Still the best wedding cake I have ever had. Seriously. Cory and I are so excited that it's almost our first anniversary, not because we are celebrating our marriage, but because we get to eat the top! :)Tuesday, November 10, 2009
After 10 months.....

The winds of change turned out to be a tornado...
It all started with health insurance. With me not being covered by BYU anymore, it became essential for me to find a job with benefits. So it was with a heavy heart that I started looking for other places to earn my keep. You'd be surprised at how hard I had to look. Since I had never before applied to a job I didn't get, it was quite a different experience for me. But finally, I got an interview at Discover Card. It was the longest interview process of my life. Three hours. Not joking. But finally, I got an offer for Cardmember Assistance aka Collections. They just call it cardmember assistance to make it sound nicer. But hey, they pay me lots and have amazingly awesome benefits.
So I gave my two weeks to Maple Lake and started to get ready to start a new job. Living in Provo, the commute was going to be over an hour, since Discover is up by the airport, just off Bangerter. Therefore, we also started looking for apartments. We quickly found one we loved at Allegro Apartments right by Ikea, and put our Provo apartment up for rent. Not five minutes after we put it up on KSL, this guy calls and wants to see it. Um, okay. Way to be on top of things. But it turned out he came, he saw, he wanted. YAY! But he would like to move in on the first. Even bigger YAY! But we found this out Friday at five and the only day we had to move between then and the first was Saturday. Not so yay. Thanks to all the help we had from family, mainly Annika for packing up the kitchen and my mom for helping me know how to pack for reals, we were able to do it. After 15 hours of packing and moving non-stop (and I mean non-stop, we didn't even stop to eat until 9 that night) we were done. Whew.
Now we are just trying to settle back into the groove of things. We love love love our new ward, and we are really happy with where we live. Its close to the freeway, Bangerter, and of course, the parentals. Which is really nice for Sunday dinner. :)
