January 20-26, 2020


Monday was MLK day and Paul and I didn't have to go to school or work. We made some ice cream and watched movies and Paul did homework. 

Paul had his first interview for grad school this week. We were worried about snow, so Paul's parents came and got him Wednesday night. His flight left Thursday and he was gone until Saturday evening. The school paid for him to stay in this super nice hotel room that was right next to the medical complex that Baylor is a part of. 


I just had a normal week of work. I deep cleaned on Thursday. Wendy texted me and invited me to hang out with them on Friday since I was alone in Logan. I hate being alone so as soon as I got done with work I drove down to salt lake. It was good timing too because I left right as it started snowing. 

When I got down there, Wendy and Rachel were telling me what they were thinking of doing for furniture when the upstairs is finished. It is going to look so awesome! Then we talked about quilts until everyone was ready to go to dinner. We ended up going to a new Asian restaurant in bountiful called fat fish. Wendy was so nice and got me salmon sashimi sushi. It was so delicious! Then we got some crumble cookies to share. Rachel and I shared the Oreo one and it was really good. After that, I headed to my parents house and called Paul. He loved Baylor and was very impressed by the breadth of research that is being done there. He felt he connected well with several faculty during interviews and is expecting to hear a decision from them within the next few weeks. The activity for the interviewees on Friday was just getting drinks at the pub, so after dinner he just went back to his hotel room and watched TV. 

Saturday was relaxed. Ben and I went on a 4 mile run before we went to lunch at Ruth's diner with everyone at home. We played settlers of Catan (Jacob won) and Qwixx (I won..I think ) before I left to get Paul. His flight arrived early so I had to rush out the door. 

We then went to Paul's families house. Wendy and Rachel found some really cute fabric for a quilt suggestion I gave Wendy. Emily and I joined them in a little sewing assembly line while Paul told his dad about the interviews. Then we went to dinner at Black Bear before heading back up to Logan. 

Sunday has been relaxed as well since we don't have church until 11:30. We had Adam over for dinner and we're excited for another interview coming up for Paul this weekend. 

Love you all!

 This week was good. I was able to mail mom's stockings on Monday then start on Peter's. I finished his by the end of the week, so that was good. They turned out so cute and tiny! My coworker, Liz, told me about this overstock store that has all these Christmas trees and how she got a $150 one for $30 and I was like..heck yeah! I am totally going to check it out. Paul humored me and we went together on Thursday. It was kind of gross and disorganized and there weren't a lot of personnel around but we did find a tree that was originally $260 and we got it for $50! It was totally unopened and I love it! Paul found it too, I'm so glad he was willing to come with me. The weekend I sewed a ton and got started on Wendy's order and made some Thanksgiving napkins. Paul worked hard in lab and got to start his own project! It is very exciting and he is learning a lot. We love you all!

  This week was a good week! Paul had a good week of classes and I got a job! I was applying all week and heard back from a law firm I had called a couple weeks ago. They emailed me on Thursday, we set up an interview for Friday, they hired me Friday and my first day is tomorrow! I will be a practice assistant for the firm. They specialize in patent and trademark law and they are only a 5 minute drive from our apartment! I am very excited for this opportunity! It will be similar to what I have done for work in the past but I'm sure there will be plenty of new things as well. Saturday, we went to the mall to get me more office clothes and just walked around in the nice air conditioning. It was a fun celebration of getting a job that is better than what we were looking for. We hope you all are well. Love you!

This week was good. It was the first week of classes for Paul's last semester at USU. yay! Almost done!  Paul liked all his classes except one from this past week. He found another one he can take instead and is ready for the rest of the semester! For some reason I've been having headaches this week. They got so bad that I just stayed in bed on Wednesday (besides the 8 hours I worked). It was helpful because I did not have a headache on Thursday! Paul was really sweet and took care of cleaning and cooking this week so I didn't have to worry about it.  This weekend we watched Dallas play Denver in basketball. Saturday we watched Dallas play the Lakers. We just stayed in because it snowed a ton and made the roads crazy. Saturday morning was clear though, so we went to the pool and did some laps there for some low impact exercise. I had a lot of fun and hope we keep it up for the semester. Swimming is a lot harder than I remember as a kid! But I'm psyched.  Sunday the road...
