ALMOST THERE!

So I have been lacking on this blog thing. Anyway, we have 5 more days until we are done done done!! Work has been really tough the last weekend. I have had some absolutely terrible horrible customers. But you know what, in a few more days we are done and it will all be a memory that we have learned from.

We got our apartment key, and we are so stoked to get into the new place!!

Two more weeks

Well the main story of the last two days is that we got ourselves an apartment. It's in Springville! It's on 300 South if you want to see where it is. It's a nice one bedroom apartment that was recently remodeled. It's actually an older house converted into 3 apartments.. kind of interesting. We are sooo happy that it's not a basement and that we will have lots of natural light. It's a little small, but we aren't paying as much and it's in a location that we wanted. We wanted to be out of the Provo/Orem hussle and this is a perfect fit for us, especially since it's only 3 minutes from the freeway so we can still get to school pretty fast.

This week my goal is to try to be as positive as I can. It's going to be hard but I'll do my best. We'll probably sleep in as much as we can to make the days go faster and get things all squared away for when we move. We are just so excited to go home and these next two weeks can't go fast enough!

Mornings

We are going to Florida on Sunday! Jessie and I decided that we needed to have something in the near future to look forward to, so we're heading down to Florida for a day. It is a 3 hour drive so it's not even that bad. We'll wake up at around 9, maybe go get some breakfast, and then drive down to Destin FL. It's at the western edge of the panhandle. Not many waves but the white sandy beaches go on for miles. We will try to get some pictures together and post them on facebook and on this blog.

Today has been okay. It's 5:23 right now and I am waiting for my first job. It's pretty common for me to get my first job around 5:30 to 6:00 these days. I don't mind, more time to spend with my Jessie.

I got to talk to Nephi for a bit before work and that was awesome as usual. I miss sitting around talking to him. We have the same views on everything and we can just make fun of anything together. I think we could have a podcast where we just talk about anything and everything and it would be hilarious.

Hump Day

Today was not that great of a day. I pushed through it though. For me I suppose it's not hump day. But Wednesday seems half way through.
Well I got 2 installs today. Also tonight I went over and fixed this guys job. The owner was a complete jerk. One thing that I think is a pretty common theme here is that people think that they are entitled to everything. It's so annoying. But I fixed the guys problems and after all the sudden he thought I was the greatest thing ever.
Tomorrow rumor has it that we will be in Auburn. Yes, like the school. I will take a picture by the stadium.
We're having a hard time finding an apartment. We have our cat Lily so she makes it hard. We will probably have to end up in Provo :( Not the best but it's okay. As long as we have a bedroom and sunlight we will like it. We've been in hotel rooms and extended stays all summer so anything will feel amazing.

19...

Today was okay. I got a job, it cancelled; got another job, it cancelled. Finally got one. The rep is this guy who talks so quiet I want to rip his face off. It's all a show cause I know he can't talk that quiet in his normal world. I honestly can't stand him just for that. The job went relatively well. Then I got another job for my favorite rep. His jobs are always huge though. It was a takeover full package which means it takes me about 3 hours. The lady's name at my second job was Ebony White... figure that out.

Today at my first job the family was a mom and dad and 3 really small kids. The kids were kind of crazy and the parents looked just exhausted. They looked terrible. I was thinking the whole time how could I not be like that when I have kids that are 3-5 year olds. I just pray I don't have all those kids that are all crazy. The kids were running around in their underwear and screaming and the parents were at the table just staring down looking like they could go to bed. Maybe they were like that because they know they just made the biggest impulse buy of their life.

3 week mark...

I have 3 weeks left. It feels so short and so long at the same time. So I am going to blog as much as I can because it's going to be a tough 3 weeks and this may make it easier.

Today we got up without knowing anything. We didn't even know IF we were moving until 11am. My boss didn't really tell us anything at all. Nothing new there he never tells us crap. We got word to go to Montgomery so we packed up and headed out. It's about an hour and a half drive. We got to the La Quinta Inn at around 4. We were in room 230 to start, and after we got into that room we got a call on the hotel phone to move to 205. All the better because this room has a king size bed instead of 2 small beds.

I didn't get a job until 7:30. The job was fine. It went pretty well and the guy was cool. Sometimes at the end of the day I feel pretty good. Tonight was one of those nights. I think it's because I am so happy to go home.

I will be updating this a TON these last weeks because it could be pretty therapeutic for me. Sometimes just getting my thoughts down make me feel good.
