Easter Weekend

We went to Brianhead for Easter weekend!

With these fun people!

And it was gorgeous!

And I got to hang out with this cool guy!

And there was a ton of snow! Happy Easter!

We Found A New Apartment!

And it's beautiful, and it's new(er), and it doesn't have a popcorn ceiling that falls on us if we hit it at all, and Landon won't hit his head on the ceiling because it's TALL, and it's not in a basement, and there's a DISHWASHER and a GARBAGE DISPOSAL, and there won't be a creepy old man that sits outside of it for no apparent reason, and no one can call it a "dive" or an "asbestos trap," and there won't randomly be standing water in the bathroom-or the laundry room, and my mom won't say, "It's a good thing they're in love" when describing it, and there are doors on the closets, and it looks like a HOME and I'M SOO EXCITED! I don't want to study! I want to PACK! We've lived here for a year and a half! Let's get a move-on! :)

Help Wanted

We are officially looking for a new apartment to rent! If you know of anything, let us know!

Birthdays are My Favorite

-Brick Oven birthday party with some of Landon's extended family! (This is about 1/4 of the crew. Sorry we couldn't get everyone in the pic but thanks for coming!)-

I'm 22. I'm pumped. It's a great age. We celebrated in a big way.
-Spent an entire Saturday redeeming coupons with Andrea which gave us free Orange Julius smoothies, free Red Robin burgers, and free Cold Stone ice cream. Delicious.
-Landon made me breakfast and gave me fabulous gifts. A man with taste and a desire to spoil his wife. (Two very important things in a marriage companion). We went to Tucanos for dinner and got a Cold Stone cake for dessert because normal cake is straight up NASTY. Hung out with Janelle and laughed all evening. Fabulous.
-Phone calls, cards, gifts, messages, meals, desserts, very much appreciated.
-I have wonderful people in my life. Thanks for making my birthday so great!

The Life and Times

1. We went to the Jazz Game, and we won! It was great fun! It was my first one! I like to run....and play in the sun...Haha
2. Landon got a half-tuition scholarship for next year because of his work in the Entrepreneur club. I'm so proud of him!
3. This semester, my capstone class has been dedicated to a national advertising campaign competition, and our client has been State Farm. Well, on Friday, my team won our school competition which means we get to go to regionals! I'm excited, our team worked hard, and I'm proud of the result, but regionals are the same day as graduation. So, I graciously offered to NOT to go. :) My hope is this I can be done with the project which will give me more hours in the week to work and do my other classes, oh yeah, and graduate. It should work out very well!
4. Andrea and I spent a super fun day yesterday running around town redeeming our coupons for free stuff for our birthday. We got free Cold Stone ice cream and a free smoothie. Her Relief Society activity fed us Cafe Rio for lunch, so we were too full to redeem our Red Robin burger coupon, but we will just have to extend that to another day lol, life is hard.
5. We got a beautiful 100-year-old antique kitchen table and 4 chairs for 50 bucks! I don't think the sellers knew what they were getting rid of! It's sweet!
6. I love my life.

Spontaneous, Party of 3!

Last Saturday morning, Landon, my sister Janelle, and I went to my cousin's baptism in Kaysville. While enjoying lunch afterward, my aunt mentioned that we were only 4 hours away from Boise. I didn't realize we were already an hour and a half on our way! It was my dad's birthday, so we had the perfect plan: GO TO BOISE! There was little time for deliberation. We didn't have any luggage, but we didn't care! We drove!

We let my sister who lives at home in on the secret so that she could make sure the parents were home at 5. She called us panicked at 4 saying that they were going to the temple. In the middle of our panic, our car started puttering. We pulled over to the side of the road as the car died. Landon pulled out our emergency jumper cables but to no avail. Spontaneity decided to bite us in the be-hind. Melanie gave us the number to the temple, and we called. By some miracle, my parents were just going past the recommend desk as we were calling. We told my dad we were 45 minutes away, and he left to save the day.

The tow truck man was very kind, and Landon fell in love with yet another small town, Mountain Home. My dad met us at the repair shop and everything was right again. Because the repair shop was closed over the weekend, our quick trip became a bit of an extended stay, and considering we had packed absolutely no luggage, that was rather amusing. We had so much fun though! We successfully surprised my dad on his birthday and got to relax with the fam for several days. We got to meet with Elder Nattress of the Seventy who was doing some training with my dad on Sunday. We had tests and homework the next week, but since we didn't bring any homework, we've just been able to relax and have fun together. SO GREAT! Turns out it was just the fuel filter, so the repair was pretty inexpensive, which is fabulous. On the way back, our windshield wipers decided to stop working, so driving through the snow and rain storm was slightly terrifying, but it was SO WORTH IT! It was a great weekend!!! SPONTANEITY ROCKS!!
