We made it!

I finally started a blog (obviously... HA!) because we're far away from home, so it'll be fun keeping in touch with everyone! Dan and I made it out to Ohio (a 30 hour drive) Friday before last and we love it here so far! On the way here, we drove through Missouri, so we were able to see some of my cousins I haven't seen for 4 years. It was great seeing them! We are having a lot of fun exploring Columbbus. The city is so big compared to anything we have ever lived in. It is very hot and humid, so thank goodness our complex has a pool! So far, we have swam in it every day (I think) at least once a day. Its hard to cool down here because of the humidity, so the pool is perfect.
I just graduated with my bachelor's degree from BYU-Idaho about a month ago in exercise science with the hope to be a personal trainer. The day after I graduated, I took one of the more rigorous certification tests (Its called the CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) through the NSCA). It covered a lot of exercise physiology, nutrition, exercise technique, testing and evaluation, program design, and the organization/administration of the strength and conditioning facility. To make a long story short, I just found out I PASSED!!! Right after, like within 5 minutes, of finding out I passed the test, I found out I got a job as a personal trainer! We're very excited about it all. What is cool about me working full time is that because of that, Dan will be able to receive in state tuition, which will save about $40,000 a year!
ps don't mind the dates on the pictures, we haven't bothered to change it to the correct date on the camera!
