A Shot in the Dark

Well, we really have flown by the seat of our pants these past few weeks. It brought us all the way to Virginia. What Kristi failed to mention is that we went out there with no real promising leads. The internship that I was supposed to have informed me the day before we were going to take off that they would be closing down there facility and that my services would not be needed. So needless to say what do you do in a time like that? You go out anyway, bum off your in-laws, spend time with nieces and nephews and look for jobs knowing that if you don't have any luck then you can turn around in the car and make the 30 hour drive back to greener pasteurs in Provo, UT.
A quick update though. We both felt really good about coming out here and knew at least we would save a little rent money (thank you Carvers), but were unsure of anything beyond that. Well, for the past week and a half I have been working as a personal trainer at a place called fitness together that offers small personal suits and that caters primarily to adults. It is located in Chantilly, which alloww me to run to work(only 2 miles...priceless!) It has been a good experience to date. Kristi had a job interview last week and upon completing the interview was offered a job right there on the spot. She will be doing Mommy Relief, assisting mothers in their homes you have recently given birth and are finding it difficult to adjust or simply need an extra pair of hands. She will be great at that, it's right up her alley. More great news, I was informed by Velocity sports yesterday that I was accepted to their internship program and will be starting the 26the of May. This is what I really wanted despite not being paid, it will give me a great opportunity to look into the sports performance field and see if it is really something I want to pursue.
All in all things are going great for us. We couldn't be happier and feel like we've been blessed a ton. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers. Kristi thanks for being patient and a thanks to all the family members that we've been able to see and spend time with. We've had a blast and look forward to another three months!
