But only so he could complete his internship for the Mormon Messages. I have a great job in Idaho and knew I probably wouldn’t be able to find a better one in the area so I moved in with Mel and Tom. David moved in with his parents.
We took turns visiting each other every weekend and I learned how to get rides to Utah by using the BYUI bulletin board.
David loved his internship and helped make some amazing videos like the recent Christmas message Look to the Light. They even started paying him halfway through. He made some great connections that will hopefully help him when he graduates and starts looking for a “real job”.
I enjoyed spending more time with Mel and her family. I learned how to make Christmas stockings and cook healthier. I also discovered how fun and entertaining FHE can be with two little kids like Ashlynn and Brogan around. (My favorite is when Melanie showed us a picture of Jesus and the Leper and Brogan said Jesus was with a Leprechaun. Then when asked what a leper is, Brogan again chimed in with “Isn’t it like a cheeta?” — Classic!) Thanks for the laughs and helping me find joy in the hard times!
David and I had a great Christmas together in which David received a special present:
Needless to say, we’ll probably have more pictures on the blog soon. He loves playing with his new toy. It’s a Canon 60D that can shoot HD video.
And… after resolving our differences (in location that is), we came to an agreement that we could move back in together. We found an amazing apartment for a great deal. It’s so much bigger than our last apartment (which wasn’t difficult to find since it was a studio apartment). Our manager paid us to paint our apartment and after spending two nights on the floor, David’s parents finally were able to bring us our bed. The rest of our furniture is still on its way. But we are so happy to be together again and will be posting more about our new adventures together soon!
