Today is one week in El Paso...

I finally found a place to rent Monday night. I moved in on Tuesday. I am renting a room with a husband and wife. They are very nice and allow me access to anything that I want in the house. It is kind of a neat place. They have an atrium in the middle of the house with like a cement cobblestone floor and some really big pretty plants. There are also two very large black dogs named Astro and Bella, which are very friendly and lovable. The only problem is that there is not internet in the house, but hopefully they will get it soon. All in all it is a good choice and not that far from First Light FCU, where I will be working.

I took the bus for the first time yesterday from downtown; it took about an hour and a half to get home, but I was able to see more of the city and get aquainted with more of the streets and local stores. My knowledge of the city is growing everyday, which is fantastic. I may even be able to give someone directions in the future...lol. :)

I have been learning a lot everyday about financial education and taxes jargon. I even got my books today so that I can begin studying up to get tax certified this year and help out with the VITA program. I am very exciteed for the weekend and to relax and get in some very much needed sleep.  :)

Last weekend I visited Mesilla and ate at La Posta, a very good mexican restaurant. Fun Fact: Mesilla is know for putting on the trial of the gunslinger Billy the Kid. There are gifts shops for souvenirs. I am wanting to go explore White Sands and Roswell.
