Catching up

Once again I am way behind on our blog so I will do my best to catch up!  So school has once again started and we've been keeping quite busy. We took a day trip to Reno in January so that I could visit the Internship Director there and also so that we could explore the area in case we end up moving there.  We really liked the area and felt at home. It was weird to think that home was so far away.  The drive there was awful and so long.  The weather wasn't great going there but coming home it was, thankfully! There is really nothing to see except for the Nevada State Prison and the no hitchhiking signs because of the prisons. 

Downtown Reno was fun, kind of like a mini Las Vegas.  If it had been warmer we would've walked around more.  We did spend time driving around and looking at potential places to live.  It seems like a fun place to live and many locals told us there are lot of things to do!

We attempted to drive to Lake Tahoe but the roads were not good, obviously, and we were only going 20 mph, so we ended up turning around when we got to the top of the pass. 

We drove down to Carson City to check it out.  It seemed similar to Idaho Falls and we enjoyed it! It was about 30 minutes from Reno.

This is the view from our hotel room.  The University of Nevada Reno is off to the right, minutes from downtown and the Interstate.

 I am currently working on my internship application, which is due this Friday!! It has been so much work and I am so glad to be turning it in finally! I am applying for internships in Pocatello, Boise, Reno, and Las Vegas. We are hoping that we get one of them in Nevada, but we will see what the Lord has in store for us.  It's difficult to be patient when we have no idea what the future holds.  Whatever happens though we know that it is what we are supposed to do and where we are supposed to be. It will be about 2 months before we find out anything so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed until then. 

Kevin is taking IBC this semester and is really busy getting their business started up.  He also started working today and we are so excited!! He hasn't been able to find a job that fit his school schedule well, but a temporary position came up at one of his previous jobs and we are very grateful!! He has been so supportive of my internship and us moving wherever we get the chance and it's wonderful! He is so good to me, I'm one lucky wife!!

There isn't much else new with Kevin and I. We just hangout on the weekends and watch the Bachelor Monday nights!  We've also been going to the gym together and it's so fun to have something to do besides sitting around and watching TV.  Being healthy is important and I'm glad we both agree! We also received a new calling this past Sunday to serve together in the Institute presidency for the young married adults.  I had no idea they even had Institute for married people but we are excited! This will be a great experience and the best part is that we get to do it together!
