So a few days after we got back from our trip to Iowa, Darren's internship told him they didn't have enough work to keep him on! Wait, what!? So we came up with a Plan B which is to get Darren back in school. Luckily he was able to sign up for classes that he needed. After the school thing was taken care of, we had to get out of our contract at the apartments in SLC. Which they did as long as we payed for the month of September! Oh well, it's better than nothing. Step 3 was to find a place in Rexburg. This time around, we decided to go for a cheaper place. That way Darren won't have to work so much and we can start getting our savings into gear. So with the mind set of $575, we ventured to Rexburg to look for our next home. We had been searching the internet before we went and had a pretty good idea of what we were loooking for. Well, we found a pretty great place. Its small and has NO storage, but they are putting in new carpet days before we get there, it has a laundry ROOM, and granite counter tops. Ohhh lala. Other pluses are that it is on the bottom floor, the complex has their own small playground and is located next to a big park (Smith Park) and next to our DR's office, the WIC building and Wal Mart. No more driving through ALL the stops signs and lights in Rexburg! Haha.
Well these past few days we've been packing, packing, packing! We are able to move into our new apartment on the 2nd. A day before Kaiden's birthday! Darren has some odd jobs here in SLC still so he will probably head back here after we get moved in and be back before his school starts on the 9th!
Also we found out today that Darren has his old booting job back! How awesome is that!? Even though we've been put in a pretty crappy situation, it's so great to see all the blessings the Lord has been giving us!!
So I'm thinking you are all caught up. Well mostly anyways! ; )
