We're moving :)

The last week has been full of amazing things!  On Monday (February 20th) Dusty took me shopping and we bought a new ottoman, to replace our old coffee table.  The coffee table was a gift from my friend Cindy when we got married. She was about to have twins and didn't have room for it anymore so we inherited it.  When me moved to Salt Lake last June it got banged up and it hasn't been the same since.  I begged Dusty to get me a new rug to go with our ottoman so that night while I was at work Dusty found us one on Ikea.com. He told me that I needed to wait until we had more money before we bought it but on Tuesday morning he caved in and took me to Ikea to get it.  It was our first time going to Ikea and it was fabulous.  We loved looking at all of the different house ideas and love our new rug.  After we got home Dusty got an email from Washington University asking him to pick a degree.  We thought it was spam until Dusty opened it and it was an email asking him to choose between their Masters of Hospital Administration program and their PhD in Economics program. He applied to these programs about a month ago and we didn't expect to hear back from them this quickly and for sure not in an email that looked like spam but we're super excited. The next day we got his acceptance letters in the mail, so we know for sure that he got in :)  After thinking it over for a while, we decided to go with the PhD in Economics program.  Its in Pullman, Washington, which is in the middle of nowhere but we are super excited to go. As a celebration gift, I gave Dusty a hooded towel haha.  He is always complaining that he doesn't have one and how cool one would be so when we got some in at work I got him one.  We've been searching for an apartment like crazy ever since we make our decision and Dusty was able to find one a few days ago.  Its brand new, so we will be the first people to live there and its huge! Its 925 square feet (which is bigger than both of the apartments we've lived in so far) and costs the same as our apartment here in Salt Lake and cheaper than our Provo apartment.  We'll be moving up there in the beginning of May and we couldn't be more excited to start a new adventure together.

Dusty keeps coming home from work with food all over his scrubs.... poor husband :(


We got these fortunes when we were out to dinner on Saturday 
and thought they were fitting given the circumstances 


Dusty dyed my hair and the majority of my face on Saturday


One of my coworkers posted this picture on the fb and we loved it!


This is the floorplan for our new apartment, we've never seen it but we like the floor plan :)
