Some Updates!

So. We've been a little busy! The expression may be overused, but when it rains it pours! I wish I had some fun pictures to post (those are always the favorite when I look at other's blogs) but I guess everyone will have to wait for next time!
OUR HOUSE: Is still for rent in Las Vegas, and is proving to be a bit of stress for me. I want to find good renters that will take care of the house. It's also hard trying to do it from California and so far we get a lot of response but not a ton of follow through...
OUR NEW HOUSE: Well this is exciting because we actually aren't living with my parents anymore! I would hate to seem like we're celebrating because my parents rock and have been so sweet and generous and great since we've been there, but it was time for us to get a place of our own again. I mean, how are newlyweds really going to feel comfortable with their parents around? Oh, and it's not a house btw- but a super cute apartment close by where we can get to everything we need and there's even views of the ocean! Not bad for an apartment complex. I love that we have a washer and dryer in our place and all brand spankin' new appliances too! It's perfect for us although we had to lose a member of our family for the move:( Moo is now presiding with grandma and grandpa although I come over to see her everyday because i miss her so flippin much!
WORK: Still substituting which I still love. Today I did 5th grade and had a blast with my little friends! They are fun, smart, sweet and constantly keep you on your toes. What's fun is that I was teaching at my mom's school so I have known most of them since they were little tikes and that is always crazy seeing how they grow up so fast!
Still studying my real estate- made it through two classes with one to go to get my agent's license. It's been on the back burner since we had to go to Vegas and move and clean and then were here moving and cleaning.
Still going to the auctions to look for killer deals on cars. In the process of finding my sis-in-law a new car and crossing my fingers we get it for her soon!
Still picking up random shifts at Beachfire which is my social time in a hectic world. Pretty nice to have fun hanging out with friends and people that feel like family and make a nice bit a cash doing it!
KIRK: I'm not just saying this, but he is just plain amazing! He never ceases to amaze me at how hard working, diligent, talented, smart, sweet and loving he can be all at once! He is doing GREAT at his job and loving it too, so that's awesome! I love that man more everyday.
NEW WARD: WE ARE SO BUMMED to be living the SC II ward but are really looking forward to the 4th ward. We are just going to miss our calling of teaching the 11 yr olds- they rocked!
NEW HAIR: I just gave Kirk a little haircut and got one for myself. Now I am super dark and have shaggy bangs- fun new look but can't WAIT for my long hair again.
WEATHER: Welcome SUMMER! Or so it seems. At 90 degrees today I am going to have to find solace at the beach to cool off here, but no complaints- I love the sunshine and the heat!

I'm sure I am forgetting a bunch of updates and will have to edit this blog later, but just wanted to say hi to everyone! I'll be checking your blogs soon:)
