Well hi there everyone. It's been awhile since I blogged (again). It's hard to find things to blog about.
It's been an interesting winter. There's been storms one minute and springlike weather the next.
I moved apartments again. My landlord took the bed I was sleeping in, so Ivan and I went to pack up all of my things late one night and left with only 20 minutes notice. I now live in another apartment, with a nice roommate. Things are looking good now. only a few months left.
Today I called somewhere to start an internship there. It didn't work out so now I've got to start looking for another place to intern. It's okay, I'm sure I'll find something!
Well, friends, that's all for now.

Winter Semester 2011
Hello all!
Ivan and I are sitting in the University of Utah Library tonight studying. Actually, he's applying for a scholarship, and I've just finished taking a test (88.75% if you wanted to know). This is my first time in this library, but it's Ivan's favorite after-school hangout. The Marriot Library is open until 2:00 am most nights, so it's a good spot to come and study!
This will be our third week of the semester and things are going really well so far. Ivan has perfect scores and I am doing my best too. Both of us are working and doing great!
Here are some pictures of us at school with the big poster behind us. We were finished with our first Monday evening class!

This guy is so funny!
President Richards, the President of LDSBC, and I after his devotional. He's a wonderful speaker!
Here is Pres. Richards with Ivan. Looking good, guys!
We have been busy for the start of the semester, but this is my last at the LDSBC so I'm going to push myself as hard as I can! Ivan always works hard, but he's especially working hard this semester for his goal of a 4.0. I know he can do it!
The other day, I was adventurous and bought my very first Groupon. I was so excited because it was for a Peruvian restaurant located in Sandy. The name is El Inti and the business has been around for about four months. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. I also have to mention that they have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu listed, which was such a wonderful change for me. That's one of the main reasons that I purchased the Groupon, because they mentioned it in the ad. I was excited to not have to question whether what I was eating was vegan.
I ordered Lomo Saltado (with zuccini instead of steak). This was only my second attempt at eating Peruvian food. It was sooo good. I highly recommend it. Ivan ordered Seco. This was also very good.
Pictures to come soon.
Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy New Year 2011!!
Hello friends!
First, allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Ivan from Peru and Jane from Nevada. As a New Year's Resolution, we both wanted to journal more and we decided to start a blog. We wanted to share our lives through this blog and to help our friends and family know what is going on in our lives! Hopefully, we will be able to learn a few things about ourselves and each other as we look back on this blog.
It all started at summer semester at LDS Business College in Salt Lake City, Utah, where we both are attending classes. We were both taking a typing class. We didn't think that there would be time to meet anyone special in that class because we were just being graded on our typing. Everyone in the class was focused on typing quickly to earn a good score. Jane is a "front of the class" type of person. Ivan is not.
One day, Jane was getting ready to go to work as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and wore her work uniform to school. Ivan noticed her in the front of the class and came to ask her where she worked. (By the way, this is Jane speaking.) Ivan came up to Jane and was speaking in Spanish. She just stared at him because she doesn't speak Spanish. Then they discovered they were in the same program, Medical Assisting, at the college. Jane and Ivan decided to drive to her work so that he could pick up an application for employment so they walked and made it to the first floor when Jane realized she forgot her packed lunch. Ivan ran up seven flights of stairs to pick up the blue lunch bag and ran down the stairs to give it back. Then they drove to work.
It was the beginning of a great thing.
During the ride, they got to know each other very well (It's a twenty minute drive.). They came from similar backgrounds. After that they realized that they were perfect for each other. At that time, Ivan was living in Provo on the weekends and they met each other on a Wednesday. They exchanged phone numbers like usual. On Sunday Jane drove to Provo to visit Ivan because he promised her that he would cook traditional Peruvian food. Ivan couldn't believe that she actually would drive to Provo to visit him! Jane arrived early to Provo in order to attend the Spanish Ward with Ivan. After church they went to Ivan's brother's house and make steak and chicken. After that they watched music videos and had a wonderful time together. :)
That was just the beginning.
until later....
