Quickie

Alright....so a bit of an update.

  • We are graduated- YAY!
  • I am now working at the same accounting firm I did both my internships at. I have my own office, and am as busy as ever!
  • Clay got a job at Wells Fargo Financial. It is a great job! We are way excited. He starts on August 17th. (BTW- he wont be working at a BANK- it's like a financial services office...he'll be meeting with clients and stuff)
  • We are house sitting for a councilor in the bishopric in our ward. For 12 days. They have a dog, who we are tending to.
  • We are probably going to move this week. Clay showed our house to a bunch of people today, a lot of them wanted it...
  • We are going to move into Clay's parents house. Why?
  • We are house shopping! We are going to look at a ton of houses until we have seen them all, and then hopefully find a great one, and move in!
  • We both work in Idaho Falls (20-30 minutes away), and so it's kinda smart to move in with Clay's parents, who live in Idaho Falls- and save some extra money until we find a house...which hopefully won't be too long- because we are planning on getting it by November...so that we can get the 8000 tax credit!

THAT in a nutshell, is what we've been up to. I've felt a bit lost lately...knowing I'm done with school. It's been such a huge part of my life for so long...I kinda feel like I have no purpose now.

My mom and dad got me a wheat grinder for graduation- and wheat- I am SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED! Clay's parents gave us money- we are looking for tires for our cars. That's the nice thing about living in Idaho- you CONSTANTLY have to be buying tires for winter and such. They're expensive- so it'll be a huge relief to not have to pay for them.

love you all!

Holy camole. All the sudden you're more grown up than me. A house, real jobs? So cool. Smart moving in with Clay's parents. I can relate- though I wish it were 'cause we were house shopping! Holy cow! Real life! That's great!

Lots going on, and so exciting. I went house hunting with brooke and nate when they were looking and it was so much fun! I loved looking at the houses and imagining what I would do if it were mine. So exciting! I can't wait for you guys to buy ahouse and then we'll visit and stay. congrats on everything- and why haven't you blogged about the bachelorette yet? love you-

yeah, I'm with amy...i love your updates on the bachelorette.

So excited about your wheat grinder, but very bummed that you are spending your grad money on tires. I guess it's nice you have the money to pay for them. right?

love you both.

So does this mean that you are staying in Idaho? I love you and I am so happy for you that things are coming together for you. I think it is a smart move to get a house and stay with Clay's folks for awhile. You will love having your own place. Take good care and we are thinking of you Love grams
