I just realized that I never posted that we got the condo that we went and looked at last weekend. This was a place that I found on Craigslist before we moved to CA. I was diligent and kept calling to see when it would be available, we finally were able to take a look at it last weekend because the tenants moved out on Friday.
We are very happy with the condo. It is 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, with good size kitchen and dining room. And the living room is pretty good size, we just hope we can fit all our furniture in there.
So anyway... the rental agent just loved us. We helped him clean out the rest of the garbage that the last tenants left in the place. Jonny also took down all the wiring they had strung all through the condo. He was so happy that we helped him do all the work, that he paid us $100. We also hauled the garbage to the dump for him. (The dump is whole other story, but whooo-weee... let me tell you, you do not want to go to the dump... it's worse than it sounds, even Josiah had the worst face I have ever seen him have. No Joke!) Anyway, to say the least we made good friends with the rental agent. (He rents out the owner's properties, not sure why, but he is a realtor himself, and I think he makes lots of money because he drives a fancy Lexus.)
Okay, so today we moved all our stuff out of our storage unit and into the condo and into the the 2 car garage it came with as well. :-) We did manage to get out of the storage unit and get the couch and loveseat moved, that my sister gave to us, as well. We are all very tired and have sore muscles tonight.
We plan to move our bed (that my sis is giving to us as well) and clothes and food in on Sunday. We are leaving that for another day because there is no way we could have got it done today with the late start that we had... plus it's suppose to rain cats and dogs tomorrow(Saturday) so that is not an option.
Well, it has been a good day and we are anxious to start moving in our stuff and getting all settled. We still do not have jobs, but Jonny does have one interview for a sales/merchandising job. It is not until Feb 1st, but he is excited about it. We are certainly diligent about sending out resume's... I think I have sent out about 50 by now and I think Jonny has done the same or more. We just really need jobs! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Blessings to you.

sounds great. I read on your sister's log you were moving this last weekend. I hear its really close - even walking distance to your sis. That is wonderful!
Well do keep us updated as you find the time. I'm sure you will be really busy in the coming days getting unpacked & finding a place for all your stuff in the sized down environment.
By the way - Lloyd & I are thinking of going down your way over spring break. It will be our vacation too, so help me think of cool places nearby where we would want to stay, but close enough to visit you too.
Hi Jennifer,
I am glad you have arrived at your destination--it is nice to hear from you!
I posted a list of quilt supplies on my blog, please let me know if you have any questions!
