Time to Rejoin the Real World

Well, I got the job that I interviewed with today. I will barely be making more than I do on unemployment, but I guess some work is better than no work. I will be working as an administrative assistant for a company called Aquatherm. They sell pipes. The product actually sounds kind of cool. You should check them out. I start training tomorrow afternoon. My two month vacation has been great, and I am sad that is has come to an end, but I am excited for new experiences and for a little more cash flow and stability.

Monthly Update

Still looking for a job. I have interviewed for a couple, but no luck yet. I have another interview this afternoon. We will see how it goes.

I spent the weekend up in Logan, UT with Kevin's family. His parents came down from Washington for a couple family reunions. It was great getting to know his parents and his brother Scott's family. I wish I had pictures, but I didn't take any. Kevin took a ton though, so maybe I can post some later. It was my first time in Logan (other than when we drove up earlier in the week for another family reunion) and it is really pretty up there. Lots of green. Kevin made sure we stopped at Gossner's for some cheese and Rootbeer milk. I am definitely a fan of Rootbeer milk! We also stopped at Charlies' for milkshakes, which were very tasty!



Last Tuesday we were lucky enough to get free tickets to an Orem Owls game. We stayed for a couple innings and it was really fun. I have to admit that my favorite part was probably the soft frozen pink lemonade! I did manage to take a couple pictures before the mosquitoes began to eat us alive and we had to leave.


We had a blast on the 4th of July! We started the morning with the parade then went back to my place and made Eggs Benedict. After a much needed nap, we ventured down to Center Street in Provo for the Freedom Days festivities. We did a little shopping (Kevin bought me a cute bag for church and a BEAUTIFUL pearl necklace) and gorged on a funnel cake and dippin dots. Later in the evening we met up with Kevin's roommate's family for a little BBQ and watched the fireworks from the Bean Museum. The fireworks definitely disappointed this year. Guess they spent all their money on the Jonas Brothers. :-)
