10 for Tuesday!

1) Gary turned 29 on March 12th and so we celebrated with going out to his favorite restaurant called the "Alamo". After dinner we went home and had chocolate ice cream cake and he open presents. It was a nice quiet evening. His mom also celebrated with us. We originally plan to go downtown to celebrate his birthday, but on Saturday it was pouring rain so we decided not to go and decided to see Avatar instead. It took us this long, but we finally watched it. We both thought that it was fantastic! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!




2) We had our Stake Conference Temple session a week an a half ago which I always enjoy We also had our ward conference as well that weekend.
3) I went to a Young Women presidency meeting to discuss our final plans for the Young Women social & broadcast. We are hopeful that a lot more people come this time.
4)Gary drove down with a group for work down to PA to go threw a paper & a particle board plant for an inspection on how it all works.
5) Once again our basement flooded because of the rain so we had to pull the carpet back and turn on the dehumidifier to dry it all out. I soaked up the floor in the unfinished room.

6) This last weekend we saw another movie that we have wanted to see which was "Alice in Wonderland". It wasn't creepy as the commercials make it look. We really enjoyed it and thought it was well done.
7) We also had Stake Conference last weekend which was good. It was a broadcast from Salt Lake so we had the privilege to hear from Elder Sitati, Jay Jensen, Barbara Thompson and Boyd K. Packer. They were all very good talks. This was my first experience with a broadcast for stake conference which i thought was interesting and worked pretty well. We had a prayer and a song and they made some sustaining's before the broadcast started.
8) Before the general session we had a youth session where I played the piano for which went alright. I'm always nervous playing in front of a crowd. We had good talks and afterwards we had refreshments.
9) For Gary's birthday I had bought him a pair of pants that he tried on and were a little snug so i told him that we could exchange them to a better fit and he agreed so I had put them in the car ready to take them to the store whenever we were out that way, but we never seem to make it there. I kept telling Gary that we should go to the store to exchange them but he kept changing his mind so on Saturday I told him to go to the mall so we could do it. As we came up to the service desk and Gary put down the pants he heard a clunk so he reach into his pocket and pulled out our cell phone which we had been missing for a week. It was hillarious! The moral of the story? Listen to your wife!
10) Till' next time!

10 for Whatever!

1) Every week I have been getting together with my friends over at my house for a "Craft Night" which has been a lot of fun. Craft night is open for whatever anyone is working on whether it is scrapbooking, sewing, etc.

2) Wednesday we went to Obedience school for Zoe. She is one of the better one's in class and one of the smallest dogs there. She is doing well, but for some reason I had a hard time getting her to lay down. Perhaps if was because she was in a new area or something i'm not sure. She does it perfectly when we are at home. Hopefully I can get her to do it this week.

3) Thursday we had our writer's group as usual.

4) Ran lots of errands on Saturday. We picked up some stepping stones so that we don't have to trudge through all the mud everytime we would go to the garbage can. Gary accidentally put one down to hard and it broke, but the rest of them survived which was good.

5) We went to the post office to mail off our taxes and as we were coming out they were selling girl scout cookie's so we picked up a couple. We are very excited to get our tax refund back soon, it is almost as much as we put as a downpayment on our house!

6) After church on Sunday we were invited over to a friends house who just moved into our ward for dinner with their two daughters. It was nice to get to know them better.

7) We had another family in our ward who have two little boys come over Monday for FHE. Gary gave a nursery lesson and I played a primary song on the piano. The little 3 year old loved playing with Zoe. After the lesson our guests brought delicious strawberry shortcake.

8) Gary was started to feel sick while at work so I took him home so he could rest.

9) Gary stayed home yesterday since he still wasn't feeling well.

10) We have been having really nice springlike weather lately which is a real blessing and relief from all the snow.



Till' next week!
