This Is AMAZING!

Laugh of the Day!

My uncle sent me this HILARIOUS email and as a current student {struggling in math} it cracked me up!

St. Patrick's Day

We decided at the last minute to throw together a little St. Patrick's Day dinner with Phil's sister Malissa and her {very} serious boyfriend! I swear they are the cutest couple!

We kept it very simple with just green accented things. So green sherbet drinks w/ 7up...

...with bbq chicken, pull apart bread, potatoes, and green beans. 

Then my aunt and I were talking and she gave me a rad idea to make a green edible fruit arrangement. So I got to work melting white chocolate to dip the fruit in lime green and dark green. I used this cute basket...

 

...and had the arrangement all pretty and sitting on the table. I used green grapes, kiwi, and strawberries. Only minutes before they arrived, the table was bumped and it came crashing down! I cried {only because I didn't take a picture first}! So the dang fruit {which I hate anyways} was grudgingly placed in this LAME dish and I drizzled the few remaining drops of chocolate over the top. Oh well! My husband said it still tasted great and in the end that's all that mattered!

We played a few games, including wii Mario Kart which was hilarious, and ended the evening with a yummy Andes mint dessert Malissa made!  So fun!

sPrInG bReAk!!!

We did a whole lot of nada for spring break - which was actually really nice! I quickly jotted down the random things we did each day.

Friday:  We both got done with school by noon and let me tell you we were stressed right up until the end! Phil had 2 huge tests two days in a row and I had a five page paper and huge design theory assignment. Needless to say we were stoked to have a week off! I had to do a few things for the shower I was throwing Saturday, so that took up most of my afternoon. We did go over to our friends house to play games for a short little while. My silly hubby locked us out of our house which led us to a nice visit with our neighbors next door. We then ended the night in jammies watching tv, eating treats, and figuring out our summer semester schedules.

Saturday:  I got up earlier than I'd like to on a Saturday morning, but happily did so because my friend and I were throwing the sweetest girl a baby shower! It was a complete success and we planned everything down to the food perfectly! The sun was out and the snow had melted, so Phil and I took advantage and got all the Valentine decor boxed up and under the house and pulled out our St Patrick's Day stuff. Then we went grocery shopping with some friends and decided to do a bbq at the last minute (On a side note, while at Walmart there was this lost 18 month old boy. He was running up and down the isles screaming and so I grabbed him because no one would. He stopped crying and I took him to the front - he was lost for a good 15 minutes - and the mom finally found him and she was LAUGHING! I was so mad!). Anyways, our bbq was fun and us girls chatted the whole time while the boys played this new airplane game on the wii - nerds! I helped my friend Nikki make her Twilight Pajama Party poster (it's for our movie night for Relief Society) and handouts, then when they all went home I threw together my poster for the Relief Society birthday and handouts for that. I crawled into bed at 2:30 am...not realizing it was technically 3:30 am!

Sunday:  We grudgingly woke up at 7:30 am (I hate daylight savings and losing an hour) to go to church. We thoroughly enjoyed our meetings although we were small in numbers due to spring break. We had a few couples over for dinner and combined what we all had on hand. We had a small pork roast and someone else had an elk roast, so we added rolls, potatoes, and corn to the menu plus picnic cake for dessert. The guys played wii while the girls talked and then we played the bate and switch and got the guys to play 'hand and foot'. SO fun! When those friends left (they both had very tired babies), we were invited (at 11:00) to another couples house to play 'scum'. Finally calling it a night in the wee hours of the morning!

Monday:  We woke up to a beautiful white out and 2 feet of snow (after sleeping in longer than I'd like to admit)! I spent some of the day purging our office and re-organizing. We had an awesome family night with some friends after having them come over for some yummy soup and cornbread!

Tuesday:  We slept in again and have resigned ourselves to do so the rest of the week! I spent a good part of the day in the office continuing the projects started the day before. Phil had a meeting later in the afternoon and then he and a friend went out to sushi (YUCK). I got together with a few friends to make cards/scrapbook, but lets face it, we all just ended up talking! I loved it! Phil and I ended up watching Australia, which was good but I swore the movie was going to end like 5 times. We didn't crawl into bed until after 2:00 am (refer to the first sentence for the day)!

Wednesday:  The sun was out which meant a bike ride was a must! I started the day with laundry and ended up going shopping with a friend. Phil got to babysit her baby while we ran around town. Her and I finished my dvd project (another post) and I am thrilled to have that crossed off my list! Her and her husband ended up coming over for dinner and playing cards for a few hours! So fun! After they left we watched a movie and then called it a night.

Thursday:  I am glad to say that we only slept in until 9:30 (a vast improvement from the rest of the week)! I was adamant that I finish the office...but didn't quite do so. I cleaned and did a few projects as I went (hey I couldn't help myself when I found old to-do's). At least there is now an end in sight! I got side tracked easily and ended up making chocolate chip cookies Phillip went on another bike ride with a friend in the afternoon. He then spent the remainder of the day working on a paper. He spent the evening helping a friend with his car, and another friend with an electrical problem. We ended the night catching up on a few tivo'd shows.

Friday:  We slept in a gain, but I got invited with the neighbor girls to lunch! Phil went on a nice bike ride while I was gone. We had a lazy afternoon although I tried to work on the office and Phil did his research paper. We ended the night at our friends playing Settlers of Catan (because they got a new expansion pack so we could have 6 players).

Saturday:  We started the morning with homemade biscuits and gravy! I hitched a ride and went grocery shopping with some friends, then spent the afternoon at Sam's Club with another friend. I spent way too much money, but we were so in need of a big stock up! Phil helped a friend uninstall and reinstall a water heater. Then we went over to our neighbors for some good dutch oven cooking and a movie! I did sneak in a little reading just before bed and Phil graciously gave me a 3 hour pedicure!

Sunday:  I still had a lingering headache from the night before which increasingly got worse so we didn't go to church. After trying to sleep in and use all my tips and tricks to make it go away, Phil ended up going to the store to get me some Dr. Pepper. Unfortunately my headache never went away and I missed out on a birthday party, and games with friends. I laid on the couch all night, and after my stomach started bothering me I ended up just going to bed.

Twilight!!!

In case anyone is wondering...Twilight comes out in 18 days {yes, I will be going at midnight}!!! I can't wait! I figured I'd share a little secret though!
