Updates!

I honestly have meant to post a lot sooner, but our schedules got a little busy and so blogging got pushed back on the to do list. But here are some of our more exciting recent events...

Matt has a new work schedule! This may not sound like the most exciting news to some, but I am so happy! For the past 6 months he hasn't been getting home from work until pretty much 9 o'clock every night, but his new schedule lets him be home by 7:30 and I am loving it! We actually get to eat dinner together now!

Also exciting:

I got a new job! Well, actually it's a payed internship, which is maybe more exciting for me. I'm still a TA down in Provo until June 16, but in addition, I will be working at the Church History Museum for a year long internship in their Education Department. I'll be full time during the summer and then down to part time once school starts in the fall. This opportunity has really been a major blessing for Matt and I and I'm so grateful and excited! I started this past Monday, finishing my first week there yesterday and I can't begin to explain how nice and welcoming everyone has been. I'm also grateful to be working somewhere where I will be given some real responsibility on projects that mean something (apart from those awful fluff internships I've had before...). 

Also, I am the new voice of recorded information for the museum's front desk, which I will be updating regularly throughout the year. This is completely silly, but I have always wanted to be the voice of a significant voice mail. I really think the recording makes me sound like a 12 year old, but I also kind of like the idea that people will hear my voice when they call the museum for information:) Please don't judge me.

Maybe the most exciting news is that Matt and I just returned home from our first vacation together. We went to St. George for a long weekend and it was one of the best trips I've ever been on. (Also probably the most time we've been able to spend together since we've been married - depressing) I'll provide photos in an upcoming post!
