BIG NEWS!

This past Monday marked 2 weeks till we leave.  "Two weeks till we leave and we still don't know where we are going?".  I'm sure you can imagine that it was a pretty busy week apartment searching, and how difficult it is to find one.  Apparently you have to have a job to get an apartment or something, haha.  It was so busy, that I wouldn't have gotten any packing done, if some wonderful people hadn't come and helped me.  I would be sitting here, and still not have any boxes packed, but I had wonderful help. Melissa, Morgan, Charity, and Joy, were such a huge help. Well back to the apartments, our search was narrowed down to only one option.  The thing was we had never seen it in person, and didn't really know where it was or anything.  Turns out Tim Keys sister lives over there, so another huge blessing, we got her number and asked her if she could be our eyes and go check it out for us and take pics.  It all checked out, she sent us pics, and it was the nicest apartment we had seen, for the best price ( It was on special).  It is a lot bigger than we thought we were going to get, the kitchen is still big so i can fit my cake stuff, and it has 2 bathrooms.  Oh and did i mention it has a pool and gym in it too : )  The special only lasted until June 5, and than the price went back up by a lot, so what do you think we did.  Its officially ours tomorrow, even though we wont be in it or see it for 2 more weeks.  So 1 week and 3 days till we load our truck, we officially got an apartment!!!!!  As soon as we settle in I will get pics up, I am new at this so i don't know how to put pics on my blog, but I will make sure I figure it out.  Another blessing is since we are paying double rent for a while, we found out how to save on the drive there.  We will drive to El Paso and stay with Adams dad, and just recently had a friend move to Arizona who said we could stop there and stay also.  So our driving schedule will look like this, drive to EL Paso about 10 hrs, stay the night, spend the day visiting my niece Mercedes, my sister, and Adams dad. Stay tue night.  Wed afternoon drive to Tuscon Arizona a little less than 5 hrs i think, stay the night, and than wake up early and drive 8 and a half hours to get to our new place!  See I told you it was big news!
