Busy Busy!

We have been so busy! But now things are starting to settle down and I officially started my new job yesterday and Matt officially started working as the After School Coordinator today! I will have a lot more internet time on my hands as I sit at a desk a lot when I monitor.

So far everything is going good. Most of my girls are moved in. I only have 3 girls that have not arrived yet, but they should be arriving shortly (as in they should all be here by tonight). I have many cultures represented on my floor! I have 2 from the US, 1 from Brazil, 1 from Canada, 3 from Vietnam, 1 from Japan, 3 from China and 7 from South Korea.

They have all been good so far... although I did have to just yell heyyyyy into the hallway because two girls were cussing about how much "stuff" they had. They said sorry and that was the end of it though, so that is good! Most of them have been very respectful towards me thus far and I certainly hope I only gain more respect from them as the year goes on. Everyone is still getting a feel for everyone else (them and me, they all know each other). Things have been a little loud today, but not really more than expected since they are moving in and seeing each other for the first time in a few months. Things will calm down and be quieter once school starts tomorrow (hopefully!).

Tomorrow is my first day off though. Matt doesn't go to work until 2pm tomorrow so we will either just relax around the apartment resting up from the craziness we have had the last few days or we may go relax at one of Disney's water parks, and just leave the water park around noon to get back in time for him to get ready for work.

Other than that nothing else is going on. Oh! Matt got his job at the Youth Pastor at the church. They voted on it yesterday.

Also I am hoping to get my Yorkie soon! I found one from a breeder not too far from here. They have two males (we want a male, they are cheaper for one, and I have heard have better temperments) for sale. I would like to go look at them next tuesday! BUT that is still undecided so we will see. I'm excited about getting one though, so I have a little puppy to sit with me while I sit in the office. Plus they are just so darn cute!

Anyways, that is it for now.

Starting work!

We've been busy getting settled in doing things like visiting with people from the church, taking a CPR class (4 hours long!), we also have been to the Disney parks a few times (I will put pictures up on photobucket soon).

Today (well in 5 mins), I am leaving to go on a retreat for work. We are going to stay overnight at Vero Beach, which is on the east coast. Doing mostly team building stuff and talking about the upcoming school year. I'm looking forward to it. I will get to really learn more about my job at the retreat.

In other news, we are suppose to get by Tropical Storm Fay, which is suppose to turn into a Category 1 hurricane. It is suppose to hit Tuesday afternoon and we are getting back from the retreat Tuesday around 3:30, so cross your fingers we get back from the retreat before it hits!

Disney World- Magic Kingdom

So we got the apartment all set up so we decided to take a break and take ourselves to Disney. We were just going to go to Downtown Disney, but we ended up just going ahead and getting our passes. It was Matt's first time ever in the Magic Kingdom at Disney, and he had a pretty good time. We put a few pictures up on photobucket.

Other than that, we are just spending time getting settled in. Matt is at a meeting at the church currently.

First Days in Florida!

We have officially moved to Florida. The drive down was pretty uneventful, long and boring, we were VERY ready to get out of the car after those 15 hours. We only stopped twice, just before Nashville, and once a little before the Florida border.

We are finally here though! We like our apartment much more than the one we had in Bourbonnais. We got the keys and our "Relocube" yesterday. Matt and I got everything out all by ourselves including the bed, both couches, the heavy coffee table and dresser. We did it in about 4 hours. All we really did yesterday was get everything out of the cube and got it into the apartment.

Today we woke up and started to put all of the furniture where we wanted it to be, and started to unpack. We've been doing that all day and just got done with dinner. Matt is currently putting our kitchen table together. I'm getting ready to go check on our clothes that are in the wash.

If you go to our photobucket website you can see some pictures from the move and a video of our apartment. It is a video of our apartment when it was empty and we hadn't put our stuff in it yet. I'll do another video when we have it all set up. Here is the website: http://s335.photobucket.com/albums/m450/mjfry512/Moving/?action=view&current=EndofTimeInIndianaAndTheMove260.flv
