UPDATE

Hi girls,

I (once again) don't have any pictures to share, but I'll give you an update of my trip to Nevada this weekend (I may have some pictures later this week). I interviewed in Reno on Friday, visited two knitting stores (and didn't buy much, yay for my restraint!), visited the Patagonia outlet store (awesome) and looked at some apartments/houses to rent.

The interview went well. I met with the 5 dietitians, it was real informal and converstational. I think I did a fine job. If I don't get it, that's ok, because I really felt like I did my best. There are 6 other applicants, so pretty tough competition. They said I should hear something this week. I'm trying not to think about it......

Saturday my mom and I looked at apartments. I think it was good for her to learn more about the area and to see that I won't be living in a crackhouse. We found two nice places, both reasonable distances from Kane's work (~25-30 minutes for him) and about 5 minutes from the job I interviewed for.

We spend the rest of our time exploring the area. We drove around Lake Tahoe, Carson, Minden and Reno. My Mom hated Reno proper, but I think that's mainly because it's a city undergoing a facelift. The city planners are in the process of turning downtown into a yuppie playground, complete with waterfront townhouses and a whitewater playpark VS. the old, nasty, trashy, casinos that populate the downtown presently. Let's just say that planners aren't there yet. The foot hills of Mt. Rose were very nice, which is where one of the apartments we looked at is located. She was happier about that.

I'll be sure to update more as I know more. I worked on my sock and a baby bootie (one of my good friends had her baby while we were gone). I'll hopefully finish both soon. I also brought my skirt along, but once again, forgot the pattern!
Keep you posted and happy knitting!
Jamie
