Update

Wow, we haven't updated this in a long time! Where to start...

March: we moved to a new apartment! It is like one block south of campus, $75 cheaper a month, and much higher ceilings. Our old apartment only had about 8' ceilings, so Ryan always felt like he was living in a tiny house (He could not see himself in the bathroom mirror because he was too tall). We also really like having windows! After we got our tax returns back, we decided to buy a scooter, which has now become our best friend! We get all sorts of perks for having a scooter. For example, we can ALWAYS get close parking spots, it is inexpensive to maintain, it saves the environment, and we get invited into super exclusive scooter-owner clubs! Unfortunately, someone backed into our scooter at a yard sale, cracking the frame. Fortunately for us, we did not have to pay for the repairs :)

April: I graduated college! Woohoo! My family got to fly out and we had lots of fun together! My last semester was really tough and I could not wait to be finished with school, but now I actually wish I was taking classes again. If only grad school were free...
May: I spent several weeks working for a company called eco scraps selling compost and potting mix at different Costcos. They are a local start-up company that makes nutrient rich soils from composted fruits and vegetables. They get expired fruits and vegetables that local grocery stores (whole foods, Costco, etc) would have thrown away and compost it, pretty sweet idea. I learned so much about gardening while I was working for them, but not really from trainings. It was more like I would try and talk to customers about their garden and try and recommend our product and they would ask me/tell me all kinds of things. Basically, I feel like we should start a garden since I have all of this new found knowledge, but we do not have a yard. I also learned that I do not like sales. I would tell Ryan (best salesperson I have ever met) my stories from work and he would laugh when I said things like "compost is not for everyone, so I only try and talk to people who are gardening or interested in gardening." Apparently when you have a great product, you have to convince EVERYONE that they need it, whether they have a yard or not. Ryan has been tearin' it up as a consultant for his company Kalood- He won an iPad for doing such a great job!
June: we got to go to North Carolina for a week vacation/ Reb's graduation! Luckily we decided to fly instead of drive across country so we got more quality time with the fam. We went to the beach, Bojangles, Cookout, bought matching Carolina shirts, etc. We watched HGTV and were inspired to redesign our whole house! We got to see Cailey/Stuart, Jenny McCoy, Megan, and Altesha and Elijah! Basically, Altesha is a babe and is the skinniest mom I know! Elijah is adorable! I wish I could have video taped him, the way he talks is so cute! We also celebrated our one year anniversary!

Currently Ryan is working at the Library and for Kalood (kalood.com, check it out) as well as finishing up a board game he made with his cousin! The game is called "Capital" and is about starting your own business and coming up with great ideas to get ahead. If you would like to play it, let us know!
After going to the beach, we became painfully aware of how pale we are, so we try and do a lot more outdoor activities! We have recently picked up tennis as a new favorite hobby! We even got pink tennis balls (1. to support the fight against breast cancer 2. so we don't get our tennis balls confused with everyone else's). We are going to stadium of fire!
