We Moved

Life has been crazy. In November, Ty was offered an internship with the Idaho Stampede (a basketball team in the NBA D-League) in Boise. The internship started on December 7th, and the semester ended for him on the 14th. So basically, in a month we had to pack our apartment in Rexburg, find an apartment in Boise, leave half our things in storage, move to Boise, and go back to Rexburg for 2 days twice so Ty could finish his finals. Life won't always be like this, right?

Now that we have settled down (at least for a little while) we are happy and loving our most recent adventure. I started working at a preschool and am so happy there. The kids are cute and the work is fun. Kids really do say the funniest things. They also eat Play-Doh and get boogers and yogurt all over your pants.

Ty is loving his internship. When we first got married he was majoring in psychology and then decided that he  didn't love it and was really interested in working in pro sports. Now that he's working with a basketball team it is so obvious that he's doing what he loves. He's happy to go to work everyday and is enjoying every minute of this internship.

so official with his name tag

Ty was put in charge of  ticketing and the will call office. He prints the tickets during the week and then organizes them for game day and is in the office before the game so that people can pick them up. 

this is a snapshot from the team website. we were so excited when we saw his name on there. so cool! 

I've been able to go to all the games which has been awesome. It's fun to get to know the players and keep track of how the team is doing and watch them play every weekend. It's also nice to have a hook up for free tickets and the occasional court side seat! 

This is Fab Melo. He is 7'1" and will probably play for the Celtics soon.

After about a month of interning for the team and getting more responsibility, a position opened up in the front office and instead of hiring an outsider, the team was kind enough to offer Ty the position. He is now a full time employee of the Idaho Stampede and is doing some sales and marketing things for the team, as well as the ticketing and will call stuff. He is having a lot of fun with his new responsibilities and is learning lots of new things. Not a bad first "real" job. We feel so blessed and are grateful that Ty's been able to have such a great experience!

moving up in the world :)
