Wow it's been a while!! A lot has happened in the past 2 1/2 months! First of all, we moved into our new place! It is so awesome. It is just across the street from our old apartment but it's like a whole different world over here. It's much bigger and nicer than our old place and it has an attached garage! Which is absolutely amazing! We are pretty settled in and are now just working on the little things like decorating. We are hoping to paint a few of the rooms soon. And Gidget is loving it cause we have a nice large patio out front where she can lay out in the sun, which I think is one of her favorite things. There is also an orange tree out there! The oranges are delicious! It is so nice having a place that feels much more like a home.
Next up...Brian got a motorcycle. 2001 Honda Shadow. It's his new love. He is very excited about it. Still need to take some pics of it and then I will put some up.
And then...my good ol' nissan sentra bit the dust. Basically the transmission went out so we were pretty much forced to get a new car since it would cost more to repair the transmission than the car was actually worth. So we shopped around a bit and found a great car. It's a 2007 Toyota Camry. I love it!! It is an awesome car. It's so nice to drive, the interior is great and it has really low mileage. It's so nice having a reliable car. No more worrying if it is going to start or not!
Work is going well for both of us. I am working the night shift now. It's taken a little getting used to but I have adjusted pretty well. I think Brian has too :) Luckily our new bedroom stays pretty dark during the day so it is pretty easy to get to sleep when I get home in the morning. Brian's work is pretty much the same. He works 4 days a week (Tuesday - Friday) but is on call the rest of the time for the most part. He doesn't get called in all that often which is nice. He is the "Lead" in the radiology department so he is pretty much in charge :) It's hard to believe he has been working there 5 years! Crazy!
Speaking of 5 years....Gidget is going to be 5 years old next month!! Wow! She is deffinately not a puppy anymore! Although sometimes she acts like one. But she is a much more mellow dog than she used to be. She just had her teeth cleaned, a tooth pulled, and her nails clipped the other day. So she has been a little out of it the past 2 days because of the sedation and being in a little pain. She is much better today though. She is outside laying in the sun as we speak. :)
So things are good here in Ventura. It's starting to get a little cooler in the evenings but still somewhat warm during the day. I'm excited that it's getting into fall and will soon be winter!! Well, I need to take Gidget for a walk, so that's all for now! I will try to get some pictures up soon of our new place. Until next time...
