Things Are Going As Planned?! We Haven't Been Shot At?!

Ok, so it's been like 10 days since our last post and a lot has happened.

I started my job at Sally's Bakery and I love it! I have only baked a little bit so far. I am mostly training and cleaning. Yesterday, I got an early shift and I learned how to make bagels from scratch. Hopefully I will be baking more next week!

Christian has been doing some construction/carpentry work at a Bed and Breakfast for a really cool man named Mark. He is a retired nuclear chemist [I have no idea what that actually means other than he is a really smart guy]. Christian really seems to be enjoying working for him [and he's learning some potentially useful "husband" duties]. Funny side-note: Mark calls red-necks "Canyon Critters" and I guess we "will know when we see one."

Christian also [finally] got the barista-ish job at a local coffee shop called Montana Coffee Traders. The manager seems like a cool lady and everyone that works there seems nice.

We are also in the process of applying to rent a really cute, yellow, two bedroom house with an amazing porch. We'll know if we have been accepted in the next few days. [No credit check, by the way. They don't even have our social security numbers. I LOVE MONTANA!]

Everything is working out really well for us here. It's really nice to feel like we are headed somewhere for the first time in almost a year. And we are so close to being independent again! We are really excited to start hiking, biking and fishing [someone left an old fishing pole in Jen's truck and she gave it to us. We'll take what we can get]. Basically we will be channeling our inner redneck.

We'll let you know how everything turns out!

Tour De Whitefish

Hey everyone,

I didn't really realize how bad the sound quality in a few of the clips was because of the wind, so sorry about that - as Andrea mentions we were hoping for a nice sunny day but apparently that wasn't in the cards. Outside of that, enjoy the video and feel free to leave us comments, we'd love to hear from you!

Our First Video/ Day in Whitefish MT.

Hello from Whitefish! It's our first day here and as promised we are posting videos and keeping in touch. 

P.S. you'll have to forgive my awkwardness and low production quality - things will get better, I promise!

Not A Moment Too Soon

It has been really hard saying goodbye to everyone over the last few days! Thank you to everyone who came to our going away party! It is always nice to see everyone together and hang out [even if it is to say goodbye].

That being said, I cannot wait to escape the heat and allergies that I experience here. [As I write this my nose is stuffy because of allergies and I am wheezing because of the putrid Sacramento "air"]. Roseville has not been oh so good for my body. It will be nice to actually be able to be outside and enjoy spring [and summer, for that matter].

It is still sad to leave family and friends [clearly I am indecisive about how I feel]. We will come back often to visit! Know that you are in our hearts and thoughts and we will do our best to stay in touch with everyone.

[This is all assuming we will be gone for more than a few weeks ;)]
