Happy Friday the 13th

Well, I just got finished with another dosage of family visits.

Kendra just came out for a week and stayed with me and Chris, and though I only had 3 full days to spend with her due to work, it was a good visit.

The first few days, Chris was able to spend time with Kendra. He took her to see fireworks and to a family cookout, both of which I wish I could have gone to. When my turn came, we went and had a girly day, then went to the amusement part and the water park...both of which we ended up getting rained out of!

We also introduced Kendra to the awesome-ness of snow cone stands. There aren't stands in San Diego, so we took her to get a snow cone 3 or 4 times during her stay, because snow cones are just so dang good!

Chris still hasn't got an answer on his job with Putnam City, but he did give them a call asking if the spots had been filled.

The spots have not been filled yet, and in fact, another has come open! During the interviews, another officer left...opening a third position! I'll admit, I was beginning to get discouraged, but this news has brightened my opinion on the job and I'm really hoping all turns out well. I know Chris wants this job still, and besides...if Chris gets this new job, we're going to get me a new car!

On Sunday, Chris and I go to the house to take "before" pictures and do a walk-through. We'll sign the lease and start moving in on Monday!

I'm so excited, and though it's a small house, it's still a house! There's a backyard, there's two bedrooms, and it's a house! No upstairs neighbors, no sharing walls with neighbors...I can't wait!

It's going to be a busy few weeks with moving and cleaning the apartment, but I'm still thrilled. There are a couple of things that I think we may get deducted out of our security deposit (some linoleum in the bathroom is peeling up and a couple chips of paint have come off the wall) but I plan on cleaning the heck out of everything to get back everything we can.
