USAA

Friday afternoon I got to visit Nick at work and tour the USAA campus! It was for the interns families to come and check out where they work. They fed us lunch and gave us a presentation on the overview of the company and some of the perks of the jobs. Then we were able to walk around the building and go through their "museum" of the company and the growth of the military since that is who they provide services for. Everything is huge! I guess we are in Texas!! The building is a 3/4 mile long and is set on about 260 acres! There are deer all around along with hiking trails, sports fields of all kinds and lakes which they stock sometimes for fishing. We were able to see the desks they use and a small portion of the building. My favorite was of course the gift shop.. j/k. It was cool though. They have like their own world inside the building. It has anything you could think of including cafeterias, stores, a bank and rest stations with Wii's! It looks like a great company to work for and I really hope they will have a spot for him to stay and work!
Friday night we also were able to have two couples over to hang out. We played Apples to Apples and a ton of Wii games. I am so glad we have found some other young couples that enjoy a lot of the same activites as us! We have already planned our next adventure this wednesday with yet another couple in our ward and it should be fun. Now all that is left is planning our girls activities for during the day when the boys are at work! Maybe the Mission Trails this week?! Also, I am really excited for this weekend because we have some friends from Rexburg who might be stopping by and the Rodeo with all the interns and their families!! I will try to remember to take some pictures!!
