Hey everyone! Just wanted to throw out a quick update on my break here. We're missing you all immensely!! Apparently we need to get a web cam so we can see the mamacita!! Give Aubrie kisses from us!!
I'm having a great time at my job. I will be really glad when my benefits kick in here though because working at Starbucks can be really draining some days.
Jason is doing GREAT at his job, and still loving it.
We watched the season premiers of The Office and Heroes this week!!! WOOO HOOO!
So much fun, if you don't watch either of those... you should! Alright, well back to work. Like I said we miss you all... it's starting to set in that we actually live here and this is not a vacation, I wish I could come out and see you all, but it's going to be a while. Talk to you soon!
Love,
Sarah and Jason

Seconds between jobs....
Seriously can one of you send me a time stoppermechanithingy??? There's too much going on to fit in 24 hrs. Ok sooo, I've been bugging Jason to do a blog... but that's obviously not happening so with the few seconds I have between starbucks (this morning) and Blizzard (carpool leaves in 5 min) I will update you lol!
Let's see. Jason is doing an outstanding job at work. In fact during a team meeting he was singled out by the guy that runs the company because of how great his work looks! YAY JASON!! He's also turning into a toothpick with huge legs because of all the bike riding he's been doing lately, he really enjoys it.
My job (the new one) is pretty great. I'm getting better at I'm at the point where I'm taking the number of calls per day I should be. I really love my coworkers, turns out one of them lives 5 minutes away from me so we carpool now! Oh! our "Rock Band" video game band, made it to the finals, which are next wednesday! We'll be playing "Are you gonna be my girl" By Jet... which will be fun since I'm singing it (AND YES.... I will be wearing BIG BLACK BOOTS!!) I'll be sure to get some one to take tons of pics.
Also... who knew geeks like to party?? The people in my department seriously go out 3 times a week, either to 6th st. or to a little pub that's closer to work. It's really been fun getting to know everyone and hanging out with them outside of work (I can haz friendz??)
Also, met one of the other PMS clan girls that lives out here and finally got to hang out with Amber (PMS clan founder who lives in San Antonio) OHHHH ANNND... you're all going to laugh, I went to a casting call for the some show about the Nation's top gamers, and I actually got called to be a finalist to be on the show! BUT with the new job and all I had to turn it down, they want to film in LA for about 3 weeks, and I can't take that kind of time off. SO you can say you almost know someone who would have been on TV???
OK here's some pictures then I gotta run!!! LOVE YOU ALL SOOOooooooOoOO Much.

Where am I and what day is it?
Wellll hello thar!
As you can probably tell from the lack of posting, we've been quite busy out here! So lets see... I started the new job last monday, the 25th. We trained all last week and most of this week. I should be "on my own" starting tomorrow. So far, I love everything about where I'm working and the job is pretty cool.
For example... an email went out to everyone that there would be a "Rock Band" competition. "Rock Band" is a video game where you basically play fake instruments that are connected to the video game system. Needless to say, I LOVE this game. So I signed up, and ended up on a team with 3 other guys in my department. We did the "audition" yesterday, and should be competing in the finals on the 24th of this month....
THIS is where I work.... YAY!
And because I know Melissa wants to know, we played Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria.
Not sure which song we'll do on the finals... and yes i'm singing on expert! WOOT.
This last weekend we spent out in Dallas with mom and dad Gourley and Jessica! We had a great time, went to see an art show at a museum out there. We also spent a lot of time watching movies and doing nothing... which was fantastic and sooooo needed. Jessica will be leaving for Africa next monday so keep her in your prayers as she embarks on this amazing adventure!
Let's see... OH I almost forgot about the day of EPIC LOOT! (or for those of you who don't play video games, the day of "All the cool stuff we got.")
Just happened to be that all in the same day, I received a bunch of cool stuff from work related to the company (video games, t-shirt) THEN Jason called to tell me he bought his bike on the way home ! (and just in time too, the bus drivers have been threatening to strike!) AND THENNN, I went to open my mailbox and there was a package sent from my dad's friends in the Netherlands!!! NOW some one HAS to come cheese and wine with me!!! What am I to do with all this cheese!!!??
Other than that things are alright. I've been pretty tired this week, but I had a lot going on, so it won't be so bad next week. Well time to get ready for job #2, I leave you with this...
