I know it has been a little while since my last post. So, heres the update so far. We have moved into our new apartment last friday. We really like it. It is in a good neighborhood in the good part of town. We went to church last sunday and the pastor gave us a air mattress and a pad to use since we were sleeping on the floor until we could find our own beds. The pastor also gave us two chairs and a table. They are in good quality and pretty nice. Then the next day, another member of the church gave us a microwave, and gave me a queen-sized mattress and boxspring with sheets, and a dresser. I was thinking to myself that this week I was going to the store and get some more pairs of scrubs, but the God provided me with two free pairs. My boss gave me two pairs of official work scrubs that have the office logo on them. SO now, I have almost enough scrubs to get me through 2 weeks of work. That way, I don't have to do laundry every week after only working three days. We had to wait until wednesday to get our mailbox key so I could pick up my debit card from the new bank account I opened. So yesterday, Graham and I went to Fred Meyer and went shopping. I got mixing bowls with lids(which I am excited about!), cookie sheets, other small kitchen things, plus- we were able to get groceries to fill up our cabinets. Oh, and speaking of cabinets, There are some many cabinets in the kitchen that I am actually having a hard time figuring out where I want to put everything. I was able to go back today and find a few more things on sale and some even on clearance. I found some really cute dish towels a small tv tray, and a small bath rug all on sale. I stopped by Safeway and found a toaster, and ice trays on sale too!
On sunday, we stopped by a thrift store and found a nice older tube tv for a good price so we got that. But we are looking for a flat screen but that will be after we get more on our feet.
We are still need of a couch, tables, lamps, and other furniture, but we are slowly getting that. We are in no real rush.
We did get our internet, cable, and home phone service up and running on Monday so it is nice. I found a home phone at a thrift store a few weeks so we are able to take advance of all the services.
 At the same thrift store Graham found a working Nintendo 64 with a remote, and a Playstation with a remote. Then, he found a game for the playstation at another store we checked out. He was really excited!

Last week, we went hiking along the Turnagain trail. It was really nice day, and it was a nice hike. We got some really good views of the mountains and the ocean. It is called Turnagain because it is where Capt Cook the explorer tried to get through, but had to "turnagain," to turn around.

I started working nights on sunday. It is an adjustment, but I actually kinda like it. It slows down and there are not people and animals running around like crazy. It is kinda nice. I can practice all my techniques for the procedures and not feel like I am in a rush. I can learn from the doctors and the other technique in a more relaxed way. I am not stuck on nights for the rest of my work career with this office.

Graham was able to start working at Office Depot today after a long wait on a background check was delayed in getting here. So, he is pleased to be working again and be able to have a paycheck again.

I think that is everything, so heres a few pictures
