Life As We Know It

TIME

Yep that's what has been lacking lately.

We have been pretty busy with everything crazy going on. 

I think I just wrote 4 papers in the last 2 days, but I'm super

pleased with myself because they are all final projects!! 

We have about 3 weeks left of school, then we get a week 

of finals and a few days off until Grant starts Spring classes.

I won't be taking classes because there aren't any available 

for my major, but I will be working as much as possible. 

So it hasn't all been work and no play, we have had 

some fun lately though! My co-worker/ mission friend Allen 

got married this past weekend. Also my trainer JoJo had her 

bridal shower, she gets married April 4th! I'm now not the only

one married :) Here we have some pictures from the past few weeks:

 Grant has decided he will become the Next Great Baker!

 I had to teach a creative dance to 9-10 year old girls- 

Balloon Dance it is!

 This was a Throwback Thursday from my dad's Iraq 

article in the Moses Lake Herald way back when.

 The beautiful bride-to-be my Sese!!

  Friday I was able to spend the day watching this hunk work.

 Beautiful Sunny Saturday

 At Allen's reception with my mission buddies!

 The Twin's turned 15 on Monday!! I'm getting so old..

Here are the many faces of my adorable husband. 

We have too much fun :D

We have had some crazy days, but in the end I'm so grateful.

Sunny Saturday

It was such a fabulous day.

We did end up running around some stores,

searching for wedding gifts for some friends.

Grant was super patient with me so I owed him some lunch. 

Finally we got our grocery shopping done and

we made it home before 3 pm. yay.

The picture depicts some of my favorite things of this day: 

leggings, my cute husband, homemade chimichangas, 

and my new watch! So it's been a good Saturday.

:) 

Tomorrow I teach Primary again, so hope that goes well!

Grant unfortunately has to work tomorrow... 

But we will make it a great day and I hope you do too. 

My Birthday

Happy Birthday to ME!

My family, husband, and friends know how

 to make my day! I know I'm getting older when

my birthday just seems like another day. 

Grant planned a whole day for me- it started

out with some yummy waffles :) 

We went to SLC and found his cousin on 

Temple Square so that was fun! 

We grabbed some lunch then went to his

high school basketball teams State Champ game.

They won~ mainly because they are reallllly good.

That night we went out to dinner and had a relaxing night in.

I loved every minute being with my husband and it was the first

time since before the semester that we finally had all day to be 

together. It was the best thing ever. 

Saturday we drove past SLC and went to Cherise King's

mission homecoming. She just returned from Canada and we

hadn't seen her for a few years now. It was really fun to chat with her

again! 

Sunday, being my official birthday day, I was sang to beautifully

by my lovely family on facetime. haha. Then Grant sang to me as 

he lit the "toothpick candles" that we had. Whoops- no candles!

He made a delicious cake and we just enjoyed the rest of the night. 

My present from Grant- a phone case :) 

Then last night we had some fun and made

 homemade fried chicken and mac n' cheese :)

Thank you all for your love and birthday wishes!

It was a great 24th birthday :)
