Things get better I just stress to much.

Well this past week has been up and down. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get Christy into Little Valley elementary. I went and met with the principal today and he gave his ok! Yea one of my worries gone. But then the secretary informed me that Christy was missing her second Hep A shot! And she had to have it done before she can start school. So then comes the task of finding someone to give it to her. Along with that comes the fact that yesterday I was informed that Christy and I have no medical coverage here in Southern Utah. David is going to try and fix this for me, but that could take a while since he is really busy and in the middle of the ocean. Luckily Christy's old pediatrician had a cancellation today. So Crystal being the superstar that she is took Christy, Michael and Kayley to that appointment. Now Christy can go to school on Thursday.
Things at the rental are looking good. The locks (well the storage lock at least) are fixed. We got the internet hooked up and things are mostly put away.
Monday I go to orientation for IHC and Tuesday I start working. I am both excited and sad. It has been so nice to not have to work the past little while. It will be hard to give up all that freedom, but it will also save me from a tremendous amount of boredom I know I would have.
I got my hair done today :) And I love it. Lucinda highlighted it, trimmed it and put in some colored extensions for me. I love the way it turned out!!! Pictures included below.
David is doing good. He is studying hard for his upcoming rank advancement test. We are hoping he will make E5 before he comes home. This past week a water heater in one of the store rooms was leaking and David was in charge of the clean up crew. Also they had a RAS (replenishment at Sea) which keeps David very busy. He is one of the certified fork lift drivers. We email daily and he calls on Sundays. We still don't know where we will be stationed when David comes home. I am crossing my fingers for Hawaii :)
Crystal is a great roommate! She will be watching Christy while I am at work. Lucky her!
Well here's to things looking better and better.....
The Kitchen in the rental. The corner cupboard space works nicely for all my jars.

Another view of the kitchen with Christy going out the back door. We have a little patio in the back. The back door is the main door we use.

The living room. It has one nice bright cheery big window.

Looking down from the top of the stairs, if you come over beware of the loose railing.
Crystals bedroom. Her and Christys rooms are both pretty small. Crystals bed is about all that fits in her room. Looking from the top of the stairs into Christys room. The bathroom Christy and Crystal share is on the left with the sink out in the hall. Christy got a new bedspread with her pennies from Heaven.
This is my room. My bed is up on food storage boxes. There is no frame for my bed and I like it off the floor. I love the plant shelf in the window. I have a pretty big closet and there is a bathroom in my room as well. We also have a half bath downstairs and a storage closet under the stairs. Its pretty good for the six months we will be here.

Ignore the stupid look on my face.... but these are the pictures of my hair. I love it :)

Your house looks cute!! I love the large window sills, it's fun for decorating when you have those. I would have gone with orange in your hair, but whatever floats your boat! :)

I love your hair. I like the things you have done with the rental so far. You can take anyplace and turn it into a nice and cozy home.

Yay for getting your hair done! That and pedicures are my favorite ways to "pamper" myself.
