Hey Family and Friends! I know it has been a while since I have updated, but there has not been that many fun or exciting things that have been happening lately. So, for our life update, Grant and I are currently staying in Austin, Texas with Tanya, Wilson, Mia, and Ally. We love the church here and especially all of the people in the Young Marrieds class. We are currently looking for jobs in this area and other areas in case there are other openings. Here are some pictures of the first time we went to Dan's with the Roberston Family since our stay in Austin began.
Here you can see Mia not happy about something, I think that she wanted some of Wilson's Malt shake.
Ally felt it was necessary to try some of my chocolate shake. Grant and I were planning on splitting it explaining the huge size, but Ally too over. Also, she had no problem sucking correctly and getting more out than the rest of us could manage.
The size difference was just so funny to see hence the pictures.
I hope that you are all doing well, and that we find jobs soon so we have some more exciting things to post/write about.
We started officially dating in fall 2006 until now!
♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Years, have no clue exactly when.
♥ Who asked who out?
Grant asked me.
♥ Whose siblings do/ did you see the most?
We see mine more, but that is cause he is my older brother’s best friend.
♥ Do you have any children together?
Nope.
♥ What about pets?
None.
♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Attention, I am more extroverted and want a lot of attention, and he is introverted and is fine with being alone all the time. Just took some talking and all was well.
♥ Did you go to the same school?
Grant went to MogadoreHigh School, and I went to CVCA/LCCS
♥ Are you from the same home town?
No, Grant is from Mogadore, and I lived most of my life in Tallmadge… so very close.
♥ Who is the smartest?
I probably have the most book smarts, but I think Grant has more down to earth logical smarts that I probably need more of.
♥ Who is the most sensitive?
I am definitively the most sensitive… I like to blame it on the fact that I’m a girl.
♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple?
Taco Bell/Wendy’s
♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
We went around Europe last Christmas and that was fun!
♥ Who has the craziest exes?
ROFL, since I dated one of other person besides Grant I actually have an EX… he doesn’t have any Exes.
♥ Who has the worst temper?
My temper is annoying because I just cry and then no one can understand me, and Grants probably would be because he only says something when enough has built up to make it worth saying something.
♥ Who does the cooking?
I do most of the cooking, but Grant can and does sometimes cook, and it is always great!
♥ Who is more social?
I am more social in general, but when Grant is around friends and family he can definitely get more social.
♥ Who is the neat-freak?
I am more of a neat freak, but Grant is more OCD about random things. I still have cycles where it gets dirtier and dirtier and then I clean it up etc.
♥ Who is the most stubborn?
Not sure, I would say Grant, but I probably have random times where I am more stubborn.
♥ Who hogs the bed?
Me, I mean not horribly, but yeah.
♥ Who wakes up earlier?
As of now me, but it all depends on if I’m working otherwise I am always up last.

We watched a sunset, ate cereal, and drank tea at Heber Springs.
♥ Who has the bigger family?
Me… by far!
♥ Do you get flowers often?
On very special occasions.
♥ How do you spend the holidays?
Well, before we always went to Ohio and were unfortunately cold, and spent time with both families… now, we might have to change our habits.
♥ Who is more jealous?
Neither, we both don’t like jealousy and decided that we would just trust each other and not freak out about hanging out with friends, etc.
♥ How long did it take to get serious?
Not sure… A year?
♥ Who does/ did the laundry?
I do the laundry, but that is because I like doing it! Well, if I do not have to go to a laundry mat!
♥ Who’s better with the computer?
Grant of course, he is the COMPUTER engineer.
♥ Who drives when you are together?
Grant always drives unless we are on a road trip and he needs to sleep.
Grant and I have really been blessed since we have graduated from college! The day before we moved out of our apartment in Searcy before Christmas break, we found out that I had gotten an Internship with the firm Cromwell Architects Engineers. They are the largest Architectural and Engineering Firm in Arkansas. I was very excited because not only are they a very well known firm, but they were actually paying me for my time which is very scarce for Interior Design internships! I started it on Monday, January 5th, and so far I have completed the first week. It is such a wonderful environment, and it is such a productive firm because they have all of the engineers, architects, and designers all under one roof working together on all of the projects. I wanted to show some pictures of where I work now that I have a break.
This is the outside of the building that I work in which is across from the Little Rock Court House. As of now they are only using 2 of their 4 floors, and renting out the other 2. In case they need to expand from their number of 120 employees they can.
The front of the building.
Here is the reception desk if you need help, and behind it is the management area.
Here you can see the Reception/Seating area.
This is part of the management area.
Another view, of the interior design part... to the left is an island conference table that we use a lot for different activities.
This is part of the interior design area, you can see the wall of binders from different companies that we need for specifying certain products.
A different biew of my cubicle, I am also lucky that most of our main wall is a window, and sunlight is just such a blessing.
My name tag... WEIRD!
This is my Cubicle that I have in the Interior Design area. I try to keep it clean, but I won't be there forever, so there is no point in bringing in loads of stuff from home.
Another view of where the architects are; you can see how there are nice windows surrounding most of this firm.
This is part of the first floor where the architects are located! It has more of a loft look with cement flooring and open ceiling cavities.
Well I was just looking through old videos and for some reason this one really was making me laugh... a lot... Maybe it is just me.. but i don't care. take luck!
Here you can see Mia not happy about something, I think that she wanted some of Wilson's Malt shake.
Ally felt it was necessary to try some of my chocolate shake. Grant and I were planning on splitting it explaining the huge size, but Ally too over. Also, she had no problem sucking correctly and getting more out than the rest of us could manage.
The size difference was just so funny to see hence the pictures.
