..promotional tour..
Jesse has his promotional tour tomorrow :) Please keep him in your prayers ALL day. He is traveling around to different stores with his boss, other co-workers, his potential new boss (Sylmar), and a Frito Lay top executive! He is showing them his stores and explaining what he has done/is doing for the company and his district. Once this is done, his promotion is official and then he has the opportunity to take that job in Sylmar.
Ohh and Sylmar..that is the only offer on the table so more then likely (unless Jesse does not like the new boss that much) he will be taking it. Sooo we are "moving on up!" We started looking into Pasadena and they have some great places to live. BUT we do like Santa Clarita. We will be going house hunting in the next few weekends to see our options. We really would like to get a townhouse with 2 or more bedrooms OR at least a 2 bedroom apartment. I think we can find that for under $2000 a month so that would be wonderful :) Gotta love SoCal! hahaha
A map of our possible new location...we would be moving to the red cross near the top. Jesse would be working in the San Fernando area (right below) Now follow that down and you will see Pasadena (other possiblity) and then you will see Glendora which is basically where we are living right now. 
I will keep you updated in the days ahead..we will know more VERY soon!

..life is a changing..
I am in the midst of midterms week. I have four this semester..my last semester and I have four. This is the most I have ever had in one week. I am angry. Okay, not angry just easily distracted (like right now) and that does not help with the studying.
Here is one of the big reasons I am distracted..moving.
Just a little update on what has been going on here and with our life in general. Jesse is still with Frito Lay. For him to be able to manage his own district we have to move. He is a district sales leader..meaning he is to manage his own district. He has not been able to do that because they are overstaffed right now in City of Industry. He needs to transfer to another building to have his own team, receive bonuses, and move up the ladder at Frito Lay. So last week his boss told him the first location that is in urgent need of help is Sylmar CA. That is about 40 minutes north of us. We went up there to check it out..and well, we were not impressed! We didn't find anything we liked about the city..at all. It was bad. So we went even further north to Santa Clarita. We found some places and more of a city there. BUT we would be moving out of Los Angeles. I have a love/hate relationship with Los Angeles. I hate the traffic, the fact that it was 95 today (yes, 95), the smog, lack of security (at times), and just the overcrowding. But I love our apartment, being in the middle of such a busy place, being close to everything I could ever want, and feeling like I am at home. When I drive around here, I feel at home. I know where everything is and where to go...if we move, I know nothing..and that includes people. Jesse and I are really alone down here too but if we move to Santa Clarita we are really alone. So Sunday was a tough day because reality started sinking in. We want to move somewhere fun or close to the beach or well, somewhere that we want to go! Jesse's boss told him today that he might be starting November 1st at the new place. What new place? We have no idea...I will keep you updated :) Please keep us in your prayers..this is a big decision for us right now and we are struggling and stressed out! It's coming quick!

..vegas..
We had a wonderful time in Vegas this last weekend!!
It was perfect to head there on Thursday night because we had all day Friday to hangout. Anna and Jake went to the pool while Jesse and I hit up Fremont Street and a Viva Las Vegas show..dancers and all! We laughed through most of it! We gambled a bit and had so much fun with Jake and Anna. Overall it was a success and we will definitely head back there. We can only handle Vegas for short periods of time..it's quite the crazy time :)
Here are just a couple pictures from the weekend
This was amazing!! Such a cool thing to see!

..vegas bound..
On Thursday night we are heading to Vegas for the weekend! Our friends Jake and Anna are heading there with us! It should be rather interesting since I have never been there and I know it's going to be crazy!!
We are staying at the Golden Nugget. Jake and Anna stayed there last year and have always wanted to go back. There pool has a swim-up fish tank and a slide that goes through a shark tank...should be pretty sweet :)
