Women's Conference 2010 and then some...

This weekend was AWESOME!!! I got to start my week off by going to Women's Conference with my cute mom in-law Ellen. I remember going to women's conference a long time ago with my mom and my sisters and doing a service project. I thought it was a fun experience, but this time I got more out of it. I'm sure it has everything to do with the fact that I'm older now. I was able to go to so many classes. It was such an awesome experience. I needed an uplifting weekend. The talks I swear were meant just for me. :) It was great just seeing ladies everywhere and no men! It's pretty neat looking around knowing that all the women who were there were all there for the same reason-to be uplifted. I loved everything about the experience. We listened to talks, sang, and also did a service project. I can't wait to go again next year. I wish they did women's conference every month!
My mom was there too and I got to be with her for the opening and closing ceremony too, it was fun having both of them with me!

Saturday, Steve and I got to go to my friend Krystal's couples baby shower. Which I thought was completely awesome that it was couples. I never heard of a couples baby shower before, and I think it was really fun! It was fun seeing her and her cute prego belly! :) Which I'm totally jealous of by the way. But it was so fun to see some friends from high school that I seriously haven't seen since high school. It was neat seeing what everyone was up to and what life is in store for everyone.

After the shower we headed to Logan to meet up with Jason and Shannon. We wanted to see them before they moved to Canada for the summer. We had such a fun time with them! We love these two and we will miss them for sure! Thank goodness it's only for the summer. ;)
Some things we did while we were there...
We ate way too much food, played lots of UNO, Shannon gave us a tour- ha ha, Drove around Logan, watched the Jazz game, Hastings, Wii, lots of talking, sleeping in.

Jason & Shannon

What a fun and uplifting weekend! Too bad the weekends always go so much more quicker than the weekdays!

Oh and something completely RANDOM the past 2 weekends I've been told I look like I'm between the ages of 12-17! :( I know it's supposed to be a compliment to look young, but c'mon ppl! Okay, What do I need to change? my hair? my clothes? my makeup? I can't change my baby face.

I LoVe SpRiNg!

Well, everything but allergies! The weather was completly perfect yesterday so...


Yesterday Steve and I were able to go for a nice bike ride in our neighborhood. I haven't been on a bike for FOREVER! We don't even own a bike, but our nice landlords let us borrow theirs. Can I just say I LOVE bike riding! How much fun!!



I haven't been on a bike for years. I remember as a little girl loving to ride my bike back and forth in the neighborhoods. Why did I ever stop riding a bike?? Seriously.

I wish that the weather would last!! I'm pretty bummed that tomorrow it's going to start raining and getting cold again. :(

I love spring though! I love that the weather (is supposed) to get warmer, flowers start blooming and I can go outside more!!

Kind of a random post. But, I'm just sitting at work and I need something to help pass time!

Jotting down my thoughts..

Just want to write.

Today's been a long day! I'm sitting here at work, and still have 2 more hours to go and then YW right after. Is it bad to say I just feel like going home, getting in my pj's and turning on a good movie? When it rains, it sure makes me feel lazy!
I don't mind the rain, it's sure a lot better than SNOW! Rain is kind of peaceful when it hits the window.

Steve's been busy like MAD this week. I barely even get to see my husband. It's like he's in Canada again. boo. I'm home, so is he, but he gets in a "zone" (which is great) that he only "hears" and See's his books. He stays up so late studying, I go to bed without him. He's had 4 finals this week and has had to do all 4 finals within 3 days. I'm pretty proud of him though! He's such a hard worker, and really cares about his grades. When finals week comes I just do my own thing. I guess it's a good practice for me when he gets in to pharmacy school. I've heard I never will see him then. That's depressing. But when he's done with school we'll have a good reason to celebrate!-Especially Steve! :)


I've been making lots of crafts lately. I really love making things. I feel so accomplished when I look at my finished products. I've decided it's almost an obsession for me. My craft closet is getting out of hand! I really can't wait for when Steve and I have at least one more bedroom, so then I can maybe have a craft room? That would be heaven. But, for now our closet is perfect.



I still don't have exciting news to share on the being prego idea. Which it is of course, still a huge bummer for me. I've learned to be patient. But, I still have my days where it can be hard. I swear it has everything to do with Steve drinking Mountain Dew. ha ha. Okay, maybe not, but have you heard what that pop does to a guy?



OH! and I seriously LOVE listening to books on tape! I can get things done, drive etc while listening to my book! It's a win-win situation! Right now I'm listening to the Barrington Family Saga by Anita Stansfield. So addicting! And all last week STEVE listened to it with me. It was great! We both talked about what could happen, what we liked about it. I think that's actually my favorite part about listening to the book, is that Steve and I can listen to it together.


Woohoo! I'm done with work! 3 day's down, 1 more to go! lat-er!

Glee!


I just watched
GLEE for the first time. I'm completely obsessed with the music and dancing! I'm still trying to decide if I like the actual show though.

My First.

I made my first diaper cake! I made it for my best friend Erin. I can't believe she's going to be having her first baby so soon!! Erin and I have known each other since I was 4! We both lived in the same neighborhood, and then our families both moved to about the same area too. So we have been really lucky to be able to be friends for so many years!
Erin now lives in Washington, Utah so we don't get to see each other-EVER! But, when we do it's like we never were apart, and were able to catch up where we left off.
I was so happy that I was able to see her this weekend! I know she's going to be an AMAZING mom! :) Can't wait to see you again and meet you're new lil' man!

Me and Erin-she looks so stink'n cute prego!!
