Dessert Night Tradition Continued...

Lisa and I continued the tradition started with Corrine, Melanie, and I by making dinner and an ice cream pie. Picture are to come. For dinner we made some beef roll ups that had onion, mushrooms, spinach, and yellow bell peppers. I of course had to make mine special. We marinated the beef with seasoning and a marinade for a while and then rolled them and put bacon on the outside. After we finished rolling them we stuck them on the grill. While this was going on we had our corn on the cob cooking, crescent rolls baking, and ice cream thawing.

We made the ice cream pie by softening the ice cream we added pecans, chocolate syrup, caramel, coconut, and white chocolate chips. It was truly delicious!

Change

So I am in Arizona doing my internship. I am working for Ameriprise Financial. So far I am actually enjoying it! I look forward to going to work. One, it gets me out of the apartment. Two, it gets me doing something. I don't really like it here because things and people have changed so much. I am getting used to the weather, but when you don't know anyone, it is hard to enjoy yourself. I pictured this semester a lot different. The Lord is definitely trying my patience and faith. I know I am supposed to be here for a reason, but I am still trying to figure out what it is. I am glad that my Mom still answers the phone when I ring her because I call so frequently!!

As for my future, I am looking into jobs across the country. I am looking in Salt Lake, Cedar Rapids, and in Arizona. I have had a phone interview with Vangaurd. It seems like a good company but the position isn't something I am too thrilled about. I am also looking into Edward Jones because you can basically open up your own practice anywhere in the country. There is also a possibility of getting signed on at Ameriprise. I think that I would like it. But for all of these paths, I have to get licensed. That means I have to take the Series 6 test. AHHH scary. Well, it will have to be done so I may as well start studying for it now!

That is it for now. Peace!

Diamondbacks Game

This picture is pretty fuzzy but I hope you catch the drift. Whitney, Ryan, and I went to a Diamondbacks Baseball game. For those of you who don't know, they won the World Series last year. (I think) ;) It was awesome to be back at a pro-stadium. It brought back many memories from when my family and I would go to the Seattle Mariners games. Oh the good life!

Snowboarding

Tara took me snowboarding for the first time. It was awesome but a little painful. I want to go again someday after my body stops throbbing in pain!!

Icy Tundra of Rexburg





















So it snows a lot here. The end. However, it does add some beauty to the area.
