catch-up

So I am still not very good at blogging, forgive me.

Since my last post:

• We moved out
• We spent a week in Park City
• I turned 20
• We moved in to our new apartment
• I went to New York
• Steven went to California
• We started school
• Steven got a calling
• We've watched too much of The Office
• I went to the MUSE concert
• I had toe surgery 

Moving out was a hassle.  We realized we have WAAAAY too much stuff.  When we moved out, our new apartment wasn't ready for us to move into, so my parents were "thrilled" to let us store all our crap in their house.  Thanks to Steven's grandma, who let us use her time share, we had a wonderful week in Park City (even though Steven had to drive back to Provo everyday for tour team rehearsals).  We went shopping at the outlets, walked around Main Street, spent a lot of time in the hot tubs, took Nick on the Alpine Slide, and had birthday dinner with my family.  It was nice to take a week and just relax.  

When we got back, we had to try and fit all of our stuff, plus the new wedding presents into our apartment.  I  guess I was born with some of my dad's talent of packing things like it's a Tetris game, because I found a place for everything.  Our apartment is small (shoebox small), but cozy.  We are starting to really like it, as we have been putting up the last of our decorations.  Hopefully I will have some nice pictures to post soon.

The weekend before school started Steven traveled to California with the tour team to compete at Embassy Ball.  He was really nervous, but the routine went great! He loved getting to go to the beach and watch the BYU game with his friends all packed into one small hotel room.  I thought I was going to have to stay home that weekend, and be bored.  However, my parents surprised me by letting me go to New York with my sister and dad!! My dad had to go for some work meetings, and Emma kept asking if she could go because that was the week of her birthday.  My parents decided if I could fly with Emma we could both meet my dad in New York for a fun weekend! It was a blast!  We saw Chicago the musical, went all over Times Square, had delicious food, went to the top of the Empire State Building, went to the American Girl Doll Factory, saw the Statue of Liberty (don't blink), visited Rockefeller Center, got lost in Chinatown, bought black market goods, and took a trip to NYU.  It was such a fun trip!

All to soon Wednesday approached and we had to go back to school.  Back to perpetually tired and infinitely busy.  

I am taking a Spanish-American civilization class, Physical Science 100, the first section of the D&C, Spanish Teaching methods, Dance Teaching Methods, and Gold Bar Ballroom.

Steven is taking NOTHING.  Okay, not really, but he never has homework or class.  He is taking Gold Bar Ballroom, Dance Teaching Methods, a choreography class, a monetary theory class, and a business lecture.  Even though he doesn't have a big school load he is working 20 hours a week with American Express, as well as tutoring when ever he can fit it in.  He does so much to provide for our teeny family!

Recently Steven was called as Elder's Quorum secretary.  He gets to bring the roll every Sunday.  I am still "callingless."  But Kelli would tell me I am a visiting teacher (only because in her ward she is 1st counselor in the Relief Society, ask her how often she did visiting teaching before that calling).  

We don't really go out much because we have no time.  Mostly we spend time at my parent's house eating their food, watching TV, and using their printer.  We did go to the Riverwoods Chalk the Block festival with Kelli and John Lane (a friend from dance).  It was incredible to see what some people could come up with using chalk!!  We also had Sunday dinner and movie night with Laura and Keenan (more friends from dance).  We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends!

We have recently been spending all our "free" time watching The Office.  This is my first time, it will be Steven's fifth time.

I was lucky enough to get to see MUSE live in concert and then have toe surgery.  More details on those will be coming.

Well, that's really all.  Hopefully I get better at this blog thing!
