Orem and family

We flew in Saturday morning and Jeff with Irina picked us up. So good of them since we didn't have a car. Oh, wait... my mom was absolutely amazing and gave us her car until we don't need it anymore. Thank you, mom. She also gave us a whole turkey to cook and some yummy jam.
We were lucky once again to get Sonia a free seat... there was no one right next to us! We took so much stuff as a carry ons and personal items that the Delta people were giving us unhappy looks. We even managed to get a stroller and a jogger on the plane with no additional fee.
Saturday we spent the whole day unpacking and making our downstairs room as comfy as possible. Irina is the coolest for letting us stay with them for a while. Thank you ;-)
Sonia's got a whole gang to play with and Sasha has already made her a muff. Sasha can crochet... who could have guessed?!
We are grateful we have a place to stay and are happy to report we know where we are going next. Washington DC! Jeremy's hard work payed off and he will be serving in the federal tax court next year. For now we are figuring out how to get by until September if you have good advise, let us know.

I'm so glad you guys made it safely to Orem, though I admit that I was sad about the change in your blog name. Good luck getting settled out there, I'm glad you got everything onto the plane!!

I've been working for Google as an ads evaluator for a year from home, and since both of you know foreign languages, you would be more likely to get hired very quickly. It's $15 an hour and you make your own schedule. Here is the website:

They currently only have spanish listed, but it changes every day, so I would check back as often as you can. You send a resume and cover letter to temporaryjobs@google.com. It's very easy work too. Good luck!

If you guys are ever in the Ogden area, you should give us a call! It would be nice to meet you Nadia.

Good luck! Hope everything works out for you all.

We would love to send you a Christmas card. What would be a good address to use?

Way to go Jeremy! D.C. will be amazing and fun...we are really excited for your new adventures!

Good luck finding something until September...maybe look into doing something with pre-law advisement at BYU? Like an adjunct lecturer or something? I mean, Jeremy is a law grad from one of the best law schools in the country (in my opinion :)...) all those BYU undergrads might want to take some advise from him about successfullly getting into and going to law school! Good luck! You guys are amazing!
