Update in a nutshell!

I have been terrible about updating my blog this summer, but here's the latest update on my life!  I got a job with ChildServe, a non-profit in Des Moines.  I will be working with children with special needs in the respite department.  I'm excited for the opportunity to work there from August until May when I will be moving to Omaha.


We also had a great time at the Martin family reunion on July 26th, seeing family we hadn't seen in a while.  Aunt Vonda and Uncle Jerry also generously let us go through some things in their basement, and we happily took them off their hands for our new apartment!


Ryan took the bar exam last week, and is super relieved to have it done and over with!  In about a month and a half he'll find out how he did.  I'm confident he passed with flying colors!


Ryan and I went to Omaha this past Friday to go apartment hunting.  We found a nice one-bedroom on the west side of Omaha for Ryan and Sulley (and then me) to live.  He'll move at the end of August.  We're excited to see our friends Shelley and Chris who live in Omaha much more often!


Ryan just started his new job yesterday, and will be working and training in Iowa until September.


We are having a pre-engagement photo session with our photographer, so I might have some photos to share here pretty soon.  In the meantime, here are a couple adorable pictures of my little nephew Tavian we got taken a few weeks ago.

Kels!

First, Tavian looks just like your brother!! I can't believe it! He is adorable :) And growing so quickly, too!

Second, we are THRILLED that Maggie and Sulley can become friends and that we get to spend time (especially weekends) with you and Ryan!! I am going to cry because I am so excited for you to be moving out here in just 10 months!! It will fly by!!

Third, I am excited to hear about your internship. You will have to let me know how you like it -- I've heard of ChildServe before -- I hope it goes great! When do you start?

Miss you and see you soon!!
