I'm trying to convince him he should dress like this more often because I think he looks spiffy!
And here is his work "uniform" aka black pants and a white polo with SECURITY on the back, and the company logo on the front. Today is his first day, and he's work 12 hours to get his training over and done with... they REALLY need people, so they want him to work as soon as possible. The nice thing is that he's working at the mall across the interstate from us, so it's like a 2 minute drive... and he could ride his bike to work if he really wanted to. Oh yeah, ignore the hungover, high, not so happy look on his face... today was opening season of deer hunting (with a bow), so he woke up EARLY to hunt, came home and took a nap, then went to work... he's really just tired in the picture, not hungover, high or anything like that. :)
Jason got his pants yesterday, and they weren't hemmed at all, so the ones he's wearing today are safety pinned for now. I decided I needed to learn how to hem pants, so I searched online, and found a video on youtube showing how to hem pants... and TADA! I can do it! This is my wonderful hemming job. For my first ever time doing it, I think I did pretty darn well. The entire time I was doing it, I was just thinking about how Gramma would be so proud to know I learned how to hem pants. :) I guess tonight I'll do his other pants.
More new things for us. Last night we bought the fridge on the far right for $100. It's a year old, and the only thing wrong is it is missing one of the bottom drawers (and I think another shelf), but for $100, it was REALLY hard to pass up, so we got it because the other fridge (next to the freezer there) just wasn't cutting it. There's a freezer in the top part of that little fridge, so you can imagine how small the fridge part is. The night before last we bought that chest freezer (in anticipation for a deer being killed soon). :) Craigslist is our absolute favorite place to get things!
Our other find from Craigslist, but we got these like the second day we were here... our washer and dryer. They work VERY well, and they were only a year old too, so they should last us awhile.
And for good measure, here is our living room. I know, it's kind of messy right now, but it gives you an idea of the size and whatnot. You can see our new recliners which are VERY comfy, and the futon on the right. The tv is GREAT being on the wall, and doesn't seem so huge now that it's not in such a small apartment. I still need to get an audio pier for below the tv to put all the boxes on (dish box, vcr/dvd, Wii, etc), but we're getting there. By the way, see Taco sitting on the carpet there?? Yeah, that's how small he is in this house! Haha
That's about it for now. I've been applying left and right for government jobs all over the area, but of course those take awhile to hear back from... so it goes. I'm hoping to get a retail job or something to hold over for now... time to get out and apply for those! :)

You love craigslist because you live in a place that does a lot of that sort of trading. Out here in the desert we still have to travel an hour to a town that has listings...
