We do know that we aren't going to Ohio though. And that Wayne is on "hold" at Mass Art. Whatever that means. The sooner we can find out yay or nay, the better.
I've already started submitting resumes and whatnot in both Boston and San Jose though. Wish me luck on my first phone interview this week, though I think they are looking for someone with a PhD. I expect I'll find that with a lot of positions...I'm either overqualified with a Masters (programmer/developer positions), or underqualified without a PhD (researcher positions). Hmm. I'm hoping to find a research developer position, helping develop programs the researchers want to work on. But a job that pays would be better than nothing. :)
We also heard that Wayne won an award (most likely a scholarship) from the visual arts department at BYU for this summer. Yay. We won't hear official word about amounts or whatever until Wednesday evening at the awards ceremony. And I thought BYU had blacklisted Wayne...one instance in which I'm glad to be proven wrong!
Whew. We did lots this week. We saw Swan Lake performed by Ballet West Friday night. It was soooo much fun. We were very impressed by the talent and beauty we experienced that night. It was my first time seeing a professional ballet, and it made me wish *I* were a ballerina. Who knew? :) My one complaint was the cheesy ending, but I can understand that they wanted to appeal to the typical Utah crowd. [I don't think that the original ending included a "Saturday's Warrior" feel to it. -wayne]
Saturday we spent up in Salt Lake all day for one of my college friend's wedding. It was a long day, and I wasn't even the one having to smile and greet people and pose for pictures! But it was well done. And a lot of fun to hang out with friends I don't see very often, who also came into town. I liked the chinese food theme for the reception.
Today we had Easter dinner with Karl and Angela, and were sad we couldn't talk Aunt Sharla into coming. :) But we understand. I enjoyed the traditional Madsen dinner, but this time I added my own element too. :) Deviled eggs! Mmm. Because, Jesus was tempted by the devil for 40 days, and they have mustard in them for the mustard seed, and because they symbolize birth (we can be born spiritually in Christ). I knew I could work them in somehow....
We also had stake conference today. Wayne leaned over a little bit into it and asked if our stake has especially rowdy kids or something, but I remember last stake conference was actually an especially good conference. We decided most of the kids probably either were on sugar highs from Easter candy, or wanted to be. Hehehe.
Well I think that's about all folks. Hope everyone has a good week. We should be pretty busy this week; finals are approaching and we got lots to do still!
