Okay, so summer is not really over, but when you have two and a half weeks till you move to the land of snow (a.k.a Rexburg) then it feels like summer is over. Our summer has gone by so fast! It's hard to believe we are moving soon, and hard to believe Andrew is graduating in TWO SEMESTERS!!!! :) An update on how we are doing:
Andrew has been working hard cutting hay, baling hay, and whatever jobs come up in between. It's been an up and down summer with his hours, but we managed. :) There have been some late nights followed with early work in the morning, and it's hard for me to have him gone so much. There was a time I saw him a total of one waking hour over a four day period. Talk about difficult!! It's been a bittersweet summer, knowing that this is most possibly his last summer with McIntyres. As with any college graduate, you hope to have a "grown up" job within your major. Hopefully Andrew will be able to find a job next summer. McIntyre Farms have been such an amazing job for Andrew, and such a big help since we've been married. They are an amazing family to work for, and they have grown to be our friends as well as employers.
I have been working with Community Partnerships of Idaho, a developmental disability agency for children, teens, and adults. I had the opportunity to be the teen group leader, which consisted of developing calenders for the group, carrying out the activities, and ensuring quality therapy is happening on a consistent basis. I have made some wonderful friends among my colleagues, and am sad to be leaving such a fantastic company! I've also been trying to get into better shape by exercising more and trying to eat better. I have been going on a 5, sometimes 5.5, mile bike ride every morning the last three or four weeks. It's starting to work and I'm seeing my "problem area" start to decrease. :) Hopefully it will continue!!
We will be moving to Rexburg around the 21st, into a one bedroom apartment. Sounds small, but after living with 7 other people in a small house for four months, it will be wonderful to be in our own place!!! We're excited to start the last leg of our college journey, and look forward to being grownups!!! :)
