Since the Wedding...

Our lives are super exciting. Since we've moved back to Rexburg after all of our wedding festivities we moved into our apartment and started full-time jobs all within a week. Maybe anyone who received a thank you note four months after our wedding now understands why that happened. Anyway, I started working as the secretary/receptionist for Austin's dad at his insurance company in Idaho Falls. Austin went back to what was only his part-time job before doing cleaning and restoration at ARS in Rigby. We moved into Galaxy Apartments (and despite what's probably going through your head right now they are not far, far away). We got a pretty good deal on them. They have two bedrooms and are pretty spacious compared to some of the closet-sized apartments we saw for the same price. They're a little older but they were just recently renovated. Score! We spent the first couple weeks utilizing all of our gift cards at Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond to get the stuff we needed for our apartment. We got integrated into our ward pretty quickly by being chosen to participate in The Newlywed Game for a ward activity right after we moved in (only fitting since we truly were newlyweds of only two weeks). Austin got called to be ward membership clerk and I was called to compassionate service. That's quite the task with how many babies and pregnant women there are in our ward. Our days usually consist of: waking up early, going to work for eight hours, coming home, eating dinner, watching Studio C on DVD, eating some more, and going to bed pretty early. We'll throw in going to the gym (mostly Austin), going to some dance rehearsals (mostly me), seeing friends, playing Phase 10, and watching superhero movies. We go to the temple once a week and take temple names my Aunt Sarah gave to us. It feels like we'll never run out which is a great blessing! All in all, we have a good time. Austin starts a new semester this week and will be going back to working part-time while taking 14 credits so he can get his academic scholarships. He's a superstar. I'll just continue to work full-time to help put him through school and keep myself busy. We're definitely in a transitional stage what with Austin still being in school and me working at a full-time job that has absolutely nothing to do with dance (but is still a great job!) but we're so blessed all the time with little things and big things happening in our lives.

Also, here are a few pictures of our apartment. Yay for home!
