Here's to our new life in Vegas

A lot of changes are happening with us lately and I can't tell you how excited we are to finally settle down.  To unpack those suitcases.  To have a place we can call home.  Our home.  Matt has been in training this last week with a couple more weeks to go.  We won't be moving into our house for another month, so in the meantime we are staying with a family friend here in Vegas.  I can't tell them enough how grateful we are for them and their kindness.  Seriously.  They are awesome.

And what have I done with all my spare time you ask?? GOOOD question. 

• Searching and applying for jobs 
• Enjoying my mid-morning naps
• Finished reading The Hunger Games
• Enter every contest possible to win furniture/cash/anything really. (After the contests I have won this last year, I'm a total believer in winning.  Being in Vegas-  I hope to keep the luck as long as possible)
• Volunteering.  And sometimes volunteering Matt :)
• Talk to my family on skype.  Love singing songs with the kids and coloring.  I hope by keeping this up, they will remember me.
• Interviewing.  I dislike this one.  Somehow, I've been so lucky in my life to have most my jobs practically handed to me.  I'm hoping this won't go on for long before I find one I am happy with (and visa versa).
• Temple work.  This is one place can feel my time is worth something.  And what a beautiful  temple we have here!
• Dream of our new house and check on it frequently. (The flooring is now in!)
• Go to Nordstrom Rack and look at all the things I can't buy.  This is depressing really.
• Research the nursing programs around here.  Crossing my fingers that my credits will transfer okay.
• Stalk blogs while having one eye on The Food Network
• Wait for Matt to come home

Honestly, I have felt so lazy and worthless.  Not having a job makes me feel this way.  Maybe if I was in my own house I would have more to do?  Matt tries to remind me that I am making progress with the job and school search.  But, to me, it seems so miniscule.  I know I'll kick myself later for not just relaxing now- while I'm not super busy with life.
