OPD

We're at it again!

Devin is applying for a job at the Ogden, Utah Police Department:)

Which means if he makes it we will be moving!  again..  But back to Devin's mountains and hunting and family of course:) Which will be fabulous!!!!  I am absolutely excited but trying not to show it... or get too excited in case something doesn't work out but! Fabulous news! It is all going according to plan:) 

First step - Apply and get all the info 

CHECK

Second step - Written test

CHECK and PASSED

Third Step - PT test

CHECK AND PASSED(no sweat)(literally...)

Fourth step - Oral Board/Interview

CHECK and PASSED!

They even commented on his nice suit, I guess some showed up in their casual clothes. It was another test, they didn't tell them what to wear they just waited to see what people would do. 

Fifth step-Background Check/Transcripts/Credit check/Driving history/1 more test

The deadline is JAN 4!! 

They have eliminated people throughout and we are down to 58 others that think they have a chance:)  I guess there are 5-8 open slots right now and then they are going to keep a running list for throughout the year to choose people from. Our chances are great! (and now that I think of it we don't know how many got eliminated after the oral board!)

Devin's PRE birthday:)

Need I say more:)

He went and tested out the day he got it!

Cool picture huh! :)

Village Inn with my besties:)

I go up to Utah once a month for drill and while I was up there last Joe, Jake, Emily and me all went out to Village Inn at like 10:00pm :)  It was fun! We got hot chocolate and amazing breakfast. I am thinking we should make it a tradition!

We LOVE hot chocolate.

It was blue and brown day:)

Nothing like breakfast at 10:00 at night.

Spontaneous Camping Trip:)

The weather here is now PERFECT.  So Devin and I decided to go camping!  I worked on Tuesday till about 8 o' clock and we left that night!  

Devin was excited to go night shooting:)  

I stayed in the truck while he was shooting.  The baby can't wear earpro! so... I stayed in where the sound was muffled. I know I'm a worry wart but I'm realizing why most mom's are:)

We slept in the back of the truck!  How terribly romantic huh:)  I love it, That has been on my bucket list for a long time and next time we are taking a air mattress.  I'm not that hardcore and sleeping on just those foam mats... was not so awesome. 

We had to have the flash on for the pictures and it was just too bright... haha so this is what we got!  

Moving!

We moved!  We did love our roach friends... but we figured they needed their space:)   I figure everyone has at least one roach house experience and it just makes you appreciate the roach-less houses all the more!  We actually are keeping a family tradition going too!  Derek and Janel used to live in these same apartments!  And Devin's dad and Michelle I believe and there was someone else.. but we have some heritage here! haha. Plus they have a washer and dryer inside! I feel like royalty:)  The only thing is I don't understand why Arizona doesn't build houses with light fixtures! I realize it's the valley and land of the sun but seriously, our apartment is so dark! and they still put the switches just to throw you off..  We did it all in about a week too, that seems to be our signature thing, moving in the shortest and most surprising time possible!  We did it all in about 2 days, With the help of Michelle and her kids and Andrew and Lanae, Devin's friend and his wife from high school.  I got completely lost trying to drive there for the first time by myself... I ended up in Queen Creek!  the opposite side of the valley... but I made it:)  Thanks to Siri.  And we ordered pizza and it was pretty quick and painless for the most part.

Packin' up!

The moving truck! Yay!

Our old kitchen, it's tiny compared to our new one!

Our new cockroachless kitchen:)

Setting everything up is always fun.

Especially in the dark... Because there are no light fixtures in this place!
