New Job, New Car!

Kaleb finished school in December and officially graduated in January. He started applying for jobs when he finished school. As most of you know, getting a job out of school is not the easiest thing. Luckily I had my steady job, but we still needed to find Kaleb a job so we start building our savings back up. 

After a few months and a million resumes sent out, he finally got a job! I was so incredibly proud! All the hard work had paid off! It perfect, an audio job with lots of room for growth!

We only had one car and knew as soon as Kaleb got a job that we would have to buy a second. We went car shopping once before, to get the hang of it. They were extremely pushy and we didn't even like the car they were trying to get us to buy. We finally had to put our foot down and walked out the door.

The second time we went shopping, we went to a dealership that a cousin recommended. I had researched the cars that they had on the lot before hand so we had an idea of what we wanted. It made it a much better experience and the salesman we were put with helped us out a lot. 

After a lot of paperwork and signing our names, we finally were able to leave with our new car!! Kaleb even let me drive it home.

We still love it!

Of course, that weekend, we had to go out and celebrate! We went to a sushi place in the Burbank Town Center. 

The Sushi was actually pretty good, plus we hit happy hour so it was cheap!

We were a little hesitant when we saw the outside, but we are glad we took the risk! 

At the Burbank Town Center, there is a mall and IKEA!! I wanted to go to Ikea, but Kaleb thinks it's torture, so we headed into the mall. Right when we walked in, we realized that they were closing in 5 minutes. We walked out and were going to go in Sports Chalet, but they, too, were closing. All that was left, and that was not closing, was Ikea!! I was super happy, Kaleb was not so happy.... 

Trying to make it not so miserable for Kaleb, I walked fast and we bought a chocolate bar at the end. 

It is such a great feeling for us to both have jobs! We both love what we do and are so grateful for the support from our friends and family!
