So it's been a month since I last updated,. I have to say it's been a little crazy but not too busy. For those who don't know I relocated to Phoenix. After a less than a month I was offered a enrollment counselor position with a college. The pay is pretty good so I'm no longer really considering the military for now, especially since I can take free classes at the new job ( I start on the 31st). So I'm looking into doing an MBA in marketing. In addition, Matt and I found an apartment. I'm worried because the reviews online aren't great, I realized I should have done a little more research. But the reviews are general things that come with apartment living, i.e. roaches (only like 5 complaints out of over 200), noise and parking. I keep telling myself I've lived in much worst, plus the apartment is great and in a great location. So when we move in I'm going to spray the apartment down, invest in ear plugs and maybe pay for parking.
I'm slowly settling in to Phoenix, I finally changed my driver's license, but the 40+ minute wait made me miss small town Georgia. Where it takes about 10 minutes to get a license. I also got my name changed official, I went back in and forth with the whole last name change but I figured I was ok with it, plus it adds a bit more "pizzazz" to my name when I sign paintings.
I've also been doing a few more drawings. I'm hoping to get some art supplies once I get settled in the new apartment and job.
Other than that things have been going ok, I promise to do better on the blog post and don't worry I haven't given up traveling. Matt and I are planning a vacation to Central America...while I'm planning it, just because I'm married doesn't mean I'm going to stop traveling, just means I have someone to drag along with me. So it anyone has any tips on the best places to go let me know. I'm thinking either Costa Rica or Belize...but I'm still not sure.
8 ramblings:
Congratulations to your new job and new apartment!! :-)
You're making BIG moves in 2011, girl! Happy for you!
AZ? How is that going, as an interracial couple?
Thanks everyone! AZ is going ok, as an interracial couple it's good, I haven't noticed any starring or received any comments. Plus the only negative comments where from family. But it could be that living in Korea as an interracial couple has taught me to block out everything around me.
just getting around to reading this I am happy things are working out. I hope u enjoy the new job and apartment.
Apartment reviews!!! really interesting. Well, one thing is that you will always find bad reviews even on super luxurious apartments because people always complains about anything especially when they are mad at the landlord. For you roaches and other insects to go away; try to use Ortho Home Defense MAX if you never used it before. You can find it at Walmart or Target. Trust me it works. I tried it on my very 1st apartment in Alexandria; VA, which was a ROACH HEAVEN. They were all gone.
I'm really late in commenting, but congrats on your new job! All the best to you :)
