New stuff

I thought I would update about the new things in our life. The two biggest things are that we got a new truck and we got a new puppy. I was trying to wait until I could post pictures, but I cannot find the cord that will dowload it from my camera to my computer. The truck is a 2004 Toyota Tundra. It's really nice, and it does well in the snow. The dog is a seven week old hound mix. He's really cute, but he bites a lot!

We did hear from the NRC and they offered Cameron a job. He's leaning towards staying in Elko though, because the cost of living is so high in DC. He's still thinking about it though, so we'll see!

Also, Tammy said that she was going to make me the official baker of the family reunion. I was wondering if there were any request. I'm definitely making Mexican Chocolate Cake and Fat Man's Misery, but does any one else have suggestions? I was thinking maybe ice cream cake or sugar cookies. Just let me know.

Finally, thanks every one for all my birthday calls and well wishes. I apologize to Shane though, because he called me after I had already been asleep for a little while, so I'm not exactly sure what we talked about!

I hope everyone's doing well, and I can't wait until the reunion!

Interview

Sorry that it took so long too update. It sounds like you guys want to know how Cam's interview went. Cam thinks that it went well, but he's disappointed because it's not the job he thought it was. He applied for a lot of different jobs with the NRC, and he thought this was the nuclear inspector job, but apparently it wasn't. He'd be more of an office man. Also, he was shocked at just how much higher the cost of living is over there. We'd be living right by DC and a crappy apartment is about the same cost as our house payment! We don't know officially if he has been offered the job yet, but we're not sure we're going to take it even if they offer. Another reason for us to stay is that his job is getting better. Some of the higher ups have taken notice of the work he has been doing, and they've started giving him his own projects! He's also been asked to do some Met II stuff, and he's still officially only a Met I. So, with the downside of going to DC added to the plus side of living here, it's looking more and more like we'll be here for awhile.

This last part is for Shane. I got FFVII Advent Children to work! It's not the highest quality possible, but it still looks pretty cool. I'll be bringing you a copy.

Jobs

I have some exciting news. Cameron has a job interview with the NRC! (Nuclear Regulatory Commision) This was the job that he really wanted, but he didn't think they were going to contact him. He flies to DC on Sunday and will interview in Rockville, Maryland on Monday. Obviously, if he gets this job, we won't be going back to school. I think he will basically be a nuclear inspector, but I'm not exactly sure where the job is located. Probably somewhere on the East coast though. It will be much easier for me to find an actuary job if we move to the East coast, so it would be good all around. I'll be taking the first actuarial exam on the 23rd of this month, so wish me luck!
