It has been almost exactly 3 months since my last post.....I just don't find the time. So what I am going to go ahead and do is give you a brief overview and hopefully add more details and photos later. So, here is what we have been doing since Valentines Day:
- Getting ready to move. Which includes: find boxes, spending alot of time on craigslist, collecting newspapers, getting everything shut down, lots of cleaning, saying goodbyes
- My mom and stepdad came down at the end of
March for my stepdad's mother's funeral and were able to spend time with us.
- I quit my job. Which was really hard at the time.
-Dustin turned 27!! Luckily my mom and Paul were here for his birthday so they took us out to a really nice restaurant and we celebrated !!
-Dustin took his last set of finals for law school this April
-Dustin graduated from BYU Law School!!!!!!
- Luckily, my mom and Paul were able to come up again to Utah but for Dustin's graduation this time. Also, Dustin's dad and brother were also kind enough to make it to the graduation. It was a nice weekend.....freezing....but nice.
-We tried to hang out with everyone we could before we left. We hung out with some neighbors, church friends, old buddies, law school guys....the works! We will miss you all!
- We moved. Dustin's law buddies were kind enough to help us load up the Penske while I cleaned the apt. with a fellow R.S. friend. I miss my Provo apt.!! Its the only married place we have known.
- I turned 23! I celebrated my birthday by getting up really early and moving across the country. Dustin drove the truck and I drove the car so I spent my birthday alone in the car. Luckily, I am not super into birthdays or that would have been a really depressing one. Also, we stayed in a nice hotel that night and I just soaked in the bath so that made up for things.
- We are currently living in Missouri until we get established and find an apt that we love.
- I just got a job yesterday working for a medical company as an Account Coordinator. I basically work with nurses to try and get them out to patients to teach them how to use their meds and how to inject them. It seems like a great job.
-Dustin is currently....as we speak.....applying for the bar exam in another state! We applied and paid for the Kansas bar but realized that most of his job leads lie in Missouri so it would be beneficial to take the
Missouri bar. Sooooo, now we will defer the Kansas bar exam till next Feb. and he will take the Missouri one this July. So his time and summer now consists of studying for the bar.
- I am also hoping to start my masters from UMKC sometime soon so I can get going on starting my career. I am hoping to do counseling in an academic environment. We will keep you posted.
-Side note: I am anticipating the preview of my favorite show Wipeout!! When does it come on this summer? ahhhhh. Also, we have a Blue-Ray player here in Missouri and Dustin bought his first Blue-Ray DVD, Avatar, and it looks amazing on our TV :)
So yeah, thats about it in summary. We are doing great and are anticipating what our future will hold for the next 6 months! :)
