A Parade of Pipkins

Daniel and I have been working on getting our house in order,we have purchased our first few pieces of furniture: projector, Billy book case (can you tell that we think reading and movies are very important?).

To help give us inspiration we have been attending the Parade of Homes. We found a lot of neat ideas:

books with hidden insides

personal gyms

secret rooms

lots of jar containers

cute owl pictures

reading nooks

indoor slides

telescopes

Exciting Things

I have been working on my internship up in Salt Lake and a couple of weeks ago was told that I would be writing a request for a grant. I walked into a meeting a little late and was informed "Rebecca will write the grant for the community capacity building." It sounded like a great idea.

Until I found out that it was due two weeks from the then and I didn't have any of the information for it and I would have to coordinate intensely with the KCU (Karen Community of Utah) board which is something I had yet to do. 

But after 20 hours of work, it looks like it's coming along.

Daniel and I might go to Korea to teach English for a year starting next January (2013).

We are now the proud owners of a real, live (well, not technically living), Japanese rice cooker! We haven't used it yet though, because it needs a transformer.

The next frontier

On Saturday, May 19th, BYU hosted an Astro Fair in celebration of the upcoming Solar Eclipse. Daniel and I indulged ourselves by attending a Physics demonstration, movie in the planetarium, making rockets, and so forth.

Next goal: finish watching the Battlestar Galactica series.

Lunchtime

adorable little owl

Daniel and I have been pretty busy lately, with school and work and internships and trips to Salt Lake. But a couple weeks ago we made one of our best purchases yet in our new marriage-- LUNCH BOXES. I have used mine everyday for lunch ever since, and Daniel uses his too, sometimes.
