"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.

Editions

I love the farmer's market on campus every other Friday (pay day, sneaky sneaky)

Today was especially quite the event, because along with the farmer's market was a health fair thing of some sort. The farmer's market has really improved since it first started, and today we notice a few editions to the "menu," yummy cinnamon rolls, and this:


Mmm. I love bread. Especially with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar... mm MMM!

and,

Wolfgang is loving his new job at the Waikiki (Marriott) Edition. He's been working there a few weeks now, and this whole weekend they are super busy with the grand opening. Word has it that Usher and Christina Aguilera will be there; Wolfgang will believe it when he see's it.

If Usher really does show up, Wolfgang said he's going to ask him if he will make him famous like he did Justin Bieber. He'll even upload a youtube video, if he has to.

The hotel has been really hush hush about everything, but now that they are officially open, they have come out to the public. Click Here to watch a little clip about it that they did on the news today. (two picture icons under the red "Video Gallery" first the one on the right, then left.) Then there are some more pictures here. Quite risky with their choice of colors!
