WE ARE OUT OF THE...

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE apartment that we had been living in for over the past year and a few months!!!!! Let me just clarify that the apartment may not have been SO bad if we did not have CRAZY (and that is an understatement) landlords. We have some big thanks to the amazing people who helped us move, clean, and the Vance's amazing parents who are letting us store pretty much all of our stuff in their house. Vance keeps reminding me that before he was married he could fit his life in the back of his jeep. I however feel that is an extreme exaggeration. For example his large and smelly ice hockey bag already takes up that backseat for the most part...

So anyway I haven't blogged in a long time, what's new? Vance and I are done with school!!! Christmas week was hectic with moving and family events. The snowstorms didn't help out the situation at all. I am pretty sure that we pick the WORST weeks to move. But we did it. Of course the day we were done with everything the snow decided to melt and the sun was out the whole time. Christmas eve and Christmas day was spent with The Bowmans and friends. It was great to spend time with everyone before we headed out.

We are now currently in Orem, UT. We arrived late last night and are staying with my wonderful parents. It is funny how they finally end up close to us and we are going to be moving further away. So we are going to enjoy the time relaxing, Vance will be interviewing, and helping around the house. Here are the potential areas that we may end up in : Dallas, TX Albany, NY Wichita, KS Seattle, WA Roy, UT. Vance has been given an offer from the company in Texas but he still has to fly out to New York and Kansas. So he is waiting for his on site interviews before making any decisions. The holidays have also slowed down the hiring process. We are hoping to know where we are going or be there by the end of Jan. Once Vance and I have made a decision on where we will be going I will then get my license to I can begin working!!! We are excited for what is to come.

Love you all!!! I tried to put the pictures on the bottom...

Interviews!!!

So just to update you all Vance left for Dallas, Texas early Sunday morning! He is interviewing with an engineering company called Lockheed Martin (spelling?!). I have no news as to how the interview went this morning! He is roaming in Texas and the bill will be outrageous if we talk. So later on tonight I will know more details. Keep us in your prayers that the right job will come along. I am getting really anxious with what is to come at the end of December! I know that the Lord will guide us as to where we are supposed to be. Love you all.

So I must thank you all for helping me out in my quest to meet John Paul, etc. The contest is ended and of course I have no clue who has won or anything!
My parents came up October 10-12. It was so much fun to have them up here. Friday night we went out to dinner and visited. Saturday morning we went to the Rexburg Temple. That was the first time Vance and I had gone through for a session and it was so neat to share that with my parents. Afterwards we went down the hill so I could show off the amazing school that I go to. Later that day I treated mom to a pedicure and I got my hair colored for a fashion show that evening. I then ran mom home where we ate some dinner and then I was off to school to get my model and myself ready for the fashion show! It was so neat to see everything come together. And more importantly it made me feel so great to share this with not only my parents but Vance, Devin, Andrea, and Grandma Bowman. I was a little bummed out that I couldn't sit next to Dad though! The looks on his face were priceless. Andrea was lucky enough to sit next to him and said that it was funny listening to his reactions. All in all it was a great night. The room was packed and it was just awesome! Mom and Dad left Sunday afternoon and so we were put back into normal life again!
Monday the 13th was our 2 year anniversary! The first part of the day Vance spent at school. He came home around 4pm and we were off. He blindfolded me and drove around town in circles. We finally ended up at the AmericInn. He got the most amazing room ever! We went out to eat at a Thai restaurant (it is so good) and then just spent time together the rest of the night. It was so simple but so great! I love you Vance!!!
So the end is in sight now! School will be over and done for the both of us in December. Vance has applied to a lot of different companies. He has interviewed with two in Texas and has another interview this week for a position in New York! As of now we have no clue where we will end up. Our new adventure will soon begin and I can not wait.
Heavenly Father has blessed us this past year so abundantly. I am so grateful for the love and support of family and friends. I know that I wouldn't be this happy without your love. I have to get going now but I will try to be better at updating!

Picture Update

This is twice in once night but I am on a role. When my best friend was coming out of the temple I had my camera ready to take pictures. After a few shots my camera beeped at me. My memory card was full. Later on I went through my pictures and discovered that I had pictures on my camera from ALMOST two years ago! So here are some pictures of last summer up until a couple of weeks ago!
