Relay for Life 2010

This year's Relay for Life was so much more organized! Valeena did a wonderful job! Here is me and Valeena :)
For those of you who do not know the Relay for Life is for the American Cancer Society raising money for cancer research. As a second year team we ended up in 5th place (which is AMAZING!) raising $1,627.00. Our theme this year was "Be a Hero."
So to tie in the theme I made, with the help of my wonderful niece Sonnett who drew them and bro-in-law Kevin who helped come up with the words, onomatopoeia
signs (like the old Batman ones) to decorate our campsite!
We sold walking tacos which were a huge success! I also made capes for each team member...they were really helpful because we were able to distinguish who our team members were!
Here are some other fun photos of that night!

Wonderful Weekend

I realized this last weekend that I just love hanging out with Kyle. It doesn't have to be something huge, but I am just happy being with him. I guess that is what happiness is all about.

Thursday we did our traditional Easter egg hunt...I hide them...Kyle finds them. It was fun this year was the first Easter in our home, so I got to find new places to hid them! The winner for best hiding spot was in the ice dispenser on the fridge...from my level you could see it, but from Kyle's height he could not! So funny. Later that night we just watched a movie.

Friday morning we slept in and then got up and started driving up north to got to the SUU vs UVU baseball games. The games were good...it was super cold though. I stayed at the hotel for the second one to try and get through my 166 pages of reading for my lit class. It was nice just to climb in bed and be warm! After Kyle got done we went out to Korean food...good stuff. I miss it. Afterwards we had to stop at Walmart because I forgot face wash...and we found Mille Borne. (Anyone remember that game? Totally AWESOME!) Unfortunately this was not the French version, but still cool.

Saturday was conference. Oh, how I love conference. What a wonderful blessing that it is to live in this day and age...to have the opportunity to hear the words of the prophet. There is something about being able to listen. We had more baseball, but I stayed in the car to listen to conference. We made it up to SLC before Priesthood so Kyle was able to go with his brother Kevin. I headed over to my sister's to play! Easter Sunday was relatively quiet. More conference, the drive home, dinner and Amazing Race. Still all and all a great day. We were happy to be home.

Not me Tuesday

I did not get an "atta girl" from a random stranger today.

I did not have someone in church on Sunday come up to me and tell me congratulations...on being pregnant. Yeah, I'm not pregnant. If I were to really be pregnant every time someone thought I was I would have 5 kids by now. It was hilarious though. The only bad thing about these type of situations is that I wonder if I LOOK pregnant. Kyle told me I didn't, thank you love for saying no even if I do.

I do not have 31 days until Paris. I am so ready to be there but not leave Kyle. This also means that I do not have 4 weeks of this semester left and I am so ready for it to be over!

I did not get contacts again this week and I am not having to get used to them all over again. The first time that I looked in the mirror I thought I looked funny.

I am not ready to read for the soul purpose of recreation again. I miss my books. Let me clarify this...I miss books in ENGLISH. French class I love you. I do! BUT I am sick of reading in French. Is that bad? Probably.

Not me Tuesday

I do not love chocolate chip pumpkin bread.

I did not play with bubbles at the office today. And I did not thoroughly enjoy myself. I think that the office and random strangers enjoyed them too :)

I did not finally find shoes for FRANCE! They are Merrells and super cute. (Amy would be so proud of me!) Also I did not pay more than I have ever paid for shoes in my life...but I have a feeling that I will be thankful that I did once I get there.

I did not buy the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes for the plane. I have read it before but I don't remember all of the solutions. I figure 500 pages should be enough for a 16 hour flight.

I am not having a hard time getting motivated with my work project. Boo.

I am not loving the fact that I have no homework DUE this week due to spring break...I forget what stress free, no homework life feels like.

I do not love date nights! There is just something about them that make me happy...probably it is mostly that I am with Kyle. We went out last night to Alice in Wonderland and out to dinner. Nothing fancy, but it was wonderful :)

The countdown is not officially 45 days. This is coming up fast!

I did not try a new recipe this weekend...cream puffs! They turned out really yummy and were really easy. I now want to host something at my house so I can make them again. And I might try the cream filling in crepes! :)

And the Answer is...

49!! 49 days until France.
