We figured being far away from everyone now that we might as well jump on the blogging bandwagon (especially with recommendations from Dorsey :) ). Its been a little tough being so far from our friends and family, and the hope is this might help all of us connect a little better.
We've had a very fun summer, and for me it is now starting to drag on! With all the trips we made we were very well taken care of and had a blast. It was hard to say goodbye at the end to my family and our former lives in Utah, but we are (obviously) in great anticipation of the Baby's arrival this winter! Unfortunately neither Jared nor I have found jobs yet, bummer, but we're still looking. I'll probably just do work for a temp agency and Jared has a few better looking prospects.
Living here has been a very comfortable experience, but there are a lot of things I miss about Provo. The main thing is having our own little apartment and actually having a busy life! There aren't many young couples in our ward so making friends has been tough too. Just last week I met two young moms, both have two kids, but they are at least 10 years older than me. Its not that I necessarily mind, but I worry they might! I just wish I had at least one person my age who was like me!!
Enough complaining though, we've had a pretty good time here. I've started stocking up on baby clothes, and preparing a sort of makeshift nursery, the best you can when you live in someone else's house. We'll have plenty of room for him when he comes :)
