Arizona 2.0

Image
By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Since I've last posted there have been a few major changes and events that have happened. I have vacationed in the Bahamas, we have moved to Arizona, have bought a house, and have donated my hair. I've been meaning to update this blog for a while but now here I am watching Rome, drinking some cranberry juice, and typing on my laptop.

Jake got a position in Southern Arizona as a contractor so we moved here and decided to buy a house. We looked at houses online for about a month before we found this one. It had everything we wanted in a house which was difficult to find. We did a virtual tour before deciding to put down an offer. It was accepted! Then we flew out to Arizona to walk through the home twice before going back to Tennessee and packing up all our stuff.

After three days and both mine and Jake's cars breaking down in Texas we finally made it to Arizona. We lived out of a hotel for about a month. Because we were staying there so long, we received a special rate so we were able to get a suite that had a stove top, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, etc. Finally we closed on the house and were able to move in! It only took 25 days for me to completely unpack, organize, and decorate the house. Actually, one of the guys Jake works with said that I did such a good job unpacking our house that he is paying me to unpack his house lol. I started a few days ago so hopefully it doesn't take that long.


Now that we've moved in and things are finally settling down I can focus more on school and setting a daily routine. I will be doing a blog post later about our vacation in the Bahamas. It was so amazing, I can't wait to go on another cruise.

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!

I Love My Coffee

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
I love coffee. I don't necessarily NEED to have it. I even stopped drinking it for a while and just had tea but I love the taste of it. I used to drink Starbucks all the time but now I make my coffee at home. When it started to get hot here I stopped drinking my coffee in the morning because hot coffee and hot weather was just too much for me. Then I realized I should just make iced coffee! I have a couple recipes I have been using lately and would love to write them. Some of them are healthy and some of them, not so much. Vanilla Creme: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Vanilla Creme SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Chocolate Raspberry: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Chocolate Raspberry SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Iced Mocha Coffee: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) A couple squirts of Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup You can basically make it anyway you want to. I would love to get the flavors of Hazelnut, Pumpkin S...
