January Happenings

To quickly sum up what we've been up to:

We are still waiting to hear back on Ph.D programs. We are really hoping to get into Clemson, SC. We've even found a great apartment complex to live (10 minutes out of the city, home to other graduate students, technically town-homes so there are no upstairs neighbors!!!! I'm very excited about this possibility.) If we get accepted, another post will be written on the details.

I have just been offered a position at doTERRA! It's exciting. I've also been contemplating getting training as a phlebotomist or another clinical science. Needless to say, I've been spending a lot of time sprawled on the floor, working on things. Garrett decided to record it.


In news this week (the panic section) I lost our mail key. After fruitless hours of retracing footsteps, sweeping leaves, going through the recycling and garbage, we gave up. Fortunately our landlord had a copy (which is probably illegal) and charged us only $10.00, as opposed to the $40.00 the post office would have charged. Whew! Clearly we aren't too concerned about our mail being stolen.

We've tried to be better about blogging...

Complete with goofy pictures...

We had a romantic dinner: Napkin folding talent goes to the illustrious Garrett.


And built a fort in the living room.

 To be honest, Garrett was the mastermind. I mostly stood around and took pictures and applauded his creativity. Oh. And I grabbed our books and chocolate.



 Books of choice: Sherlock Holmes spin-offs. I would HIGHLY recommend this series if you want an integritous Irene Adler with a lot of fun historical faction.
 Chocolate!



The other morning I woke up to find this:

I followed the foot prints to a mysterious letter....

And discovered an invitation by my eternal manfriend to the Valentine's Dance hosted by our Stake!

He's a pretty great eternal manfriend!

Interject the pretty great eternal manfriend:

I have a really great eternal womanfriend. Here was her cute and tasteful reply to my invitation to the Y-ball.  This lovely note was accompanied by hearts all over my pillow and some tasty treats.
