here's a quick glance of the past month or so!!!
-had a lovely week break in between semesters which included turtle sitting and a road trip up to washington.
after a nice but wayyyy to quick stay-we headed back home and start school/work once again. David got a really great job and was quickly promoted which has been so nice! he is now works form 8-5 and will be able to continue the same job for his internship this upcoming fall. we are so incredibly blessed for this amazing opportunity.
along with david getting a job, i did as well. m-f i work in the academic advising center for the business and communications college and then on saturday's i work 2 sessions of a conference for B&C students-it's been great having a job, but it's a whole new experience juggling school and work-it has brought a whole new meaning of prioritizing and planning. :)
well along with weddings we were able to attend the wedding of our dear friends Casey and Michael Murphy-LOVE THEM they are just the greatest friends anyone could ever ask for and were so excited to go to their sealing and later reception! i lost the fight for the bouquet to a girl with an intense box-out but david did us proud and got the garter...not to mention that he was the only one over the age of 12 fighting for it. i think the tallest one reached mid waist...oh how i'm so proud of my little fighter!!
david's friend jeff came into town and we had a blast with him and his sister as well-they did this trick with making your face do weird things to get a funny picture...i failed, but david and jeffy did a great job. once again, that's my man-doing us proud!!
so david and i have started to go on adventures and mini road trips to get out of rexburg. since the weather has been snowy off and on still we've been taking advantage of any sunny day hotter than 55* haha. these are some pics of our trip out to the falls...please notice david's perfect capture of my big foot impression
we've been trying to take advantage of the weather and since david's house has a fire pit we decided to make some smores. while here at school david and i have made some great friends, and one of the best couples is my cousin morgan and his fiance julie!! they are the greatest and so much fun to hang out with! we're in a continuous competition of Blokus and 5 crowns. david and morgan even have a 'band' and play guitar and sing together while julie and i just bask in their talent and cheer them on.
the most important part of this whole blog are the following photos...david decided that with mothers day coming up i shouldn't feel left out. since we don't have any children, or a dog, he decided to help me prepare for motherhood in a different way. HE GOT ME A TURTLE!!!!! wahoo!!!!! i've always wanted one and finally he came! david totally surprised me and it's been the best! i turtle sat laura's turtles over the week break and it was a easy-we had exercise and bath time and fed them plenty...and the love has now moved on to my own turtle! since i'm obsessed with the movie, 'how to train a dragon' i named him toothless :) he's the best turtle ever and so active! he's an underwater turtle and is so active with swimming up and down every day. he loves to dig and burrow in his blue rocks and he also likes climbing on his play skull that david got to decorate his tank.
along with toothless-how to train a dragon is such an incredible movie and has quickly won first place in my heart. david surprised me earlier this week with a date night to get sushi dragon roll followed by how to train your dragon-he knows me too well :)
i just about died because i accidentally x-ed out of the blog but thank you draft saving!! phew!
in rexburg, there are 3 buses-2 taco buses, and one glorious japanese bus which will soon move locations to the hogi yogi down by the hart-well...it's seriously the best food ever-i was craving meat and so david surprised me with this 5 dollar box of goodness...i ate till i felt like i was going to puke then put the rest of the food in 4 Tupperware containers...4 OF THEM!!! there was SO MUCH FOOD but it was so good...i had the left overs for the following breakfast, lunch and dinner-talk about getting your money's worth!! i mentioned to david that we could save so much money by just buying these every week...it's like 3 days worth of food for 10 dollars for the both of us.
also, in the summer there's a small farmer's market between taco bell and the catholic chapel-it's divine...we got some roasted corn with chili on it and mmmm perfect for a nice summer's evening! needless to say, we'll be back for more corn and fudge!!! along with david and i, laura and our friend andy came with us-it's always a party with andy...and he too is a frequent competitor in our 5 crown games.
well i know that there is so much more-but i'm finally getting tired! david and i ended up taking an unexpected nap from 5-7:30 on the couch today. much needed, but because of it i am not tired AT ALL. i hate not being able to sleep because tomorrow's going to be rough!
this weekend david and i are getting our engagements done by his fantastic cousin wendy! we're so excited and know it's going to be so great!!! also, we're staying with his grandparents and they are always a party-we're going to try and introduce 5 crowns to them to see if we can get them addicted as well. nothing brings families together like card games! :D david's just excited to have a rematch of the price is right on the Wii with grandpa gailey.
