We moved again. We're getting pretty good at packing up our stuff and moving. Since I've gotten engaged I've lived in Idaho, Colorado, Utah, and now Washington. Last summer Connor did Summer Sales in Denver Colorado selling insulation. He did pretty well last summer with the rebates programs from the power companies. So, through a lot of prayer and thought we decided to do it again! This summer, instead of Denver, we came to Pasco Washington. We got here a few days after our race and have been enjoying it pretty well ever since.
When we got here they weren't sure if we were going to be relocated or if we would spend all summer here. So, I hadn't started the job hunt until I had heard. Buuuuut Connor started doing so well, and I started enjoying our glorious apartment pool that the job hunt didn't ever really begin. People will ask me what I do all day and if I ever get bored. To be honest, sometimes I do. But overall, not...at...all!!! I love reading a book by the pool, working out at the gym, watching movies, cooking food, visiting friends, working on projects and leaving to visit my family! (only 4.5 hours away!) It has been such a fun and relaxing break! I feel like I'm on a three month vacation!
This is our cute little apartment. And when I say cute, the floor plan is about as cute as it gets. Connor's company has been so nice and has paid to rent furniture. It does sound SUPER nice, and it is! buuuuut if you saw the couches I had to sit on and look at everyday, you'd maybe wonder if something from DI would have been better.
I will have to get a picture because describing them won't do them justice. But just for a little idea. The material is puke goldish yellow and has no cushions for the back rest. The first day I wasn't sure if that's how they really are or not. But the more I sit on them, the more I'm certain they didn't come with any. Many of you know, that I am a tall girl! and when I sit on a couch I never EVER have a problem putting my feet on the ground. right? I mean most people don't. These couches though, if i sit all the way back, the bottom cushion ends after the bend of my knee! yeah......it needs back cushions for sure.
Overall, this summer has been so fun so far! Connor and I get to spend all morning together until about 1:00pm. Then he goes to his meeting, comes back for about 5 minutes to say goodbye and then they're off to their area for the day. Right now they're selling about an hour away so by the time they stop and get everyone together again, he gets back home at about 10pm. It's a long day for me to be alone. Especially since I'm one that LOVES to talk. It's pretty funny. Connor will come home ready to NOT talk anymore (because thats all he does all day long) and I am ready to go! A few times I would be so excited to tell him stories from my day or anything to hear my voice again I wouldn't realize that my volume is quite loud. Connor will stop me and say, "Janiece! Why are you YELLING?!" I guess when I go alllll day without talking my speaking volume gets off. Then the rest of the night is filled with either board games with the rest of the guys or Connor and me just spending some time together alone.
So far, Connor is doing well again, and I am enjoying myself completely. Hopefully every summer can be this nice!! :)
