Well here we are in North Carolina!  We don't have all of the boxes unpacked yet but we did get our new driver's licenses yesterday.  Our new apartment is definitely bigger than the one in Logan but at the same time there is less space to store things.  We used the last of our gift cards from getting married to buy a couple shelves for the kitchen since it only has a couple cupboards for storage.  We also got a couch from Craigslist and a couple of pieces of furniture from Goodwill.  All in all it is shaping up very nice.

Heather currently has three (or maybe its four) job applications that she is waiting to hear back about.  Of all the jobs she is most excited about a couple of pediatric nutrition jobs in the UNC Healthcare system.  We could definitely use some prayers on that front though.

I have been working for one of my new professors this past week.  He only has enough money to hire me for two months this summer but I hope I can find some other project to do during August.  For my Physics buddies who will understand this: we are working on a Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) system.  Right now I am writing a LabVIEW program that looks at data from one computer and uses it to tell another computer whether it should open or close some shutters between the source elements and the sample.  Technically I believe the setup is called "phase lock epitaxy."  It isn't a new idea by any means but our lab has never done it before so it is new to us.

Pictures are forthcoming in the next post!

It is official, I will be a Tar Heel this fall.  Within the Call family Heather and I have dubbed ourselves the "Carolina Calls."  We are excited to be going but it is happening very fast.  Currently we are in the process of deciding what to take and what to leave behind.  Logan has been a pretty awesome place for us and we are sad to leave but we are very excited for what the future holds.

The plan is for me to do summer research in the Physics department and Heather is currently applying for jobs in different labs on campus.  She wants to work for a year and then try applying again next year.  She will also be studying for the RD (Registered Dietitian) exam this summer.  I will also be correcting the formatting problems on my thesis and probably doing some more analysis for my USU advisor while he looks for a new student.  Hopefully between those things we can find time to get to know our new neighborhood and enjoy the fun of living in a new place.
