New Classes, New Job, Maybe New Home?!

Well, Todd has been through almost 2 weeks of classes the semester. He is taking a math class, history, Book of Mormon, New Testament, and a Military training class. So far everything is looking good. He took his first math test today and got a 93.3! In his military training class he gets to do a lot of running, the first Wednesday they ran 3 1/2 miles. Every Wednesday is their long distant run. So Tim and Tom, Todd is getting a little glimpse of what you guys got to go through for boot camp!
Along with new classes Todd started a new job. Well, last week he started training for a phone marketing place and pretty much hated it. So he decided to go get a job on campus and is now a custodian for the boys dorms. Today was his first day. The best part...the hours are 4am to 7am! So he gets up goes to work, comes home, showers, and then we leave again for me to take him to school before I go to work. At least he's home in the evenings now. The other job he was working till 10 at night. I honestly didn't know what to do. It was kinda weird. After a day he enjoys it. He pretty much just goes around the dorms and checks everything. He's just glad he doesn't have to clean the bathrooms!
Anyway, so we might be moving to new apartments. We posted our lease on the BYU-I bulletin just to see if anyone would be interested in taking it over. Well, after a couple days some people came and checked out the apartment and pretty much said they wanted it. So we've been spending this week trying to find a place and decide on what we needed to do. But we both feel like the right thing to do is move. Our apartment is tiny, its only 538 square feet. It's a studio made into a one bedroom by putting up a wall. It's way expensive too. So the new one we found is a two bedroom and its the same price as what we're paying now. They're closer to campus, so when Todd has to walk to school it wont be as bad. I was a little hesitant by the set up but today we went and talked to the mangers and got to go into theirs and it really made me feel a lot better. It was just nice to see how someone else set their place up. It gave me some ideas to do! So now I'm really excited. All we're waiting for is the couple to sign a contract for our apartment. Once they do that I'll feel much better. I just don't want to move and then they back out. That would really stink. So we might be in a new place as soon as May 10th! The only bad part is moving out of here. The list the manager gave us, for our apartment, gave us is so extensive. The last place we lived all we had to do is just make sure everything was clean and decent, here you have to do everything plus they take a butt load of money out of your deposit. But oh well, we'll either move out now or in January so I'd rather just get it done with now. Hopefully we'll have some good news in a couple days and know if we get to move or not!
