It all seems to be coming together.

I have been in Vernal for about a week now.  Chris and I are still staying at my parents...  I love my family to death, but I am ready to get out of here!  I got used to my own space, my peace and quiet, and I just feel like I'm intruding here... I know I am welcome, but it is still hard... The good news is we found a place to live!  We spent a couple of days driving around looking at places, and spent a day walking through a few places. 

We first walked through the month to month apartments, they were ok, but the only one that was available now wasn't pet friendly.  So we kept looking.  We found another apartment complex, really nice, but a little pricey.  Then we found a town-home, walked through it, but it had the smallest living room I'd ever seen.  It was ridiculous!  So the lady said she had another with a bigger living room... It is 2 bed, 2 1/2 bath, and the best part..... a garage!  WOO!  That makes me happy!  Haha, but we walked through it yesterday, it's not as nice as the apartments we looked at before, but it is nice enough for me.  Plus, it has a garage!  So we paid our deposit and everything today, we get our keys Friday, and pick up the moving truck back in Salt Lake on Saturday... The lady who was supposed to take over our lease is following through.... Everything I was worried about is coming together! 

Defenitly not without frustration though... I officially quit smoking...  I didn't really plan for a "New Year's Resolution" but it kind of happened that way.  I had told myself that when I get to Vernal, I will be done.  So I finished the pack I had on New Year's Day, and haven't had any since.  It was easier than I thought for the first couple of days, but it has had its rough parts too.  I have been pretty irritable today.  I kind of feel bad for everyone, lol... I am proud of myself though, and I am going to stick it out... I have wanted to give in a couple of times, but I'm not going to let myself do it.  I'm gonna stay strong! 

Chris is still liking the job.  He has to go back to some classroom training this week, but it will work well with our moving plans... Then next week he will do graves, then I think he's out on his own after that.  Which he is pretty excited about! 

Now I just need to find a job, and all will be well.  Getting this all to come together was easier than I thought it would be... So hopefully finding a job will be the same story.   Wish me luck!
