up since 5 am

the pics are from regis university where jon is going this fall






the last few days have been overly long. jon and i have been getting up around five, leaving for work by six so that we can get to the stores before the take down crew loads up all the plants. our job is to do the final inventory and then help the road crew load up the flowers. today we went down to winona, a gorgeous place here in the state of minnesota, and i slept almost the whole way. poor jon, he is prety worn out. yesterday we put in an 11 hour day today was only a 10.

good news, last weekend we flew to colorado to search for appartments. we had appointments for two that were near regis university and we decided on the one right across the street from regis. that will save on gas money, making me the main driver seeing as i have to drive 5 minutes or so into downtown denver to my college. the hopes are to save money that way. other good things, both college cost are covered by loans and grants (being married has it ups with school stuff too, and people say to wait). we also have an outline of what our finances will look like for the next year. its nice to have that done. another thing, jon and i went to wicks funiture and looked at some sofas, they were crazily overpriced for a closing sale, so we took his mothers advice and went to ashleys furniture. at that store we landed ourselfves a great clearance sale set. we got the couch, love seat, coffee and end tables, and a rug for less than the sofa and love seat cost at wicks. there is also no interest for a year. that is a nice thing: we should have it paid off within the next few weeks.
