The Hunt Is Over

I am pleased to announce that our search for an apartment is now over. We have a place to go, and it's even early enough that we can still go to Washington for Christmas. I have to say it's amazing how the Lord works. About 2 minutes after I prayed this morning and asked for help in finding an apartment soon, I got the call saying we had been approved, all we needed to do was get the deposit to her. I called my parents afterwards and she told me that all week she had been praying, asking that we would find an apartment this week. This morning when she prayed, she told the Lord "Today is Saturday, the last day of the week!" A few minutes later is when I got the call. About an hour after I signed the contract, I got another call from a girl in our ward who is managing an apartment complex and told me she had an available apartment that she wanted to give to me before posting it online. I told her thanks but that we'd already signed somewhere else. I just think it's funny how options throw themselves at us after weeks of nothing.

So we will be moving next week, Thursday and Saturday. (Thursday we're moving our big furniture with my uncle's trailer, and Saturday we're moving the rest). The apartment is two bedrooms, and utilities are all paid for. What's also cool is that we are taking over someone else's contract, so it ends in February. This contract is $55 cheaper than the current price for getting new contracts there. Also, since we will be on an old contract one February comes around, they will pretend like we're the ones who have been there awhile so our new contract will only be $10 more instead of $55. YAY!

So pictures will come later, once we get all settled and things, so it may be awhile. But you can still look forward to those.

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...

Cake 2.0

Here is our second attempt at fondant covered, decorated cake. We're still working on getting things smoother looking and stuff. It's a chocolate cake with caramel filling. Unfortunately the caramel didn't turn out quite like it was supposed to. It turned into basically sugar. It's probably because I was lazy and used margarine instead of butter. But it's still sweet and that's what's important right?

Going Away Present

Tomorrow is going to be my last day of work at good old Independent Study. It's kind of sad, but also kind of exciting and scary all at the same time. It's sad because I've been here for so long. This is the longest I've ever had one job, and I have made a lot of really good friends here. It's exciting because I will get to have a lot of time off to do whatever I want during the day! And it's scary because I don't have another job lined up yet. After 6 months of applying and interviewing, I'm still none the better for it. I was lucky enough to have one co-worker who cared enough about me and my departure to give me a going-away present. I don't really know why I'm sharing it with you, but here it is: This is the picture he used as a reference to update mine with: Any resemblance? It took him two days to create this picture. He said I was wise enough to become a General Authority. I told him I would have to be a man for that. So he decided to mak...
