 It was a good, busy week. Tuesday we met up with our friends, Aaron and Kassie, for dinner at the park and played games. 


Wednesday I got a call from cottonwood residential in Dallas asking if I will go work for them once I get down there. I will be working as a customer experience specialist and I’ll be 7 minutes away from Paul! Thank you Chad for getting me a job!


Thursday was my last day at work at the courthouse. We ordered in Olive Garden for a goodbye lunch. It was a good goodbye, some of the ladies got teary, they were really good to me this last year. 


That night we got rid of our big furniture and  headed down to salt lake for the weekend. Friday morning, Paul and I met up with my lifelong friend, Whitney Corbett, at Finns diner. She’s been sickly lately but had surgery five months ago and is feeling much healthier. We then went up to help Paul’s dad fix up a bike until we met up with my cousin and his wife, Cameron and Collette Cook at Red Rock for dinner. They are having a baby in December and are fixing up a little house together. We’re very excited for them!


Saturday I met up with my other lifelong friend, Clare Schramm (Gottschall). We had lunch and talked for a few hours. It was so fun to catch up. While we were at lunch, Paul went to lunch with his grandma, Elaine, and Matt and Hannah. Then they played games at the park. We went back up to Salt Lake for dinner because Paul’s other grandparents, Sam and Terry, got sick and had to cancel our dinner plans. We went up and had a bbq at my parents house instead. Then Ben and I went running at the East High track. Ben ran 8 miles and I walked/jogged the whole time but it was good to get out. 


Sunday we had church with the Christensen’s and a yummy dinner together before heading up to the Roberts in the evening for Paul’s brother, Joe’s, birthday party. It was a hard goodbye for me. It was hard to drive away and see all their faces on the front porch and know I won’t see them for a while. 




Once I composed myself, we went and had a nice evening at the Roberts home. Then we got ready for the move happening the next day!




Stay tuned for next week to hear how the move goes!

 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...
