Life in America's Dairyland

We've made it! Our family is now settled in and thoroughly enjoying Wisconsin. It is so beautiful here! We love how green everything is, and how there's nothing but farms as far as the eye can see.

The town we live in is very small. We live right on the main street and have a good view of everything from our living room windows. Monday, we celebrated Memorial Day by watching the parade go past our house. Our bedroom balcony made for a perfect view. The parade only lasted about 5 minutes, but it was great, "small town America" fun.

Church is amazing- it's only been one Sunday and we absolutely LOVE our branch. Everyone has been so warm and friendly. There are lots of young families in the branch, and many who graduated from BYU who are now working for Lands' End, so we feel very comfortable around them already! On Monday, we were invited to a Memorial Day picnic, and the night before that we had been invited to a marshmallow roast. Everyone is really fun to be around and get to know.

Travis started work yesterday, but he has a couple of days of orientation before he can really get to the meat of his work. But he's very excited to see what he can learn from and contribute to Lands' End.

Everything that we've seen and experienced out here so far has been amazing. We've truly loved it and can't wait for the rest of summer to get underway!

Wisconsin, Ho!

We're moving! For the summer, that is. Travis accepted a summer internship with Lands' End where he'll work with a group of inventory strategists (although he tells everyone he's been hired as a model...). He was flown out for a second interview last month and was able to meet his team and see the facilities. He was very impressed, and is excited to work with them.

We already have so many ideas of fun things we need to do while in Wisconsin! We can't wait for all the adventures that await us there this summer.
