Happy Halloween Cupcakes

These are our "monster" cupcakes we made with the cups Tim's parents sent us in our Halloween package (thanks). Emily and Jeremy Webster helped us. Mine is on the far left followed by Emily's, Tim's and Webster's on the Right. They are pretty scary!

Scott's Wedding in DC

Tim's brother Scott got married to DeAnne Norton this past weekend in Washington DC. Tim and I flew out Friday morning and back Sunday afternoon. It was a short trip, but we had fun. DeAnne said she wanted to take most of the wedding pictures at the reception rather than at the temple. I thought it was a bad idea, because our reception pictures didn't turn out very good, but when we got there, it was beautiful! The reception was at an old mansion in a beautiful forest area. All the leaves were turning colors, and there were some pretty cool spots with doors and stone staircases outside. DeAnne made a good call on taking the pictures later (even though the temple was beautiful too).
We tried to check out the sites Sunday before our plane left, but there was a Marine Marathon, so many of the streets were closed. We ended up driving up Embassy Row and going to the National Cathedral. The buildings on Embassy Row all had different styles for different countries, and as you can see from the pictures, the National Cathedral was beautiful.

My New Life

I just thought I'd give an update on why I haven't been updating (besides the fact that my camera battery was out until today, so I didn't take any pictures). Since we've been back in Provo, Tim has been busy with school, work, and research. He has been working with an econ professor at BYU doing small research projects and applying for an ORCA (research) grant. Tim's job of organizing and grading english tests for missions (mostly in South America) got moved to the MTC, so he does the same things, he just has to wear a shirt and tie every day.
When we first got back, I stressed out because I couldn't find a job, so I got a job personal training at a Gold's Gym. I liked it, but it involves too much work and time that I wasn't getting paid for. One day while job searching, I found an opening with Medifit, a corporate health promotion company, similar to the one I did my internship with. There was an opening at the Discover Credit Card Site in Sandy, UT, so I applied and got it! I am definetaly an entry level employee working the night shift (2-10pm M-TH and 10am-6pm Fri.) for low wages, but I am just glad to be getting experience in the field of corporate health promotion. There, I run the fitness center at night, create fun bulletin boards on health and fitness topics, and help with incentive programs to get the employees to be healthy. I think I will also be teaching an onsite group exercise class in a few weeks! It gets kind of slow working at night, but I am really liking the job. I have also kept a few clients at Gold's in the morning, so I end up working about 50 hours a week. It's been pretty busy, but I'm finding joy in work (and an income!).
