Sizzling

Ok...I'm confused.. Did I go to sleep and wake up in Texas??? For the last few days it has been smoldering hot here.. Today on my drive home, my car said it was 99 degrees outside. The lovely thing about Washington is that it hardly ever gets hot here so no one has air. I walked into my living room after work to find that it was much cooler inside than out. Currently it's 89 degrees IN MY HOUSE.. I'm roasting. We have every fan we own going full blast. Yesterday we had to hose the dogs down to cool them off. And actually Matt and I just got done running through the sprinkler. It's terrible! I know Cody has poison oak and all, but at least he isnt roasting to death.

On a happier note, Matt and I found a place to live!! Matt's dad flies to Washington sept 29 to help me drive down! Thanks Mike :) ( I think we should treat him to some Joe T's, we're trying to get them to move down)

I hope everyone had a good day! I've got to go get ready for the movies (they have air)

Life

Hello world...... Well it's been a long time since I've written anything..
Lets see.. The last time I wrote on here the plan for Matt and I went a little something like this.

October-Matt goes out to sea with his boat and gets to leave it early coming back early December. During that time I'd be working and looking for jobs and a place to live. In Jan Matt would get out of the navy and we'd move to Texas.
A few days ago (on our way home from vacation in fact) Matt gets a phone call from someone in the navy saying basically "Hey Matt we know you've worked hard these last 5 years and you and your family are planning on you leaving in Jan but we don't care... You can either extend your stay in the navy until feb going out to sea from October through mid Jan, or you can go out to sea with a different sub in 2 weeks for 2 1/2 months, come back for 2 weeks and then go out again until Jan.
Can I tell you how disguisted I am with the navy right now??? I mean he was on his vacation.. Couldn't this at least wait until he got back?? So Matt decided to extend :( My heart was sad at first but I don't think it was ready for him to leave in 2 weeks either.
After talking about things, we think it will be best for me to move back to texas when he leaves, that way at least one of us will have a job/place to live and we wouldn't both be looking for work at the same time. I think this is a blessing in disguise.
Now I have to find a job and a place to live. And leave a job that I absolutely love. But Thanksgiving and Christmas with family!!! Yes please!!
I wonder when I should let my work know I'm looking/leaving??
So thats whats going on with us at the moment.. We had a great vacation with Matt's family and are excited about the last few months of summer!
PS, don't write anything on facebook about me leaving yet, I'd rather them find out via person :)
