Time for a Change

The Winter Semester has finally come to an end and we are proud to say we made it out alive! Even though I start school again on Tuesday, it is so nice to know that I have 14 more credits under my belt and things are just moving along nicely. Sometimes it doesn't seem fast enough, but in retrospect time is flying by!!

In the midst of finals week, somehow we decided it would be a great time to move. We've spent the last week scheduling our time with packing up what seemed like a million boxes and studying until our eyes fell out. The good news is they both paid off! Tyler and I did well on our finals and we are thrilled to be living in a new place! We moved to Holladay on Thursday and we have a lot of work to do, but we are happy to be here for the next while.

The end of this semester also meant Tyler graduated! My parents flew out for the celebration and Tyler's mom, Debbie, came up to surprise him. I wish I could have captured the look on his face when he saw her in the condo waiting for us. It was great! We missed his dad who is busy with the missionaries in Phoenix, but it was great to have Debbie and my parents here for a short trip.


And the biggest news lately......Tyler got accepted to graduate school at the University of Utah!!!! He starts in the fall to pursue his MBA in Business Marketing. I am sooooo happy for him and he is thrilled! Now, we will be a half blue and half red couple :)

What we've been doing lately

Yes, I realize it has been a long time since I've updated this thing. Here is the latest news of the Beck's here in Provo:

Tyler accepted his internship offer in Salt Lake with the Buckner Company. We just sold our contract for our apartment here in Provo and will be moving to Holladay the end of April. We are excited for a little change and to be close to family up there!

We have watched a lot of basketball over the last month...and I mean A LOT!! It was a sad day to see the Jayhawks lose in the second round of March Madness, but luckily we recovered after a few days. Nothing in our apartment was broken and I was grateful for that. Ty has still been dedicated to watching the games and is looking forward to the final game tomorrow night, not more than I am though :).

We made Easter eggs with our friends Jimmy and Kira over the weekend. This was Tyler's first experience with dying eggs for Easter. We had a lot of fun! We did decide though that holidays like Easter are a lot more fun with kids around when we can have a big Easter egg hunt and have them so excited about all the candy they get. Well, maybe in a couple years we can do that.

Tyler sent in his application for graduate school at the University of Utah this past week. He is hoping to attend the U in the Fall for his MBA. Tyler has worked so hard to do well on his GMAT and send in all the requirements for the program. I am so proud of him! Now we just wait to hear back from them, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

We've been to a couple of movies, and out to dinner with friends. Other than that, we are just keeping busy with school and work. We have two weeks left of classes (YAY!!!!) and then finals. We are looking forward to the semester coming to the end and for warm weather to start coming our way!!

And the Winner Is...

Tyler has been working very hard the last couple of weeks trying to find an internship for the summer. One thing he applied for was an internship competition at the BYU Marriott School. The end prize is an internship offer with one of the three companies participating. This competition consisted of a number of undergraduates who had to go through interviews, submit an executive summary, and create a small speech about why they are best for the job. On Wednesday night they had a large event and Tyler was one of nine finalists (three for each company). He gave his "elevator speech" about himself and HE WON!!! They chose him to have an internship for the Buckner Company which is based out of Salt Lake. We are still working out details to see if this is the best option for us for the summer, but we are both very excited!! I was a very proud wife that night :)

A New Beginning

Tyler and I have been married for a little over a month now, and it has been a wonderful time! Yes, a lot of adjustments have been made and we are still getting the hang of being married, but we absolutely love it! We are both going strong with school and work. Tyler is going to be ready to graduate in April and with that wonderful event to look forward to also comes a lot of work. He is in the process of looking for an internship for the summer to get him some experience in the marketing field. Now, when I say looking you may think just sending resumes to different companies. Oh no, if only it were that simple. It is almost like adding another set of classes for him. The companies give all sorts of assignments just to get him an interview. It is a little over the top if you ask me, but I know it will all be worth it in the end when he finds the job he is looking for. He has had a few companies interested so we are praying for the best!

So while he has a little extra on his plate, I have decided to start a blog. I love looking at all of our family and friend's blogs so I guess now it is my turn. I figure it will be a great way for me to spend my time, and a good stress reliever. I am really excited about it, but I'm not very good with setting up the whole thing, so I'm open to suggestions, and please bear with me. Hope you enjoy!!
