"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
So, I remember meeting mark over a year ago, and when I asked him about himself, he said he had been playing college basketball in Walla Walla for the past 2 years. I remember thinking to myself, "Walla Walla.. huh? Is that even in the united states?" For those of you who dont know, I am not too hot when it comes to geography. Anyways long story short, I am now an OFFICIAL RESIDENT of Walla Walla Washington. Mark and I found a great house to live in. (really cute on the inside.. i'll post pictures later). Its super cheap and allows us to have baby rizzo inside ;). Its nice hardwood floors, new cabinents.. small, but nice! the best part is, last weekend we loaded up a UHaul in idaho falls (courtesy of my AMAZING family.. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!) and drove it 9 HOURS to walla walla full of our BED couches and DECORATIONS! My orange curtains, picture frames, plates, flowers, ect. It finally feels like HOME. (sort of) I have a FABULOUS job. I am the Productions Assistant at Walla Walla Clothing Company. We sell amazing clothes, great denim, True Religion, Citizens, Sevens, Joes, Rich & Skinny, Rock & Republic, AG, Current Elliot, ect. Awesome tops and dresses, Bailey 44, Hale Bob, BCBG, Michael Stars, Splendid, Three Dot, Fifteen-Twenty, ect. and LOADS of cute jewelry! (the best part is.. i get 50% off.. i feel pretty stylin these days!!) Anyways, I get paid great, and get 40 hours a week AND i dont have to work sunday/mondays. I get to call the vendors to order merchendise, open boxes, put in PO's, and shop with customers all day. Its an awesome job. Mark is now the "Adavantage Point Learning Regional Manager" for A+ Advantage Point Learning. His job is looking very promising. Im pretty proud of him :) He is also the Assistant Basektball Coach at his old college. :) Im pretty pumped to get to sit at all the games and watch him in action. I miss my family SO SO much. And I dont know hardly anyone here, BUT I do work with a couple really nice girls, and we got invited to go to sunday dinner at a couples house tomorrow... It was a struggle at first, I wanted to move back to Idaho SO SO bad. But our big news is.. were staying here. I know your all so dissapointed that im not coming home.. I am too... :(. But, like the quote at the beginning of this post says, You will be more dissapointed by the things you DIDN'T do than the ones you did. This is an adventure for Mark and I. We are excited at the possibilities we have in our future. :) I have TONS to blog about, our bear lake trip, pics of our new house, my NEW BLONDE HAIR! (YES IM BLONDE AGAIN!!! YAAY!) ect. But... as you can tell, i have not been in the blogging mood lately. Hopefully more soon? Love you all :) Happy September! xoxoxo. p.s. i just have to throw this in here, for the record. I have the most amazing husband in the world. Somedays I am so so undeserving of him. But he is always patient, kind, and thoughtful. He picks up, and does dishes, and cleans, and puts up with my whining beautifully. I love him and am way way more blessed than I deserve. Lucky Me :)
