Well not exactly...We've been kind of boring, but not entirely. Over the weekend, we tried two restaurants that we were pleased with especially since both were in our neighborhood. We also went mountain biking (on our new bikes)! We biked to a trailhead of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and rode a few miles on it. Mountain biking is VERY different from road biking. I really struggled with sections of the trail and I hope with more practice, I can improve. I think I did a little better on Sunday, but I was still a little frustrated with myself. For this weekend, we are thinking of driving to a trailhead and taking the Dog Lake trail which is supposed to be a "must do" on utahmountainbiking.com. We also took advantage of our gym membership and went to the pool on Saturday. We lounged in the sun and when an open lane opened up, we jumped in a did a workout. Since it's always sunny here and very warm AND there is an outdoor pool, all the ladies wear two-piece swim suits. Well, I was wanting a two-piece too and it turned out that Brad needed new suits and paddles, so I threw in a grab bag 2-piece suit into our cart from swimoutlet.com. Our order came in on Monday and Brad and I tested our new suits out last night. I love my new Speedo two-piece!!
In other news, I started my new job at Backcountry.com. It's never easy starting a new job, but I have 2 full days under my belt and I'm getting the hang of it. Once I have worked at Backcountry for 30 days, I can start getting my awesome employee discount and I will also get a friends and family discount that I will give out which is called a "Bro Discount." You can use the code as often as you like and items will be priced at Backcountry (wholesale) cost + 40%. I stand and walk all day long at my job, so it's physically exhausting and I hope my body will adapt to it soon. It's very different from sitting at a desk job all day which is what I was accustomed to. I keep telling myself that I'm so fortunate to not be sitting on my butt all day when my legs and feet get tired.
Brad's fellowship is going well and he is also adjusting to a new job and figuring out where everything is located. We're starting to think about some possible trips/vacations we want to take while we're out here, but it's tough since neither of our schedules are set in stone right now. It's still nice to think about where we want to travel.
So basically, we've been focusing on work all this week (and being boring) and we will probably continue to be boring until we don't feel so new at our jobs anymore. That being said, I will try to not be as boring and have some fun stuff to talk about (with pictures) for our next update on the blog.
Stay tuned...
