The Internets

Oh how I have missed thee. Now that you are back in my life, internet, I am sure you will be a huge help in procrastinating, updating and maybe even finding a job.

No Halley does not have a job yet: color me going crazy! I have had a few more interviews but no more offers. I keep applying and hoping that someone will want me eventually. I have an interview with a staffing agency on thursday morning but they will likely not have anything permanent for me right now. She said if everything goes well then they can put me in their database and maybe find me some temporary to possible hire work. I have some major cabin fever going on in this joint! Hopefully the home internet will make the job search a little more convenient since I won't have to go up to the clubhouse to get online anymore. I will need to use my laptop on wireless though since this computer doesn't have the MS Works suite so my resume wouldn't save or be able to be sent. Also this ergonomic keyboard is a bit unsettling.

Other than that, there's not a whole lot going on. Johnny is working and (thank heavens) getting some overtime. And we have an adorable baby bunny that lives in the bush by our back porch. We've been leaving him some celery and brussel sprouts and he and his family have gobbled them up. He is so cute! Johnny and I call him Peter. He is very speedy, and even though he runs away as soon as he realizes we're watching him, I know we're really good friends!

I'm sorry I've not been so good with the updates in the month we've been here but I promise it will get better!

Bon Avril Poisson demain!!

Quick Update from Kansas

No tornadoes yet! Woohoo!

We are moved in and Johnny is working like mad. He likes his job (I think he's liking the power a lot too). I am still looking for a job. I had an interview on tuesday but the job would not have been good for us and I have a job for a management position with customer care on Monday so wish me luck! Our new apartment is still full of boxes and I really have no motivation to un pack them...much to Johnny's chagrin. I got a new phone number (the collection calls for Aisha Johnson were REALLY getting annoying) so I now have a local number. Let me know if you didn't get the mass text and need my digits. I really don't miss Utah. Sorry. Imiss my friends and family lots and I miss having a job and my friends from work but the place itself...not so much. Our ward here is awesome! The Elder's quorum helped us move in and had everything off the truck in less than an hour. Sunday night we already had an invitation to dinner, everyone is so welcoming and friendly--a complete 180 from our last ward. Its nice being closer to my parents. They came up the first weekend we were here to help us get organized and set up the bed and couch and such. They came up again last weekend for Johnny's and my Dad's birthday. Its so great to know they are a short drive away if I need them or want to visit.

Sorry no pictures of the new place yet. We don't have internet at the house yet so I'm at the clubhouse mooching and looking for a job. Hopefully both the internet and job situations will be remedied soon. That's all for now. Time to make dinner for my husband. Much love!
