Work Work Work

So Orion's new job has lots of opportunity for over time. In fact they had a meeting last week where they told everyone who works there that if they work 60 hours in one week onto of all the over time, they will get a $200 bonus. That comes out to a lot of money! Orion is thinking about doing a sixty hour week, he plans on doing five 12 hour days. He currently is working nine hour days because he wants to build our saving account back up/save up for a new car. I want a new couch.

This one looks pretty good. I like the pillows on it and the fact that it looks really comfy. Our current couch is on its last leg. It is falling apart. In fact when you sit on it you start to sink in. We have attempted to offset the sinking in by placing blankets on the couch. We are clearly poor newly weds. Our hope is that we get a couch for Christmas, meaning we buy ourselves a couch for Christmas. SO if you have any tips on good places to get couches I am all ears.

GOOD NEWS!!!

ORION GOT A JOB!!!!! This is the best news that we have gotten in a long time. Poor Orion went almost TWO MONTHS without a job. He was going crazy, but getting really good at his video games. Personally I thought he could do something better with his time. Like make me a cake! Which he did for my birthday on October 29.

Here he is working hard making me an ice cream cake all by himself! How cute is he? I only had to help him frost it because he tried to frost it too early. He took some chunks out of the cake so extra frosting was needed in some areas. All and all it was really good. It was his first time ever making an ice cream cake. He was so proud of himself.

You can kind of tell where there is a chunk missing in the picture, but we fixed that right up. He even wrote Happy Birthday Kayde on it and let me tell you his hand writing is not the best. I think writing on it took most of his time because he was trying so hard to make it look good. He did a great job. What a good guy.

So we had a little party to celebrate my birth on the 30th because my parents took us to Red Lobster on my actual birthday, which by the way was AMAZING! Seriously if you live close to a Red Lobster you should go and get there unlimited shrimp, it like 15 bucks, so worth it! I left with a little aquarium in my stomach. Anyways so we have my little party and enjoy the wonderful cake Orion made. We had decided that if Orion did not have a job at the end of the month, the 31st, we would move to wonderful (or not so wonderful if you ask me) Fresno. It was crunch time. We were pretty sure he was going to get the job offer down in San Luis Obispo, where he currently works now, but we were not sure when it was going to come. So we decided to wait just a couple more days before we moved. Then on November 1st, just one day after our deadline, HE GOT THE CALL. HE GOT THE JOB! It was a miracle!

We don't have move! Life is wonderful! In fact we are thinking about moving to SLO in the near future so Orion does not have to drive 25 minutes to work everyday or drive up and down the grade. I will keep you updated.

Oh Dear

So tonight Orion and I went on a little adventure. Considering Orion has now been jobless for a month, I can't believe it has been that long, he has lots of time on his hands. I spend the day doing my school work because going to school full time online takes a lot of time and effort. At night my eyes feel like that are going to close and never open again because I have strained them so much. Well tonight we decided to get out of the house. I grabbed some change from our change jar on our way out to buy us some ice cream. We got super YUMMY twix ice cream bars, Orion and I's favorite candy bar so when you add ice cream to the mix who can resist?

Then we were on our way to Morro Bay for a night walk on the beach. Orion picked the adventure because he loves taking me to the beach, I am a big chicken when it comes to the dark so he brought a head lamp so it would not be so dark. The real adventure came on our way to the beach. We were just driving along the back rounds talking and enjoying getting out of the house when BAM a dear comes out of NOWHERE!

We almost killed Bambi's mom. It would have been horrible because both our windows were down. Luckily Orion was able to miss the dear by inches! I of course being the chicken I am covered my eyes because I did not want to see us kill Bambi's mom. I am so glad our adventure left all parties alive in the end. On our way home from the beach we saw multiple dead animals in the road. Looks like they were not as lucky as Bambi's mom, who after we almost hit her just slowly walked up the road even though their were more cars coming. Stupid dear.

Halloween!

Orion and I are going to be the big bad wolf and little red ridding hood! I am totally excited!

Life or something like it

It is currently October 11th. There are 18 more days well 17 considering today is basically over till my 21st birthday. There are 20 until the end of the month, also know as Halloween, which is our deadline for moving or staying. Normally I look forward to Halloween with everything inside me. I mean HELLO free candy, what is better than that? I can't really think of much. But this Halloween I wish would just take its time coming. I want to have that yummy FREE candy right now. It would make the thought of the end of the month a little less, but my tummy would probably hate me.

Still no news about whether we are going to move or not. I have a feeling that we are going to move and I have become more and more ok with the idea. In fact I am starting to think that it is a good thing. We will see how long that feeling lasts if we actually move in with my in laws....

Fresno = Death

Well I feel like that sometimes, although it does have a nice temple there so I guess it is not that bad. SO here is the update of what is going on with Orion and I. Last month Orion got laid off, well I guess you can say that, his boss does not have a lot of work coming in so he told Orion that he was no longer needed. But once he got more work and could afford to pay Orion he could come back. Well that was a month ago. Now Orion and I are both jobless in an economy that does not really want to hire :( Ever since we have gotten that news we have been looking for work, mostly Orion because I am going to school full time online and that takes up most of my day, and we have found nothing. Instead of burning through all of our savings from us working like crazy over the summer. I had two jobs and went to school full time while Orion worked full time and did side work, we managed to save up for a new car that we hoped to buy this fall. Instead we are spending that money on paying rent and buying food. We have decided to move to FRESNO with Orion's parents at the end of the month if Orion does not find a new job. :( :( :( :( :( x a billion is how I feel at the moment. But there are more opportunities for jobs out there and we would not have to pay for rent or food.

To be honest it is rather stressful to be us right now, but we know that everything will work out in the end. We are praying and hoping things will work out soon. Actually this lack of money has made Orion and I much closer and more inventive when it comes to food. We are also loving sleeping until we wake up instead of waking up to an alarm. All in all we are pretty happy but stressed.

A Little Secret

I do NOT like girls singers, basically at all. EXCEPT Taylor Swift. I know its a weird secret but I absolutely love her! Another secret I don't like country either except Taylor Swift. I swear I can listen to her all day long. This is currently my favorite song of hers.
