Well we are finally moved into our new place in Spring Valley. Of course San Diego decided to have a heat wave the weekend we were moving so that made it no fun! I'm so happy to be done with our old house, it was so dark and had so many problems with it. Our new place is bright, has great views and is in a more country setting which makes it nice. I can't wait to get a glider and sit out on the front porch with a cold drink in my hand!
There is still a lot of unpacking to do, we are working on it day by day but it is getting there. Of course there are the few odd things that I can't seem to locate like my phone charger and the little metal things that go in the bookshelf to hold the shelves up. We were missing the printer cable but found that today so I do have hope of finding the other things.
On the friend front I have started a San Diego Navy Wives Meet up group on facebook. It seems like a lot of wives are bored, lonely and don't have any friends, especially those of us with no children. I'm trying to set up some activity every week so that we can hang out and get to know one another. It should be interesting because our first meet up is on Saturday and I'm not sure if anyone will show up so we will see.
On the work front, school starts in about two weeks for the district that I have been working for the past two years. There is still a chance that I may get picked up for a classroom but we will see. Tutoring is also starting to come together so I will be subbing and tutoring for now. Fingers are still crossed for something more permanent even though if I did get a classroom I would be lost at how to set it up since I haven't thought about things like that for a couple years!
On the marriage front, Adam and I have been married for three months now, and it has not all been a honeymoon. I think moving is a stressful time for any relationship and arguing about how to do things is natural so I am glad we are almost settled in! I do remember when we fist moved into a place together that we got into an argument about where his boots would "live", it seems funny to think about it now, I guess we live and learn!

Getting there
We are getting close to moving, I've finally started packing up the house. We got the dining room all packed up yesterday which was a challenge with all the breakable things. I'm hoping to get my curio cabinet done today which is also breakable stuff! I think the kitchen will be the hardest part, but I'm waiting on that since I have more cooking to do before we move.
I've also started a Navy wife group meet up on facebook, I'm hoping it will be a group that will meet up every week to hang out and have fun together. I probably should have waited until we moved before setting it up but oh well. San Diego is a hard place to make friends so hopefully this group will help some people.
That's all for today, off to more packing!

Updates
Today was my second trip going to the commissary by myself. The first time I went I have to admit I was a bit freaked out but this time I was prepared. I did learn that I should never go to the commissary the Sunday after payday because it is so busy! Today is the start date of my benefits so this week I will be calling to make Dr. and Dentist appointments which will be good since I haven't been to either one in a couple years.
On the job front I have been applying everywhere since school got out a week and a half ago. I did have an interview last week for a Kindergarten class but I didn't get the job. I think they really needed an experience teacher. It was however good experience as far as interviews go. I really need to decide what my teaching philosophy is, which I think will come in time. The only thing to do now is push on and keep my fingers crossed for a job opportunity.
On another note, we have found a place to move into and will be moving in on the 20th. We are very excited to get out of El Cajon and move to a hill in Spring Valley. Our new place has a great view all the way to the city and it gets ocean breezes! It has two bedrooms, central AC and heat, a fireplace, a dishwasher and a garage, which is something Adam has always wanted. My only concern is that I'm not sure if it has enough kitchen storage but we will find out! I'll post pictures once we are all moved in.
