Today was... pretty normal. Went to school, went to an extra credit lecture, did work till 4.
Travis made dinner while I poured over 30 pages of grant proposal and requirements. It was actually pretty fascinating stuff. I wrote a bunch of questions in the margins. I am meeting with the head doctor over the grant on Monday (YAY for real jobs) Travis is just excited that I get to hang out with Doctors all the time because we always prove our points by citing "the doctors" and now my citations will seem way more legit.
Travis made 2 delicious from scratch pizzas. Yeah he even made the dough. They were delicious. I wish I had taken a picture because he was so giddy!
After, I fell asleep for an hour and a half. whhhhaattt? haha Travis had a stake basketball game and then rushed home to catch up on the BYU/Gonzaga game, which we won! WOOT! I did the dishes while he was gone since he cooked. I then did some work while watching the game.
I also got a call from the CEO of my new company discussing some details. They are sending me an official offer today :) REAL JOB. AH!

The day was a bit crazy. I left around 8am for the frontrunner. Got to work and told my co-workers that I was leaving and about my new job. It was kind of sad. I had to reiterate the fact that I still had 3 months there! I worked on a couple of projects and left around 3:30 to head back to provo.
My interviewer from Orca emailed me last night to ask if I could actually start working this week. I was a little hesitant because I have so much to do to get ready for this job (mostly organizing my other jobs) but I said yes. YIKES. I have started emailing one of the doctors I will be working with on an NIH grant. My assignment is to get familiar with the grant until Monday when we meet and discuss my roles and responsibilities.
I came back to attend an event put on by BYU's Social venture academy where my team won the highest prize for the Best Idea Competition with our MoveWell project. This is exciting cuz we can move forward with the process knowing that they like our idea!
Then I went running with my friend Megan, much needed since I haven't run in like 2 weeks and hadn't seen Megan in that long! Travis got free dinner at an engineering things so I made myself an asian chicken salad with Yoshida's sauce. If you haven't tried this stuff you need to, It's the most delicious sauce ever. You can buy it at costco. Yum!
In celebration of the Olympics I watched a documentary on Netflix that went through the Tanya Harding/ Nancy Kerrigan Debacl of the 1994 Olympics. FASCINATING. Tanya to this day denys having anything to do with the attack... I can't decide if I think she did or not. She definitely had a huge reason too, you can still tell from her interviews that she hates and envies Nancy, still. Yikes.

Today was a day like any other. I went to school and worked for 5 hours. Then came home and worked while I watched a movie with Travis (Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters). He left for his soccer game a little before 6 while I was making delicious taco soup.
My assistant for my church calling came over and we talked about what we should do for next weeks activity with the relief society children. I think the plan is to teach them about vegetables :) I am gonna bring veggies to look at, taste, coloring pages, play a game about it, and maybe even some type of song! STOKED.
After she left Adrienne came over and ate dinner with me while we watched the bachelor. MMMmmm love us some DRAMA.

Things got a little crazy and I didn't post about this weekend. Already slipping behind. Yikes. Sunday Travis and I got to teach the sunbeams for our landlord. There were 6 three year olds in our class and boy was it a fun experience.
There was a boy and a girl who we decided are in love. The little boy cried when she wasn't sitting in the seat next to him, and they kept having side conversations. haha another little boy was super smart and answered all of the questions in class but could not sit still to save his life. Another little boy had the biggest lisp and was hard to understand but it made him that much more adorable.
We taught a lesson on the holy ghost in 5 minute increments with coloring, games, singing and snacks in between each segment of the lesson. At one point the kids were getting out of control so Travis leaned over to me and was like what do you think will happen if I speak in Spanish to them. He stood up and started monologueing. At first the kids looked shocked, then they all started giggling and one kid looked at me and was like he's speaking Spanish!
After church we went over to the Sievers for dinner and played with our nieces. We came home and watched a movie, because monday was a holiday so we didnt have to get up early! woohoo!
Monday we played tennis with travis family. Half way through my stomach started killing me so I didn't get to enjoy it too much. After we went home and Travis grocery shopped and made dinner while I did some work.
We went to the mall to try to find me a briefcase and exchange the shirt I bought him for Valentines day. We still didn't get me a briefcase cuz it turns out the University mall kind of sucks when it comes to stuff like that. I am planning to look at city creek. I promised myself a long time ago that I would buy myself a really nice briefcase when I got a full time job and that day has come!
We then went to the chocolate to get a cazookie. Good way to celebrate President's Day!

It got to almost 60 degrees today!!! :) we definitely took full advantage.
The day started out with our weekly yoga, Travis did way better than me this week, I blame not exercising all week cuz of sickness ;) then we deep cleaned the house while listening to the interestingly extensive music gallery of google (a little backstreet boys, nsync, and glee haha)
We went on a beautiful bike ride on the trails near our parents houses. We went around pointing out house styles we liked or disliked. Then I went on a run with my mom which was a lot of fun.
After we got some food (He wanted Chinese and I wanted Mexican) so we went our separate ways to pick it up and took it home to watch the byu game. Then Travis went back to Orem for his soccer game.
It's been an incredibly active day! I am still trying to get used to the new job idea. Gah!!!
