Tax Season Is Over

Now that we have 2 accountants in the family, Dad and Brent, we really have to celebrate the end of tax season. It's a family tradition to go out to dinner the day after tax season to celebrate. This years we went to Mimi's because Blair lives in SLC and didn't want to drive all of the way to Ogden. The food wasn't very good, but our waitress was amazing and it was really fun hanging out with the family. I love having brothers and sisters to laugh with. Thanks Dad and Mom for dinner and thanks Dad for doing our taxes and installing our fireplace.

Getting Lazy

Since my school days are almost over, I'm starting to relax too much. Lately, I've been trying harder to get out and get stuff done, but I really like hanging out at home. Yesterday I managed to get out and pull weeds and it actually wasn't too bad, I enjoyed getting some fresh air and sun. On Wednesday it was Tesha's birthday so we went to breakfast at the usual, Jeremiah's, yum! I love scones!! Then it was off to Tai Pan, where we spent atleast 4 hours finding all sorts of cool stuff. I could shop all day at Tai Pan, there's just so much to see. Then we met up with Christy and went to the Layton mall to shop around, I finally got new sun glasses from Aero, Hallelujah!!
I got contacts on Monday. It took about an hour to get them in and 45 minutes to take them out that first day, but by day 2 I could do it in under 5 minutes. I'll be a pro in no time. I'm so glad to get rid of the glasses.
So now I'm just waiting to graduate on May 2, take my final boards on May 8, go on our cruise on May 24, and hopefully get my Dental Hygiene License in early June.

Chicken Tortilla Soup!

I love Cafe Rio Chicken tortilla soup! However I love Joni more!
Love, Dave

I love Charlie!!

I just returned home from a 5-day trip to San Francisco to meet my cute new nephew, Charlie. I was able to be there for his one-month birthday which was fun. It was so fun to live in the house with a newborn baby. He is so cute and so fun. It was funny because Mar would feed him, then let me hold him as he fell asleep and then he would wake up and it would be time to feed him again. Every time Mar would say it's time to feed him I would say, didn't you just barely feed him? It's funny how fast time flies and how often babies eat. Mar is such a good mom and it's so cute to see her taking such good care of such a sweet little guy.
While in San Francisco we drove around and saw the sights: The Golden Gate Bridge, the freezing cold beach, fisherman's wharf, Robin William's home, and downtown San Francisco. Some of the streets are so steep I don't think I would dare drive on them, but Mar had no problem, she's used to them by now. While I was there Josh had to fly to Salt Lake for his grandpa's funeral so I was able to spend some quality time with just Mar, Charlie, and my mom, but we did miss Josh.
Being with Charlie all day everyday allowed me the chance to really fall in love with him and his sweet spirit. It made me realize that I could totally handle being a mom someday. At first it seemed impossible, but as I watched how Mar handled things I realized that it is doable. Although, I wasn't the one who had to wake up every 2 hours throughout the night, I'm sure that changes everything.
I'm so thankful that I got the opportunity to meet Charlie and to spend time with Mar and my mom. I was so sad when I had to leave because I know I'm going to miss Charlie a ton. Good thing I had Dave at home waiting for me, otherwise I may never have come home.
