Gergiovden

Yesterday was Gergiovden or St. George’s Day (in English), it is celebrated in Bulgaria on the 6th of May and traditionally roast lamb (usually whole) is eaten on this day. St. George, the dragon slayer is celebrated as the patron saint of livestock.
I really like this holiday it is all about seeing family and spending time with them and also it is one of the few holidays I get to spend with my family. So my parents and I went to the village to celebrate. I saw my grandparents, got to hang out with my cousins and the food was great.

I am in Bulgaria!

I made it, the trip went really well and I am so happy to be with my family, it is good to be home. My parents are spoiling me so much I feel like a princess. I am still adjusting to the time difference; today I took four hour nap!!!!!!!!!! I am looking forward to the time I have here the things I want to do and people I want to see. I will keep you posted on everything. I love you all!

The move

We are officially moved to Kennewick, and we have been here for a week now. The move was fairy easy and went well, and we want to thank all of the people that help us (we appreciate your help). We have been so busy since the move mostly with work so, we haven’t had much time to enjoy our new apartment. It is really good to be here it feels like home, but we do miss Wenatchee, I more than Tyson. I miss my work my wonderful coworkers, the ward we were in, and the primary class I taught. We are just really happy to be close to our family and friends.

Weekend in Kennewick

This weekend we had a really good time in Kennewick, it was good to get down there and see the family, since we hadn’t been there since Thanksgiving. We were especially exited to see our new niece Lila; she is so sweet, and it was good to meet her, we love her so much. Although meeting our niece was good we were down there looking for a place to live, which we did do. We will be moving back into the complex we left, which is good because the area is great and Tyson’s little sister is there as well. It will be good to be around family and friends again.

Snacks I enjoy:

I have lots of favorite snacks that I can find only in Bulgaria, but I have developed taste for some snacks here. As far as snacks go I like fruits you can always find bananas in our house or oranges. Another favorite of mine is yogurt and crackers and I like all those European pastries like éclairs and Grand Napoleons (soooo good).

What I would do if I became a millionaire:

Probably buy a house, pay student loans, and save most of it. Another thing I would do is travel, I love to travel and there are too many places on my list that I dream of visiting, and I will surely use it for that.

Tree Bad Habits:

Our Trip to Spokane

My husband and I went to Spokane over the weekend to take the GMAT test for him to get into grad school. While we were there we had the opportunity to see our brand new niece Lailie; we were so excited to see her and are glad that she is doing well, she is really tiny and so sweet. Also, we went out to dinner with Brett, Beckie and baby Claire we had a great time with them and were happy to see them. We also saw Tyson’s best friend Kyle and his family; it was their daughters’ first birthday so we went to the party, visited with them and had some great pizza and cake.

Employee of the month

I found out on Saturday that I am the employee of the month for December, the reason why they told me so late it is because they didn’t have the apple trophy that comes with this title, but I am just really excited about it. I am honored to be recognized in this way and there are some cool prizes that I get as well like bonus money and a gift certificate for Applebee’s of course. And needless to say I am really PROUD of myself.
