Easter

This past weekend Nate and I headed up to Twin to spend some time with my family. We had a blast. Saturday Nate and Brandon went jeeping and had fun, while I stayed and played with Elli and helped my mom make some burp cloths. That night we all headed out to my aunt's house for some good old fashion fun and to celebrate my mom's birthday. There were some pretty good gifts given! Sunday we all sat down to Easter dinner and watched Ellie open her basket from the Easter Bunny. It was a great weekend and we had a great time!Elli getting to play in all of the fun places in Grandma's kitchen!My mom found the "baby bananas" as she calls them and let Elli get a little taste of one.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!!!!

Ok, so I know that it has been quite a while since I last posted something. Things have been quite crazy around here. After getting back home from babysitting up in Twin for a week and a half (which was such a blast hanging out with my little niece, Janessa and Danica, and getting to visit my good friend Desi and their new baby Jack) , I started a new full time job and work anywhere from 40-50 hr/week. In addition to that I drive down to Brigham City (it's about a 30 min drive) twice a week to attend a class that will help me in continuing my pursuit in getting a job in cardiac rehab. That adds about another 4-5 hours of class work and lab instruction to my crazy schedule, and then there is all the usual day-to-day stuff like making dinner, keeping the house clean, doing laundry, working out (list goes on and on). Despite all of the craziness, Nate and I are doing great. He is working away and we are both trying to get things ready for when we move this summer. We do still find time to have some fun. Last week Nate was so great. I was working late almost everyday and was in the middle of trying to get another blanket done for his cousin's wedding shower. I would stay up till past midnight measuring, cutting, and sewing to try and get it done in time. Well Friday night rolled around and as usual it was past midnight when I finished sewing everything and was so exhausted from a busy week, that I was not looking forward to the hour it would take me to cut the seams and get it ready to wash. ( I was making a rag quilt) Instead of going to bed, Nate stayed up with me cutting and doing all the finishing work. He was such a sweetheart!!! The next day on the way to Salt Lake I finished the hand embroidering of their names and wedding date just as we arrived. Thanks to a loving husband it was a success!! Nate and I celebrated our 6th month anniversary!!! I know most of you have been married a lot longer, but we are quite amazed how fast the time has gone! I will try to do better in keeping up with things in our lives. We love you all and hope things are well with all of you.
