Friday Favorite

1. Getting 8 Dave Matthews Tickets for $10. I am so excited for this concert this summer.

2. Getting a $2 raise at work

3. Great deals on things that I wanted for the apartment. I was able to buy big pillows and a slipcover for a really good deal at Kohls.

4. A clean apartment. Maybe not so much the cleaning part, but its great to have it be so clean.

5. Getting through another long week of school and work.

6. Making new friends in the ward and feeling to be a part of the ward.

7. Good food! And not getting sick from eating cheesecake!

8.A beautiful day today. It was warm and sunny and gorgeous. I loved being able to open the windows in the apartment for the first time since we moved in and work on getting rid of the smell. It was great to have fresh air this afternoon.

Valentines Day Weekend

This valentine's day weekend was great. It was really nice to have a long weekend so that we could just relax. I didn't want to do anything crazy because we have been so busy with school and work and such. So friday night we watched the Olympic opening ceremonies and had Little Ceasar's pizza and breadsticks because I was too lazy to make anything for dinner and it sounded really good. Saturday, Karl went to take a test and I did some shopping. When I got home, I was really tired so I took a nap and woke up to Karl surprising me with some beautiful gerber daisies! YAY! We pretty much just relaxed all day, doing a little homework and then watching the Olympics. That night we had Italian Pork Chops (the best recipe ever from the best roommate ever, Kelsey) and had sparkling apple cider. YUM! We also made heart shaped sugar cookies ( though I realized that I didnt have a lot of the things we needed so we went on a bed bath and beyond shopping spree). YAY for giftcards! Monday night we had FHE with one of my old roommates and he husband and it was really fun. We ate fajitas and played phase 10, which I won. I got really excited about that because I never win that game.

On tuesday we were forced back into reality. We went off to work and I had to take a midterm for one of my classes. We are both really grateful for the opportunity to be going to school and to be working, but sometimes I want to just have a break. I feel so busy all the time and never really know how we are going to get everything done. Somehow it always does get done, and we are sure grateful for that.

My next task is to get some pictures taken of the apartment and post them. Hopefully I can get that done soon, sorry mom!
