Goodbye Layton

So this is our last week in our little apartment.  I suppose it's a little bittersweet.  This was our first apartment after all...  But mostly I'm excited.  Because this place is SMALL.  Our bathroom and kitchen are tiny.   So I've been slowly packing boxes of kitchen stuff, and now we are living off bread and soup for the next couple days.
We met with a realtor yesterday and started looking for houses.  It's sort of exciting, we've already found 2 or 3 that we like and are going to look at this week.  For now, we'll be living at Cord's parents' house.
Kuzco update:  He is 7 months old now, and still a little bit crazy.  He is going to have to get his toe amputated because it's not getting any better, and they have no idea what's wrong with him.
Harley is growing like crazy.  She's already bigger and weighs more than Kuzco.  All they do is fight-play.  They like it a lot.
Did I already say this?  I don't remember.  Cord got a job at L3.  I am so proud of him!  It's a great job, and he can move up pretty quick.
I started a very part-time job at the Wight House, mostly because I have a secret dream to work in the wedding business.

On Getting Old, Camping, and Other Stuff

Okay, a horrible change has taken place in my life.  I can no longer sleep past 8.  Seriously?

I spent this past week camping with Cord's family.  We took the puppies, and it was super fun.  Here I am, about to go out on a hunt with Cord.
On one of these days, me and Cord went fishing all day in a boat.  I got a horrible sunburn, but caught five fish.  I could only keep one though.  Cord got one too, and we had trout for dinner that night.
On the last day of the hunt, Cord shot an elk.  He was so excited.  We got 160-ish pounds of meat out of it!  Yay. 

We got back late late late Friday night, and on Saturday I went to my friend Sara's wedding.  How exciting!

Change

Anyone that knows me knows that I don't do too well with change.  I'm one of those people that has to have everything planned out.  If I don't, I just stress about what is going to happen. 
Lately, it seems like all life has been about is change.  Ever since getting married and moving out, change, change, change.
I was supposed to start nursing school this past Monday.  Unfortunately, the school I was going to be doing at it didn't actually get the accreditation they were so sure they'd get.  40G's is a lot to put towards a maybe in the future.  So, I dropped out at the last second.
Which left me with an entry-level job two days a week, and absolutely no idea what to do now.  I laid in bed depressed about it for a day.  Then I figured I'd better get my butt in gear and find something else.  Right now, the most likely plan is that I will be doing Stevens-Henager's program instead.  If I do, I start in 3 weeks.  Not too bad of a setback. 
I can't believe how quickly time has passed.  It's already time for us to move out of this little apartment in a month.  After realizing that unless we want to move to a college town, we will be spending no less than $800 a month on rent alone, we decided it's time to buy a house.  So we are moving in to Cord's parents' house for 2-3 months while we find a house, put in an offer, and get moved in.  More change!  Yikes! 
One good change happened though; we started "theoretically" talking about getting another puppy.  This one would be "Cord's puppy" since I got Kuzco mostly for me.  Anyone that knows Cord knows that he has always wanted a lab.  So, we probably got a baby lab/heeler two weeks ago.  We named her Harley.
She is a hard little puppy.  She whines, cries, howls, potties all over, and chews on EVERYTHING.  We now realize that Kuzco was a little angel.  But it's okay, we love her.  And luckily so does Kuzco.

I've had a fun end to summer.  A couple weeks ago I went to Disneyland with my family.  It was so much fun.  I will always love that place.
I am leaving tomorrow to join Cord and his family on their annual hunting trip.  Me and Kuzco are driving down to meet them, and we are staying all week.  I will probably be fishing, not hunting.  Ha.  So I guess there's one benefit of not doing school right this second after all.... :)
