Derek got a job! It is all so sudden! This all just happened so now our plans are about to change! Derek was called, interviewed & offered a position in one shot! It is with the Residence Inn Marriott Downtown that he interned with this summer! He will be the Sales Coordinator! He starts this TUESDAY! So guess who is on the move! We are! It is such a blessing but we are laughing because we expected a little vacation time since unemployment is so prevalent. But obviously we are excited to step up to the plate and join the big leagues! haha.
We haven't officially signed everything but I think we found an apt! I love what I see online and the location is perfect since we only have the 1 car. It's on South Temple in Downtown Salt Lake City! I'm so excited to be in the heart of downtown. The negative is that a lot of our friends in Utah are in Provo/Orem, but this works out perfectly for Derek! He is excited to work with people he knows and honored that they thought of him for this position! They have asked him to commit to 18 months at least. So we know where we will be until July 2011! It brings peace to my nerves! :D
I am sorry to a lot of you that we were hoping to travel and see... swing by and planned on bumping into soon, here on the mainland. Looks like you'll have to bump into us in Utah now. So be sure to contact us when you go to temple square!
We are packing on the layers and buying the coats! While shopping here in CaliA for some boots I heard someone on the next isle say, "OH Those are cute boots!" And her sister said, "ya but it's not like we live in Utah!" haha So I went and checked out those boots! A little more hard core. Yup. Bought em! hahaha Oh boy! My fingers are cold just thinking about it...
I have so many pictures to upload and share! I'm sorry I'm slacking. Derek's graduation photos! Packing! Christmas! Fresno with my parents and New Years with Derek's lovely family in Camarillo. We are here in Camarillo for just a few more days then we will meet my parents in Bakersfield. Derek will head up to Utah with our car. Jocelyn & I will hitch a ride with my parents in Bakersfield to Fresno. Then we will repack and fill a Uhaul to hit the road. We will hopefully find enough to furnish our apt! So if you live in Utah or Fresno and have furniture you're thinking of donating to GoodWill let us know first! or wanting to sale. We have a few things but not all we need. Thanks ;>
See you soon... and
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

3 year honeymoon
we wish you a merry kissmas and a happy root beer
and the closest video taken...
STOP THE KARMA!
today was our last sunday in hawaii. the sand aloha oe to us. i was released from my favorite calling. i have loved this ward, my friends, the relief society, the weather, the experiences! i love the diversity! i love the spirit that is always present.
we have had family here and it has been grand! we have celebrated birthdays and graduations! we have packed and are left with just cleaning. we have given away all our food and sold our last items. we are done here. it's a bittersweet thing. i would make a pro con list to compare but they would both be long and i just dont want to bring all the thoughts to the fore front. we will be staying until the kick us out... because although i am excited to see where our future leads i am holding on the the past to present now!
so, i dont know how it came up, but we were looking for a certain video and it made me want to check out the pictures that i took this day last year. what a difference in jocelyn. what a difference in derek and i. what a fun thing to look at!
i love you 1 and all! thank you for being you. for making my world in hawaii so bright! i will miss you. i look forward to what is next. i will never forget my 3 year honeymoon! derek and i are ready to start our "married life" and grow up.... well, not ready but here it comes!
xoxox god be with you til we meet again.

But Jocelyn was capitalizing on playing with the
nursery toys all to herself because.... NO WORDS NECESSARY!

ONLiNE SAViNGS
Buying something online? Want a coupon?
Want to print off coupons to save money?
THIS IS WHERE YOU GO! http://www.retailmenot.com/
It's worth a try. I was at Old Navy.com and heard my cousin uses
coupon codes to save a lot of money. So I just googled 'old navy
coupon code.' And so I tried it. The coupon said the value had to
be over $100 and the date showed that it was already expired.
I didn't have $100 worth but I tried it anyways. IT WORKED!
I just saved $14!!!
And they have so many printable coupons for food and so on.
I will never be the same! Just wanted to share!
I love being THRiFTY
