WOW!!!!!

A lot of things have happened lately.

• I went to the doctor three times in two weeks.
• After NOT being given medicine at the doctors and suffering a whole weekend without being able to swallow I was finally given medicine and was better the next day.
• I was told I have Mono. That's right. Just before finals. (arrrrgh...)
• We found a place to live in the fall!
• We decided to go Iowa for the summer.
• I talked to my old job in Iowa and have a full time position for me when I get there.

Man. AHHHHHHHH!!!! Thankfully I will be able to sleep better at night : )

*Sigh*

Today was a GREAT day. Well, I mean, it was ok. I woke up after 9. Yay! And then I took Nathan to school and went back to bed until around noon. HOORAY! How exciting was that!?!?!?! I then procrastinated a lot and ate some food and showered and got ready for the day. I was still late to class (darn it all! I was SOOO close!) I went to class and stayed awake and I got to come home and see Nathan for an hour and a half before going back to school. Which brings me to my *sigh* moment. Don't worry, it's a VERY good sigh. It's my cross cultural interpreting class aka my favorite class ever! Oh my. It is so fun. I just feel like those girls in my class care about me and my awesome and amazing teacher has all the answers to all my questions. I just feel such relief that I can actually interpret in the future. I CAN DO IT!!!! : ) And that makes me very happy. The End.

(yeah, i know it says "Translator" but it's kindof funny. Right?)

It hasn't been THAT long, has it???

Man. The last time I blogged wasn't really ALL that long ago but yet somehow I feel as though I have slacked majorly at my blogging duties. Lets see... Nathan and I went to Denver on the 18th of March. WHY? Well, basically to watch the beginning of March Madness. On television. Yes, you heard me right. We went all the way to Denver to watch TV. Well, and we saw two of nathan's brothers (Adam and Matthew) and his/my sister in law (Debbie). It was fun anyways, although I did watch more basketball than I ever thought was humanly possible!
It is very sad to think that my bracket that I so expertly filled out is practically dead. And with not very many points either... Stupid Syracuse...

Also, I made a new goal to go for a whole month without making the same thing for dinner twice! What a fun thing to do!!!! I started in the middle of March and things seem to be going great. My mom bought me this great new cookbook for St. Patties day. It's called The Worldwide Ward Cookbook. It is FABULOUS!!!!! YUM!


Nathan and I made it to our 4 month anniversary!!! HOORAY US!!!! What can I say? We are just so old in love! : ) We ended up going to the Salt Lake Temple with a friend of mine. It was so fun! And then we went to dinner at Chili's. I got this bacon jalapeno burger. It was great! But I got full after about 3 bites. Lame. AND I REALLY WANTED DESSERT!!! But no room. : ( And the waiter would bring our drinks out 2 at a time. ( I guess he was a little busy...) So I drank like 20 strawberry lemonades. Let me tell you. Bladders don't really appreciate that at one time...


We still don't know what we're doing this summer. Maybe going home to Iowa or maybe Matthew and Debbies house in Denver. Lame. I hate decisions. HATE!!!! And my stupid decision making process is NOT helpful when it comes to making big/important decisions. Ugh.








Tonight's Wednesday. Date night. HOORAY! I wonder what we'll do...

Happy St. Patties Day!

Well, yesterday was St. Patrick's day and to honor our Irish heritage we made green pancakes and green scrambled eggs. YUM! Here's proof:

Green Pancakes

So...This morning was not the greatest. In fact, it was just kindof poopy. I came home from work to get a little more ready for the day and it all started when I hated my hair cutter all over again. She was not very intelligent, especially since she thought it was a good idea to cut about 8 sections of my hair about and inch long. Probably not as bad as it sounds. She lifted up a section of my hair after is was parted so you can really only see it every once in a while while my hair is pulled back. Except for today when my hair is DOWN and you can see these little hairs poking through! WHAT WAS SHE THINKING!!!!???!!?!?!?! Ugh. Then my pants didn't fit right. And I started running behind. And Nathan had to be to work. And I was rushing. And I was mad. And today was NOT a skinny day. Ugh. I sure didn't want to go to school. And yet I went anyways. And it's been a lot better since. I realized that everyone in Utah is real set on taking the Utah interpreting test, even though you can just take the National Test. And hey! I'm not planning on living in Utah! So, I'm going to work on that. We'll see how it goes... : )

Hair!

So I cut Nathans hair today. Yep, all by myself. It's about 5 inches shorter than it was this morning... I went to Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday and picked up a clipper set and whacked it off! HOORAY!!! I don't think it turned out exactly how he expected or hoped...but it'll grow out in two weeks anyways, right? I also made some chocolate chip banana bread today. So domestic, I know! And now we're having scookies (thanks Sara and Aaron!!!) YUM!

Quilt!!!

So, I thought I would put up some pictures of my fabric and the quilt I plan to make. Hooray!

*It's much more cream than it appears...

*Also much pinkier

*Not so redish. More marroony.

This is what the pattern will look like. Hooray!

Well how fun is that? I'm so excited to get started on it. Now I just have to wait until I can get a cutting board and a cutter... Oh, and time : )
