Ward Activity

Last night we had a terrific ward activity. Our apartment complex is basically a square with a courtyard in it. Anyway, they hung and stretched a sheet across the stairwell to make a projector screen. When it got dark we put in Bedtime Stories, popped some popcorn and sat on blankets to enjoy the show. Bryan and I had a great time spending time with some of our friends in the ward and enjoyed the movie.

This week has been pretty crazy for school, and there is still a lot to do! Thankfully the term is almost over. Yay! For one of my classes, I had to create a blog about a health topic. If you feel like it, you can head on over here, check it out and comment on it.

One Year

It's hard to believe it has already been a year since Bryan and I got married. Time has flown! To celebrate, we went to see Angels and Demons in the new-ish theater and went out to dinner at PF Changs (an amazing place, if a little expensive). We wanted to go somewhere, but unfortunately money, school, etc prevented that. We had a great time hanging around here anyway. (Sorry about the word in the middle of the picture!)

Life has been good, but a little stressful. A little stress is good, right? School has been picking up and there are lots of assignments and tests. We haven't found extra work yet, but are still looking. We are lucky to have the jobs that we have. If I can't take classes this summer, I think I am going to volunteer at the hospital for a few weeks.

I'm glad summer is upon us. I am also glad that our air conditioning bill is included in our rent. =D

Happy Mother's Day!

First off, I want to say happy Mother's Day to my mother and mother-in-law as well as all of the other women that have shaped my life. Cheers to motherhood.

It has been a good weekend. We went up to see Bryan's family on friday to celebrate mother's day as well as my mother-in-law's birthday. For her present we put together a photo album with Rachel and Wendy's help. I think she liked it alot. Here is one of the pictures we found:

It was taken December of last year. Bryan is taking the picture, but he, Rachel, Olya, and Jacob helped me make the fist snowman I ever remember making. We had a good time.

We also all went to go see the new Star Trek movie this weekend. I thought that it was only going to be okay, but I really liked it. Two thumbs up.

I had to give a talk in church today. It turned out alright, though my knees were knocking together nearly the whole time. I got to speak about motherhood and how all women are mothers, even if they don't have children. Since we attend a student married ward, I hope that I helped some women feel like Mother's day is special for them too.

And now it is the beginning of the week again. I think it will be a good one. We are having FHE with some friends of our in the ward, so that will be fun. Other than that, it's school and work...ugh. At least the weather will be nice!
