Goodbye and Hello

we moved! like I said a few posts ago Kevin got a job in Elko NV so we packed up our apartment and took off on Thursday!  two weeks before we moved we came to Elko to look for places to live, the housing market here is ridiculous and we spend six days here and didn't find a thing! we went to every single apartment complex and if they weren't low income they were completely booked for at least 3 months!!! We thought seriously about buying a house but then decided against it and put our names on a couple of waiting lists and even paid a deposit to be moved up on a list!  Kevin's company offered 30 days of housing for when we first moved so we figured we would take that since we couldn't find anything else but were kind of dreading moving everything into storage just to move it again when we found our own place.  We moved on Thursday and on Wednesday I got a call saying that an apartment had opened up! I couldn't even believe it so we took it right away!  The only bad thing is that it is upstairs so hauling everything up two flights of stairs was not very fun but we made it work and are almost completely moved in minus a few pictures that need to be hung up so we couldn't be more excited to have an apartment to call home, it is definitely a tender mercy that we can call somewhere home! 

While we've been super busy unpacking the house Kevin started work yesterday this week he has to do refresher trainings which are a little boring since he did all of them last year and sitting in a room for ten hours a day watching slide show presentations isn't exactly ideal but he likes the people he's met so far and seems to be enjoying himself minus the 4:15 am bus ride that he has to make!

Elko will definitely be an adjustment and we will miss Logan a ton but I'm sure in no time we'll really enjoy it.  We're really grateful to have a good job just after graduation and we're excited to start a new adventure with just the two of us!  I'll try to keep you updated but as of now we don't have Internet so I'm pretty cut off from the world but maybe that will change soon!

Stef In the Casino

This is Kevin this time. I'm not much of a blogger myself, but since it was Stefani's birthday and she didn't post anything about it, I figured that I would AT LEAST say that she has finally, after all these years, been exposed the wonders of a slot machine! She was winning left and right. By the time we left the casino she knew how to make all the right bets. We didn't even get carded! :) It was a fun little outting for us in good old Elko, Nevada.
