WHEW!!

Life has been in fast-forward mode lately!
We have had quite a few visits from family lately, which we LOVE. Last week my sister Kayla and a couple friends spent the night at our apartment. It was fun to hang out with some fun teenagers. Kayla is one of the coolest girls around. I think I tell Dane that almost every single day. Now that Kayla is almost 18...ahh...we have become quite the friends. She is not such a little girl anymore, and that is freaking me out!
Last weekend Dane and I went to Josh and Kelli's apartment to watch conference. I had so much fun there. Needless to say, we play a two-and-a-half hour game of Settlers of Catan. I never thought it would end!! We were quite the competitive group! Those two have created a beautiful home, and I love to visit. They are two of our very favorite people. Kelli is one of the best sisters around! We wish the two of them the best.
Dane's brother Kade and his family are moving to Pocatello. Kade has stayed with a few times looking for jobs and apartments. Here is some great news: he just got a job on campus today--which equals incredible insurance and $5 credits for him. I couldn't be happier for him! He will be staying with us all next week, and I am stoked to have him around. Dane can't wait to have his brother semi-permanently in town. This will equal a LOT of golfing time for the two. They just can't seem to get enough of it. Golf is quite the addicting game though. I was trying to convince my co-worker that he should try golf...I mean....this guy is ATHLETIC. He would be great at golf. Maybe I will someday love golf as much as Dane does.
Hmmm....the search for a new apartment is still on. We are hoping to move on campus. It seems like the ideal area for us: close to our jobs, close to our schooling. We hope to hear back soon. This is exciting though--WE JUST GOT A SECTIONAL COUCH! It is going to be about the most comfortable couch ever.
I started my job at ISU last week. Shawnee also started the same day. I will admit that we have felt a bit lost at times, but we are so excited to get going. It is good to have eachother. Oh, and I am a Recruitment Specialist for Idaho State. I spent this last week on the road, going to college fairs in Idaho. It has been a CRAZY week. My feet won't work, and my voice won't work anymore. I have really enjoyed getting to know the other recruiters and lots and lots of students. My job is so exciting and so fun. I don't even feel like I am actually working!
Well, that's about it for the crazy life. I finally get to spend some time with Dane after this crazy week on the road, and I am happy to be home! Oh, and this is so silly, but I got to drive a suburban for the first time ever...we took a government vehicle across the state. I am growing up! Hope everything is well with all of you!
