Update!

• Garett graduates this semester and is currently on the wait list for the University of Utah MSW program! Cross your fingers he gets in :]]
• We are getting sealed in the Oqurrih Mountain Temple April 30th! I am receiving my endowments the same day.
• Gares family is coming down for both of these occasions and we are very excited to see everyone:]]
• School and work is still going great for both of us (the Jr. High kids are currently on spring break so I have a whole lovely week to sleep in and hang out with my man :]]).

Did you like my list of updates? I thought it would be easier that way haha, we have also got to spend some time with our friends and family. Mariah finally had her baby! Karston Arvin Kofoed, and he is so dang cute! Keith and Ria are already such cute parents, we have got to hang out with the new little family twice last week, here is a picture of me and the little guy. . .

at Andrews B-day party!

On Thursday Gare and I decided to pull out the pressure cooker and whip up some beef stroganoff, which is one of Gare's all time favorites! I was supper nervous because the pressure cooker scares me to death! I have heard some crazy stories, so I stayed away from the kitchen and let Gare to the dirty work:]] It turned out amazing, we didn't have any scary explosions or anything!! We also got together with the Law's and the Hirzes on Friday, we had the famous "Chicken Broccoli Casserole" and played games :]] Its always fun to get together with those crazy kids, it is a tight squeeze in our lil' apartment though.

yum

 I enjoy everyones faces in these photos :]] Anywho, thanks for reading!

Lately

So much has been going on lately, but I haven't had much time to blog about it. This new job is keeping me busy. This new job that I love by the way, I am learning so much and the people I work with are awesome.  I love the student I am working with, she always keeps things interesting for me :]] It really is such a rewarding job I can tell that I am a big help to her.  I love it!! I get off of work at 3, but that is when Garett has to be to work so there are some days where I don't even get to see him, because by the time he gets home I am asleep. But we get by, it makes the time we do have together that much more special.  We are both doing well in school, Gare actually graduates this April! I am so proud of him!

While we are on the school subject, I am taking a children's lit. class and I get to read all of these fun kids books, I love it! The latest reads have been. . .

I loved every single one! Mostly the last two! I was a bit worried about "The Watsons go to Birmingham" because it sounds and looks boring, but this book has taught me to not judge a book by its cover! I loved loved loved it! I recommend it to anyone. These books have taken me away from my most recent read "Uglies" I am about half way through and now that I am done with these ones I am excited to get back to reading it :]]

And lastly, wasn't this a great conference weekend?! The church is TRUE, and Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God.

Put your paws up!

 

Lada Gaga was awesome! I love her I think she is an amazing artist. We all had a blast, there were so many interesting people there to watch haha! And of course Gaga rocked the house down. Her stage/set was amazing and she sounded amazing. My favorite songs were "You and I" and "Bad Romance" love love love. I also think she stands for a very important message "Love One Another" she may go a little over the top sometimes but really isn't this what everyone wants? I love her and think she is a pretty cool person :]] Here are some pics of us havin' fun at the concert. . .

This is one of the only good pics I got of her, my camera was being dumb. She rocks she had like 9 costume changes:]]

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Busy me

It has been a while! I haven't had as much time to blog and get crafty lately because of my new job and school and such. The job is going great! I absolutely love it, I am learning so much, the teachers and administration are great, and the student I am working with is so much fun.  So that's what I have been up to lately. I have slipped in a couple crafts here and there though with Carolyn we made way cute earrings (I don't have pics sorry) and tonight we made cute keychains, tutorial found HERE! I just added a cute flower to top it all off :]]

I love it :]] Fits around your wrist just right!

I also made Car learn how to sew, she didn't appreciate it very much ha.

Welp, I hope everyone had a great week!

Catchin' Up

So, a lot has happened in the past couple weeks! The most important being. . . I GOT A JOB, and I LOVE it! I am a 504/Special Education Para-Educator at American Fork Jr. High. I help a student with autism in all of their classes, I love it and have already learned so so so much! Its funny though I have only been working there for 4 days and have been mistaken for a student 3 times! Oh AND, I got to watch the "Miracle of Birth" in health class ha, I thought I would NEVER have to watch that again but, I thought wrong :]] It wasn't too bad the second time around, I guess it helps that I am now 20 and not 13 anymore haha! So it will be interesting getting to sit in in all of the 8th grade classes, I will get to relearn everything.

I have also been having some fun. . . Gare and I went bowling with these punks last weekend.

We had fun :]]

my sweet skills

And that's about it,
