I painted my first room today. I think it turned out pretty good and now I'm thinking of colors to paint everything else. I think I want to do the living room next. The bed room only took a few hours, but the living room has much more wall space so it will take longer. I just have to decide on a color.

Our New Place

So we found our new apartment and it's going to be great! I took some pictures when I went by there today and it's beautiful! Well, it's not really done yet. They are still doing some painting and stuff... but you'll get the idea of it. It's right in downtown Dallas across the street from the Police Headquarters (where Josh will be working), and just about 10min from Children's where I'll be working. Everything is just falling into place for us here and we're pretty happy about it.

Russia Kids!

A few of my girls from Russia came on a USA trip with ILP. I was so excited to see them. They have gotten so big! They are like little people now! Sveta looks so grown up, Sonya has all her teeth now, and Paulina... well, she still looks like she doesn't brush her hair but she is at least a foot taller! Just seeing them brought back so many memories of my time in Russia. I could listen to them speak in Russian and not have to say, "NO RUSSIAN. Speak English!" Gulia was there to keep them in line. We were able to catch up on life a bit, and Gulia tried to talk me into coming back as a head teacher with Josh. I don't think that will be happening, but it was fun to see them here.

Mom and Noni visit!

My mom and Noni came to visit us in Provo. It was the first time either of them had spent time here so we had to go see the sites around here. We went to Salt Lake and saw Ray, and went to temple square. Beautiful! And at our apartment weate chocolate fondu. It was so nice getting to spend some time with them and let them get to know Josh better. It wasn't very eventful, but it was still a nice visit!

Graduation Day!

Well, it's a slow Saturday here at work. But I can't complain. It's a cold rainy/snowy day and there's no end in sight. But I'm excited about moving. Only two more weeks in our dungeon and then we're moving up and out! It will be sooo nice to have some extra space AND a washer and dryer! And we are both looking forward to Josh's graduation which is in about 3 weeks. And with my fam visiting in May, there's a lot to look forward to.

Winter Wonderland

It's officially freezing. This last snow storm was just rediculous! We still have huge snow piles all over the parking lot. I don't think I'll ever get used to all this snow. I guess I'm just a summer girl at heart. It sure is pretty though.
