Big Updates

So much has happened since I last posted. It's been quite busy with our move to Arizona and all. Oh yes, we moved. I didn't want to post about it here since it was a surprise to pretty much everyone in AZ. We had been going back and forth about it since just before the wedding but finally decided it was the best thing to do. We told my family on Thanksgiving since everyone was there and it would be easier than telling everyone seperatly. They were sad but supportive. I took my last final for school on Dec. 18th. I was supposed to have a final on the 19th as well but that one was cancelled due to weather which was awesome! We were supposed to get our stuff picked up by the moving company on the 19th but they called and said they wouldn't get there til the morning of the 20th. There was a big snow storm so we didn't think too much about it and just wanted to get our stuff moved out and be on our way. We started our drive late Saturday afternoon and stopped to see my grandmother on the way. We were supposed to leave friday and drive to Philly to see my brother and his fiance and spend the day with them Saturday but we just got to stay the night Sat. and go to breakfast on Sunday morning. Sunday we drove to our hotel in Tennessee and Monday we drove to Arkansas. We stayed in Super 8's to keep it cheap. Tuesday we got to stay in a Hilton Hotel for our Christmas present from my Dad in Texas. It was sooo nice. I was craving Red Robin the whole way since we don't have any i NH and when we got to the hotel there was one right next door! In our hotel there was a seperate bedroom, living room, and small kitchen. On wednesday we drove the final leg to AZ. We walked right into my in-laws house and surprised them. We said we were just there for Christmas and would be leaving in a few days. They believed us and on Christmas morning we told them we had moved and we went to get our cars at a friends house. They were very surprised and I was so glad they didn't figure it out.

Not long after our move we decided we wanted to get a puppy! Travis' mom found an ad online and we went to see some german shepherd mix puppies. There were 3 left and we picked the white girl and named her Keira. She is so cute but very stubborn. She doesn't like when we tell her no! She is very smart and learns new tricks fast.

We were having trouble finding jobs for a while. Travis decided to apply to be a correctional officer and is now going through the process and hopefully will get a job. I finally found a nanny job and I will be working for 2 families who are close friends which works out so I get more hours. I won't get as many to start since they still have their old nanny there until May. The kids seem really great and I will be doing a lot of housework and errands too. It's been nice having family to depend on while we aren't working but I can't wait to get our own place again!
