AHHHHHHHH it has been so long since our last post. But an update is long overdue. SO I think that since the last status report on us, Bradley was still interning and we were still living at my parents'. Times has changed!
At the end of April Bradley got a job offer at a company called Antenna International, which is the company that produces 95% (+) of all the audio tours for all museums/parks/exhibits around the world. He works in the legal department, but creative spends at least a couple days a week trying to steal him to design iPod/iPad apps (he helped develop a few for the Houston Museum of Fine Art) but then his boss at legal found out and shooed the creative predators away. He hopes to someday sneak back into creative. It's much more fun than legal. The plan is to work in an MBA here in the next couple of years. A job/experience should put us on the road to get there.
I, on the other hand, was working with the lady with whom Bradley was working during his internship on her grand opus of her career. I hated it. I hated everything about that project; maybe it really was going nowhere or maybe I wasn't the right one on the job, but right around the time the Bradley was getting job interviews, my two assistants and I were trying to decide on a tactful way to quit together. They weren't on board with her "vision" either. We were volunteers so we were working with her for free; none of us had anything to lose....except me. Our boss is not the most benevolent of creatures, and I knew that if I left the project she would take it out on Bradley. However! The day after we planned out grand quitting, Bradley got his job offer! We have been so blessed this past year.
Since I quit that project at the end of April, I decided to take May off. Meanwhile Bradley and I got switched from our nursey callings (very bittersweet moment) and Bradley got sent to teach the 6 year olds, while I got sent to teach the 13-14 year olds and serve as the Relief Society Secretary. Also during my month-long "May Break" I decided to pack on the babysitting harrrrrrdcore. And made lotsa money! It was the icing on top of our savings, and we were immediately ready to move out once Bradley got his job. It was just a matter of finding the right place. He started April 25th, we moved out May 6th. Love ya Mom and Dad, but we's a little cramped! We moved to an apartment here in New Canaan, CT, not only because we have a great deal but also because Bradley's work opened a new office up in the next town over. Normally he would work in the Met, but now that they opened their office here, he only goes into the city 1-2 days a week and works in CT the rest of the week. So now we are in a great brand new apartment with great rent in a beautiful part of the country right next to the best city in the world. I'd say life is good. It's June now and I'm looking for new projects in the city and we are looking forward to my BIRTHDAY and some fun summer plans.
Now you know what's going on!!! Hope that clears things up!
