"The Valley"

Hello friends.

Here I am again, being awful at blogging. I'm sorry that I still haven't posted about "Part 2" of the Christmas break, but I do not have wireless internet, and I don't want to take the time to transfer all my pics that I want to use for my post onto the desktop that I'm using. soooo....you're just going to have to wait.

It's official: we are living in "the valley," of AZ that is. So far...its OK.

Luckily, our very good friend of my family is ever-so-kindly letting us stay with her, until we find a place to live. She has been so extremely welcoming and hospitable. Her and I even went to the "Shrek" musical yesterday, and it was EXCELLENT! I secretly get a little jealous of those people with so much talent, and momentarily wish I had their lives.

I never thought I would move to the valley; growing up, I thought it was ugly, stinky, and ghetto. Well, it still is, if you go to the wrong places.

Wolfgang is enjoying his new job, and I'm (not so) enjoying looking for a job, a place to live, and a car and....everything else. But hey, it's a journey, and I'm really getting use to this no-job no-school life. =bad idea. Going from being a full time student with two jobs to absolutely nothing is really confusing at first, but then becomes very delightful.

Since we've moved here (less than a week) there has been a shooting/lock down at a mall not too far away, and a terrible shooting that I'm sure you all have heard of by now. Not sure if I'm ready for this huge city livin', but give me a GPS and a few more weeks or months, and I think I'll be ok.
