April 2012

Well, what more can I say about this month other than I turned 26 years old and had a fabulous French-themed birthday celebration.

This Eiffel Tower is the handiwork of Jason and Russell.  Impressive, eh?  I sure thought so.  We ate delicious crepes and fresh berry tart...

Jason made a ridiculously difficult French trivia game and nobody knew any of the answers.  It was awesome.  

Easter was also wonderful this year.  I made a little Easter garland to hang and we attended an Easter music celebration at the Stake Center and brought along a nonmember friend we have.  There couldn't have been a better way to celebrate.

March 2012

After a 6 month hiatus, I decided it's time to repent and make up for lost time.  March was truly a wonderful month.  Unfortunately, it was also the month that threw me off!  We had an early spring in Iowa this year and my family was able to visit during their spring break.  Mom, Dad, Chloe and Hayden all came to spend 4 1/2 wonderful days with Jason and I.  We took lots of pictures, all of which are stuck on Chloe's camera.  Hence the lack of postings.

We did lots while they were here though.  We visited the Amana colonies, where Dad greatly enjoyed the furniture and clock shop, and we enjoyed a nice German meal.  We visited Nauvoo and Carthage.  We flew kites and hung shelves.  We ate frozen yogurt and looked at dead animals in the museum.  We strolled around Menard's and concluded it was better than Home Depot, even Dad agreed.  All in all, it was fantastic and was so fun to finally have some visitors in Iowa!
