First days here

Well, let's just say things could have gone smoother. When we drove down Tuesday, it was ugly and raining. The previous tenant left our townhome a mess, and didn't leave Sunday like he was supposed to. So instead of our place getting cleaned Monday, it had to be cleaned Tuesday. When we saw it we were pretty disappointed; for example, the window sills had spider webs and dead stuff on the inside and bird poop on the outside. We were told the cleaning ladies were coming at 3, and the carpet cleaner at 5. When we got back from shopping, it obviously hadn't been cleaned. We did get out carpets cleaned thank goodness. By the way, this all would have been worse if we actually had any furniture.

Wednesday I started my new job. I really like it, and the people are all very easy to get along with. One of the main things I did was design a Christmas card for a client. The whole day my mind was on how our place looked and what I needed to clean, etc., so that wasn't cool. A.J. had his welding test/second interview at S&S yesterday afternoon, and he got the job! Yay! I am so excited for him. The new company he'll be working for, Boomerang, is just starting, but the owners say Boomerang will end up big enough to carry S&S. Sweet. Not to sound greedy or anything :) but it sounds like AJ will be getting raises as the company grows, and as they certify him. They were impressed with his skills. "Girls only like guys who have skills!"

Anyway, now it's Thursday, and I'm being sneaky and using my work's internet since we don't have ours yet at home. But I know you have all just been dying to hear how things have been going! AJ started his job this morning, so hopefully that goes well today. He's had a cold the last few days so I hope he can even breathe. We've been going to bed way early lately, so maybe that will help. Like 9:30 early. That should also explain why we haven't been calling much, sorry.

We love you all! Thank you everyone for your support and help. We're doin okay. But I wish it were Saturday!
