To back up a bit… I am not a mother yet, nor plan to be
anytime soon, but Steven made mother’s day a little bit special for me this
last month. He made dinner and
everything. It was nice. They bishopric gave out REALLY good chocolate
bars for Mother’s Day as well. They were
delicious!
We got Steven some new glasses. We had intended to for a while now and
finally after his glasses finally got so bent out of shape, we just went and
got some. Don’t they look so nice?
My internship has been lots of fun. I started out working on this homecoming
dress to see if I could sell it to this local formal rental place. We’ll see how it turns out and if they buy it
or not. I am excited to see how that goes! My work on it has been put on hold for now
because my mentor has had other things for me to work on in the meantime that
are slightly more urgent so this is all I have so far of the top part… Once a
week I also go to my other mentor’s place and she shows me more of the
alterations side of things. I have
learned how to hem dress pants (in large quantities) and take in waistbands for
those pants from the Missionary Mall. It
just makes me want to get all this expensive equipment for myself. Maybe someday. The Missionary Mall actually provides her
equipment for her, which is cool. It
would be awesome to get in with that kind of set up! (Not to also mention that it makes decent
money!)
Steven’s been taking his first communication design class
this semester! My kind of thing! It’s been fun helping him learn the Adobe
software and to hear him comment on other photos and design work when we are
out now. I even caught a snapshot of him
using my fancy camera!!! Photographer in
training! Woo!
As for our house and our move… So far I have had a few people interested and
a couple of them will come look at our old place this week. We signed the lease and got the keys to our
new place already so now it’s just time to pack, and get this place taken care
of. Thankfully our lease here was up so
we aren’t obligated to pay rent here but we are trying our hardest to help out
our land lady to find someone to move in.
She is about 90 years old and starting to lose her mind a bit so we are
helping as much as we can. Like I
mentioned, we have a couple people looking at it this week so hopefully someone
will take it! I mean, other than being a
ways out of town (which is what we loved so much about it in the first place)
there’s not much else keeping people away. It’s cheap rent, your OWN place—nothing shared
or whatever. Private outdoor space. What’s not to like? Steven figures someone will take it once they
see the inside and stuff because it is a pretty nice place. And for a one bedroom place it’s bigger than
most apartments in town!
I feel like there is so much more to talk about but that’s
all I can think of for now. Work is
good, Steven’s doing alright with school, and the weather has finally turned
into summer!
Until next time!
