Our First Blog

Hello Everyone

This is Ben & Katie's first blog to catch everyone up.
Well, the beginning of January we moved to Springfield, Virginia, really close to D.C, because the job opportunities were much better out here. We packed up and drove 4 days across the country. The first day we went through Wyoming and a huge blizzard. I think our top speed that day was 30 mph. Eventually we made it. We are now living at Ben's parent's home for few weeks/months. Ben got a job within four days of moving here. He is working as a financial analyst for Mitre. Katie got a job within a week working for the Children's Hospital here in the NICU. Ben started his job immediately and Katie starts hers on February 12th. Katie is still going to school and finishing up her BSN. She will be done April 2007. We just got done looking at houses and decided renting seemed like a much better option. Things are so expensive outside of Rexburg. We are currently looking for a place to rent. Other than that, life is good. We miss our family and friends back in Idaho but are glad to be near our family and friends out here. Ben's brother and his wife and three kids are out here so we still get to play aunt and uncle every now and again. Other than that, life is good. Hope all is well with you and you've kept your New Year's Resolution.
