Adam's Trip to So Cal




Adam was in Anaheim this week. He was there for the International Career Development Conference. Because he placed in the St George competition a few months ago, he was able to go to this one. He gets credit for his Marketing Class and is part of the Delta Epsilon Chi club at school. He was elected president of the club for next year. As you can tell from the picture, he got 2 medals and was a finalist out of 80 people who competed in his category, Retail Management. Apparently there were students from all over the country, Mexico and Canada. The medals were for Best Overall Performance and being a finalist. He went to Universal Studios and a Los Angeles Angels baseball game. He said he spent the whole time walking around, typical for those of us who know what being a tourist in So Cal is like! Adam is now snoozing in the Lazy boy in the living room. He is exhausted! I wish I could have gone, but I was here working & dealing with our basement flooding! Anyway, I am proud of Adam and how well he did. Way to go Adam.....Woot-Woot!!

CA Weekend


Me and Lauri at her baby shower. I traveled home a few weeks ago to go to my sister in law's baby shower. It was a short but eventful trip. I got to see a ton of family and friends. I saw Lauri and Brad's new house. Being back in the Bay Area I realize how much I miss it! Adam said we could move there if I could find a good paying job that would support both of us! haha! I'm a social worker not a physician! I wish it wasn't so expensive to live there :-(

Moved In

Yes we finally moved in! I'm not sure what is worse, moving over the course of a week, or moving in 1 day. Ugh!! Thank you to everyone who helped. We really appreciated it. Remember what goes around, comes around. So yes we would be glad to help you when its your turn.
The nice thing has been getting rid of the stuff that we dont' need. We donated a truck full to DI. I sold my exercise bike that I never used.
We are slowly getting settled. Neither of us took time off work for the move, so its been a slow process. Adam installed the doggy door. It took the dogs a few days to get used to it. What money we saved by not having to rent a moving truck- we went to Home Depot & Ikea and got a desk, lamp and a small dresser.
We are dealing with much less closet space at the new place "the Mini" so that is taking some getting used to. Now we just need to get everything organized & put away. We have a deadline for next weekend. We are hosting a BBQ on the 18th!
We have a cute little porch in the back, now we just need to get a barbeque!
Pictures to be posted soon!
