Well, we're here in Arizona. And not a moment too soon from what I hear. Snow in Utah, an inch on the benches. . .It was 86 degrees and sunny when I heard about the snow. Yep, here for good reason!
We went to church today and they split the ward. Now instead of 800 members in one ward, we'll have around 400. Church starts at 2pm. Yuck!
Tomorrow, the job search starts. I'm going to create a new blog to track my Job Search process so you'll have to take a look at that.
Life is good. Arizona is pretty good so far.

Last Night in Utah
Well, here it is. . .Our last night in Utah.
We spent the day packing, packing, and also packing. I'll be taking down the crib in a few moments.
Diana (Monica's mom) just left to AZ carrying some precious cargo for us. She's taking Lincoln down ahead of time to make it easier for us on the move. She left about 3 minutes ago and we already miss our little Linc. :( All that much more anxious to get out of here as fast as we can.
The annoying thing about moving is that until you actually have the truck and are loading stuff into it, it doesn't feel like you've made much progress. Seriously, we've spent the whole day boxing stuff up and now at 9:30pm it doesn't look like we did much. In fact, our apt looks uber freaking messier than it ever has been. Monica has had to keep herself calm by drinking Diet Coke with Lime all day. I know, for most people caffeine would only make it worse. Not Monica. It's a little creepy but it really do the trick.
So tomorrow will be the big day. The party starts with me going to pick up the truck at 8:30 and then it's non stop fun till we have it all done. Hey that rhymed. . . Then it's off to the land of perpetual sun and warmth. Good thing too. It was a whopping 30 some odd degrees this morning. I'm totally not ok with that kind of freakish cold weather. Yep, I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm a cold weather pansy. Give me hot or nothin!
Next post will be from AZ. And I'll probably be wearing swim trunks. . .or nothing at all.

Unemployed
So, Me and Monica are unemployed now. Our last day was on Friday. Now, it's down to crunch time so this will be a short post. Moving is fun. A tip to future movers as many of you will probably be. Don't get a bunch of randomly sized boxes to put stuff in when you move! I started early and got paper boxes. You know when you go to OfficeMax and they have the reams of paper in those boxes? perfect and sturdy boxes they are. Get a whole bunch of them and they will fit nicely into any moving truck. That gives you more room to work with.
Anyhow, so we are 2 days away from our big adventure move to Arizona. The next two days are filled with tons of work. . . funny that my post is called: Unemployed.
Next post will likely be in Arizona. Good thing. It's getting cold here in Utah! Hence why we are moving to AZ!

The first one. . .
So, we're about to embark on a new adventure as a little fam-damily so I thought, why not start out with a new blog site. I figure that eventually, I'll end up creating our own family website. That's when I become a rock star web designer. (I just have to take classes and buy a better computer and sell my left lung to science so I can buy some web designing software.) Or maybe I'll just buy a bunch of burritos instead. At any rate for now, I'm going to use this pre fabricated template that I think is the best of the 6 or 8 Blogger offers you.
We, Shawn, Monica, and Lincoln are about to uproot and move our happy little selves down to sunny, warm. . .er. . .hot. . .er. . .lava like land of Phoenix, Arizona, specifically Mesa, AZ. We'll be staying with Monica's parents down there until we find ourselves some jobs. We could be cooks in the local Chuck a Rama! Hopefully it won't come to that. Please don't let it come to that! Once we're all employed and stuff, we'll get our own diggs that y'all can come and hang out in when you decide to visit us in Arizona. . .in the winter. . .when you're freezing your butts off and we are enjoying shorts and t-shirt weather. Oh yeah!
So, this is the first of perhaps many blogs you'll enjoy from us. I hope to have some spinoffs, including some other web related projects I am in the works with. One of them I think all of you in Utah will rather enjoy. Stay tuned on that. . .
Anyhow, enjoy and stay in touch!
