So a couple of things that have been going on lately...
We got our $2000 deposit back from the house we thought we were going to buy. This was a big deal because the people selling the house only wanted to give us $1000 back (long story), but we weren't agreeing to it! After a while, the house finally sold and the holding company had to give us our money back, but we didn't know we were going to get the full amount! We thought they might take out fees for holding it for so long... So that was awesome!
Some more good news is that I GOT AN INTERNSHIP WITH MERRILL LYNCH!!! It is unpaid, but I get school credit for it (3 credits). So, not only is it a great opportunity, it's great to put on my resume when I graduate, and I don't have to sit in a boring class and take tests!!! That's probably the most exciting part right now! haha. I have to have 150 hours by the end of the semester, which is about 12 hours a week - not bad. So on top of taking 12 other credits (4 classes), working about 12 hours a week (which isn't much, but that's all that fits my schedule), and doing my internship about 12 hours a week, my workload is full! I also teach CTR 4 (4 year olds turning 5) at church and am on a committee to help plan the montly ward date nights! AHH!! I'm kindof going crazy with all the stuff I have to do all the time! I don't even have time to get a haircut! haha. I just take one day at a time, though! Only 4 months left of the craziness until I graduate!!!!
We did find time in our crazy schedule to take a trip to South Carolina, and it was so fun! When we signed up with T-mobile a little more than a year ago, they had a deal going for buy-one-get-one-free flights for each line added. So, Dave and I had 2 of those, and Dan and Danielle had 2 (they got the same deal). So we were able to buy 8 tickets to fly for the price of 4. Since we only had 6 people that could go (Steph and Darren went too), we all took a weekend trip there. It was such a carefree, dramafree weekend! I just wish it would've been warmer!! I'll have pictures up soon!
I got to see Lion King with my In-N-Out group last night. We reached some goal we set or something...Anyways, it was so good! I recommend it!
Dave signed us up for this thing called "House Seats". Basically you pay like, $90 for 2 people for a year and you become "seat fillers" for shows. Last week we saw Fitz of Laughter (a comedy show), and tomorrow night Dave and I are going to see Blue Man Group! We are trying to be more exciting and do things together as a couple. With this thing, we are able to do that, plus save money doing it, which we love!!!
Sorry, there are no pictures this post. I'm at school with no pictures on my computer...wait...
There you go!!!

Great Post! The pics are an awesome touch and so Stephy!
I love you Steph. Your post made me laugh, smile, and be really happy for you two! Congratulations on your internship...what an awesome opportunity. What will you be doing there? Yeah on getting all your $$ back and getting the cool show pass! Sounds like a lot of fun. I also love the fact you are teaching CTR 4 class...I'd love to see you in action.
STEPH! It sounds like everything is going so great for you guys! Congrats on the internship. Also, I'm totally jealous about all the cool shows you'll get to see! I'm hoping that someday soon I'll take a little weekend trip to Vegas & I'll have to hang out with you!! :)
Stephanie--You are so much fun!! You and Dave make your own fun!! Loved the sign so much--I just started laughing! I would also like to see you teaching 4 year olds--bet you are good at it, but I'm afraid I would just sit in the corner and giggle watching you.
