Off to Las Vegas

In about an hour Justin, Sarah and I will be taking off for the cities and start our trip to Vegas filled with job hunting, apartment hunting and of course lots of night time fun on the strip. Our flight leaves at like 7am tomorrow so we'll be staying at friends of Justin's. We are not bringing our laptop with us and I'm not sure if the hotel we are staying at has a computer or not so you will probably not hear from me until Saturday. So I hope you all have a good week, I know we will.

Moving Update

Well we are moving during the middle of July. Our friends Sarah and Ryan are also moving with us. Sarah had taken the mining job in northern NV but they have not told her when she was starting, there was no place to live and just not being very helpful, so when Justin got the Vegas job she said screw this and told them that she changed her mind and would not be moving there. She has already gotten a few calls from geology firms out in Vegas so she will be flying out with us to interview and help look for a three bedroom apt with us. Ryan (Sarah's boyfriend) is staying out here and working but he will not have any problems finding a job, he likes landscaping and construction so that will be easy getting him a job. I right a way will transferring (unfortunately) to the Target in Henderson, then looking around after we get there for a job.
Here is the link to Broadbent, where Justin will be working.

Awesome news!

Great news everybody!!! Justin just accepted a job in Las Vegas! How exciting is that? He is in Chicago, visiting his buddies and staying at his Mom and Dads place and comes back on Thursday. He is calling is work place tonight and having the over night freight crew save boxes so I can pick them up in the morning and start packing stuff that we don't need. Don't know when we are moving yet, but we need to fly there in probably a couple weeks and find an apartment. I'm so pumped up that I want to start packing today, but I have tomorrow off so if I can get those boxes I can get at least some things done.
I will post more information when I get it!

Lost article

Today on Yahoo, I saw this article that you all should read. It is the official announcement of Michelle Rodriguez to the cast. All the producers said is that they wouldn't limit her to being in flashbacks. So she's alive on the island somewhere. I just visited the the new Oceanic air website. It's fun and should be checked out. I found a few easy to find hidden things but need to look up Hurleys cursed numbers and seeing what they do. Enjoy.

Summer Projects

With the school year behind us now (as well as school in general, hehehe) we have been busy with our summer projects. The first thing that we had to do it clean the whole apartment. We are both pack rats so this is always a challenge. It's hard for us to part ways with stuff, but sometimes you just gotta let some stuff go. We ended up bringing like 6 garbage bag and shopping bags full of clothes to a local thrift store. So now the apartment is generally clean. Our computer room is a disaster because now both Justin and my computers are down so they are torn apart and on the floor, now we just have the laptop.
My other project was to organize our wedding photos. All summer and fall after the wedding I was getting pictures from friends and relatives. The very first round of pictures I received I threw in a photo album so I could show to family and friends. After I got the album together I received combined, a 3 inch stack of photos. That is a lot of pictures.
So since yesterday I have been slowly pulling out sections of the albums and putting them all in order with the other pictures and taking out the similar pictures, ect. Just to give you another idea of how many pics we have, it has taken me the past two day, probably about 4 hours work, just to get through from the pre-ceremony pics to the end of the wedding and entering the limo with a grand total of 170 pictures. And that's with pictures weeded out. Tomorrow is the reception which is where most of the photos come from. Then I'll have to go out and try to find a wedding album that I like that will fit them all.
Another thing I have going on this summer is reading. I miss reading (for fun) so much. The school year just makes it impossible to get even a short story read. This summer I am reading a lot of books that are coming out as films. I have already finished the chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis for the movie The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the stories were great and it is a fun, quick read. I'm currently reading the complete set of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I will probably catch it at the dollar theater. I have to read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix again to remember what's going on so I'll be ready when Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince arrives. I don't remember when Goblet of Fire comes out to theaters but I'll have to reread that as well. I also want to read War of the Worlds, the preview looked sweet so that will be exciting to see.
Whew! Lots of reading to do, that will be fun.
In other news, Justin applied for a job outside of Las Vegas, has had a short phone interview and they are right now contacting his references. There are two NDSU Alums working there so I think that helps quite abit. Justin was told that he will be contacted next week, and hopefully with "some numbers." I would love to live down there. I have been to Las Vegas and thought it was great. I would move there in a heart beat.
