It's been a while...

I feel like I have been out of touch for a little while. I am just too tired to blog after working 9 hours a day and just want to do nothing :). Bad excuse I know. Not too much has been going on. Simon got a promotion at work- he has only been there for 6 weeks. I am a proud wife. He is now the Director of Programming. He likes it so far and it will be excellent for his grad school applications (for those of you who don't know he wants to do health administration). He plans on applying next fall. He is also thinking of joining the military after (they pay most of the schooling if you commit to 6 years -- plus we would love to live abroad again and they make it easy to do so).

As for me I am still plugging away at Qualtrics. They know I get bored and have down time so they gave me another executive to help. I will now be working with the Head of Marketing on top of my two current bosses (Head of Engineering and Co-Founder/President). My bosses are great, so I can't really complain and I got a bonus... which I didn't think I would because I only worked 6 weeks in the last quarter.

I also recently got called to be the 1st counselor in Relief Society. The President had a baby the day after I was called, so it has been a little crazy trying to figure everything out and do her stuff while she is out. Let's just say that doing the visiting teaching routes was not a spiritual experience. Ha. Oh well. I finally met with the 2nd counselor and secretary last night, so we got things all sorted and had a nice time chatting.

Last Saturday Simon and I finally got everything settled in our apt... including hanging up all the pictures. My sister Becky asked me to post photos of the apartment so hear goes...

Our front room

Bookshelf

My two paintings from NYC, a photo my brother Joe took, and a cool Egyptian painting I found at a yard sale (I am obsessed with Egyptian art)

My Noah picture and our Union Jack pillow (Simon gave it to me while we were dating)

Our calendar and schedule + a painting Kira did and my longhorn from my mission in TX

The middle painting is one my grandma did, the other two Rach bought me in NYC

My Van Gogh, Monet, and another one Rach bought be in NYC

The Living Christ

Beach themed bathroom

Our room... the one frame still needs a picture

My side

Simon's side (I still need to find him a lamp)

Love these curtains Kira made... a photo does not do them justice

In the entryway... a map I gave Simon as a wedding gift and both our family photos

By the entryway- the picture in the gold frame is one my grandma Irma painted of Honduras

My love

Wedding picture by the sink

Tablecloth

My favorite books on our bookshelf... just missing one for Wales and Germany- San Francisco is happening in October

I love our little apartment. It is small, but homey. We love it and our ward has been really great so far.
