School's Out For Summer

So I changed my song on my iPod because I swear I can't get this chorus out of my head!  I am so excited to be done with finals!  I have a million things I want to do this summer.  Phillip finished yesterday and he's such an awesome hubby because he started tilling the garden and boy howdy are we gonna have a big one.  We got the following done so far...

(So basically all the tilling and this tiny little flower box - 

which is actually the ugly hitch on our trailer, but I had to spruce it up)

And then the following happened...

(turn off the sound on my iPod to hear what I'm saying)

Just as we were about to go outside to plant out gazillion and one seeds, I looked out the window and it was snowing!  What the heck?!  It's April, well May tomorrow.  Crazy enough, this was as it was starting.  It has since gotten worse and we have a thin fresh layer of snow on the ground.  The crazy part is it was really warm yesterday and the sun was out this morning.

wHaT?!

sNoW...at the end of ApRiL?! 

 

It's sticking...and there's lots of it too!

  

So when exactly should we start planting our garden?!

My friend Sarah tagged me and I decided to surprise her and actually play along! I admit the last time I played along was in this post...and again in this post. So folks, this is rare! Sarah...you are welcome, haha!!!

{ 7 Random Things About Me }


1. I only like jersey knit sheets { and I have converted my husband }! This has posed problems with getting a good nights rest when we are away from home!

2. I HATE milk! I refuse to drink it. My mother-in-law has finally accepted this after 7 plus years of being married into this family.

3. I LOVE the snow and cold! I could watch it snow for hours! When we lived in Colorado Phillip and I loved to sit in jammies on a Sunday afternoon and read by the fireplace!

4. I LOVE to go camping but we rarely get a chance to go! We have a HUGE camping trip planned for this summer though!

5. We bought a cute place back in June of last year and have only lived there about a month all together because we have been taking online classes and traveling between Arizona and Utah.

6. Because of number five we haven't had callings in almost a year. In fact, we've only been to our ward once since moving here! The second time we tried to go while in town we got there just as everyone was leaving because it was stake conference. I miss the ward family feeling of belonging and giving service.


7. I am beyond stressed right now because it is the end of the semester and I have a few papers and finals due all at the same time { so why am I wasting my time blogging }!

What's In A Name?!

I am enlisting the help of all my blogging friends! I need name ideas for something pretty darn special! As most of you know my mom and I are doing the 3 Day 60 mile Breast Cancer Walk and our team needs a name. Any suggestions would be super! Feel free to email them to me or post as a comment! Thanks!

Eat Your Heart Out

My husband had to go to Arizona last Thursday to do some bids for a few contractors to do their home theaters.  He knew I was jealous that he got to go to Arizona, but also that I was bummed because we wouldn't see each other for a week.  So he got home really late Wednesday night because he had gotten me these beautiful flowers!

He also splurged and got us ice cream...

 

...and we watched The Ultimate Gift!

What an awesome movie!  I recommend it to everyone.

So as I sit here and download my pictures and do this post I am missing him like crazy.  On a happy note, I get to go pick him up tomorrow afternoon at the airport.

In the mean time all I've done here at our house in Logan is...homework...homework...and projects.  I've thoroughly enjoyed all the snow though!  To all my friends in Arizona who have their air conditioning on, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

One Happy Girl {ME}

I have a new favorite mascara (click here)! Nuff' said!

Oh No I Didn't!!!

I went on a shopping spree! Well, sort of! Phillip and I love to read and someday we hope to have an extensive library in our home. No library is complete without the classics of course! So we found out that Barnes & Noble had a huge selection of classics in hardback for only $6.36 each! While I was out and about today I decided to run in the store and see what they had in stock. Let's just say the guy checking me out thought I was nuts. He kept looking at my pile with a blank face. After he told me the total and I was paying, he said are you planning on doing some light summer reading. The only words I could muster up was...maybe. This doesn't complete the collection, but it adds to the 7 others I have on my shelf at home. Yeah for books!
