The Big Move to....

TEXAS
Jared and I decided to move to Texas. This was a big decision we had to make. We both had jobs in Seattle and would be moving to a place where we didn't have jobs. After many prayers and thinking it out in our minds we felt this was something we needed to do. This move was a huge leap of faith. After hearing all no's from the schools Jared had applied to for his masters program, we had to start thinking of our next plan. Many of the schools told Jared he needed experience in working in a research lab. After applying to a couple of research jobs in Seattle, nothing was happening. We figured that was our answer. Dallas has many opportunities for Jared. Some of the schools he applied to were even in Dallas. We are both in the process of looking for jobs and are trying to be as positive as we can.

Oregon Coast

We went to the Orgeon coast with Jared's family at the beginning of June. I had never been to the Oregon coast and it was absolutely gorgeous. We stayed in a beach house with his family. I didn't get a picture of the house but it had such a pretty view of the ocean. Here are a few pics from our trip...




The water was freezing in this picture but we went in anyways.
