Indiana wants me....

Well my dad kept singing this old song to me called 'Indiana Wants Me', so I finally listened to it and it ain't that bad.

Now to the real reason behind a blog post. We moved out to Seymour, Indiana at the end of May. We have been here now almost three weeks or so. Stephen got and internship with an engine company called Cummins (most may recognize the name from the big Dodge Trucks). So far Stephen likes what he is doing, and he seems to like everyone that is on his team.

All I have been doing is went to visit my parents in Albuquerque, NM. Then I've just been exploring the local area a little... Here are some pictures of the area and funny little things that I have seen.

Entering Indiana, so so green!
Indiana Wine Glass! (at a neat little Flea Market)

 Indiana Hoosiers! I really liked this little town, Bloomington, IN

It can go from groves of really tall trees to....

To fields of corn or other crop in a mile or so.

 Well there is a tid-bit of Seymour, IN for you all. I hope that I will be able to have more to show everyone... The rest of that song 'Indian Wants Me' has a line that says "but I can't go back", I guess we'll see if that is the case.

We are moving to... Seymour, Indiana

Well the time has come when we get to leave Provo, UT. Many may know that I am not very fond of Utah, but it really has nothing to do with the state or the people. It has something to do with growing up in California and not ever wanting to live in Utah. Well now I have lived in Utah for almost 7 years, lived in 8 different apartments/homes during this time...

We have a few more moves before we can actually consider settling down. So Stephen got an internship with Cummins in Seymour, Indiana. For those of you (like me) who are not even sure where Indiana is on a map, it is just below Michigan and the great lakes. Stephen will begin working for Cummins on June 4th. Together we will move out to Seymour, Indiana for about four months. Then Stephen will finish his last (fall) semester of school at BYU while we live in his parents basement one more time. Then with him finally graduated we will then most likely move back to Indiana where Stephen will be employed full-time as an engineer for Cummins.

On the map, we will live in the south east, closest to Kentucky, in Seymour, Indiana.

So one might think, "Won't Indiana be worse because it is farther from California?". Well, I am excited and thinking this will be an awesome opportunity and no, I don't think it will be worse. I think that if anything I am really going to like the flat plains, the mild cold, and possibly the chance to go tour lots of church history sites.

The only question I have is.... What am I going to do out in Indiana? Work at a garden center? Work retail, full-time, part-time? Maybe I can be a mom by then? Or maybe I can find work at a hotel or bank? Or maybe just take it easy and vacation for the summer (doubt that will fly)?
