Wow.... too long of a break!!

Our first Christmas on own!! We had ham, baked potatoes, and all the crackers and cheese goodies from Kelley! :) Thanks Kel!


Us crossing the Texas border! My first time setting foot in the Big Horn State!



Our last date night at our old house!

Rob at the Dallas temple. It's so similar to the Boise temple!

Yikes, it's been about 4 months since my last post, sorry guys!! We've been putting off getting internet until now, mostly just didn't want to pay for it, but it's been long enough to where we can't get away with it anymore. so, we have a lot of updating to do!

Well, i guess we should start with the move. It was a VERY long and somewhat boring of a drive but it went well. We left on Friday September 30th and stopped in Salt Lake for Rob's brother's wedding in Bountiful, there we met up with my dad who was thoughtful enough to volunteer to drive the moving truck the whole way. I don't know how he did but we are so grateful he was willing to do that! :) The next trip we went from Salt Lake to Ft. Collins Colorado, which was somewhat of a pretty drive. The next day we went from Ft. Collins to Amarillo, Texas. Let me tell you, it was beautiful all through Colorado until we got to New Mexico. Then it was dead and flat, all through Texas. For those that have never seen Texas, it has NO HILLS, NO MOUNTAINS WHATSOEVER. It kind of hit us then we were going to be living in a completely different part of the country for the next couple years. Thankfully we all made it safely to Dallas and unloaded everything into our small but cozy 1 bedroom apartment. It was difficult going from a 3 bedroom house to that, but since we've gotten used to it, and with some decorating and love we've managed to make a home out of it.

Well, we've officially been here 3 1/2 months now, so far things are doing pretty good. It was pretty tough at first. There was some/still some homesickness, and when I started work we had to work opposite shifts since Rob is in a leadership position. It seemed bearable until we hit Christmas season, then we had to work about 60 hrs a week, and saw each other maybe a total of 45 minutes for the whole week. For those of you who have worked opposite hours, or spouses who are in the army or work out of state and see each other every few months, I don't know how you do it, but I admire you! It was hard enough for the 3-4 weeks!! But, lucky for us, we were done by Christmas Eve, and after Christmas I only had to work one more day, Rob 2, and then we spent the next 11 days together, 5 of those on our wonderful cruise to Mexico!! So, moral of the story is, things turned out pretty good I think. :) Now we're just back getting in the groove, and I finally started school at the National Personal training Institute!!! Finally after 2 years of planning and wanting to finish, I finally get to start doing what I love most: exercising and learning to teach others to get in shape and feel good about themselves! :) So worth the wait.

Rob's still working full time at Scentsy while I work part time, so we have evenings together now. Things have slowed quite a bit but we're sure it'll pick up beginning of February. Rob stays busy with work but he's doing a great job!! He's learning lots and really becoming a great leader. It's great he'll be able to apply his skills wherever he decides to go from here.

Wow, I think that's it for now!! Again sorry it was so long in between posts but now we have internet i'll keep better updated!

Love the Rogalsky's

We have an apartment!!

Well I haven't updated in a while, but there's not much to update just yet, but here's our latest news. We found an apartment! :) It's a small 1 bedroom/bathroom in Irving, which isn't too far from Coppell. It's small but it's actually quite nice, and dang cheaper than everything else we've looked at. Rob's also been working on opening the new warehouse this week. They wanted to officially open yesterday, but it was one headache after another and long days. They don't have all the equipment they need yet and they're still working out all the "new building" kinks. He's been working hard though, what a trooper! :) At least it's cooled down from 100+ to like, 90.... well at least it's better.
As for me, it's been a lot of cleaning packing, packing and cleaning....mostly packing for now, but it's progress. I've also been working on organizing a group to help us re-sod our front yard, we'll take pictures (if I can find it, I think Rob has it in Texas), but anyway, it's been quite the process but things are coming together. We are officially leaving Boise September 29!! :) stay updated for pictures!! :)

Finally up and Running!!

Ok, it only took me an hour or so but I figured it out and I have our new blog! :) I've been told once your married you need a blog, and I figured once we move to Texas we might need one to keep y'all posted. (Sheesh....Texas has already rubbed off me and I haven't even been there yet). Well anyway, here we go!! We'll see how long this lasts.
Well for those who don't know Rob's been down there for a week already, they haven't had much yet but he has been doing some set up, and also importantly he's been looking for a place to live. the sad part about Texas is the cost of living is higher :( a smal one bedroom apartment is more expensive than our 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. Oh well, it's cases like these where we gotta do what we gotta do. Anyways, he has had some success and found a couple places to look at, so hopefully something will come out of it. When he goes back for the second time after Labor Day we have 30 days to find a place to live.
Anyways, that's all about us for now. We'll try to be more interesting once we get moving. :) We're nervous but excited for our new adventure!!
