A little Arizona

We have made it through Christmas and made the move to Arizona! It's been a very fun and event full last month. Both Paul and I have graduated from school, been to Colorado and back for Christmas and moved to bigger and better things in Arizona. We scored a sweet deal on a new flat screen! 55 inch 3D TV! You could say it's a new addition to our family ;) We had a wonderful Christmas with my family. We love going home, it's always so relaxing and refreshing! We are very thankful for such a wonderful family. When we got back to Utah, we prepared for the movers to come. Honeywell is such a great company to work for. The relocation package included movers, including moving both our cars. It was pretty fantastic to have them come!! You could defiantly tell that these guys have moved a few people. The movers looked tall and skinny but got things done fast, one of them picked up the washer, moved it out and loaded it into the moving truck (which was about 5 feet off the ground) all by himself. It was nuts!! I thought he was going to break his back or something! That night, our apartment was empty so we could start cleaning. Once we got it spotless and looking all shiny, then we went and stayed at Josh and Noelle's house. We got to hang out with them on New Year's Eve. We went to Trafalga, which was really fun! For just 10 bucks we each got 2 slices of pizza, a drink, 20 tokens for the arcade and not to mention, Paul and I scored over 600 tickets (so we got a bunch of candy), mini golf, laser tag, dippin' dots, and we still could have done another attraction, but we decided we were ready to go. We watched the ball drop too! It was a very Happy New Year's.
So now we are here is Arizona, we flew down here last Monday. Paul started his job at Honeywell and is really liking it! We are living in Tempe in the temporary housing that Honeywell is helping us with. It's a very nice one bedroom apartment that is fully furnished. We will get to stay in temporary housing for 2 months. After the 2 months are up, we will be looking for an apartment in Scottsdale. Scottsdale is central to all the areas Paul will be working! It's currently 70 degrees here, it's gorgeous! I'm still learning how to get around here. Luckily I have awesome parents that know me all to well, and got me a GPS for Christmas. Hopefully I will also learn to get around myself. We got to see Mariah and Colby and little Keaton this past week. They are living in Tucson about an hour and a half from us. I'm very excited to be near them, hopefully we will get to see them often! I am currently trying to look for a job in Dental Lab Technician. I hope to find one soon, so I don't get too bored. But all in all, Arizona is treating us well and we are enjoying life one day at time:)
