 This week has been crazy! Monday, Paul, Sam, Matt, and I drove up to Logan. I got breakfast for everyone while the boys disposed of our unwanted couch and loaded up all three cars with our stuff. Wendy, Mike, and Andy drove up after us so Mike could finish his bike ride. Mike went with Paul, Sam, and Matt on the 20 hour drive down to Texas while I checked us out of the apartment and went with Wendy and Andy to lunch with Adam and Sanora. 

Afterwards, we drove back to North Salt Lake. I took a shower, we did some shopping at Joann's and Kohls and got a yummy dinner at Hug-Hes. Hannah drove up and went shopping with us too. It was a lot of fun! Then we watched Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Alabama. The boys stopped in Fort Collins, CO for the night. They said that was the best hotel they stayed in the whole time!


Tuesday, I made this hat wreath with stuff we got at Joann's and hung it on Wendy's front door. I love how it turned out. We did some more shopping and got Cafe Rio for dinner. We watched Hamilton on Disney Plus because I hadn't seen it before. I love the music from it and really enjoyed watching it with everyone. The boys stopped in Childress, TX for the night. They said it was sketchy and were quick to check out the next morning.

Wednesday, Wendy drove me to the airport. Andy and Emily left goodbye gifts for me which has to be the sweetest thing. Emily did an awesome cross stitch of Lil' Sebastian from the tv show, Parks and Recreation. Andy gave me his lucky egg, a necklace, and one of his favorite books (which I just started reading!). He gave Paul his Lego minifigures. They were very sweet, heartfelt gifts.


The flight was good. Landing in Dallas I got really woozy. I was scared out of my mind on the drive over to the apartment. I was so worried about it and Paul was doing his best to calm my fears. We got there and ended up really loving what we saw. We gave the okay for Sam and Matt to come unload everything. They were really quick and I didn't need to do very much work, which I am grateful for! After that we went back to the hotel in Dallas that Sam, Matt, and Mike were staying in. We walked over to Fogo De Chao for Sam's birthday dinner, which is a brazilian steakhouse. It was seriously so delicious. 


Thursday, we unpacked a little bit before meeting up with the guys for breakfast at Original Pancake House. We saw them off as they started their road trip home. We are so grateful for their help. We could not have done it without them.

The rest of the day and the rest of the weekend we shopped and set up our apartment. Sunday we drove 5 minutes to the Dallas temple. It is a beautiful area on the south side of the freeway and so close to us! Then we tested out the drive to UTSW. Not too bad. We looked at places to live that were on the way and can confidently say we'd rather have a longer commute.

We hope you all are well. We love you very much and miss you already!

 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...
