A Whole Lot of Updates

So, we have a lot of updates and it is about time for me to blog about them. First off, we are moving to Salt Lake City! It was getting to the point where I had to let the professor in charge of student teaching know if I wanted to stay in town or go elsewhere. We decided to take a risk (because Brandon doesn't have a job yet) and I told him I would like to be assigned somewhere in the Salt Lake District. When we are going to move up is still up in the air; it will just depend on when Brandon will need to start work (I am pretty confident he will find a job). Now, here are more individual updates.

Dana: I started working at the University Journal again and my job was to help with whatever was needed. For the most part I just did layout. Well, this week the Accent editor told McKenzie she needed to quit and now I am the new Accent editor! Accent is a little bit of everything in my opinion: arts and entertainment, features, and just the more lighter side of journalism. Accent was actually the first section I was editor over and I loved it. There is more I can do for layout and with the stories being more "light and fluffy" people don't normally get upset over the content. It only publishes once a week which is nice and not stressful. I am considering next Monday (March 5) my debut as Accent editor because I created the story assignments going in it as opposed to this week where the stories were already assigned by the old editor. I will probably post my March 5 layout on this blog.

The other main thing is Camp Kesem. Things have been picking up there and on Thursday we had a benefit concert where we raised over $500! We still have a ways to go, but we will get there.

Brandon: He took the GRE on Thursday and he did really well! He got a 155 on the quantitive and a 155 on verbal; the highest score you can get on each section is 170. He doesn't know what he got on the writing section yet, but I am sure he did well. He submitted his application for the Macc program at SUU (the program is online so it doesn't interfer with us moving). We'll see what happens there. He also started an application for the University of Utah, but since that isn't due until April 1 we are going to wait a bit to hear from SUU. The other thing new with Brandon is he had an interview with the Utah State Tax Commission. He hasn't heard anything yet and is looking for other jobs just in case.

I don't want this message to be completely words and so here is a picture of Sam (I realized I never posted a good picture of him). I know no one in my family really cares but whatever:
