Time to Apply!

Grades came out today for BYU...this means Thomas can now apply for the accounting program!!! We're so excited...also so nervous! He's going to write his essay tonight (the only thing he has left to do for the application) and send everything in tonight! We probably won't find out if he gets in or not until mid-summer but just the fact that he can finally apply is SO exciting!! Keep your fingers crossed for us!--his getting into the program or not pretty much determines the rest of our lives!! YIKES.

Hypochondriac

I am such a hypochondriac! I've had lockjaw for the last 36 or so hours and it's driving me nuts! Then when I complained to Thomas, he told me maybe I had tetanus and that people die from it...so being the hypochondriac I am, I've been thinking about it all day! Right when I got home from work, I got onto webmd and looked up the symptoms for tetanus. SURE ENOUGH--lockjaw! Hopefully it's something else. Maybe since I work for a doctor, I should just ask her. Bloggers, comfort me!

Emma Models

Tonight, Thomas and I went to Mark and Laurin's house and played games. I had Emma model some of my bows and clippies for me and gave her a new bow and headband in return! You get more of the effect of the cuteness of the bows when someone is actually wearing them.

Thanks, Emma Boo!!!

Girls' Night!

On Thursday, Thomas got to go to the Lakers vs Jazz game with Jesse (one of his roommates from last year). The game didn't start until 8:30 so he was going to be gone ALL NIGHT! SO...my sister and I had a girls' night! I think it was the first time either of us were out of them house past 11pm for nine months (me since marriage and her since the baby)! We had a LOT of fun! Laurin came over around 8:15 and we watched an episode of friends while painting our toe nails.

After that, we bought ice cream at Macey's (the grocery store, not the department store for those of you who don't live in Utah). YUM.

Please excuse the face I'm making.

After ice cream, we went to see She's Just Not That Into You at the dollar theater. It was really funny! The theater was FULL of girls and towards the end there was a lot of cheering and girly screams and lots of "awwwww"'s. I'm pretty sure I've never been in a theater that full of girls. Anyway, we both really liked the movie minus a few scenes. :] So the movie didn't start until 10:20...late! We didn't get back to my apartment until 12:45am! I'm telling you...we're wild. How sad that I'm only 20 (without kids) and this is super late for me! Thomas and I need to party more. Overall, we had a really fun sister/girls' night out!

Also, just thought I should post: Josh came back from Hawaii last week and brought me back this shirt! Isn't it cute!? (it says Maui, Hawaii in that little spot where there is no heart)

Golf & Dinner

Thomas and I had a fun little date night tonight! We first went to the mall so Tom could pick up some free foot pedal for the drums for guitar hero that he got for pre-ordering Guitar Hero Metallica and I bought WallFlower refills from Bath & Body Works! Yay!--about time. Our first and only refill ran out like two months ago and I've been so sad because it makes the house smell SO good. They went on sale for six dollars for two refills so I jumped on that! Japanese Cherry Blossom smelling house?--mmmm!

After the mall, we decided (or Tom decided) to go to the driving range. It was pretty fun even though I'm terrible even after lots of coaching from Thomas. He can hit the ball so far! I was amazed every time.

After golf, we went to dinner at Macaroni Grill (our excuse was that tomorrow is our 10 month anniversary). We don't feel so bad about spending money on a nice dinner when there is something to celebrate! We both got the shrimp scampi (yum!) and then we had a coupon for a free dessert when you purchase two entrees so we shared a cheesecake. It was SO delectable!

Also...my latest and greatest bows! I learned how to make korker bows (is that how you spell it?) and I think they are beyond cute!!

Thomas only has ONE MORE FINAL (Monday) and then no more school for four whole months!! We are both sooo excited!!! Okay so I wasn't going to blog about last week but now I'm going to because I have some cute pictures. Laurin and I got to spend practically the whole week together!! The Savage's (the family I nanny for) went to Hawaii for Spring Break and so they were gone all last week so I only had Lia to watch. She played with Emma the whole week and they had so much fun!--we had to learn a lot about sharing but that was good for Lia since she has a new brother coming in August! We went to the Bean Museum at BYU and Emma and Lia had so much fun together. Lia wanted to push Emma's stroller and she would stick her head through the crack and say "Hi, Emma!" It always got Emma laughing (see last picture). Laurin and I had so much fun spending time together! Next week will be a hard one bouncing back from a week of ease!

