a lot has happened since we last talked....


hey everyone, at long-last, blogging silence has ended. a lot has happened since i last posted, namely the fact that Sarah got a new job in Des Moines, which she started this past monday. she is now work at Principal Financial as an Investor Relations Specialist to Spanish-speaking clients. she's still in training, obviously, but she really seems to like it, which is always a good thing. the bad thing is that we moved her down there last weekend and i will continue to live here in Waterloo until i graduate, which will be the first week of may. it will be very weird to be here and for her to be there, but its only for a few months.... and a couple friends of ours were gracious enough to offer their spare bedroom to me while i am stuck here, so thats way cool.

also, last october i entered a few of my school projects into a design competition known as the Addys (short for Advertising Awards) and i found out a month and a half ago that i won a Silver Addy for my logo design (it is the picture above). we had the awards gala last saturday night, which was way more professional than i am used to.... lots of big-wig ad people from Cedar Rapids/Iowa City schmoozing with one another. it was a lot of fun, though, to be included and am very happy to have been given this award (cue the music).
