April Fools!

Last year Ian got me good. I'm mean really good! He came home from work acting all mad and worried, then he handed me an official letter from Advanta Bank saying that he was getting laid off in 2 weeks. (Ha, little did we know that it would come true about a year later!) I started to freak out because I was 2 weeks from graduating and then I still had to apply for my license as a hygienist. He let me go on and on for a good 10 minutes before he finally smiled and said "April Fools!"

I vowed to get him back because that was the meanest prank he has ever pulled! I was almost in tears as I tried to figure out what we were going to do. So if anyone has a really good idea, please pass them my way!

House Hunting

So for the last 2 weeks we have been looking at houses. We have driven all over the Salt Lake Valley looking at homes. Some are great, others scare me-a lot! We found one house we really liked but it was a short sale and already had several offers on it so we decided to pass. We are going out with our realtor again this week so wish us luck! I never knew how hard and frustrating this process is!

In other news, Ian started a new job at Wells Fargo last week. He is really enjoying it. Our insurance will start in a month so hopefully that means we can get back on track with our plans to get pregnant. We are going to need a baby to help fill up a new house!

She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Last weekend we got together with some good friends for a night out on the town. Ian found out that the best Beatles tribute band, 1964 The Tribute, was in town. Ian is a huge Beatles fan and has already seen The Tribute several times, but since I had never seen them we decided to go. They were amazing! The looked and sounded just like them. And of course you know every song they sing so you can sing along at the top of your lungs! It was so much fun! Thanks to Ian for the great suggestion and our friends for a great night out. When they are back in town, I would highly recommend anyone to go see them perform!

I Feel So Grown Up!

We have a realtor! How crazy is that? I feel like such an adult now! We are going to look at some houses-we will keep you posted!

Good Times

Last night Ian and I got together with some old friends from the mission. It has been several years since we have seen each other, although we keep saying we need to get together, it just never seems to happen! We went to dinner and a movie. I thought the people at the Macaroni Grill were going to kick us out because we sat there and talked for an hour after our meal was over! But it was so fun to see them all. Two of my old companions (Sister Brown and Hall) were there as well as two elders (Elder Bera and Winslow). Both Sister Hall and I married elders from the mission. Poor Sister Brown's husband was the only one there who hadn't served in the Iowa Mission. I hope that we get together more often then every 3 years!

PS I took my camera and then didn't take any pictures, so I found these old pictures of us on the mission! Elder Bera is the one holding up Santa's hat. Also Elder Winslow and me during a transfer, how funny is that? He looks so young!

UDA Convention

The Utah Dental Association had their annual convention this month. And yes, it is as exciting as it sounds! The main purpose of this was to get the required continuing education hours needed to keep my license current, oh and to learn about the newest information in periodontal health! I met up with 7 girls from hygiene school. It was so fun to see them and to hang out again, it was just like old times minus the ridiculous school projects! Girls, you are the best and to those who couldn't make it, we missed you!! Until next year ladies!

Happy Birthday

Yesterday was Ian's 31st birthday! He said that he wanted a wireless router for his X-box for his birthday, so that's what I got him. It didn't sound to exciting to me, but that was his request. We both had to work that day, so it was a low key birthday. We went to Lone Star for dinner and then I "suprised" him with a birthday cake. It was nice just to spend time together. I hope you had a great birthday sweetie! I love you!
