Lately nothing huge has been going on. Michael has been busy with finals and I am so excited for him to get done because his next semester is going to be much less stressful!! I am still working, building my clientele. My mom came up to visit a couple weeks ago to go to the Britney Spears concert with me and we had a lot of fun spending time together. I wish we lived a lot closer so we could do more stuff. Easter was fun. We were invited to a small potluck at Michael's cousins house. They invited another couple in the ward and it was nice to eat an Easter dinner because we didn't have any plans. Easter Monday Michael did an Easter egg hunt for me to make it all a little more festive. It was fun to have him do that for me. We really missed being able to paint eggs with my siblings because that is what we have done all the other Easter we have been together. This weekend my Dad is coming up with my stepmom. They are coming up for some sort of meeting for my stepmom and they are staying in a hotel. Friday night we hope to go out for dinner and Sunday they will come to church with us and hang out at our place later on. I haven't seen my Dad since Christmas so I am really looking forward to seeing him!! I finished reading a 6 volume church fiction series called The Great and Terrible by Chris Stewart and I am so sad I am done now. I love to read so much and I love books that are included in a series because then they just keep going. I would definately recommend these books. I have also read The Work and the Glory books and I love them also as well as Children of the Promise and Hearts of the Children(the 2nd generation of children of the promise families). Anyways... I just really love to read so any good recommendations?? I love church fiction...

My cousin, Kristy, who has her own business doing arts and crafts and selling them is doing a giveaway right now for a super adorable blanket so check out her website www.thepinkknot.blogspot.com .

Another Move

When Michael got into the Radiation Therapy Program, he was supposed to go to Calgary after a year for the last year and a half to do his clinical portion of his schooling. We really ended up liking Edmonton, so we asked if there was anyway we would be able to stay. After a couple months, they got back to us and told us we are still suppose to go to Calgary. We will be there by mid August and for a year and a half. It will be nice to be closer to family but we have made some good friends here, we are in an amazing ward, and our location is perfect for my work and his school... (2 blocks from his school, 15 min walk for me to work). I just really don't want to move again! And especially to Calgary, haha. I've never lived there but I hope we get into a good ward. I know nothing of the salons in Calgary... Hopefully we can find a bigger place to live for a cheaper price, haha!!

So a girl I work with and me wanted to start going to Aquafit because I went with my mom when I lived in Lethbridge and I really liked it. So the girl I work with brought some friends and I brought my friend Nicole and now we have been going every week... so far so good. I have been able to convince a bunch of other friends to come as well, and hopefully they show up. It's once a week for an hour and the deep water and shallow is at the same time so we can choose which one we want to go to. Michael goes to play basketball every Thurs so it's nice to be able to go out with just girls and visit and get a work out. Also, Michael and I have been going to the gym every Monday... It's been going well. I have never been the work out type but its been nice to be active a couple times a week and I want to try to do it more!!

My Next Post

Lately we haven't been up to a lot but some people keep saying I haven't posted anything new. I have been borrowing the Gilmore Girls seasons from a friend and I have been pretty hooked. I never used to like them but it kind of grows on you. Michael and I are ward missionaries and we are starting to do Share My Gospel with ward members where we teach members about how to be better missionaries and we commit them to invite someone to meet with the missionaries. We are pretty excited to start working with some people and to be in contact with investigators. Michael has been playing basketball with the ward lately and he was in a tournament last Saturday! He hadn't played in a while so he was sore afterwards but his team won! For Christmas we got a bread maker so I have been making some loaves of bread, which my mom wanted me to post pictures of! This week we are heading to Lethbridge to welcome Michael's brother home so we are looking forward to seeing family and getting away from school and work. Also, his sister Jody is heading to New Zealand for about 2 months so we will say bye to her. So here are some pictures mostly for my mom to see, haha. 

Starting a Blog!

Well after reading Mindy and Kristy's blogs for a while, I have decided to start my own. When I got my computer, Michael said the only way I could have it is if I kept a journal on my computer and he says a blog will do. We take a lot of pictures and so I will probably post pictures often and I will try to keep everyone updated. I think it's also just for family to see what we're doing. Hopefully I can get some people to read my blog every once in a while. Recently, we've just been getting back into a routine. Michael is starting a new semester and I am back to work. Not much else is going on with use right now. Michael's younger brother Devin gets home from his mission in Hawaii at the end of this month so we are looking forward to heading down to Lethbridge to welcome him home. I know Michael is definitely looking forward to it. We celebrated Michael's 28th birthday today. Well we don't really have people to celebrate it with so we just ate some ice cream (he didn't want a cake) and we went to Galaxyland at West Ed Mall on Friday kind of to celebrate. I can't believe I have been with him for 3 of his birthdays already and in only 2 more he will be 30!! I have such an old man husband!! haha This is a picture of Michael and I at West Ed on the Balloon Ferris Wheel.
