Today the family that I home teach spoke in sacrament meeting, so they asked Stephanie and I to watch their two children, Andrew (3 -4) and Emily (1-2). They actually weren't too bad, although Emily required a pretty consistent stream of Froot Loops to keep quiet.
Halfway through sacrament meeting, Emily saw momma and dada on the stand, and she started pointing at them and saying their names. It was really cute.

We're really lucky to have the chance to visit my mom and dad today. My grandma is visiting from Arizona, so this should be a very special Mother's Day.

We're leaving for Georgia on Thursday and we can't wait!

Key Lime Pie

We are leaving for Georgia in a week and a half, so Stephanie is working hard to finish her cooking class before we head out. Today's assignment...key lime pie. Yesterday as we were shopping I learned that key limes are smaller than normal limes and have a slightly different flavor, made popular by the pie we are making today! This is actually practice for a demonstration assignment--we are having Grandma James and Jenny over tomorrow night and for our FHE Stephanie will be showing off her skills! We're excited.

This morning we had the chance to go to Lehi to witness the blessing of one of Stephanie's cousins. Baby Railey is way cute, and we were glad that we were able to be there. We are enjoyed mingling with a lot of family afterwards.

We love you all and hope you have a great week!

Semester's over!

Well, we successfully finished another semester. We are soooo happy to be done for the summer. We thought we might get a little of a break, but as it turns out, the day exams were over, we started working full time. I am also taking an independent study cooking class and I'm trying to get it done before we leave for Georgia...that has been an adventure! Daniel has been super helpful at making sure I have time to do school after we get home from work (I think he just wants some gourmet food).

We were able to spend time last night celebrating the end of the semester with the Standage family. It was fun to just get away for a little bit and enjoy them. We especially enjoyed our little nieces and nephew. They are all growing up so fast! We wish that we could spend more time with them--watching them grow up, seeing the cute little things they do, and feeling their sweet spirits. We look forward to the day when we can enjoy kids of our own.

We are looking forward to our trip to Georgia. Only two and a half weeks and we will be out of here!!! Woohoo!! We still have not got anyone to sublease our apartment from us, but we have someone who is interested. I guess that has been the story of our life since we started advertising in March. We could really use some extra prayers! We love you all!

Walking on Air!

Despite Spring's apparent lack of motivation, we can't wait for it to arrive here in Utah. We went to the mall tonight and found a good deal on some Airwalk sandals. We'll sure be ready when Spring comes!!!

The End Draws Near

We are nearly at the end of our semester. We're excited for school to be done, and we're even more excited to go to Georgia for the summer.

Anyway, here are some recent photos.

We enjoyed coloring some Easter eggs. Note the nifty plastic cups that came with the kit.


Stephanie insisted that I put this picture up.

Fun in the snow.


We hope you are all doing well, and hope to hear from you soon!
