fall 2019

Hello my beautiful people~ (I have been watching too much youtube recently). I can't believe fall has come and gone. It was a beautiful season in Utah. Kind of weird to think it starts in like 90 degree weather and now it is low as 20 degrees! It is pretty weird living in Utah - I like it but it is just so weird that I am actually here. I just had lived in Rexburg for so long that I am like what do I even do here. It probably doesn't help that we live with my sister and so it's hard for us to establish our own place and friends. But really living with them is way better than I thought it would be. We share meals and it is so nice because I don't have to cook every night and we get a lot of variety of food too. We babysit and help with the kids pretty often too. Good thing they are so cute. And it is great because we are saving money, our rent is really cheap for Utah. We get the whole downstairs. I think it is bigger than our old apartment. We are planning on staying here until Ethan starts school in Utah.

So I have just been figuring out what the heck I am supposed to do here in Utah. My first couple of months here was just trying to find a job. I finally found an internship at 97th floor in Lehi. It is the best! It's part-time though but at least it is paid! I have a lot of great benefits there too. I started my 401k plan ahhh. I get free night skiing there, passes to thanksgiving point, and top golf. We went to their company Christmas party and it was so nice! The people I work with are awesome. So it is a digital marketing agency, I started doing more content work and now I am learning SEO and it's awesome! I have done so many certifications and just soaking in all the information. I would love to be a social media marketer for a local business here. My internship ends January 31st so I am already looking for a job. Ethan quit BlitzMetrics finally and is working at the new facebook sight in Eagle Mountain! He takes the car and so luckily I work right next to brian and he drives me. Ethan finished his last final for school last night! hallelujah! We are trying to save up for more schooling! It never ends I swear. Tomorrow we leave for Saint George to be with Ethan's family for Christmas and I am pumped!

We got called as sunbeams teachers and it is interesting to say the least. Haha they do not understand anything and so we just talk and color and sing songs and watch videos. Some of the kids aren't even three yet and some have autism. We went to Seattle for Thanksgiving and it was way fun! It was really good to be with family. We drove the whole way with everyone...it took longer with kids but it actually wasn't that bad. We have the Ikon pass for skiing and so it's been fun already going down all the different ski resorts! We love skiing. We also have been rock climbing a lot. Ethan has a membership and I get in free a lot from him. I can't think of any more updates so i'll just share a list of random things our fall has contained:
