Total Supsense

So...after a week it's time for the big reveal.

We got a CAR! ha ha

We love it.


Its a Hyundai Santa Fe.

It's a pretty cool car.

I know not the worlds greatest surprise but we were excited about the fact that we now, after 5 years of marriage, have a second car. And that we were able to get it without a Co-signer at a 5.64% rate. (it helps when you have awesome credit) All the other first time buyer programs were 10% and you could spend no more than $10,000 unless you had a co signer. DUMB!

Wohoo, we're becoming true adults and building real credit. :)

Loads of awesomeness is happening. Patrick graduated, got a job, and has an internship at Jason Chavez Chaffetz (it would be nice to know how to spell you're congressman's name.)office. My department got funded and I'll be graduating in April. That big black nothingness, I mentioned in January, is no more.

We've been driving it like crazy. We've gone around the alpine loop, picked michelle up from the airport with it and even drove up to Park City. I think we've put like 500 miles on it and we've had it for like a week.

But we LOVE it and we are very excited.

NEWS

I have exciting news!!!!!

I have a job..our department is funded. HAHA! Super excited about that. :) Really I can not express the joy I feel about this.

I am no longer involved with the Timpanogos Marching Band. I really don't want to go into it...but basically it did not end well because of some people (2 to be exact, one a BAD word and another a former student) and another not willing to stand up for me and what I've sacrificed for the program. It was a horrible experience and I don't want to really go into it. Maybe in time I'll let you know. If you ask please remember I'll eventually tell you. Just not today and just not tomorrow...maybe in a month or so when I'm feeling better about it.

But it actually is making life a lot easier. I now don't have to worry about work and school and Audrey and Patrick and Timpanogos. I just have to worry about the other four things. I won't be having to take time off of work to participate and that is a great thing. I've worked it out that I can be done with my bachelors in April. If I take the right classes. I am extremely thrilled.

Patrick got the job with NuSkin. Like I said earlier he's going to be doing tech support again. It's not the greatest time slot. 4pm to 10pm. We won't be seeing one another. It will be hard but we'll have a second income....finally after 2.5 years and Audrey will drop to part time in the day care. Saves us $110 a month.

So this is how last week went.

Wednesday-horrible horrible practice with timp, which ended up with me feeling as though I should resign. Which I did.
Thursday - patrick gets job with NuSkin
Friday - I find out about my job being saved
Saturday - another amazing thing happened. I don't know if I am ready to tell yet. I sort of want to bask in the knowledge of people trying to guess. OOOOOHHHH lets have a poll. HAHA Vote :)

So go and vote.

Anyway I just want you all to know I am doing well. I have a million and a half picture that I've taken over the past few weeks that I am eager to show you. I just have to transfer them to my computer. Most likely it will be my next post.
