Exciting Stuff!

So, I was interviewed by the Yakima Herald recently about my degree and the job market, and here's the link to the article! I'm not a fan of the photo they took of me working with students, but the article is pretty good.

Today in my Management class, the professor told the class that we had a local celebrity in the class, and then proceeded to talk about the article. It was pretty cool, but I definitely didn't think anyone had read it!

Ty is doing well. He's been prepping for a conference in Reno with the construction department. I'm sure I'm not explaining it well enough, but he'll be there during Valentines Day weekend, creating a bid for a Civil Construction project.I'm excited for him, but he's feeling a bit stressed out by all the prep work.

Well, I should probably get to homework!
Take care and we'll talk to you all soon,

2 Years!

Happy 2 Years to us! Ty and I had a wonderful two year anniversary today, and we are both glad to be back at school, safe and sound. Chance made it back ok today too, over White pass, but it took him a lot longer then normal.
Christmas was fun, both of us got what we wanted and more. New Years was awesome, all of us had a blast!

Some of the goals for this year:
1. GRADUATE!
2. "Tone Up" As Ty puts it (I'd rather say just get back in shape.)
3. Go Snowboarding
4. Find Jobs (I'm sure that should be higher, but we've got a bit of time)
5. Have fun!

Tonight, before Ty went home, we both sat there and prayed that we would have a successful quarter and that we are thankful for our families and our friends. I wanted to say thanks again to all of you for all you do not only for me, but for Ty as well.
We love you all!
-Jules and Ty
