Idahomies

Darren and I are now Idahomies! (Thanks Britt for that new word :)) Darren started his new job at Taylor's Crossing Public Charter School last Monday, and was a bachelor for a week while I stayed back in California getting everything worked out with our apartment and school. We moved out of our Turlock apartment the day before he left for Idaho, and had everything in my grandparents' garage in Hughson for a week.

Thursday afternoon Darren's dad came down with a moving truck and we packed everything up and headed up to their house for the night. We drove away bright and early Friday morning and rolled into Arimo (where Darren's grandparents live) about 10pm. It was so nice to see Darren again, and so nice to be done driving! I tell ya, Nevada is a useless state. It seems to never end.

Saturday morning we headed up to our new apartment in Ammon, and moved everything in. Darren did an excellent job apartment searching and I love our new apartment. I'll love it even more when it's all unpacked (we're still in boxes) and when we have a bed and washer and dryer.

It's been an adjustment the past few days and it's so stinkin' cold, but I feel like this will be a good experience for both of us. Darren is loving his job and I'm so glad he found it.

I'll make sure to post pictures as soon as everything get's put together :)

  4. I have to give credit where credit is due...one of my friends from high school passed the Idahomies term on to me, so I can't claim it...But I'm proud to use it and, more importantly, BE it! :D
