Our New Home



Here are a couple of pictures of our new Apartment. It's still a work in progress but it looks a lot better than it did a couple of days ago. We made the long drive to Pennsylvania on August 25th. It took us 3 days to get there. (Thanks Matt for the tip about the rolling sagebrush...definitely not to be missed...it was definitely the most exciting thing we saw along the way.) Once we got to Pennsylvania we camped out for a couple of days until all of our stuff got there. (It's so nice to sleep on a mattress again...still haven't quite gotten over it!) Jeremy started his new job as a building consultant for Sustainable Solutions Corporation last Monday and he is loving it so far. It seems like the perfect job for him. I recently got a job at the Reading Hospital on the labor and delivery unit. We feel really blessed that I was able to find a job so quickly because it's a tight job market for nurses here as well as in Provo. Although both of us miss being in Provo in the fall, we really like Pennsylvania a lot. Our new ward has been so nice, the area where we live is beautiful, and there's a lot to do nearby. We're going to try to take little trips on the weekend as much as we can.
We took our first little trip to Valley Forge National Park last weekend. It's only a couple of miles from our Apartment. We plan to visit Amish Country and Gettysburg in the next few weeks.
