Our move went well and we are so grateful for all of those that helped back in the beginning of August. We live in Archstone Desert Harbor in Peoria, AZ now. The apartment is cute and a HUGE upgrade from our old place, however our neighbors are a bit more questionable. We are in an amazing ward and we had to speak 6 weeks from the first day we moved in! It went well and gave us an opportunity to introduce ourselves to everyone. We have made friends with a few of the younger families in the ward but we still haven't been assigned our callings yet!
Matt is loving Thunderbird, however he gets tired of being one of the few who can speak English fluently. He is learning a lot and is is becoming superior to us less educated beings as he, "has to read Newsweek, the NY Times, and TIME magazine on a daily basis to keep up on the market flow and business direction of our economy". He works at the Alumni call center and is one of their best collectors (of course).
I am working at Ann Taylor Loft and get crazy people yelling at me or PMSing women telling me what to do. OK, it really isn't that bad but being stuck in a estrogen packed store 25+ hours a week can be a little draining. I really like it though. I am one of the sales leads (even though I am their youngest employee) and the discount is AMAZING!! School at GCC is going well. I am taking Pilates, Yoga and Chem and am doing well so far. Just found out that I got a B- in my online Algebra course! So relieved that ship has come and sailed! Phew!
Matt and I hang out with his mission buddy Baldo and his wife Lauren quite a bit. They are a lot of fun and we had numeorus pool parties with them for the last bit of summer.
It is finally cooling down here! Love that I can wear a light jacket now instead of sweating 5 seconds after stepping outside.
Every Sunday we go out to James and Ginger's house for dinner and hanging out. Camri, Troy and Bode are hilarious and we have had a blast hanging out with them. They ask if we can make cookies everytime and love to dance. They are the happiest little children ever and we like getting to know them better.
Dianne and Aunt Janice were out here this weekend as they helped Grandma Murray move down here for her winter "Snowbird" season. We got the VIP tour of the Monte Vista community and think that we should buy one of the little houses. Some of them are so cute! It's like one step up from every girl's dream play house. Anyway, it was fun to see them and watch General Conference at G-ma's place.
I have nothing left to report. So long for now, Blog.
