Just a little update after a brief absence

We are still just trying to get situated here. I can't believe we have been in the house two weeks already! Some days it feels like we have only been here hours and others years!

I am completely worn out most of the time! I know - waah, waah!

Lauren has made some new friends at school and some even live in our neighborhood! She has been riding her bike to and from school and is LOVING that! Mom only followed her once! :-)

Here is a smilebox I made of Lauren's room (and one guest room picture). It is the only room that is really finished - although I keep finding boxes and don't know where to put them in here!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

I will try to get better at just posting throughout the week. I feel like I need something to write about, but I guess a blog is really just what's going on even if it is nothing. I am hoping to get settled and then have some time to really learn this blogging thing. I really hate the background and want a new cool template. My friend Michelle (The Dream Team) has one and so does my friend Loni (Dog Eared Digest).

Anyway, Directv is coming in a few minutes to get us set up so I best be welcoming them so my hubby can have his football tomorrow!

Good news and bad news...

Good news - we will (hopefully) close on our house on September 12 (yep, this Friday). Lauren and I will stay here in Tucson until this weekend. Shane will sign papers and fly in on Friday night and we will pack up and head to the new homestead on Saturday evening. Lauren starts school on Monday, the 15th. Perfect timing! God is good!

Bad news - I am 14th on the list for the crime lab job. The odds of me getting it at this point are slim to none. I need 13 people to drop out or not pass a background check! Not great odds... Back to the old drawing board. Once we are in Vegas for good, I can really start the job search in earnest. Really, though 14th out of over 100 people isn't too shabby, but not quite good enough!

I need to learn how to put little pictures and stuff in my blog so it will look cooler and be more fun to read! Any advice would be helpful!
