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.
Okay, did you really carve your initials into a tree? Haven't you seen Ferngully? Can't you feel the tree's pain?!
ReplyDeleteYour new apartment is so cute! I love it. Great job with the decor. I bet that fall will be so beautiful in Pennsylvania...you'll have to take some pictures of that to put on! Looks like you are already having fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Melody--I don't know you yet, but how did you get that job? My husband and I are in the Valley Forge 1st ward with nursing degrees. We just graduated in August, and we can't find jobs anywhere in PA. It is very discouraging!
ReplyDeleteHey guys, we're glad to hear that you're settling into life on the east coast, and congrats on your successful jobs!
ReplyDeleteWow I didn't know you were making such a big move, that is exciting. Glad you have a blog now we can keep in touch, probably better than when you were close:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Melody! Sorry this is a little late, but I hope the East Coast gave you a good one :) Will you be up there for Thanksgiving?
