Our Home is Now Omaha

"All Our Bags Are Packed, We're Ready to Go"
Leaving Utah was hard becuase we will miss all of our
Friends and Family!!! We love you guys!!!
A BIG thank you to everyone who helped us move.


Omaha...Here we come! Driving through the miles and miles of corn fields was amazing.
This picture, however, is of a giant sunflower patch. What a sight to see :)




This is our new home! And this is the fun part - the Baby's Room!


And its dresser.







Tyler got all of his stuff put in with the kid, in the Baby's Room, because he is still a Kid at Heart!
Hopefully he doesn't get too distracted while studying :)



Our family room.


And where I do most of my business - the Kitchen!






We are loving it so far here in Omaha, Nebraska. The people have been great to us and there is a lot of fun stuff to do so Tyler and I will have fun date nights on the weekends when he is not in school. The heat is pretty bad though, but it is beginning to cool down - phew :) Outside our apartments there are these nasty bugs called Sequedas. They sound a constant buzzing like crickets but on steroids! Tyler has Law School Orientation this Thursday so we are trying to make every moment count until he starts! Classes start the following Monday with his first class being Constitutional Law - Yikes! Glad it's him and not me :) :) I get to stay home once I have the baby and play!!! Really, I am currently looking for a job. I will work for about four months until we have our baby and then the fun/parenting begins.
We miss everyone! Keep in touch!

In two cities at once!!! Omaha is about ten minutes away from Iowa. Ya baby!!


I didn't know how to flip this picture but this is Tyler on campus.



Inside the cathedral that's on campus. The school has a mass every friday for all of the Jesuit students.

This statue was on campus. There are lots of status similiar to this all over campus.



In the middle of downtown Omaha, there is a park dedicated to the pioneers that came across the plains. It was really neat. This is a picture of one of the statues there.


This really showed how hard it must have been to come across the plains. The pioneers really were amazing.





We were so lucky to be able to see this!!! It really hit home how much our pioneer ancestors did for us!!!

The Library. This is going to be Ty's second home.

West Virginia

Okay so a couple of weeks ago we were lucky enough to visit West Virginia!! For those of you who don't know, Tyler got into West Virginia University's Law school!! We were so excited to visit and see the campus and the area. The first night we stayed in Pittsburgh and then drove to Morgantown, WV in the morning. We had a blast!!!! We have decided that we will either be going to WV, Kansas or Creighton Law school. We have finally started to narrow down our choices!! We should know in about two weeks where we are going for sure!! Here are some pictures from our trip:
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's TYLER!!!!!

Pittsburg

This is our first night there. We drove up to Mount Washington so we could see the whole city. Isn't it beautiful!


Tyler by one of pittsburg's bridges. There are supposibly around 1200 bridges in the city.




More bridges


West Virginia really was wild and wonderful!!! Gotta love it!!



These are the HUGE frat houses!! Party Central on this street!!!!



This was an awesome building! It was the English Department. The campus is absolutly beautiful.


This is the river that runs through Morgantown. The name of it is hard to pronounce so everyone calls it the Mon River. It is beautiful.

West Virginia's Mascot, the Mountaineer. It is really funny because people in West Virginia think that their hills are actually mountains. They told us we could go skiing on their Mountains and we asked where the mountains were. They said, "you are standing on them." ha ha. I guess they have never seen the rockies!!
This is where all of the football players workout at WVU.

The hall of fame of WVU football players


WVU football Stadium. The people in West Virginia love their football. One guy told us that tickets sale for about $100 a seat.
