catch up a bit.

Well I haven't been posting as much because we didn't get internet hooked up at our place yet. We figured until we starting working here, that was something we could go without. So I am posting at Brents parents house.
Updates:

1. We love our new apartment. Everything about it is what I wanted, its sort of tiny but its workable and it has all the features I wanted. Really our goals were to have our rent be in the 500 area, wood floors, and in a good area, and (NO BUGS). Our apartment is 525 a month and we only pay electric and 11 dollars a month for our gas stove, it has wood floors, and its a block away from downtown gettysburg... So it is a success.

2. I love being a phone call away from everyone I love. I have pretty much almost all of my family since I have been home at least on my mom's side. Brent's sister Julie got married the weeekend we came home, so he got to see all of his family in town. He llooovveeedd that. He missed them a lot when we were in Florida. And my aunt threw my mom a big 40th bday party, so that was fun to get to catch up with that part of my family.

3. Kitty has adjusted well. In our old apartment we had to close her in our room at night, because we had a roomate and she was forced to sleep. Now she has the whole apartment to prowl at night, you hear her galloping through the halls sometimes all night. And we have huge windows that she sits in all day and naps... She also gets a ton of attention from all the visitors, which I know she doesn't mind.

4. I found a job last week at Lutheran Home in Gettysburg. I used to work in the Lutheran Home of Hanover, but I interviewed for the one in Gettysburg last Thursday. I called them on Monday and she said that I got the job. I was so excited, she said the pay would be at least 9 dollars an hour, which is a dollar more than I made in Florida. And I am going to be a dietary aide like I was before. The only thing that sucks is that the process to actually START working in a nursing home is SOOOO LLLOONNNGG. Basically, the lady that hired me has to check on all my refrences. Then she passes me onto HR, then they run my background check.. Then they make me go to Hanover Hospital for a physical, then I have to get a 2step TB test, all in all I think it will be about 3 weeks until I ACTUALLY start making money.

5. Today Brent found a job. He had 2 interviews yesterday at Van Huesen and the Gettysburg Hotel... but neither one of them could give him the hours he needed. Then today he was set and determined to find something and he applied to Arbys. They told him to come back at 3 for an interview.... I know its not a super fantastic job, but none the less, its a job. It makes money, and the manager said that they are looking for shift supervisors, and if he works hard he would definetly be considered. He is such a determing guy, he just pounds the pavement until he gets what he needs... and I am very proud of him.

6. This is a very long post, so I think thats all for today.

Love ya === leah.
