We're here!

Well we made it to Omaha! It was about a 16 hour drive and we stopped in Cheyenne the first night and arrived Friday afternoon.

We love our apartment here. It sits on 18 acres of land all of which looks like a forest. Everything is so green and gorgeous. The apartment complex is Sherwood Forest Estates and we live on Little John Circle. We asked about the Robin Hood reference, but no one knew the story behind it. There seems to be lots of things to explore out here. Lot's of parks and lakes as well as the cool zoo and different historic sights. It should keep us busy for awhile.

My job is going well. I transferred to the Bed Bath and Beyond out here. It's pretty similar to the store in Logan, so that made the transfer easy. And it looks like I will be getting a full time position that just opened up. I'll know all the details next week. For now I'm working 40 hours without the benefits, but if I do get the full time position that will change. It's just nice to have a job and be making some money.

Lincoln is on the job hunt. We're hopeful something will turn up soon. He's spent the last week at home unpacking and getting things set up. It's nice to have him around. I think I'll keep him for awhile!

The med school update:
He's got three interviews all at D.O. schools. His first one is Thursday in Des Moines. I took the day off and we're driving up in the morning. His interview goes all day, so I'm going to explore the city. His second interview is in Denver in the first part of October. And his third one is in Chicago at the end of October. We're excited and I'll update more as things come up.

We haven't met much of the ward yet. The missionaries and a few other people helped us unpack the moving vehicle on Saturday. Sunday was steak conference, so we didn't get a chance to meet anyone yet. Everything is pretty close though, the church building is only ten minutes away and the Winter Quarters Temple is only fifteen minutes.

We feel very blessed to be here and everything is falling into place. We are having so much fun. We can't wait for everyone to come visit us.

Oh and I will be posting pictures. I'm struggling with trying to get them downloaded.

Changing Blog URL

I found out how to change my blog URL. Because this is now a joint blog (with lincoln and myself) the new blog address will be:
trincoln.blogspot.com
instead of buttercup22.blogspot.com.


I will be making this change on the 25th. After this date buttercup22.blogspot.com will no longer exist so make sure you change it.
