Another week...

Well, the week went by quickly. I am wondering where exactly it went now and what I did. Sometimes the week goes by and I am not sure by the end what happened. I guess that means it must have been either very uneventful or very busy.

Michael and I both got haircuts recently. I was ready for a change and Michael was looking like Shaggy on Scooby Doo. I am the barber for him, though, and I am still learning. Sometimes I wonder why he even humors me. I do a decent job, though, and at least I don't charge anything but hugs and kisses. I actually had my haircut in the pictures from Easter in our last blog.

Michael tested for his yellow belt in Jujitsu yesterday. It was an hour and half test. I was glad it was on Saturday so I got to go and watch. By the end I think that he and all of the others testing were about the pass out. It was a hard test. He passed with flying colors and I was proud of him. He has really enjoyed that class. I think he has found a hobby too that he would like to continue.

Michael has only 2 days of class left and then finals. I can scarcely believe that another semester is gone and it is our last at BYU. Michael will graduate in less than 2 weeks. We have both loved it here and it will be hard to go. It will be hard to leave behind so much good time spent.

The highlight of my week was going to Enrichment. I am glad that Relief Society gives me a chance to interact with other sisters. It is especially nice to be able to go and not worry about attendance or anything. I like that immensely. I still don't have another calling, so I may not get one before we leave.

Well, that's about all. I hope that everyone is doing well. I hope that all of you with birthdays in April are having a great month!

Easter

Michael and I spent Easter in Pocatello with Michael's family. We colored eggs and had egg races. Michael's mom and her brothers and sisters used to always have egg races when they were kids. So, this year, Michael and his brother Matt dug out a trail behind their house in the gorge. We had a fun time racing eggs. Michael had an indestructible one know as Bubba. Both of mine were slow and I think I only won maybe one race. Maybe I should have named mine too. We also got to help hide eggs for the little kids to find. That was fun except that being a big kid (or adult I guess) means you don't get any candy. =(

I finished up my soccer league last week. Michael said I went out with a bang. I was the only girl there and I just happened to get beamed in the head with a ball just before the end of the game. Well, in coed, in order to keep playing you have to have a girl on the field. So, even though my head was throbbing, I had to keep playing (well standing). I didn't do much playing after that. If I stopped playing, though, we would have had to forfeit. We did not win, but I did survive the game. I didn't even get a black eye. Maybe I should avoid playing soccer for awhile.

Even though we know we are moving to Connecticut, dealing with all of the details of the move is not enjoyable. I have to find a job and we need to find a place to live. Unfortunately, all of it will likely have to be done before we move there. We are hoping to be able to go out again (at least one of us) to look at apartments and sign a contract.

I am finally putting pictures up from Connecticut. The one of the car is our rental all iced over after only one night. There are also pictures of egg races. Enjoy!
