New Apartment

Mitch and I moved across Cougar Town.  We now live in a spacious apartment, something that is quite luxurious compared to our last place. Today I was especially grateful for our new apartment when I had to go to work. Thank goodness for a covered parking spot that prevented me from having to scrape my windows from this SNOW in the end of May! Anyway, this is just an invite to come an visit us at our new apartment.  We love visitors.  You can even spend the night, we have 2 extra bedrooms! 

Summer Cautionary Note

During the school year, I am great about checking my email--I have to in order to be a good TA! And as such, I was really good at checking blogs frequently and somewhat frequently (at least for me) blogging myself this last school year.  

Now it is summer, and I fail to check my email as regularly as I should. But I will do my best to not drop off the face of the earth. I will still check blogs and sometimes put a post up myself, but bare with me! 

Once June 7th comes and goes, Mitch and I will have more exciting things to talk about besides work and studying.  However, I do have an AWESOME weekend coming up....

A wedding, girl's weekend out with mom and sisters, super fun date with Mitch on Saturday, the Jazz vs. Lakers...what more can you ask for on the first weekend in May?

Oh yes, and I get to honor my Mother--the best in the world!

Belgium

Mitch and I are currently securing internships in BELGIUM

for this fall semester! If you want a fun trip for the fall, please come visit!

I'll keep you posted with more information as it comes!!

Tribute To April

t Today as I sat in class, I had a hard time focusing, and I mean a really hard time. Thank goodness April is only 3 days away! School will be done soon and the blossoms will be in full bloom. And the best thing about April is that I get to start it the best way every year:

Easter and conference with my family

April, I am so glad to see you!

Happy Easter everyone!

Ramekins....

I love Creme Brulee. Did you know that? I love it so, I even registered for a creme brulee set for my wedding. Unfortunately, those small little ramekins aren't big enough for what I had in mind. So I went and bought 8 BIGGER ramekins. And then I made creme brulee for Mitch and I...it was delightful. But you know what else is great about these ramekins? I can make Chocolate Souffle in them too! This melting chocolate just warms you right up with the proper amount of whip cream! if you are ever in the mood for a delightful treat, come by and I'll make you souffle or brulee!

six months . . .

Mitch and I have officially been married for half of a year now! One of my professors said that my first six-month anniversary is probably going to be more exciting than my ten year anniversary. I don't think that is true though, because everyday, even when I think it isn't possible to love Mitch more, I love him more each day. Think of how strong that will be in 10 years? In 60 years?

Mitch's Grandpa Garth passed away today as well. So on my six-month anniversary I am left to ponder the loneliness of an eighty-something year old woman, and can't help but thank my Heavenly Father for letting me have the opportunity to be with my best friend forever. Grandma Ardith won't be alone for very long, and in the mean time she has a loving family to comfort her. And I get to remember how grateful I am to have such a loving husband. I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Happy six-month anniversary Mitch! I love you

Babies........

Nieces and Nephews are so fun. They are the the CUTEST, most cuddly, most kissable, things on the planet (that is, besides my husband and my future children)

But I think one of the reasons why nieces and nephews are the cutest and most fun to play with, is because we get to see glimpses of our siblings as little children. For example:

Meet Jason--don't you just want to eat him up with his cute fuzzy red hair? One of my favorite things about him is that he makes ALL the same faces that Kate and Kyle do.

I love all my nieces and nephews, and were I at home writing this post, I would post pictures of all of them!

And one of the great things about getting married is that you get MORE nieces and nephews! So now I'm just WAITING for Keera to have her baby any day!! Baby, hurry up and please come see us soon! Everyone is so happy when you are around!
