CRAZINESS

So I have officially decided that summer is way more busy than the school year. We already have plans for over half the weekends this summer, besides of course me working full time and taking a class, and Kayleen going to school full time and working.
I need a breather. So it is nice when something fun and/or relaxing comes along. Like this weekend we decided spur of the moment to go down to Enterprise. We decided yesterday. And we are going today. Just because. We want to leave Provo for a bit and go see all 3 of my cute and fun sisters. So that should be fun.
We got to see my Mom on Tuesday night, which was also fun. She came to the temple with us and we went out to eat at Sammy's (Kayleen's favorite!) They were out of ice cream though, so we are already planning to go back soon to get a famous Sammy's pie-shake.
Sorry there are no pics. I keep forgetting to upload pictures from my camera. I know there are some that I wanted to post on the blog, but now it's been so long that I don't even remember what the pictures are of. Oh well.

P.S.

Kayleen's hard work this last semester paid off and out of the 4 classes for her major, she got 3 A's and 1 A-. Good job, my love!!

New term, new adventures

It's been a while again, mostly due to the craziness of finals and finishing up the winter semester. We are now into Spring. Kayleen is taking a full load of classes and will soon finish her job at the elementary school when they get out in May. I am taking one class and working 40 hours a week. So we will have a plenty busy summer.
Kayleen got to go back to Minnesota last weekend for her birthday, and she had a wonderful time. Of course she got spoiled while she was there, but she didn't seem to mind coming back home to me. I think she really enjoyed her birthday present.
No time to write more now, but hopefully soon I should have time to upload some pictures and post something more interesting.

General Conference weekend (sorry, no pics)

This weekend was General Conference of the Church. We got to hear the leaders of the Church give wonderful testimonies of Jesus Christ, the Atonement, faith, covenants, and other principles of the Gospel. It was so good and so uplifing. My faith in the Savior grew even more.
My favorite talks were Jeffrey Holland's about the last week of Christ's life, Steven Snow's about adapting to change, and Robert Hales' about being strong during the financial crisis. Each of the talks helped me to see what I can do better to serve God and others.
We were able to watch the Saturday sessions at Brian and Megan's place, along with Shaun/Lanette, Tricia/Jason, and Sarah. We had a potluck lunch and had a lot of fun. We watched the Sunday sessions at home.
We are in the last week of school and getting our last papers and assignments done so we are ready for finals next week! That is about all that is new around here!
Love you all and miss you and hope you have had a great weekend and week!

Relaxing Sunday

Pics of us enjoying time together at the temple:




5 Browns concert (a.k.a. amazingness)

I like this picture of me and my sweetheart. She is so wonderful for taking me to the concert. It was a lot of fun and they were so good! My favorite pieces that they played were "The Planets" and "Fantasie Impromptu" and Prokofiev's Toccatta and pretty much everything else they played.
This is Kayleen sleeping through the concert. (just kidding, she liked it too)
This is me being amazed at wonderful talent and beautiful music.

Fun stuff


This is from going with Tricia and Jason up to Bridal Veil Falls. It was fun.

Y Ball!

Last Saturday, BYU hosted a free ball for married couples! It featured a live band, dinner, and dancing. We went with our friends Tricia and Jason and Megan and Brian. It was a grand time! We liked having a night out together (nice break from school!)




Valentine's Day!

We spent Valentine's Day in St. George and in Enterprise! We went to the temple and also went out to eat at Red Robin.  We just enjoyed taking a little vacation together!