Yet another busy weekend

I'll just update on the busy weekend we've had!

On Friday, Kallie and I went into the clinic for a couple hours and filed (I still feel like there are millions of papers left to file--there probably are!) Lia doesn't come on Fridays (her mom has that day off) and Josh and his family are in Hawaii so I didn't have any kids to nanny. After filing, we met up with Tom for lunch. We had Subway at the CougarEat...yummy! After lunch, Kallie and I hiked the Y. It was really fun!--at least I thought so. Kallie wanted to go back down after the third turnpike but I made her keep going. It only took us about an hour to get to the top and then a half hour to come back down. Neither of us like heights very much so we only sat on the very edge of the bottom of the Y and didn't dare climb up to the top of it! I love that hike--I think I might try to do it once a week during the summer!...we'll see.

After the hike, Thomas, Kallie, and I went to the dollar theater and saw Mall Cop. I really didn't want to see it because I'm not into the stupid-funny movies but Kallie and Tom both wanted to see it so we did. I have to admit it was one of the few movies that turned out exactly as I expected it would (I thought it was pretty dumb). Kallie and Tom thought it was funny though so I guess if you enjoy the funny-stupid you would like it!

Friday night, Kallie and I made homemade tortilla chips (so yummy!) and seven layer bean dip. We thoroughly enjoyed both!--so did Thomas and his friend, Jesse.

Saturday, I threw a bridal shower for one of my good friends, Sabrina, who lived in the dorms last year with me. The morning of the bridal shower was hectic! The shower started at 11:30 and we needed to get some prints from kinkos, put together some posters, make chicken salad croissants, chocolate covered strawberries, and finish the punch as well as tidy up, vacuum, sweep/mop, set out the prizes, and burn a movie we made for the shower from the computer to a DVD. Somehow, we got everything done right as the first guest arrived. The food was a HIT. Everyone LOVED the croissants (thank you, Costco, for the yummy chicken salad!) and the strawberries and we got so many compliments on how good the punch was! I'm so glad everything turned out good! The games were really fun as well and everyone said it was a really fun bridal shower (even Kallie thought so and she didn't even know the bride!). Hoorah for successful parties!

Me and the Bride

My parents were in town this weekend for training (my dad is a session director for EFY during the summers so every year they come to Utah for a weekend of training). On Saturday night, we went to dinner with them and Laurin and Mark at Cafe Rio. We love that place! After dinner, my parents, Thomas, Kallie, and I went shopping to find a new dress for my mom. We searched and searched and finally found TWO cute ones at Dress Barn! I'm pretty jealous--wish I could have bought two new dresses!! :] While shopping, Thomas found two nice ties at Ross for each under $10. What a steal! After shopping, we stopped at Cold Stone. I almost always get birthday cake remix because I love it so much but lately I've been trying out new things. Last night, I got the signature creation with the cheesecake ice cream. I can't remember what it's called but it had strawberries, blueberries, and graham cracker pie crust mixed into it (I actually substituted bananas for the blueberries) and it was SO good! I think I will get the same thing next time I go! Maybe I have found a new favorite??

Tonight, Thomas and I went to Laurin and Mark's for Easter dinner. Mark's brother and fiance came as well. I was in charge of bringing the mashed potatoes and salad (and then I offered to bring punch since there is sooo much leftover from the bridal shower!) We played The Newlywed Game (Thomas and I won!) and Scattergories. A fun night!

Miss you already, Kal!

Hide and Seek

Like I've said before, I have no children of my own so I have to post cute things of other people's children. Yesterday, Kallie and I were playing hide-and-seek with Lia. One of us would hide and tell her to cover her eyes. The other person would tell her when to go find them and she didn't understand that she could uncover her eyes so she ran around with her eyes covered. After awhile, she kind of understood the finding part so we let her hide. She never really got this part. She would run to the nearest room with an open door and shut it while we were standing right there. Anyway, I acted like I couldn't find her and would say "Where is Lia? Is she behind this door maybe?" and everytime Lia would respond from behind the door "yes!" hahaha. We got a video of it because it was so funny. If you listen closely you can hear her saying "yes!"
