, but at first I kind of thought that praying for miracles was a kind of selfish thing to do. Then I started to think about that just how we're asked of the Lord to do everything asked of us, if we do all of those things, it's okay now and again to ask for blessings in return. It's only hypocritical or selfish if it becomes a one-way street, where we're constantly expecting miracles to occur but neglect to do our own part.

So we started praying for miracles. Then, not even a week later, the bike was tipped over. RIGHT before we had to move, and sell the bike. So much for miracles... or so I might have thought at the time. As we did all that we could to work out the whole issue, we started praying more fervently that things might work out. As soon as we got to Utah, we took the motorcycle to a shop to get an estimate. The insurance said that in order for it to be considered a total loss, the repairs would have to cost more than $2700. That would be the miracle that needed, we started to think. If the bike were totaled, the insurance would just give us the $2700, and then take the bike. Then we wouldn't even have to sell it. So after about 3 days, the estimate came back from the shop as $3500! I started to get really excited, but we still had to wait to see if our insurance agreed with their estimate. So then, we had to wait about a week or so for Progressive to send out an insurance adjuster to do his own estimate, and come up with a figure that both the shop and progressive agreed with. Finally, we got the estimate from Progressive, and at first, it was disappointing. Progressive's estimate was $2540... just $160 less than it being considered a total loss. I was so frustrated that Progressive wouldn't just round up, and let us call it a total loss. After that, we started brainstorming some more ideas. We contacted our insurance again, and found out that we didn't actually have to get the bike fixed. Progressive would give us $2290 ($2540 minus our deductible of $250), and then we could do whatever we wanted with that money. That was already a great start. On top of that, we would get to keep the bike, and we could try to sell it as-is!

So that's what we decided to do. We picked the bike up from the shop, took some pictures of it with the damage, and posted an ad online for $2000, and explained what happened to it. Not even half an hour after posting the ad, there was a lady SUPER interested in buying it for her husband. They were so excited about it, that they decided to drive down from Salt Lake (30-45 min away) that day to see it. By the time they got here, it was dark out. We pulled the bike in the garage so her husband could see it well enough. He looked over every inch of it, and then took it for a little spin. It didn't take long for them to decide that they wanted to pay us full price for it!

The most amazing part of this whole bike experience, is that before it got tipped over, we had been planning on just trading it in at a dealership and probably getting a maximum of about $2500 for it. After the whole ordeal, we got $4100 for it, which is $900 more than we even paid for the bike a year ago! This was a miracle for sure, but definitely not in the way I could have ever imagined. I thought I already knew that the Lord works in mysterious ways sometimes, but I'm definitely more convinced of that now.

So another miracle we witnessed was our housing all working out. Our friends, Kelli and Rodrigo, live in a really nice apartment complex that we were even considering moving into in Vegas. Right now though, the rates are super high, and almost all complexes need proof of income. Since Todd couldn't even apply for jobs until he passed his paramedic exam, we couldn't prove that we had any income until after we moved there. Two days after the incident with the bike happened, we decided it was definitely time to go to the temple. We definitely felt at peace, and comforted that everything would work out when we were there. Just a couple hours after we left, I got a text from Kelli asking if we wanted to take over her contract since her and Rod are moving to Colorado at the same time that we're moving to Vegas. We're WAY BUMMED that they won't be there, because we were super stoked to hang out all of the time, but it is also a huge blessing because now we won't have to prove income, and their monthly rent is super low. Not to mention, their apartment is SO nice :).

Big miracle # 3 is how we decided on our car! We were having a hard time narrowing down our options for a car, and were really debating between a few Mazda 3's, and few Altimas, and a couple Civics. We had been praying that we might be guided in one direction or another, to find the most reliable car. We were planning on going out and buying a car today, or tomorrow, so we needed to narrow it down soon. This morning, Todd and his dad swung by a tiny dealership to talk to a dealer that his dad had worked with a lot. Thankfully, this dealer informed Todd about a vehicle background check (like carfax, but better), and also showed us that a lot of dealers sell their cars under a clean title, but those cars will have still either been in an accident, or had major frame damage. Don't ask me how those cars are still considered clean titles, but somehow they are. Anyway, we paid for a month's subscription to this website, and checked a lot of the cars we were interested in. It also turns out that the car we would have most likely bought had had major frame damage! So we checked all of our favorites, and found the ones that were totally clean. We went out to test drive, and we found a winner! Todd also cut us a really great deal on a 5 year warranty for the car. I'm so grateful that we found out about those cars, and feel really really good about the car that we got.

