We finally have one!

Well we finally have a blog and I am definitely going to try to keep it updated for everyone to see what we are up to. Well for those who we can't always talk to Joseph and I have moved in with his parents. We have been living here since April and it's going good. We are trying to save money to buy a condo here in Southern California so it was very nice of his parents to let us live with them for FREE! We live upstairs and have two bedrooms and a bathroom...did i mention this was all FREE!? We will have enough money saved to afford a down payment on a condo by January. I love my in-laws for letting us stay with them but I cannot wait to get back to living on our own.

Next, I have finally graduated with my Bachelor's in Liberal Studies. I cannot believe that it only took my four years. Now I am applying to Chapman University to work on my teaching credential and my Masters in Education with an emphasis in reading. My ultimate goal after teaching is to be a reading specialist. I think that Joseph and I are so lucky because my parents have offered to pay for my Graduate work. They say it's my "graduation present". So that is very exciting. I'm still working at Fairmont and this summer I am the lifeguard at the school pool. Just let me tell you that getting certified for being a lifeguard is exhausting especially if you never were in waterpolo or swimming in high school. But I made it through. Yay!

Joseph recently started working for my family at Shinoda's in January. It is extremely nice to have him working there instead of the air freshener company he was working for before. Plus Joseph is enjoying this job way more then his last one. And he is learning a lot about running a business which is what he ultimately wants to do. So hopefully this will inspire him to take his college education more seriously.

Well that is what we have been up to this year so keep looking for more updates.
