Our New Life

I have been thinking about updating this for awhile, but something else always seems to distract me. But today as I was sitting at the computer not wanting to apply for jobs I wondered over to my blog. Its hard for me to want to apply for a job when I just left the perfect one. This past year I was teaching clothing at a middle school in Lehi, Utah. There were challenges and struggles, but I loved it! You are probably wondering if I loved my job so much why did I quit? The answer is simple, I love my husband more. He graduated from BYU and commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force.

With his commissioning, meant our first PCS (Permanent Change of Station) we were moving. We packed up, I took my vacation, and we drove across country; which was definitely an adventure! Since I had to get back to work we made the drive in as few days as possible. We had some fun times, like spray paining cars in Texas, and some not so fun times, like when the moving truck broke down.. (Side note: if you are renting a moving truck I recommend Penske they were great to work with when the truck broke down, they hired movers to repack all of our stuff into a different truck-- I've heard other moving companies aren't that nice.)

But we finally made it! We got really lucky and found an apartment the first day we were here. We signed the lease the next day and started moving right in.

I went back to Utah, finished the school year, and now I'm back! I have loved decorating the apartment. I have done a lot throughout the apartment but I don't have a single space complete yet. I will post pictures soon with some advice for decorating a rental.
