Easter

Wait, Easter is over? Man, this year has FLOWN by. Don't ya think?

We had a good Easter this year. I love spending time with my family. This past week has been hard for me. I feel slightly alone in salt lake by not having a family close to support in the activities and things they do. I feel useless sometimes.. So seeing these pictures again makes me happy!

(Love the dog trying to see whats in Mia's basket)

Mia got some fingernail polish in her basket and decided to paint my nails. Along with my sister and dad. We all had nails that looked like this.

HOLY GRAPE!

Is this not the largest grape you have ever seen? Goodness!!

Festival of Colors

A couple weekends ago I went to the Festival of Colors. First time going and ok if it is my last! It was pretty fun and cool to get all colorful but there was a butt load of people there. I don't do extremely well with large crowds. I am think next year we will buy the chalk, get a big group of people together and go to a park... wanna join?  You could look like this when we are done:

(Don't you love my sunglasses void??)

For some reason I seemed to be the target for these young kids to walk past me and throw chalk in my face. So next time you see me and you feel like throwing something at my face... go for it.. I am use to it.

April Fools!!

I am not one to really do April Fools jokes. 6 years ago on April Fools my Dad had his heart attack which was one of the scariest days of my life. So April Fools day has never been a day for me to come up with pranks. But I do like to joke around a bit and I got my nephew Garet pretty good.

Little background on Garet. He loves stuffed animals. He spent the night at my parents this past weekend and when me and my mom where tucking the boys in bed I noticed he had about 5 different little stuffed animals all next to him. He also has probably 4+ pillow pets that he sleeps with on his bed. And he has a big dog named Doc. This is how it went:

Me: "Hey Garet, your mom just called and she said Doc got in the house and chewed up all your pillow pets"
Garet: Stunned

Haha, I know is mean but it sure was funny. He laughed about it after, so it was all good!

A Well Needed Update.

I feel like I haven't really posted anything about my life lately. Just a bunch of random things. I thought pajama church day would be a great day to give that update.

I am still living down in Salt Lake area. Me & my roomie were hoping to find some place new as our lease is up end of April but man did we struggle to find something. So the outcome is staying in our place another 3 months and hopefully finding something more downtown when that time is up. One of the reasons we want to leave our apartment now is the new upstairs neighbors. They are awful... completely awful! A week or two after they moved in they decided to party until 6a.m. one Friday night. We had to call the cops on them, it was so bad. Then a few nights later they decided to hang stuff on there walls and put furniture together at 2a.m.. They are always doing laundry extremely weird hours, always trying to get into our apartment (thinking it is their), I can hear them peeing when I am getting ready in the morning, and the other night I woke up at 5a.m. to the dad screaming and cursing, threatening to beat his kids (or wife maybe...all I know for sure is he likes the "F" word). It is all driving me nuts and wears me out. I can't wait to have a home of my own again.

Work is going great. I have been helping out on some hospitality and commercial projects and learning lots of new things. It is great! I am very fortunate to be working at such a great place. The owner takes very good care of his employees. I am so use to working at large corporations so being at a smaller business has its differences but I am really enjoying everything about it.

My singles ward is good. I am not sure I have ever mentioned I am a Sunday School teacher (which is the dreaded calling). It has been good for me though. I am lucky to have a small class with easy subjects but I still get nervous. Its needed for me though, I have already learned a lot.

Its been hard moving to a new place where I don't know very many people. But I am making new friends and learning a lot of things about myself. I am very grateful I had Heather to move down with because I am not sure I could have done it on my own. I am sure if push came to shove I could have but it makes it easier to have at least one person you know.

Still working on the boyfriend situation and no new crazy dating stories... sorry!

I have kind of gotten away from taking photos but I am going to try a lot harder to get back on that. I miss having so many pictures. So there should be good things to come, especially with summer on the way!

Cheerio!!