So this is the pic of the car we bought. We never thought that we would buy a white car, but this one was by far better than any of the others we could find. We do actually like the color too :)

That's about all! Sorry about the novel, I'm sure there will be more novels to come!

Keep Todd in your prayers, that someone will see his application and hire him!

We must have just had a little TOO much to be grateful for...

Yesterday was a pretty fantastic Thanksgiving, until things later that evening took an ironic twist. So the start of our day was pretty average. I woke up at the crack of dawn (okay, more like at 8, but it felt like it), and Todd slept till I got too bored and woke him up. Then we took a quick little trip to the store to get some last minute ingredients for our meal. We shoved the ham in the oven, and since it was so warm out, we decided to get outdoors a little bit! We went and played a little tennis, and then we got to play some disc golf after that. It was really nice to get out; we haven't been able to since it has been so cold lately.

Since Summer and Chris are in Nebraska for Thanksgiving with Chris's sister and her family, they left us a key so we could come over and enjoy their TV while they were away :). We decided to take our Thanksgiving feast over there, since we don't really have anywhere to sit in our apartment (nor do we have furniture of any kind here). So we got there about 3:30 and started cooking away. By about 5, everything was ready, and we were trying to hurry because Walmart's "Black Friday" sales started at 6.

 Right as we were sitting down to eat, there was a knock on the door. I answered the door and saw a man, and the first thing out of his mouth was, "Uh.... whose motorcycle is that?" I looked over, and the motorcycle had been tipped over.  My heart sank when I saw it. It had fallen right on the curb, and it didn't look like it was going to be pretty. There were two sets of parents (one mom, and one couple) who had come over to tell us about it. They said that both of their kids had been playing outside, and different neighbors saw them playing near the motorcycle. No one actually saw the kids do it, but as soon as it happened the kids were standing right by it with shocked looks on their faces. But since no one actually saw it, both of the parents were kind of trying to pin the blame on each other, while we're sitting there thinking that we sure as heck aren't going to pay the damages. When we picked up the bike, there were significant scratches, and the whole double exhaust pipe had been bent out of place.

So now, 6 days before we leave, we have to sort out a way to get the bike fixed. We called our insurance, and they started the claim, but we won't hear back from a representative until sometime today. To make matters more difficult, we're probably going to need to file a police report so we can prove to our insurance that we were not the ones who damaged the bike. Since we didn't want the police contacting these parents before they were aware, we called them just to let them know that we were going to file a police report just as proof for our insurance, not to get them in trouble or to press any charges or anything like that. The couple didn't answer, but when we called them mom, she started freaking out. Then her husband/boyfriend started yelling things like how we were trying to use them to pay for damages that were already there.

It's really stressful because we are going to have a deductible to pay, and we don't feel like we should have to pay it. Since neither of the parents will take responsibility,  if we're going to have these parents pay it, we're going to have to go through the court system... which could take a really really long time.

What most frustrating about this whole ordeal, is that these parents are not willing to take responsibility for their own children. If Todd and I had kids who did that, we would 100% pay the consequences, and then have our kids work to repay us for what they did. As a parent, my kids are my responsibility, and if they did something while I wasn't supervising them, that's on me. Unfortunately, these parents don't see it that way.

Despite the fact we did absolutely nothing wrong, we're the ones who have to pay for it. That's how life works I guess.

After that, staying grateful for the rest of our Thanksgiving was pretty difficult. We did notice a little miracle though. I didn't mention before that the bike was already over there from when Todd rode over while I was at work, and then it got too cold for him to ride it home. If we hadn't decided to go hang out at Summer and Chris's, we would have never found out about the bike. We would have gone over today, or Saturday and seen it on it's side, with no one there to let us know what happened. So that was a miracle amidst the heartbreak.

More than ever, I'm grateful for Todd. He is so good with talking to people and handling situations like this. I wouldn't be able to cope with or handle all of the things we've had to go through without him.  We'll keep you posted on what happens. Keep us in your prayers that the Lord might work miracles to help us sort this out before we leave.

Oklahoma #3

I'm pretty sure I promised that I was going to have a lot more time to update our blog more frequently, and that hasn't happened at all! So sorry, I guess I just haven't felt like there has been much to update... And I think we always think we're going to be less busy than we actually end up being (if that sentence made any sense at all).

