Yes we are still alive

Well after the moving and the whole job situation we are still alive. Thank heavens!!!! LOL
No Brandon really likes his new job and we are loving our new place. We have been so blessed in our lives lately. We have very supportive families who are willing to help with anything. We love and thank them.
Well I ( Ruth) am still jobless and I am looking really hard to find a job. This past week I have had my hands full watching Kim Conrads kids. Kim is Brandon's aunt. I have heard that they are really energetic and they are but I thought at first that I couldn't handle them. But I could. Lol
They are now sleeping over and they are loving our new place as much as we are.

So...... Brandon went on his very first business trips last week. He went to Blanding Utah for two days. He loved it. Made him feel really important. HE IS LOVING HIS NEW JOB. (Though I do have to say that he does work some strange hours.) Anyway he gets to go to Hawaii and Alaska this summer and he is really excited. Funny story about strange hours, Brandon was at work and didn't know when he would need me to go pick him up so I just went at the time that I usually go to pick him up at. Well when I got there he wasn't ready and he told me that he wouldn't be ready for about two more hours. So I went back home and waited till about 8:30 and then went to go pick him up again. Well me thinking that he was done didn't take a book with me and when I got there at his work I asked him if he was done and he said that he wasn't and that he would need a few more hours. So I stayed with him till about 12:00 that night at his work. It was the longest night of my life. But I still love him. And very happy that he has a job. :)

We are holding a house warming party this Saturday and I am hoping that it goes well. I have never held one before and so I am nervous. I am sure that I will do well though. :)

Anyway I can't think of anything else so just stay tuned till next time and I hope that you enjoy this post.
Pictures to come!! :)

We're Coming Along

It's been an eventful last couple weeks. We are finally moved into our new place and are loving it. It's quite the upgrade from our last place, especially the neighborhood. I, Brandon, have been keeping busy with the new job. I absolutely love it, and the people I work with are awesome! I recently had the opportunity to go on my first business trip. Wasn't anything too fancy, but I went down to Blanding, UT where Eagle Air Med originated. They have an airport down there that we had to set up some video conferencing equipment and establish a virtual connection to our corporate office here in South Jordan. It was fun, but quite a boring drive. Although it was my first time going to Eastern Utah, so seeing Moab was pretty cool. As for Ruth she's had it pretty tough, she was informed a few days ago that she was being let go from her job due to cut backs in the company. She hasn't had a whole lot of luck with jobs in the past, so now we're back on the prowl looking for a new job for her so she won't go crazy being at home haha. Until then we're chugging along making the best of our new life.

We finally started making headway on our apartment. We've finished a few rooms and in hopes to get the rest done in the coming days. We didn't realize how much stuff we actually had haha.

We love you all and hope to post again soon!
