Well, I still haven't found my camera battery charger and my battery is too low to upload the photos onto my computer! I have a ton of photos I want to share... I guess I will have to just buy a new one.
But, until then I will share what we have been up to this last week:
*Got Dish Network. (without cable or dish you don't get any channels up here, not even ABC or NBC!)
*Been riding bikes like crazy. There are a couple great riding paths right next to our place.
*Been applying to jobs like crazy...still no real leads yet.
*Garrett was given a key holder position at work.
*We went to a church in Moscow last Sunday, and yesterday we went to one in Pullman that Lyndsey Vincent reccomended. We loved it and are so excited to get involved there! It is called Real Life Ministries.
*I have been working on June Tree Designs more. I am coming up with a couple new stuffed animals and will be posting some new hair barrettes and necklace pendants soon.
*We went to Spokane. It was beautiful, because the Spokane River runs right threw the town and they have a few walking bridges where we stood above it and looked down...a little bit scary.
That is about it for now. Hopefully next time I blog I will have pictures to share and news of a new job! :)
(which I could use prayer about. :) Thanks!)
Oh yeah, and check out Garrett's new blog http://garrettsanchezdesigns.blogspot.com.

Today
It was a gorgeous day today here in Moscow. Garrett had to work, but got off at 2, so we decided to go to the campus's Botanical Gardens. It was so pretty. We walked around for an hour and then came home for dinner. I made cheeseburgers and corn on the cob. Yes, that is right, corn on the cob! I was so excited when I saw in the grocery store. It is one of my summer and fall time favorites!
I think we are about to watch a movie and then will call it a night. Tomorrow Garrett has off, so we are going to try a church in Pullman, WA (7 minutes away) and then we are going to go up to Spokane to visit. It is only 1.5 hours from here.
We have taken some photos, but can't find our battery charger, and our battery is too low to load the pics on the computer. That means I have to buy a new one and then I can take more pics and post them for you!
Well, that's all for now.
Miss you all- so much. :)

We Are HERE!
Well, we made the 5.5 hour drive up to Moscow in one piece and now we are in our new apartment!
We had such a busy past 4 days that the time has just flown by! I still have a lot of unpacking left to do. I hope that within the next 2 days I will have this place looking and feeling a bit like home.
I am so mixed with feelings right now. I am excited for this big step in our lives and how this move will effect our future, but I am also very sad to be away from all my family and friends.
I really am praying that God will provide us with a good church and friends while we are up here. I also am praying that I can find a good job quickly.
Our apartment is so roomy compared to what we were living in before! I actually have counter space and a double sink! Oh, and an actual bathtub! Woohoo! haha.
I will post pictures soon, once I get everything looking how I like it. :)
Thanks to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers for us. We love and miss you!

Moving Stress
I can't believe how quickly the time is passing. We are leaving for Moscow this Monday! Only 4 more days living in my beloved Boise. :(
I must admit that I starting to stress a bit with all there is to do.
Tomorrow is both Garrett's and my last day of work. Weird.
I just got done having a "goodbye lunch" with my dad. Sad.
Still left to do:
1. Pack
2. Pack
3. Pack
And...
PACK!
We also have to pick up the U-Haul, load it, clean the house, load the church's furniture back into the house that they had before we moved in, dinner with friends and two different dinners with family.
I am trying not to worry and trying not to be sad yet, but I am. So, I am praying that God would calm my nerves and help me to be excited for this great step in our future!

God is ALWAYS Full of Surprises!
What a week it has been. You can go to sleep at night thinking one thing and by the time you wake up the next morning everything has changed...
This is what has happened to Garrett and I. We have been planning for quite some time now to head up to the University of Idaho for Garrett to start and finish his education in Architecture. We were planning on moving up to Moscow in July, well, God had different plans.
Garrett's job was transfering him to a store they have in Moscow, they told us the position will become available in May and that they will hold it for him. Well, a few mornings ago I woke up to a phone call from Garrett at work saying that they cannot hold it for him that long and to take the position we have to move up there in May! I was shocked...that is 3 weeks away!
Like I said God is full of surprises.
So, Garrett and I are moving up to Moscow officially on May 18th.
God is working everything out. We fully believe that He is putting everything together in such a way that it could only be Him. We are just praising Him!
We are sad to leave Boise and so soon, but are so excited to work towards our future and our goals and can't wait to see what God has in store for us next. :)

Easter
What a great Easter this year. We had an amazing church service! The place was packed, the music awesome, and the sermon what touching! Perfect.
The weather was simply gorgeous. Garrett and I went to take pictures, but our tripod broke, so we didn't get very many and they didn't turn out very well. Here is one of my brothers:
Then we went to my grandma's house for dinner (even though it was at 1 o'clock) and time with the family. It was so much fun! The dinner was delicious! Ham, asparagus, potato casserole, rolls, deviled eggs, veggies, crackers and dip, and of course candy and pie!
We spent the afternoon talking and hanging out. The cousins then decided to have an Easter egg hunt and everyone...including grandma...joined in!
So much fun!
My grandma still makes Easter baskets for all of us grandkids even though most of us are out of high school. :) In one of our eggs was $10! So, afterwards Garrett and I went shopping to spend our money! haha. We ended up each getting a shirt. They were both on sale...conviniently $10 each!
It was such a great Easter...one of the best ever. :)
Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins and for raising again! We serve a living God! Praise the Lord!

mY LiFe...
I haven't written in awhile... mainly because our internet hasn't been working, so I have been having to go to my mom's house to use her internet.
Some things have changed around here a bit. I am no longer cleaning offices at night. Kind of a relief, but left me jobless for a couple of days.
But, God definitely provided for us by giving me a new job in 2 days! And I only had to apply to 2 places! Amazing.
I start that new job today...in 1 1/2 hours actually. It is a part time job at Tuesday Morning. It is a discount home goods store. I like retail jobs and have experience in this area, so it should be good.
I am afraid part of my paycheck might slip away each month to things I find in the store! haha. They have so much stuff and a bunch of different stuff each week.
I am so nervous right now as I wait for my first day to begin. I can't get my mind on anything else.
I am just praying that it will go well and will go by quickly. :)
If you want feel free to pray for me too. :) hehe.
Besides that things have been good. Garrett is getting more hours at work and we are able to start mowing the church lawn once a week, so God is really providing.
Our small group had a party this last Sunday and it was a really great time. We had people bring their friends, Christian or not, just to get to know eachother and have a good time. We had tacos, sundaes, played poker (not me :) ), and watched "The Office." Hopefully, we will see some of the new faces at our next small group meeting.
That is about it for now. Just preparing everything for U of I, paying off debts (yay!), and enjoying these little snipets of nice weather.
Oh, what a life. :)
