Odds and Ins and Updates

First of all we are finally living in our house in Albuquerque, we don't have internet yet (don't tell anyone that I am sitting at the school on the corner on an unsecured network....gasp!)   We are set to close on the house on the 23rd.  Thats the day before Steve starts residency and the day after I get back from Spokane for my Brother Rob's culinary school graduation!  Congrats Rob! He has always been the BEST cook, ever since we were just kiddos! 

Just a little history of our last month.  May 18th we left Hershey....drove 5 days with the family, Steven's parents and sister Olivia across the country.  Drove mostly with the girls in the car (Olivia, Jenny, Elizabeth and myself) Did  a lot of wedding planning with a crabby bride to be =)  Ahhhhh to be so young again!   Not quite a bridezilla but close!   Then we go to ABQ stayed in a La Quinta for a few days, put all of our stuff in storage because we didn't have our house yet and decided it would be better to spend our wide open days in Utah eating Cafe Rio hanging out with friends and family than sitting in the La Quinta!   So we headed up to Salt Lake for a little over a week.   Then we got word we could move in the first of June to our house so we headed to ABQ to move in on the 2nd on June.  Justin and Ashlee (Steve's brother and his wife) and their two kiddos drove with us and  helped SOOOOOO much.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!!  They really were so generous and helpful and made such a stressful time so much better.  We really couldn't have done it without them!


And here we are today....just hanging out exploring the area.  I found a gym to join that has Les Mills and Body Combat is really new there.  I went the other day and it was fun, but interesting to see all of the people do combat for the first time-ish.   Those of you who know me know that next to the love of my family, the gospel, and friends.....LES MILLS is right up there!   My goal has always been to teach Body Combat.   So I am going to try to reach this goal this year here in ABQ.   I am really excited!


Secondly I have started back up on Kristi Approved now that I actually have a kitchen to cook in and we are a little more settled.  I was happy to weigh in the first day at 148-8 and I am now on day 3 of week 5.   My goal for this first week is to see 146 on the scale!   I found that I really don't like one of the meals and there really isn't a optional meal for that specific meal (they usually give you another meal to try if you don't care for the one on the menu), but this one just has you switch out tuna for chicken....oh well, an apple and string cheese it is!  I am really excited for a little bit of routine again. 


Thanks for listening to our pretty uneventful life of the The Wrights.

We made it to Albuquerque

We made it to Albuquerque.  Yea!  We still don't have a place to go, so we are trying to figure stuff out with our house...one way or another we should know by the end of next week. 


For now we are holding tight and trying our best to be patient.  

Our drive across the country was a lot of fun, long at times, but good.  We had the company of Steve's Mom, Dad, and sister Olivia.  Olivia is getting married August 12th so we got a lot of her wedding planned out.  We got to see downtown Nashville, which was pretty cool.  The scenery was really pretty too.

Now we just hold tight, enjoy the warm weather.

limbo

We are sitting a limbo on our house. We may get it, we may not. Hopefully we will find out soon!

On a brighter note...we will be fine either way. We are so excited for Steven's graduation this Sunday. (Do I really have to call him Doctor?) Our families get here on Friday and we are planning some fun here in Hershey for our last HURAH! We are doing the Trolley Tour offered complimentary by Steven's school for grads and their families, maybe a little trip to Hershey Park, A DEFINITE ride on the chocolate world ride (or two...or three), and a last stop by Wilton Armetale to pick up a tray or two. Olivia my SIL is coming out too and she just got engaged and she needs a collection of Wilton started!





Anyway we are packing up the house, hoping that we get to buy the one we want in Albuquerque, and waiting for family to arrive soon.

Life is GREAT! Congrats STEVEN, you are AMAZING!

A few more pics of the house

Our New Home in Albuquerque!

Its nothing  big and grand, but its nice and has a backyard (and an ice maker in the fridge;)....hard to find around here! 

WE LOVE IT!

In Albuquerque

We are in Albuquerque house hunting.  I have never been here before and I am really liking it!   It reminds me a lot of Salt Lake City, minus Cafe Rio, with the Sandia Mountains on the East side of the city.  It is really pretty (mostly) here and I love having a temple so close. 

We did put in an offer today on a house and will find out tomorrow if they accept it.   Its nothing big and grand, but its nice and will work for us of the next 4 years!
