Looking for an apartment

We are as settled as you can get in a hotel room. I spent most of the day yesterday looking at apartments and calling them. There are a ton of apartment complexes, but alot of them won't take less than a year lease. We found a couple of 6 month ones, a 3 month one and a couple of month to month mobile homes. Looked at a couple trashy ones yesterday as we are still learning the area, but did find a pretty nice one - wanted a 6 month lease though. Will look at more today and hopefully we can find one today that will work. The hotel room is kinda small :)

Beautiful weather here, mostly in the 80's! Tomorrow its supposed to get to 90!! But we have found that if you get out of the direct sun, it doesn't feel that hot. Need to drink lots of water - we were told that if you get a headache - you know you need to drink more. It is a different heat than we know up north.

Scott has been at training the last few days at work. Nothing that he hasn't learned yet, but its policy that you take the training before you start. Today is his first day of "work". He gets the DAY shift!!! We were expecting nights being the newest there. But, there are about 12 starting with him and they asked first who wanted the midnight shift, and most people wanted it - its cooler then. They even had to take some who wanted nights and put them to days. We wanted the day shift because of schedules with the kids. We don't know what his weekend days are yet.
