More Celebrations

It's a late post, but as the saying goes "Better late than never!" We've had a few reasons to celebrate the past few weeks so here's the highlights!

Joseph turned the big 2-4 a few weeks ago! The weekend before his birthday, my friend, Chelsea and her husband came to visit from Logan. Pretty soon we won't live in the same state so we got together while it's still easy. We hiked Squaw Peak since the weather was beautiful. It was a great hike and we enjoyed having them come visit. We also went to see the new Bat-man movie, which was pretty cool. For Joseph's birthday, we had a nice dinner (steak!) and just hung out. Joseph had to take a national engineering exam the day after his birthday so we didn't do a whole lot because of that. We went to see his family as well and they gave us a water purifier for Texas. Neither of us like how the water tastes in Texas so we wanted a purifier so we don't have to keep buying bottled water. Here's some pictures.

This is new. Before this rock, there was no marker and you had to guess where to turn.

Also, we celebrated accepting a job offer! Joseph had many opportunities to interview and go to Houston for site visits with other companies this fall. In the end, we made our decision and have accepted an engineering position with Dow Chemical Company. It is the same company Joseph interned with over the summer. We like the company and know they will treat us well. We will be moving to a different city than where we lived over the summer: Lake Jackson, Texas. It is about an hour south of Houston and about 10 minutes away from the gulf coast. The town is pretty nice and Joseph will work with some BYU graduates. We're pretty excited to finally know what we're doing come May!
