PANTS:
We arrived in California Thursday, September 15th at 10pm. We both had interviews the next day at 2pm and both got the jobs. Dustin now works at Vitners Inn as a concierge and I work as a hostess at John Ash & Co right next door. Yay! I, having lost a few pounds in the last 2 years, had thrown out all my old slacks because they were too large for me so this required me to go look for some new pants. Dustin needed some as well as some more dress shirts since both our jobs require a business attire look. Luckily I don't have to wear a uniform shirt like I did while working at Applebees or Tucanos or other catering events. I get to wear slacks, dresses, skirts. As long as they are appropriate and clean. Which I am modest (:D), and I am very clean. I am standing a lot though and my feet kill me by the end of my shift.
Dustin is loving his job. He says there is a lot to remember and not ever living in California, he is having to learn fast at where things are and where he should recommend people to go. But he is good at that. So needless to say we are both enjoying our jobs and the perks that come with them.
PICTURES:
Two Saturdays ago, two days after we moved in, we shot a photo shoot of senior pictures of a girl in our ward. She was very cute and fun and we got a lot of great pictures. Hopefully we will get a lot more photo opportunities in the future. Especially since people pay a lot more out here for photos. Dustin might actually be shooting an event for our head boss that is the general manager over Vitners and John Ash. $$$
PAINT:
We are living with my parents temporarily until Dustin finds a better opportunity. As he becomes closer with Percy, our GM, as well as some of the other top dogs in the company, he is hoping for something to open up through them. Once that happens then we will be able to afford our own place hopefully. But for now, we are occupying my parents guest room/laundry room and are quite at home. It is my old room that I lived in and the last time I lived in the room I was in high school, and in high school... I was very, um dark and angry to say the least haha. So my room has been a dark painted color since. When moving in the was the first thing to be changed. I painted it a very light beige color and it brightened the room right up. Much happier. I have made our room feel like ours and with all our own furniture and stuff.
