WWF


What's great about this is, as a child I often confused the two organizations.

Mostly, it is nice to work for the rich.


Aaron has gotten two jobs. We are finding that the rich are nice to work for. The first job he received was valet and bell-hop at the Hotel Teatro. The second job is a serving position at the Denver Country Club on Speer Boulevard. Both jobs offer benefits which is a nice change, and he has been able to earn a substantial amount of money even during training. In one week, he has met Bill Murray and Spike Lee. He also gets to drive patrons around in a ridiculously cushy Escalade.

News Flash: Aaron has joined this century. He now has a cell phone... a novel idea right? I got a free phone with my plan, and now he has one. So yay for that archaic time to be finished.

I have been nanny-ing again. I have a Wednesday family which has two adorable boys and I am going to work full-time over the summer for a family of 3 kids. The exciting part of this equation: No diapers! There is a 5 yr old girl, and a set of 7 yr old boy/girl twins. They are very athletic, so I am hoping to get in shape playing with them. We are going to be swimming a lot.

Email me if you would like our new address in Lakewood CO. I found out today I get a discount on my car insurance now that I live in Lakewood. It's the little things, right?

Many updates to follow once we are finished with finals.

A Real Live House.








Hi all,
Aaron and I are on the upswing. Exciting things are beginning to happen. We have found a house to rent which we are very happy to move into this Thursday.

We are being reintroduced to our long-lost friends: the dishwasher, garage, washing machine and the dryer. "Oh, how we've missed you over the years." Now we will be able to promote our pocket change to higher purpose over merely washing our socks, such as parking meter devotion.

We will be easy to find. Think--big pink castle. We are now going to be living a block west of Casa Bonita. Now Aaron (Cartman) may freely go whenever he desires. There will be no need to drag the wife along for childhood nostalgia which she does not share. Right?

Foreign Films

For the latest update: Aaron and I are still job/apartment hunting while attending classes, but we have some very good leads. Amongst all the hustle, I have been renting a few foreign films lately. They have been making me smile. It's been a nice escape from feeling displaced.

New Beginnings

Too busy to create any large posts, but this pretty much sums up how
we have been trying to see the world lately.

Sacked...
















Following my two week notice at the restaurant, Aaron was promptly fired for no substantial reason from the same place. Now we have to shift the focus from finding an apartment (which we had done and had to back out due to the "no employment" thing), to finding new jobs. We cannot get a place until we prove that we have jobs.

We were hoping not to stay at Aaron's family's house for more than a couple of weeks...We own a cat, they own a dog...

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We have had a hell of a week. We are trying to remain positive under major adversity. To top it off today, we got a $250 school zone speeding ticket because we were so stressed out and preoccupied.

The best thing we have going for us right now is that we are doing well in school and have families and friends who love us. It has definitely made Aaron and I even closer.

Homeless @ Mid-terms


















We are out of our old apartment!
Time for change.
We are also smack-dab in the middle of heavy school work and testing.
It has been crazy busy around here trying to find a new home. Aaron and I have seen each other for about two hours in the past two days.
I happen to be searching for a new job as well.
