Moving

Align Center
Chris was offered a job at Merit Medical the Friday before the 4th of July. He gave his two weeks notice to Bard where he had been interning for the past year, and started at Merit two weeks later.
We packed up and moved out of our apartment the end of July and moved in with my parents for a week and a half until our new apartment in West Jordan opened up.
The weekend before Chris started at Merit my older brother Nate got married. We lived out of suitcases and boxes for a few weeks.
It was a whirlwind! But we are very excited and grateful for this new opportunity.


Moving out of our first apartment

All empty

Moving day from my parents house into our new apartment


Dinner the first night in our new place. Of course the first thing Chris unpacked and set up was his new TV.

Chris has been longing and pleading for a TV ever since we got married. I made a deal with him last year that when he got a real "grown-up" job, the first big purchase we would make would be a new TV.
The night Chris recieved his job offer, he was on the computer looking up which TV he wanted.


Enjoying his prize





Summer fun


Our summer flew by! I worked long hours all summer at The Adoption Center and Chris was very busy with track and applying for jobs. All that hard work paid off though!
In July Chris was offered and accepted a position as a Product Manager for Merit Medical in the Endotek division in South Jordan, Utah.

We celebrated his new job offer at our new favorite place to eat: La Jolla Groves.



Some other fun things we did this summer:

We went and saw the Manti Pageant with our good friends TJ and Krista
Of course spending time at the track

One night right before we moved he headed up to the Y Parking Lot to watch a big lightning and thunder storm with a cooler full of otter pops.



Late night dinners outside
