This is series two of the apartment show. Enjoy

There's No Place Like Home - The Kitchen

Life has been wonderful in newlywed country. Making our apartment feel like home has taken a lot of work, but it's really coming along. This will be the first of a few series about the apartment. Since getting all our gifts (thanks again to everyone), we have set up shop. The kitchen is full of awesome appliances and gadgets, which we love. In fact, it feels like we have cooked real meals everyday since we've been here. Hooray for married life

Las Vegas Trip

Back at the beginning of the month, Kristi and I went to Las Vegas. Her roommate season was getting married, so we got up early on Saturday morning and made the long drive to the Vegas Temple. I love driving with Kristi -- she makes traveling such a blast.

After lunch, we spent the day together, just the two of us. We went to a casino to watch High School Musical 3.

That night, we went to the reception. Seriously, Season and Tom had a beautiful reception. They had it in a chapel, but I've never seen a cultural hall look so good. We didn't want to stay the night so we left Vegas at about 9:00pm to drive home. Once we made it out of the city, I realized I lost my phone. We drove all the way back and went to the theater where we watched the movie and luckily they had it.

Driving all night was rough and we had to stop like three times just to take naps. We safely turned a five hour drive into a twelve hour drive. We made it home after the sun had already come up. I got to take a shower and run out the door to Church. Definitely a good week.

We are heading down to Mesa next week for Thanksgiving! Wish us luck on the drive down.

Today's Update:

Today I have an interview for an internship with General Mills. The job is in the summer and we'd be living in Scottsdale AZ. I'm really hoping to make a good impression because the position sounds really cool. Not only that, Kristi is a cereal fanatic! I swear, that's pretty much all she eats.

7 October 2008

Wasn't General Conference amazing? I felt like so much of what was taught answered my prayers. I'm so grateful for the inspired nature of the Apostles.

I have new group again at the MTC. Always a blast. They are a more reserved and spiritual group than usual for me. I'm a bit wild in my class sometimes; the adjustment has been a good experience.

School is still stressful as ever, but I've been getting excited about planning the honeymoon. Remember, we are pretty poor. I've been looking at hotel and ticket prices all week. It's all I can think about. I bit you are wondering where we think we might go? Well, I'm not sure I want to give out those details yet. If anyone wants to donate a couple...ten grand though, we'd love to go someplace like Hawaii or Europe. Just in case you got it laying around, you know.

Anyway, have a great week.

Don't miss the Red River Shootout!
