One More Day!

I typically dread Sunday night because this is when reality sets in that I have another long work week ahead of me! However, this Sunday I am counting down the hours until tomorrow night when this boy gets home...

Alan has been out in Washington for the last couple days for his brother's graduation from Puget sound. Unfortunately, I had to work and couldn't go. I'm glad Alan was able to spend some time with his family and see where Mikey went to school but I will sure be glad when he gets home! My mom was nice and came to Pocatello this weekend. It was fun to spend some time together just the two of us. Lucky for me the Miss USA Pageant is on tonight to keep me occupied! Can't wait to see you tomorrow babe!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I couldn't let this day go by without wishing my mom a Happy Mother's Day! My mom is the most selfless person I know. She is always looking for opportunities to serve others and puts others' needs before her own. I am so grateful for the example she is to me. I love you mom and am so grateful for you in my life!

I am also thankful for my mother-in-law, who raised an incredible son!

We love our moms! I can't wait to be a mom someday!

One Down, Three to Go!

Alan took his last final today which means he has officially finished his first year of pharmacy school!!! I see a small flicker of light at the end of the tunnel! I am so proud of him for all his hard work and happy to be able to spend some time together over the summer. It gets a little lonely around here when he is at the library or has his face in a book! And I'm thinking Poky might be a happening place in the summer because there will be some fun things to do outside...that is if we ever get a day without 100 mph winds. Here are some pics of our first year in Pharmacy School...

Study, Study, Study

This weekend Alan did a whole lot of studying, which means I did a whole lot of nothing! I don't know who is more excited for finals to be over...him or me. Alan was able to take a much needed break on Friday night.

Dinner at Five Guys

After dinner we watched the Jazz game and made virgin margaritas...thanks to Spencer. He is always a great host! I can't wait for this week to be over to have my husband back! And in other exciting news...I'm going to be an aunt again in 15 days!!!

Finally...

After raiding every thrift store in Pocatello on a weekly basis...we FINALLY found a t.v. stand! I think every store now knows us by name...embarrassing. So if you are ever in Pocatello and need some advice on a thrift/antique store, we can definitely give you some!

Here is the new project we are going to undertake. I already have some ideas in mind but I'm hoping it will turn out as I envision it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a day without wind here in Pocatello so I can start painting.

Lazy Sunday

One of the biggest adjustments since moving to Pocatello is not being with our families on Sundays. Sometimes it makes for a long day...not that we don't love just being with each other! I miss my mom's Sunday dinners, spending time with our families, and playing with my nephew. Today I made a roast, which I had one bite of. I have decided the meat at Winco is a little sketchy and today was my last straw. Lucky for us the weather has been nice and we were able to go on a walk. Our night consisted of chocolate chip cookies and Rummikub.

Notice how the cookies are flat and burnt. I seriously cannot figure out my oven. It seriously cooks things in half the time a recipe says which makes for some unsuccessful meals. And yes, we play Rummikub by ourselves. I think we play it almost every Sunday and most always has a bet involved. Alan won tonight, earning him a back tickle. Guess I better rest my hands!

Easter Eggs

Mickenzie planned a fabulous girls' night of dying easter eggs. She had practically anything you could think of to decorate an easter egg. To start the night off, Mickenzie showed us how to blow out an egg. If you haven't ever done it, it seriously is disgusting, yet hilarious!

Step 1...Drill holes in the egg, producing a terrible smell

Step 2...Break up the egg yoke

Step 3...Blow as hard as you can

We decided to have a contest to see who could blow out an egg the fastest. How sick are we?

And here are the results...

The finished eggs

Theres nothing like a night with your girlfriends!
