We've been here for about a week and a half and today we finally got Internet so I'll update you guys on our new life! Jeremy started his new job on Halloween and he saids its been boring so far. They have to train him on safety and explain how everything works. It sounds scary to me! He said theres some kind of gas they use for something but if you breath it, it'll knock you right out. So he has to wear some kind of monitor thing that lets him know if any is in the air. They have told him all these horror stories about accidents that had happened and I think it scares me more than him! I think that's just how it goes the first few weeks they have to make sure everyone understands safety procedures before they let him do anything. Mostly all Jeremy has done this week is sit in a classroom and get lectures and watch training videos. Hes looking forward to actually looking around the plant and doing something more physical.
Were the worst parents ever because we kinda skipped Halloween. Opps! My kids didn't have any costumes and we were still getting settled so we just decided they didn't need the candy. I'm pretty sure that there will be another Halloween next year too.
When we first got to our apartment we didn't unpack right away. We were in total shock. Our apartment is SO small. Its way smaller than the one we were in to before and it was filthily. The area its in is kinda ghetto too. Its funny because theres a sign out front that saids "Shady Lane Apartments" and it deffently fits this place. Me and Jeremy just looked at each other and said what did we do! We left our family, our home and Jeremy's job for this?! But after about an hour we recovered and started to unpack. Matt and Erin drove out of they're way to come help us unload. We are so thankful they came and helped us. My brother came over and helped after he got off work too. Having family over totally saved us mentally.
We are pretty settled in now and are more comfortable. Our apartment is small but now it feels like home. Durning the day I've been babysitting my brother's kids Chaz and Kenzi and between them and Masen and Alayna I stay pretty busy. Jeremy comes home at lunch so thats fun. His work is only like 5 minutes away. After a few months he'll be making more money and we can start looking at houses. They re having a company party in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to getting out and meeting more people. We're not sure what Jeremy's schedule is going to be like but we want to try and make it back to Joe City for Thanksgiving.
Everything is going well and we know we made a good choice by moving up here and starting our new life as New Mexicans!
Oh and I've lost six pounds since we left Joe City! Probably from stress but eather way Joseph City you can keep those pounds! :D
