After achieving less than favorable (or no) results from riding my bike to work, I decided to hit the weights and get a little more strict on the diet (not that I really have a diet). So, yesterday was my "maiden voyage," if you will, to Solheim athletic complex for the summer. I went to the weight room, and much to my surprise, it was quite full. Some of the people there were Moody employees, and some were probably students on campus for the summer, but there were some other people there too. There was a group of women who were very tall, very athletic and were making me feel really bad when I saw their workout. They had a trainer with them, and a couple of times I heard one of them let loose with a mild expletive. I knew these were not Moody athletes.
After I was finished, I went back to the locker room and saw another Moody employee there. We got to chatting, and he told me that those women were no ordinary women. They were WNBA players from the local team. I had heard that NBA teams sometimes use our athletic complex when they are in town to play the Bulls, but I had never seen it myself - until today. I have now decided that I have no reason to feel bad after seeing those women work out.

Sorry!!!
I'm sorry it has been so long since we posted! Jesse has been working about 25 hours a week at the help desk and I have also been working, so there's not much new to report. I'm not moving to a new salon after all! I am a lot like my dad and I worry about things until I find out what's going on, so when I flipped our calendar to June and realized that I would probably be moving in a few weeks, I started freaking out! I hadn't heard anything from my DL since the last time I wrote and I had no idea what was supposed to be going on. I finally decided to leave her a voicemail and she called me back a few days later. She said that she was never intending to for sure move me, she was just brainstorming and that she would never move someone without giving them six weeks' notice! I was completely under the impression that she was for sure moving me and that I was going to be in charge of that salon for a month while that Salon Leader was gone...so I am SO relieved! What makes it even better is that my friend Leeanne started at my salon today! So now, Danielle, Leeanne, and I all work together...how awesome is that?!?!
Well, our landlord just left after helping Jesse put a window air conditioner in...HALLELUJAH!!! I got pretty grumpy a few times because it was just entirely too hot in this apartment...you'd take a lukewarm shower and the minute you get out, you'd be drenched in sweat again! I never wanted to cook or anything because it just created so much more heat! So anyway...now I can get back to being a good wife ;)
My family is coming up to visit in a few weeks, and we are really excited to show them around the city and see how they all will fit in our apartment for the weekend...hey, at least we have air conditioning now! Other than that, Jesse may be home some weekends here and there, and I may try to come home for the day over my day off, but we won't for sure be home together until my Dustin and Krista's wedding in September. It seems like a long time away, but I'm sure it will go quickly. As far as my vacation goes, I'll only be taking five days instead of seven so that I can come home earlier and help with the wedding! We may try to come home over the weekend of my vacation, so we'll keep you posted! Thanks for reading and keep posting comments!!!

It's been almost a month since we posted already?!?!? Time flies!!!
Jesse is officially done with classes, and I think most of his finals as well. On Sunday night, his professor of his research writing class had that whole class over to her house to celebrate the end of the semester. I was reluctant to go along because I didn't know anyone and would be the only spouse there, but it ended up being a pretty good time! His professor, Dr. deRosset, is a really awesome lady, I could tell that after only spending one evening with her! Jesse is going to continue working at the help desk this summer. We thought he was going to be able to work full time, but it turns out that more of the staff are staying for the summer than they orginally thought, so Jesse's only going to be able to get about 20 hours a week. He wants to get a second job so that he's working full time, so please keep him in your prayers as he's looking for another job!
I received news from my DL last week that in about a month, she is going to be transferring me to another salon. She told me when I got the promotion that this would probably happen, but I guess I was still hoping that it wouldn't! She's always felt like when you promote someone within a salon, it's harder for them to gain the respect that their new position brings, that it's easier for them to go into a new salon with their new position already, and I see what she means. I never want to confront the girls because I don't want them to hate me or think I'm on some kind of power trip when I was one of them for a while and almost all of them have been there longer than me. My DL also feels like the Salon Leader at the new salon will train and develop me better, and she wants to see that happen because she eventually wants to make me an SL!!! While I think it will be a good change for me, I don't want to leave my clients behind and being able to work with Danielle has been just awesome! Also, we were planning on taking a vacation for a week at the end of July/beginning of August to celebrate our 22nd birthdays and second anniversary, but my new SL will be gone in Buglaria (where she's from) for the entire month of July, which might mess our plans up. So please just keep me in your prayers as all of this happens!!!
We will be home in about a week for Tyler's wedding, and after that, we aren't 100% sure of when we'll be home this summer, so we will try to keep you posted!

Easter, etc...
We haven't written in a while! I guess we've just kinda fallen into a routine around here...not much new to report!
Me, Danielle, and Leeanne 
We weren't able to go home for Easter this year, so we got together with two other couples that we are good friends with, and it was a blast! We went over to Craig and Danielle's house with Michael and Leeanne. All of us ladies planned the menu and pitched in, and it was so good! We hung out there most of the afternoon, and the guys fixed Craig's computer and then we all watched Napoleon Dynamite...we hadn't seen that movie in so long and it was just hilarious! That evening, the guys all had homework to do, so Danielle and I went over to Leeanne's and just spent some girl time together.
Work has been going well for me, I'm still getting used to being the new ASL! Business has been decent...busy one day, slow the next, but overall, things are going pretty good. Jesse is back into the swing of things after spring break, and it is so hard to believe he only has a little over a month left of school!!! He's trying to figure out what his work schedule will be like for the summer and is thinking about getting a second job.
So overall, things are still going great for us! We are planning on coming home the weekend of May 19th, so we will see you all then! Here are a few pictures from our Easter...