Todd's internship has been going really well. He had to endure a lot of drama with one of his preceptors, who was... not the nicest guy to say the least. Despite the trials, he has learned a ton, and he's gotten to see a lot of different things. I am constantly amazed by all that Todd does, and how much he loves helping people. My husband is amazing. On top of working 12 hour shifts, four days a week, he is also taking (and rocking) two online classes. He also just started the night shift last week, which has been another challenge. On top of not seeing each other the days he works, we can't even talk to each other over text because either I'm sleeping, or he's sleeping. Even on our days off we hardly see each other. It's been brutal, but he only has 3 weeks of the internship left! I'm counting down the days!

A few weeks ago (maybe close to a month ago) we started to realize that the weather was going to make it too dangerous for Todd to be able to ride his motorcycle to and from work. We didn't anticipate that we'd be living as far away from his work as we do, or that he'd have to ride on the freeway for his commute. We started considering trying to sell the bike and buy a car in Oklahoma. We were car shopping for about 3 weeks, getting quotes on the bike for a trade in, and test drove quite a few cars. Then, one night we got talking about the bike/car situation, and we sat and figured out a way we could make it work with just one car until the internship is over. Our new routine is pretty complex, but it's worked out nicely so far. We were getting pretty stressed about how we were going to be able to afford a car right now, so it's a relief that we can put that off a little bit longer. It is also a HUGE relief to have my sweet off the streets and safe. I was getting so worried every time he rode it, and would panic every time I didn't hear from him. Anyway, I'm just happy not to have to worry anymore.

So over the past couple of months I've been studying hard to take my Spanish PRAXIS test (again). The Praxis tests are the tests that are required for teaching. I took the math and spanish one last semester, passed the math, but not the spanish. So last Sunday, Todd and I had to drive up to Wichita for me to take the Spanish Praxis up there (because it's not offered in Oklahoma). We got a hotel room Sunday night, and Monday morning I took the test. I was suuuuuuuper nervous, to the point that it was making me really sick. Todd helped calm me down a ton, and he also helped me study and prepare. I think it went pretty well for the most part. I'm just praying that my score will be good enough to pass. I find out in about a month, so keep your fingers crossed!

Tonight is Halloween, and my love is out saving lives! I was sad when I found out he'd be working, but we did get to party a little bit at the trunk-or-treat on Saturday and with Summer and Chris on Monday. We had a pretty sweet costume that I'll have to post a pic of when I can get the pic from Summer and Chris' camera. Well, I think that's about it! Until next time,

Todders and Christiners

Oklahoma: Part II

 Thought I might take this opportunity to show you some pics of our new pad! We have all of our things put away, and I think it looks quite nice. It's funny though... I think this apartment is about 3 times bigger than we needed. That's alright though, I love our little set up.

So this one is our bedroom. We decided it wouldn't be worth it to put the bed in there since our TV is in the living room. All we have in there is a few suitcases, and all of our clothes in the closet. 

And it's a walk-in closet! Turned out to work very nicely. 

This is our living room! we borrowed that massive air mattress from Todd's parents, then Summer and Chris loaned us their super big, memory foam mattress topper which is the most comfy thing ever! So we designated the air mattress as our couch and the mattress topper as our bed. It also gives us a very nice back rest when we're sitting watching tv or something. Also notice our cute little TV stand! We found it at Goodwill for only $10! We did have the tv on our ironing board, but it was still too low to the ground for us to see it well. 

We also needed some decoration, so we just taped a ton of pictures to the wall. I'm most proud of the black and white ones above our couch, and the cute little picture frame below the window.

 Here is our bathroom! we love it :)

 The lovely kitchen! I love the dark wood and the countertops. It's really too bad that we're only here for 3 months, because I do really like this apartment a lot!

Kitchen again. Notice, we have a pantry! 

And I think this is as full as it will ever get!

Look how much room there is! Hehe, oh well!

Well, there you have it! That is our apartment in 9 pictures. I probably could have shown less, but I wanted to show you every aspect.

In other news, I've been job hunting my little heart out up here... and officially have been hired by one tutoring company, and had my interview yesterday for the other one. I think it went really well, but they want someone who can fill the position permanently. So we'll see, I should find out at the end of the week if I got the job or not. If I don't get it, I will probably just substitute teach... even though I'm leaning more and more against that... only since the pay is so awful. We will see though. I just want to start working soon, because I feel like our money is dwindling fast! 

So Todd is on his first day of the internship today! It's going really well, and he really likes the people that he's with. He says they're super patient, and really nice. It's such a relief! I'm glad he's already having a good experience :). 

