Moving :(

This is kinda late notice but Rory has accepted a District Manager job with Farmers in Austin, TX. He leaves today to get up to speed with the job and will come back next week to get everything packed and moved. It really is all working out because the job market has been so tough here in Utah for me I was easily able to find a job in Austin making three times the rate in Utah. We love you all and will have lots of updates for you and If you know of anyone who would like to become an agent in Austin, TX let Rory know!

Here are a few pictures of our new hometown and the house Farmers has purchased for us.

This was the hardest thing I have ever done. It didn't help with the crazy winds.

Here is the route:

Crazy Bike Ride!

(2009 Scott CR1 Team)

The other day I went on a bike ride I no had clue where I was going. So I just decided to go visit some of my high school family friends in my old neighborhood.

Check out the ride: http://www.mapmyride.com/route/us/ut/slc/371126845027362521

Update

Well, quick update on what we have been up to lately...

I am just busy with my school externship at Bluffdale Elementary. Luckily, I am enjoying what I am doing! Also, I passed the Praxis! So now I just need to find a job...

Rory has been training hard for his many races coming up. I tell you, he is really dedicated! He goes to the gym or on a bike ride EVERY day! His next race is this weekend in St. George: The Tuacahn Duathlon (a running and biking event).

We had a nice relaxing Valentines! Just cooked dinner at home and watched the Olympics...speaking of which, we are totally obsessed with watching the Olympics! I feel really unproductive because it is consuming my life!

Here are some pics from Valentines....We made chocolate covered strawberries for dessert (not pictured). They were delicious!

Other news, we bought a new car! We decided to sell our 99 Civic and upgrade. We ended up buying a 2010 Mazda CX-7. A little shock at the gas pump last week...but that was to be expected because we have been used to purchasing Natural Gas at 93 cents per gallon for the past 2 1/2 years! The Mazda actually gets good fuel economy! And the all-wheel drive is nice for the winter and fitting a bike in the back is great too!
