Old News, but Good News!

Wow!  It has been a crazy last few weeks, as you may have been able to infer from my lack of blog posting.

This is old news for many of you, but a few weeks ago Trent got a new job!!!  He started yesterday and is training now to become a Loan Processor at Chase.  It came just in time because this week is the last week of school down here so Trent wouldn't be able to sub anymore.  We are very excited because this job pays much better than subbing and we feel very blessed :)

It was pretty weird because the day before Trent was offered this job, May 2, we had gone into our leasing office to give our 30-day moving out notice.  It was a bit annoying because we may not have done that if we had known about the offer coming the very next day..ha.  Anyway, we have since been looking for a new place to live.  Trent thought it would be nice to have a bit of a shorter commute.  He works in Tempe which is about half hour away.  We also would love to rent a townhouse or even a house so that we don't have to share practically every wall with someone else. Since we've been looking though, we're starting to realize we may just stay where we are.  The town homes we've looked at are in kind of scary locations and each of the homes we've looked at are just a bit out of our price range.

We got a great tax return back in April and I had been pushing for a trip up to Utah to visit family and friends.  I kind of just gave up on the idea until Trent got this new job. Then we both got thinking if we wanted to take the trip we better do so ASAP because once Trent started his job he'd only have so many vacation days and he's already taking time off for a family reunion at the beginning of August.  So we did it!  We took a trip up to Park City!  That's probably the most spontaneous thing we've done!  Clearly we're not very spontaneous..haha.  Blog post coming sometime this week (maybe even tomorrow!)

Kind of a boring update, but I thought I'd let you know why I've been so MIA.  We've just been frantically searching for a place to live (we ended up signing for another month so now we're paying monthly rent which is like $300 more - blah! And we'll probably just end up staying here..haha), planning our spur-of-the-moment trip, and enjoying our spur-of-the-moment trip, and now we're back to reality :)
