April 28 - Spring is here!!!

Jason and I were walking home from class and we saw these daffodils in our neighbors yard. I was so excited because these are my favorite flowers. I think that this means it is finally going to be spring in Rexburg!!! Yay!! This really made my day. Plus, I think the fence in the background is pretty sweet. I will say that I did feel somewhat awkward just walking through their yard to take the picture. They are Asian and they don't speak English, so we can't even talk to them. It's ok though, we survived, they didn't come out and try to kill us or anything crazy. Spring is here!!!

April 27 - Food

So, for dinner I made chicken fettuccine alfredo with broccoli. I was so excited for this to be my picture of the day because I made it from scratch. The problem is that it really doesn't look all that appetizing in the picture. I know it was good though. Oh well. Turned out to be a lame picture.

April 26 - Bishop's Birthday

So this is kind of cheating on pictures, but I didn't have any good ones for this day. On Sunday, the 24th, it was our Bishop's birthday. I must say that we have a pretty awesome ward and some fun people in charge. Somebody got the idea to throw a surprise birthday party for our bishop. People brought all the makings for the party, and then after church most of the ward went and hid in the gym and turned the lights off. When Bishop walked in the gym we all said "surprise"!!! And we had a little party for him. I had to take a picture of this cake, it was by far the coolest one there. I am not even sure who made it, but they did an amazing job! (I forgot to say that our bishop is a hardcore fisherman and that is what he does in all of his free time.) Awesome cake, great ward, and a fantastic birthday party.

April 25 - Taco Bell

Today we decided to go to Taco Bell for lunch with some of our friends. We weren't quite sure what we should order, so we decided to get the GRANDE meal. It comes with 10 items (bean and cheese burritos, hard tacos, or soft tacos). You can mix and match or get all the same. We were so excited, and it sounded really cool. So, we ordered it, and sure enough, it was a TON of food! I figured it would be ok though because Jason was helping me and he can eat alot!!
Well, I hate to admit it, but we couldn't finish it. We fell 3 shy. Lame sauce!!!! Still fun, and very full.

April 24 - Easter

Triplets that look nothing alike. Two girls, one short and one half way tall, and a brown boy. The yellow shirts definitely mean that they are triplets though! It was Easter Sunday and Nichole came over for dinner and to do her laundry. I had never really had an Easter dinner before, so I didn't know what to make. We ended up having meatballs, mashed potatoes and corn. It was sure yummy! We all just happened to be wearing yellow that day, I guess that's just what we do on Easter. This is our small little family away from home.

April 23 - Chinese candy

This may be weird, but I have no idea what is in this or what exactly it is. Jason brought it home one day and said that a guy in Wal-mart gave it to him. It looked like clear jello and it had some sort of fruit or candy suspended in it. I opened it and took a lick but then it kinda weirded me out and so I threw it away. Jason thought I was crazy for trying it, but I didn't die, so it must not be lethal.

April 22 - My plants

I am pretty sure I fail at life! I hope kids are somewhat easier to keep alive than plants!!! The plant on the right has stuck with me for over a year and its still going strong. The one on the left was a present that Jason got me for my birthday. It barely lasted a month. I just don't understand, I water them at the same time. Why did it die? They were even daffodils, those are my favorite!!! The one that lived is just some random green plant, I don't even know what. I am not sure what my problem is.

April 21 - Uphill both ways

You know how your parents always tell you stories of how they walked uphill both ways to school. Well, it may not be a lie. The picture on the top is on my way to school and the picture on the bottom is on my way home from school. It may not look like it, but I promise that they are both uphill, my heart can prove it! I don't know how many places this can happen in, but Rexburg is definitely one of them. Campus is conveniently located on a giant hill!!! With the location of our house it just so happens that we can walk uphill both ways =)

April 20 - Betterish

The next morning the bleeding on his toe had stopped and we could see that it definitely wasn't going to heal itself because it was only connected at the root. We went to the Student Health Center and they took off his whole toenail and then wrapped it in a lovely bright purple bandage, very manly, and sent him on his way. You should have seen the looks people were giving him on campus. Not only was he wearing flip flops, but he also had a huge purple toe. So funny!

April 19 - Busted Toe

So, the night before school started Jason and I had the brilliant idea of re-arranging our living room. Why we didn't do it a few days before, I have no idea! It seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyways, we were in the process of dragging our gigantic TV across the floor since it is too heavy to lift, and Jason's toe got caught under it. He ended up ripping his toenail almost completely off. It started bleeding like crazy and we weren't quite sure what to do. He couldn't really walk because it would start bleeding again, but our living room wasn't even close to being finished! I ended up going to Wal-mart  and getting a few things to bandage him up, it was quite a night!

April 18 - Lasagna

Yeah, that's right...homemade lasagna. Lasagna is one of my most favorite foods, but I have never really made it from scratch because it seems hard, so I decided to give it a try. The end result was fantastic!! I was definitely a fan and will probably do it more often. I was amazed at how easy it actually was, not bad at all! Jason definitely enjoyed it too. I'm not so sure if he counts though because he likes all food...

April 17 - Zebra Bed

My aunt and uncle are probably the coolest people I know!!! One day they decided that they were sick of their regular bed, and so they decided to make a new one. They made the frame out of wood and then wrapped it in foam and covered it with zebra print fabric. Talk about some ambitious people!!! They also hung the net thingy above the bed. My aunt is still working on the bedspread, but it is coming together quite nicely. I am still just in awe, who randomly decides that they should make a bed one day?!
