Well, Christmas was great. Sharon, Jacob, Isaac and Reece came up from "San Diego". David, Joanna and Declan came up from "Los Angeles" and Patrick and Mary cam down from Salem. It was great seeing everyone and spending time together. Sarah and I got a GPS unit for our car from Mom and Dad Alwin, which will help me to not get lost around Sacramento. New Years was a lot of fun too. We went to our friends the Truitts' and stayed up 'till about 4am--good times. We also drove down to L.A. for Sarah's grandfather's 70th birthday party Christmas weekend. It was great to see everyone, and we had a good time.
Well, Sarah is still working part-time, about 25 hours per week, and we are praying that her work picks up so that she can get her hours back. We have decided to wait until the end of the month to see if they will be able to give her hours back, if not she will unfortunately have to look for a new job. We don't really want her to leave because she enjoys working for them so much.
I am no longer working part-time. In fact, I am no longer working. Unfortunately, last Tuesday I was told that Thursday would be my last day. I was let go for financial reasons. So now I am looking for another part-time job that I can stay at for about a year while I finish school. By the way, I finally looked at my last semester grades and I got all A's. :)
The great news is that we are moving at the end of the month! We are going to be out of our Carmichael apartment by Jan. 31st and will be moving to Citrus Heights. The rent is cheaper, we will have two full baths and a fire place, we'll have two assigned parking spaces (one of which is a garage), and we will be closer to friends and church. Unfortunately we will be further from my Mom and Dad and Becky and John. :(
We went on a hike today with our friend Scott at Muir woods. It was very pretty and we had a good time together, although Scott drives like a crazy man! We will probably do more hikes together since he is close to our favorite hiking location, Mnt. Tamalpais.
