The Cefalo's: What has been going on?

The family blog has been neglected the past few weeks. I usually try to write twice a month but things have kept us busy. We started the month off with my Easter and my birthday. Easter went so fast. We spent the morning at my parents and then went over to Jakes parents for dinner that afternoon. It was a really nice day with the family. Nathan was a hit in his super cute suit we got for him. Pictures will come soon. I have just been waiting for the good weather. As for my birthday it was small and simple. One of my exciting birthday presents was that I was featured on the Utah Bride Blog for my photography. I am sure that most people that follow this blog follow the other but...here it is just in case :)My parents had everyone over for cake and ice cream the day before and then Jake took me out a couple of times. I got a flip video camera for my birthday. I have used it a ton but I am sorry to say that I don't really know how to upload them to the blog so you might not being seeing many of my cool home videos. :) That was also a great week because Chan got baptized. Everyone was super excited for her.

After my birthday we got the news we have been waiting on for the past several months. We finally know where we are headed. Elko is the land we will call home for the next several years. We are excited and a little scared. We don't really have much time to find a place to live so we are hoping and praying that things will come together smoothly. Our tentative moving date is June 1st. It might change a little but we know we have to be there before June 14th. Jake will be working for Barrick Gold. He worked for them last summer. Our life will change quite a bit once we go out there. Jake and I a used to be around family and friends on pretty much a daily basis. Now we will be at least 3 1/2 hours away. We will also have to change out night owl ways. Jake will have to be on the bus at 4:00 am to drive an hour and a half to his mine. They will be long work days but that means we will always have 3 day weekends :) That will make it easier to come back for visits.

Right now we are just trying to make it through the last week of the semester. Last week Jake had his awards banquet for his department. I was very proud of him. He received the Oblad silver medal from his professors. This was really a great honor. We are just excited for this next friday. He will present his senior project to his professors and then he is done.
