Houston or Bust

We've accepted an offer in Houston! We are so excited to go. I feel like the opportunity to go to Houston was just so random and unplanned that there's probably a reason we're going there. I've never been there before and Daniel has only been there for a day and half for his interview. So it will fun to explore a new place and meet new people. And hopefully we will have lots of great experiences to write about.

Relief

Well it's official, we will be going to Texas in January. Daniel got an internship offer in Houston! I'm so proud of him! We haven't accepted yet, because he still has an interview in Dallas next week. So, if we don't get Dallas, we will go to Houston.

Way to go Daniel, I love you!

Happy Halloween

So It's been over a month since my first (and last) post because, well I just did't feel worthy to write more. I read other blogs that are interesting and fun...and well, there's not much that is fun and interesting about our life right now.

Emily goes to work every day. Daniel goes to school every day, and sometimes he goes to work. The end.

Not a page turner.

Actaully the most exciting thing right now is that Daniel is in Houston interviewing for an internship. He has another interview in Dallas in a couple of weeks. It will be a great relief when all this interviewing is over and we finally know where we'll be and when we'll be there!

It is Halloween today, and I DID dress up...as Minnie Mouse. My co-workers are trying to convince me to go pick up Daniel from the airport dressed up...but I'm not so sure if Daniel wouldn't deny knowing who I am.

About Us

So, I've finally succumbed to the blogging bug. Basically I figured that blogging seemed like the most logical way to keep both our families updated on the happenings in our lives, especially as we prepare to move away for an internship in the near future.

The other week we were asked to speak in church and to introduce ourselves because we're new. So I had a little fun with that. Here's the little ditty I wrote about Daniel, though I didn't actually use most of it, it was still fun to write.


Daniel and I met last September in the Lakeridge 11th single’s ward and started dating the following month—he committed the unpardonable sin and asked me out on Facebook. But since I’m such a magnanimous person, I pardoned him and we went out. We got married on August 2 of this year and are living happily ever after. Daniel grew up in American Fork as the oldest, and cutest (sorry Mathew, Curtis and Michael) of 4 boys. He served in the Indianapolis, Indiana Mission where he learned to speak English. He studied at UVSC for several years in Computer Science, but decided that was too geeky; so he’s going to be an Accountant instead – because that’s only nerdy. So with 100 credits in his pocket he transferred to BYU and became the oldest person in his class. He is currently in his first year of the Master’s of Accounting Program and well, at least he’ll graduate before he turns 30. He enjoys food and YouTube and food and trying anything at least once, and sometimes twice just to make sure he really didn’t like it the first time. Pretty much he’s kind and brilliant and handsome and losing his hair. But most of all he has amazing eyes and a killer smile. And all of that is why I love him.

And then there’s me. I grew up in Tallmadge Ohio the 8th of 9 children. I graduated high school and moved to Utah to attend BYU. After my junior year of college I took a hiatus to serve a mission in Daejeon, South Korea where I also learned to speak English; and a little bit of Korean. Following my mission I came back to BYU to finish my senior year in Marketing Communications. For the last few years I have been working full-time in Benefits and HR administration and waiting for the love of my life to come along—worth every minute of the wait by-the-way. I enjoy reading and running and painting and lots of other things.

There is of course lots more to both of us, but I guess that's what this blog is for...us to explore ourselves and for you to be entertained by it...hopefully.
