B-day

Today was my dad's b-day so my sister and I decided to do something nice and decorate his desk at work. It was fun and I think he appreciated it.

Kind of simple but we didn't have a whole lot of time this morning.

Elder Ross

So an old companion of mine posted pictures from the mission on facebook. They were fun to look at and remember the people I knew. I really enjoyed my mission and am really glad I went. I met tons of interesting people, some I still keep in touch with and some I wish I could forget, namely a guy mauling me on the street corner in NoHo. Anyways, so I came across this picture. I forgot that this is what he looked like, very innocent and young, so young. It made me laugh cause that guy I def didn't know like I know now and where we both have come since. But its a picture that makes me smile so I thought I would share.
It shows how long I have been home, it took quite a while before I realized she is breaking the rules, she is touching him, not just touching him but TOUCHING him :) This is one of the many members in the mission that took very good care of all the missionaries that came through. The sisters I went home with spent our next to last night in the mission at her house.

Gotta Love April

The weather lately has been sporatic. It will be warm for a day or two, I have even been wearing shorts and flip flops. Then it would rain and be very cold. On Wed it was raining again and half way through the day the heavy rain turned to snow. Within a couple of hours we had like 2 inches of snow. Then it stopped and seemed to be melting. Then, yesterday morning I woke up to at least a foot of snow on my car. I was going to get pictures but forgot. It took at least 10 min to dig my car out, there was so much snow. By 4:30 in the afternoon much of the snow was gone. The bad part of the weather was that cause of the warm weather most of the trees were in bloom and then when it snowed the blossoms caught and held the snow so the trees were covered in snow, which was gorgeous, but the trees weren't used to that much weight and trees were falling down and branches broke off. The complex next to ours had a couple of large purple plum trees and one of them had broken off at the trunk and the other had many large branches broken off. Half my parent's purple plum broke off under the weight. We have gotten snow this late but never this much. I am so ready for summer and warm weather. I think someone forgot to tell the weather its the middle of April.

Date Night

So we, Ross and I, decided we needed to get in the habit of date night. I have been meaning to post this but had prolems with internet connection and now its good so I am posting now.

We are taking turns planning and Ross did our first one and we went bowling. We went to Cafe Rio for dinner and then went to the bowling alley. We had to wait a little while for our lane to be ready so Ross kicked my butt at pool. Then we started bowling. We used to play a lot on the mission on our p-day and I always used a heavier ball than the elders and kicked everyones butt, I would beat in a landslide. Since I got home from my mission I haven't done so well. When we started playing, I like to make things interesting and put a wager on it. We bet a dollar on the first game, which Ross was doing very well at first and I was not so good but in the end came back to win. The 2nd game we put ice cream on the line. (whats a date in Utah without an ice cream cone?) I couldn't believe how well I did. In the end I think I beat Ross by like 70 points. In the last picture you can kind of see the points. But it was a lot of fun and I think its a good habit to get into.
