And update for February and March...I'm lazy~

Well I know that I haven't really updated anything these last few months and I did that for a very specific reason. You see it was just so hectic that I didn't have time to update everything that happened when it happened so I decided that I would update this blog once everything was over and done with. And it finally is over and done with for now. Does that even sound logical? I thought it did, but I'm also slightly crazy, so I can't really make that judgment call there. Haha... So here are my updates for you! And I even have pictures, but I'll have to post them next time because I can't find my SD card! Blah! I promise to hunt them down and post them as soon as I can.

The first thing I am going to update you on is that my darling husband, Jonathan, celebrated is 25th birthday on the 20th of February. We had a lot of fun celebrating the special day with him. We didn't exactly spend his birthday doing fun stuff. It was more like the whole week leading up to his birthday! But it was lots of fun!

The next thing I wanted to share is that I had the opportunity to go up to Provo to see my dear friend and old roommate, Heather Hawkins, go into the MTC on her mission on the 24th of February. She will be serving in Australia and I couldn't be more happy for her. She seemed really excited to be going and I will keep her in my prayers as she goes off on this exciting adventure. I was also able, at that time, to visit with many friends that I haven't seen in quite some time because we had a little party for Heather. It was a lot of fun. But I was also able to spend time with Jamie, outside of the party for Heather. We spent a few hours together and her son James and my little Liam played together which was a delight to watch.

Still another update is that also on the 24th it was my baby boy's very first birthday! Once we got home from Provo I made him his very own cake. He just loved it to pieces; literally. It was so fun to watch him attack his cake and shove it in his mouth and just make a huge mess. And then he inspired us to all get into a cake fight, which was hilarious to say the least. There was chocolate cake everywhere! It was a blast and it made me happy to see my little guy have so much fun!

And yet another update is that on the 1st of March we celebrated Hannah's second birthday! She was born on Leap Day and I know that she doesn't have a birthday for a couple more years technically, but it was fun to celebrate with her. Now Hannah was a little bit more dainty about her cake. She ate it just like a big girl, and still managed to get some chocolate everywhere on her face. And she opened her presents which consisted of quite a few princess items. She even got a Tinkerbell costume, which she loves, even though it doesn't fit her! Hopefully she'll grow eventually to fit into normal clothes!

And as for the month of March There are things to tell. For one Jonathan and I were supposed to go to Nauvoo on a vacation, but because of the weather we ended up staying in Utah and going back up to Provo just this last little weekend. It was a nice little getaway even though we didn't really get to visit with any friends. We had fun just relaxing and spending time together. Also, we've been spending a lot of time getting our apartment all figured out and organized, though the kids come right behind me and mess it up again. It gets aggravating at times, but hopefully one day things will finally be put together! Then, we've been working on getting all of our homework done in preparation for finals. Sometimes I feel a little bit stressed right now about getting everything done, but if I just keep my chin up and focus on working my hardest things will work out. I keep praying for the best. And I've gotten a 94 on my midterm for my art class which is encouraging. I just need to keep plucking away and praying and praying that it all works out!

And on another happy note, my dad was able to come home for Easter! It's so nice to see him for a few weeks. I know that he's enjoying his time here as much as we are having him.

Whew that was a long post for ya! I probably could write more too, but I'll refrain until the next post. I shall hopefully have my pictures located and posted. And I will elaborate on General Conference! Then you'll read more of my ramblings. But until then I shall bid farewell.
