It's Been A Busy 4 Days!

Well, we made it to Flagstaff! :)

The trip was great, lots of beautiful scenery and no car troubles until we got into Flagstaff, and that was just a dead battery, so I'm very thankful for that !!

Friday night we unpacked the cars, went out to eat with Brian and Nancy (Mom and Dad for Alex) and then crashed out.

Alex and I were up with the sun at 5:30am due to a window that faces the East, and there was no going back to sleep. By 9am we had purchased a water bottle, ironing board and computer desk for $16.50...Gotta love Garage Sales :) The rest of Saturday was spent running around looking at furniture for Alex's apartment and orienting ourselves with the city. We happened to find a garage sale that was not listed anywhere and found Alex a really nice dining room table and chairs and a big bed for REALLY cheap!!! :) That night we decided to go eat at a local Brewery...decided it was not somewhere to go again :(

Sunday was about the same, a few trips to Target and Walmart, and we got another computer desk for my computer, a tv stand, and couch.

Monday was an hour spent at the DMV getting our new licenses, 2 hours at Wells Fargo setting up bank accounts, Dairy Queen, and MANY phone calls in the afternoon.

This morning I had an interview at the Hozhoni Foundation. It is a group home for Disabled Adults. The position is for full time on weekends from 3:30pm Friday to 3:30pm Sunday, still deciding if not having any weekends to get away is worth it. But I also applied at the Arizona Children's Association which would be helping kids transition from Foster Homes into a more stable environment, which would be more of what I would want to do.

Alex was supposed to start working tomorrow, but the HR guy is on vacation, so he will start Monday, which is a relief. It will give us more of a chance to get things in order at his apartment and get acquainted with the city.

He will have cable and internet in his apartment tomorrow, so when that happens we will upload pictures on here for everyone to see. Right now we have been using his phone or the computers in the commons building.

This is probably the longest post ever, but like I said, it has been a busy 4 days in our new city :)