That's about all of the updates for now... just living it up in Oklahoma!

The Trip

Alright ladies and gentlemen, the day has finally come... we are in Oklahoma!! We witnessed a couple miracles along the way that allowed us to make it here in one piece.
So we were able to fit everything that we were taking in the back of the car with us, so nothing had to go on the trailer with the bike. That was nice. So we strapped up the bike and headed out. Everything started off just fine. Todd started driving, and then we switched when we got gas. Then I drove for about 3 hours up a canyon in Colorado through a storm. It was windy, there was lighting, and it was raining pretty hard. Not to mention, the freeway was fairly busy, and our little car was STRUGGLING so hard to get up the hills (too much weight). It was hard to keep it going above 45 when we were going uphill. We finally made it to the top of the canyon, and stopped for some gas. We hadn't gone very far, but we burned so much fuel trying to get up the hills. We checked on the bike just to make sure it was still strapped on tight, only to find out that one of the straps was totally loose! It was still hooked to the bike, but wasn't even hooked to the trailer anymore. Not to mention, the other 3 straps were super loose. We were incredibly lucky in two ways. The most obvious is that the bike was still standing! We don't know how, but it only moved like an inch backwards, and that was it. The second lucky thing was that we didn't lose the strap. It could have easily popped off the bike, and would have been gone forever. If we didn't have a fourth strap, I don't know what we would have done to get the bike the rest of the way. Miracles.

Now this second miracle, I think, is even more incredible, and I am absolutely convinced the Lord was looking out for us. This is also a perfect example of how the Lord blesses us, and watches over us through his children. So we had just crossed the Kansas-Oklahoma border, and entered into a toll section of the freeway. To enter, you had to stop and get a little ticket stub from a person in a booth. To exit, you did the same thing, gave them your ticket, and they tell you how much you owe. When we were leaving, we pulled up to the booth, and the man working in it asked us if we knew our trailer wheel was wobbling like crazy. Apparently, even when we were slowly pulling up to the booth it looked like it was about to pop off. We thanked him kindly, and pulled into a parking lot right next to where we were and checked it out. Turns out, every single one of the lug nuts on the wheel was about one turn away from popping right off.  It was an easy fix, all we had to do was tighten them right up, and we just so happened to have the right tool handy. It was so lucky though, because we're both convinced that if we had gone any further going 75 on the freeway, that it would have popped right off, and the trailer would have been ruined, the bike probably would have been ruined, and we might have caused a huge accident. We just feel so much of the Lord's love when he looks out for us like that, and it's moments like these that make you realize that you can't deny His love and His power.

So, I I'm not sure what we were expecting, but our first impressions of Oklahoma were that it's super flat, and a little run down. I don't know if we've seen like a new-ish development or part of the city. Everything seems kind of older and out-of-date. Other impressions... people here have SO much state pride! They are all about how absolutely wonderful Oklahoma is. I'm not saying that they're wrong... I just have yet to be convinced :). We know one thing for sure, the freeway system here is so different than anywhere else we've ever lived. I think we've gotten lost every time we've taken the freeway anywhere.

Other than that... Todd has orientation for his internship today! He is nervous about the internship, mostly cause he's worried he won't remember things, but overall he is just excited to finally put everything into practice. I'm excited for him, and I know he is going to be great. The day after we got here, I had two job interviews. One was with a methodist daycare, and the other with a tutoring company. The daycare  was a little sketchy, and just really not something I think I'd like to do, so I'm going to call and tell them no today. The tutoring job, however was perfect and exactly what I want to do. It is part time, but in the afternoons. I could potentially still substitute teach during the day, and tutor in the afternoon. Before I decide to do that though, there is another part-time tutoring position I am looking into. It is a Math Lab Assistant for a community college. Both tutoring jobs together would be full time, and I would get paid much more than I could by substitute teaching. I got the job offer at the one tutoring place, so hopefully they'll want me at this other one. The only thing I am worried about is the fact that we're only here 3 months... I'm not sure if they'll want me because of that. Anyway, I will keep you updated on what happens!

Oh, one more thing! Our apartment is super nice, we really like it! It's a shame that we have zero furniture and/or decorations. Also, we found out when we got here, we have no washer and dryer. They also told us that we couldn't park our trailer here, even though it is so small. AND, despite it being 90-100 degrees every day, they closed the pool for the rest of Fall! So, quite a few frustrations... but we'll get over it.

That's about it everybody, I'll update soon with some pics of our cute little set up, and details about our jobs!
