We have officially settled into our new home here in Spokane. And yes, it became official because we had our very first Friday Night Pizza Bash last night with a bunch of new friends. It was complete with YouTube videos and all. It's like we never left (minus the fact that there was no family among the crowd... Sad!). There are two other law school couples that live on the floor above us: Paige and Nick and Destiny and Chase, and a cute little family in the next building over: Hillary, Peter, Atticus, and Beau. We also met Kelsie and Josh who live down the road a ways. We have had lots of fun so far, and we have a whole 3 years to have even more!Jaren has already been hitting the books hard. I am so proud of how hard he is working and I am always amazed at how smart he is. It is 10:00 am on Saturday morning and he has already been out playing basketball at the church and now is down at the school studying again! I can tell he is going to do great at law school! Look out Gonzaga!
I have been job searching for the past two weeks since we got here, and finally found a job! I am secretly nervous but I am excited to have something productive to do to keep me busy! The job is at a care center downtown just west of Gonzaga and it is called North Central Care Center. I'll keep you updated on how it goes!! I start orientation on Monday at 7am. Wish me luck!
The move up here went surprisingly well. Loading the moving truck was quick thanks to Jaren and Dalyn my moving men! We got the truck around 9:00 am and by 10:45 we were on the road! The drive was smooth, uneventful, and yes.... pretty long and boring. But we both had books on tape to keep us company! We spent the night in Missoula Montana and then drove the rest of the way the next morning. Unloading the truck was pretty quick too and was even better because Nick was SO nice to help Jaren unload the big furniture. We are loving our apartment. At first, I was in love with little things like having outlets, fans, cabinets, and drain plugs in the bathrooms. I also have REALLY enjoyed having a washer and dryer, diswasher, and garbage disposal!! 
We miss everyone back in Utah so much! We love seeing pictures of our nieces and nephews, even though they are just growing up too fast without us! I am sad to be missing Dalyn's cross country and Kennady's volleyball seasons! Kiley started the second year of nursing school yesterday (jealous much....? YES!!) and Kennan got a good score on the GRE for his grad school! Way to go! Kaitlyn and Nelson are settling in to their new home and having a blast together! My mom is workin' hard like always! It was fun to hear about Jay and Jeri Dell's fun trip back east and about some good news in the Ethington family! We loved seeing Kate the Kitty Cat Princess and Marin on her first day of school! We love you and MISS you all! Hopefully we will get to see you around Christmas time!
