Days 164- 168

Happy Sunday everyone! Ahh, so much to catch up on!

Good news... WE GOT THE HOUSE WE WANTED!!!!!
It is SUCH a relief to have that all figured out and squared away now. I know I haven't kept up with my blogging as frequently as I used to- there's just so much going on now! It's exciting though! Anyways....

Wednesday night, J had liberty so we talked a lot. I told him we got the house we were wanting really badly, and he was super excited to find that out! We started looking at couches and coffee tables and all the good stuff! He told me about his day, and they had range for 4 hours and accident investigation for another 4. They also had PT in the morning, so he was a little tired from the long day. Thursday they had another late night because of their accident investigation class. They had Spanish in the morning and then DUI class in the afternoon. J said during their Spanish class, they were all just practicing arresting each other and giving each other directions in Spanish. When they felt comfortable, they were able to go into the other classroom and take their test.. J passed! I kind of assumed he would because he took Spanish all throughout high school and can actually speak it pretty well to begin with. Later that evening, J told me that the sergeant at his new office emailed them, and told them to text him their current mailing address. We're both pretty interested in what he may be sending- but we think it's an invitation to the welcome BBQ they have for the new cadets-turned- officers. On Friday, the seniors had a pool session in the morning, then vehicle code in the afternoon. They were released early, so J was able to make the drive home earlier and get here faster! The rest of the evening, we all hung out and relaxed and scarfed down some delicious pizza. 

Saturday was a SUPER busy day. J and I woke up super early and got a run in together, then got ready for the day. We went to so many furniture stores to look at a sofa, coffee table and everything else we need for our new home. I must say- and I'm sorry if I offend anyone- but it's really annoying when you're just walking around and trying out sofas and constantly being stalked in the process. I mean- can't a couple and a mom just try out some sofas in peace!? Anyways, we found the sofa we want and are super excited to add it to our place! We went to Costco afterwards and got a really cute matching carpet and mat for the backyard. Today was a pretty lazy day. J and I woke up late, then headed out to breakfast with my parents. J got this HUGE skillet, and he didn't even finish all of it! That's pretty shocking considering J ALWAYS finishes his food haha. After breakfast, I helped J fold his laundry and pack up, then he headed back to Sac, and I went to work. When J got back, he went into IKEA to look at some other essentials, and we added it to our "to buy for our home" list. 

Time sure has been flying this past month, and now we only have 4 weeks left! Everything is slowly starting to fall into place and I feel so fortunate about that. Everyone- please keep your fingers crossed that I hear back from some of the hospitals I've been applying to- mama needs a new job in the new city haha!!! Only 18 academy days left you guys!!!!!

168 days down.. 26 to go!!
