Slow week...

So it's been a slow week for me.... I haven't heard from any of the jobs that I had previously interviewed for.  I continue to apply for jobs, and keep my resume out there.  Please cross your fingers for me!  I do know that something will work out!  I haven't lost hope!

I did have a successful day of shopping for work clothes yesterday, it was lonely shopping all by my self and wish i had someone to shop with.  I feel that I got some good basics that will make me look a little more professional.  If only I could get a call for another interview!

Other than that I'm just hanging out in the warm weather.  Hopefully I can go lay by the pool with some of Kyle's classmates.  I cant believe that its snowing in Oregon!  Hope everyone is doing well!

We arrived

We made it to Arizona on Feb 9th!  Kyle picked out a restraunt and we enjoyed a relaxing evening.  

Before Dad flew back to Oregon, we went Orange picking at a grove over by Kyle's school.  It was fun, and the oranges were amazing!  It doesn't take very long to pick oranges... but it was still fun.

Picking Oranges!

Thanks Dad!

Disneyland

So here we are at the gates of Disneyland!  We got up, had breakfast and were off for a day at the happiest place on earth.  The first thing we did was the finding Nemo submarine ride, it was very cute.  The lines for the rides were really short (10 min max) and the weather was perfect! 

This is my dad outside of Club 33.  Apparently it is very exclusive.. and very fancy.  Its tucked away, and if you didnt know about it it looks just like a regular door.  We saw some guy trying to talk his way in, but the person on the inside wasnt having it.  

So for the first time ever, we got the front seat of Splash Mtn. But we didn't expect to get so wet!  

After being totally soaked.. we took a break and went back to change.  Dad was wet, but not quite as bad as me.

This is us at the end of the day!  We were tired, hungry, and ready for a cold beer.  We had dinner at Bubba Gump's.  Dinner was good, and the cold beer refreshing.  It was funny, the waiter thought it was amazing that i really liked beer (other than bud lite).  I told  him I was from Oregon.  Oregon has great beer, and great coffee.  

Trip down to AZ

Here are some pictures from our trip down to AZ.  This is Dad and I at the summit of the pass. We were extremely lucky that the pass was clear, and all in all it was a great way to start out our first day of travels.  We stopped in Sacramento CA, for the night and then continued on to Anaheim...  for our Disneyland adventure!

Look how nice it was!

Katy's Bday!

We celebrated Katy's Bday before I left.  I wish I could still meet you girls for drinks, coffee, or just to sit down and chat with you! I miss having you around!

My Girls!

I miss all of my portland girls.. so I thought i would post some pics from before I left.

Thanks to Mikaylee... Wildwood wined and Dined us!  It was wonderful!

Char and I !!

After our Dinner.. so full but it was so good!

Missing Oregon

Well, I have been in Arizona since Feb 9th.  My dad and I had a great trip down here and it was great to have him help drive me down.  I felt much more at ease going over the pass knowing that he was there and he could help put chains on if needed.  Thank goodness it wasn't necessary!  I think we actually picked the right time to leave, and we had a wonderful trip down.  We even went to Disneyland!

Since arriving to AZ I have been trying to find a job, it would just make me feel better knowing that I have income coming in soon.  Its very difficult for me not to work, because I am so used to working.  I have basically had a job since i was 16.  I take pride in going to work, and having something that I enjoy doing.  It is also difficult since I had such a great group of people that I had been working with.  I miss them all very much!  I really do know how lucky I was to have such a great group of people to work with.  

Kyle is extremely busy with school, but I'm glad that he's doing so well.  It was nice to spend spring break with him.  We went to Vegas and also took a trip down to Tucson.  We also celebrated my 25th birthday!  25 sounds old.. but I am really excited to be 25.  It sounds like a good age to me.  It was great, we were able to sleep in, and then make breakfast together!  We went to a Spring League game - the A's vs. the Cubs.  We then went and celebrated at a Oregano's (an Italian restaurant) we finished off the night with bowling.  It was had not being close to my family and my close friends, but all in all it was a great day.
