So…it’s been over a year since I last updated and I guess you could say a lot has changed and yet not much has changed. I think the best way to update is just to go by the months since I last wrote and see what has happened.

January 2009-

- Dave and I were in New York. Dave started his internship.

- We were staying with my Aunt Johanna who was extremely generous in sharing her space with us.

- I interviewed for a couple of jobs but to no success because we were only going to be in NY till April.

- I had been talking with someone I work with in Idaho and she told me that if I wanted to I could work from home they would send me a phone. YES!

(The pictures below are of when we went to the Empire State Building and the Natural History Museum)

February 2009-

- Still in New York. Dave is really enjoying his internship.

- I am bored out of my mind because I got my phone and it wasn’t connecting correctly. I called the people that were supposed to help me but they were fairly busy.

( The pictures below are of when we went to Central Park and then when we went to 9/11 memorial museum. The caption under the lamb stuffed animal read, “This lamb was recovered from the top of the collapse pile. Tattered, torn, and looking sadly up from the rubble, he was cradled in the arms of a firefighter. We all wondered, if he could survive, why couldn't the others?”)

March 2009-

- Still in New York. Dave is still enjoying his internship.

- I finally got my phone working so I could work! Started working from home and it was a little strange being 2 hours off from the people I was working with.

- Started looking for housing for going back to Idaho. It took so long and we could barely get anyone to respond to our requests. We were put on a number of waiting lists. BUT finally after at least 3 weeks of looking we got a contract.

April 2009-

-We flew out of NY on the 13th and got back to Idaho on the 16th.

August 2009-

- I turned 22! (A couple months ago someone asked me how old I was and I said 19 and then I didn't realize it right away so I couldn't take it back because then I would look crazy for not knowing my own age.)

- Dave started a LSAT prep course in Salt Lake City and rode the shuttle down and back every Saturday.

- Greg got married so we went to UT for the ceremony and other festivities. We also went to California for those festivities.

- On the way to CA we stopped in St. George and stayed at my grandparent’s condo. That was really fun!
