It's update time!

Hello everybody! It's time for a quick update and then some pictures from the latest Disneyland trip.
Ok, first...New York. I'm thinking I'm putting the crazy talk of moving there on hold....for now. Who knows what will happen in the future, and I'm certainly not completly ruling it out, but for now I'm not planning to move there anytime soon. I am still going to visit early next year, and if all goes well and I love it there I would say there is still a good chance I would move there eventually. Only time will tell on that one.
Then, I was going to move back to Carlsbad....but that is now on hold as well. I've decided to pay off all my bills and be 100% debt free before I move out again so I don't have that constant stress in the back of my mind. So.....I'm hoping, that with the money from my new job (which I will talk about in a minute) I will be able to move out shortly after the first of the year. Not completely sure where to or who with, but I have a couple of options, so we'll have to wait and see what happens there also.
So.....my new job. Otherwise known as my 3rd job, because what sane person has more than 1 job? (yes, that was a trick question....but this is hardly the forum for discussing my sanity levels) I've been doing it for 2 weeks now. The first week kinda sucked because I didn't know what I was doing. Last week was much better and I'm a lot more comfortable with everything I need to do. So the job in a nutshell: there are roughly 160 Stater Brothers stores here in southern California that we take care of. If the temperature gets too high or too low in any of their freezers/cases/boxes/whatever then it will send a call to my pager and I have to log into that stores alarm system and see what the problem is. Then, depending on what it is, I either have to call the store (and tell them to shut the door because somebody probably left it open) or call the on-call guys to go check it out. It's a pretty easy job, and I've figured out the patterns so that I'm able to fit some sleep in in-between calls. It also hasn't cut into my social life nearly as much as I thought it was going to, so that's been great. My friends don't hate me. :)
That's pretty much it.....Larilyn and I leave for Florida on Friday!!! Yikes! I have a lot to do before then....but it's going to be soooo much fun!! I'm sure I will have TONS of pictures when we get back that you'll all have the pleasure of viewing.
Here's some pictures from my latest Disneyland trip:
Because we can't be boring and just take normal pictures on Tower of Terror :)

Our obligatory under water picture?

While we waited for Turtle Talk we played this game where we would take turns telling each other what kind of face to make and we had to do it without really thinking about it. This is apparantly my sly/tricky face. Although I think it's fair to say it could be easily confused with my completely smashed, drunk off my rocker face.

Hillary always gets all the good looking guys. hehe
It's probably cause of her really cool pirates shirt.

Just a cute picture of Paul

Our duck friends that live on Tom Sawyer Island. (and apparantly speak spanish)

Paul demonstrating Mickey's Fantasmic moves. (He's actually quite good and can do the whole routine)

And last, but not least, we all had to test our strength at removing the sword in the stone. I decided to leave it in and just pretend to be straining because I didn't want to make Paul and Hillary feel inferior. :)


And I know this last picture was from the last, last trip and everybody on the farm has seen it since it's my avatar...but it's one of my favorites! :)

HAUNTED MANSION HOLIDAY!!!!
We took a few hat pictures just because we are too cool ;)
And then a couple more random pics.Paul looking tough in his pink cowboy hat. haha

We ended the night with Splash Mountain...because who doesn't want to get soaking wet when it's 60 degrees outside? Hello!
