There is just something about a real bed :D

Wednesday night I told David I was going to go look at beds on Thursday. Well I went and looked at beds on Thursday, and well I bought one!!! I didn't care, I wanted a real bed, a blow up mattress is not a real bed. So we now have a lovely queen pillow top. I would also say it makes our room look so much nicer too. Lets just tell you my muscles are not use to sleeping on a real bed either, but it was so nice to sleep in a real bed. David was a little mad at me for getting a bed without him knowing, but he will get over it!!! So here is to now having a real bed after just under a year of having an air mattress. I don't understand how David has slept on one for the last two and a half years, so here is to better nights sleep, hopefully...

Anyways other then our new bed, I have been keeping myself busy, I made some new friends which I am really excited about :D Only a year of living here and I finally made some friends of my own :D I have been busy making things for ladies in our ward who are having babies, I wish I was making all these cute things for my babies, but my time will come. Here are a few things I have made over the last week!!





The blue star burp cloth has a blanket to match it like the pink one, but I have not finished it yet, almost!!! and the Pink one is my favourite but, I thought I would be nice and give it away. I still have a while before I have any so I will let other people have some cute stuff too!!! the grey and blueish dragon colour one is my husbands favourite so I will keep that one. But the Pink one I already gave away to the only lady in our ward having a girl. The other burp cloth will go with the matching blanket to another lady in our ward who is having a baby shower next weekend. Which I will be out of town for, but this out of town I will be okay with :D






This tote bag I made one night because one of the ladies in our ward asked if i make tote bags and I said I have never really made one but it can't be that hard, well this is what I came up with. she really liked it and has asked me to tell her how to make one. you can reverse this one too. Didn't think about it until she was like wow it is ever reversible. I was like yes, yes it is :D And the rag blanket I did one day because I was bored!!! But I love the flower material I have been wanting to steal it from my neighbour ever since I saw it... Well we were over at their house for family home evening one night and I asked if i could have half of it, he said why not. I was so excited. The funny thing is he stole it from his drug dealer room mate he had when he was going to school in Cali, so if i stole it, it would have been okay is what his brother said. lol but I didn't have to steal it I got about 3 yards of it so i was pretty excited.

Anyways I am most likely boring you to death now. But I guess I will write to you in a week or two :D

Easter weekend!!!

This has been a great first Easter together!!! I enjoyed being just the two of us without any family. We also decided that we would not answer our phones all weekend long, so our phone didn't come with us any where, it was so nice :D But it was just fun to be able to go to conference go home and relax then go back, or just sit in our own house and listen to it, it was nice not having to worry about traveling or pleasing other people, just ourselves:D We also got a lot done this weekend, more then I thought we would.

So my dear husband has been working very hard on his big boy toy, our car! between sessions and after sessions he worked on putting all the pretty LED on the car, around the car, in the car, just everywhere, he is very excited about this, he has also painted the break calipers, engine cover blue, and put blue tubing around the wires in the engine area.




Sorry it was so bright out when i took these photos, but he is every excited about his big boy toy and loves working on it, and it makes him happy, so i guess what is all that matters :D

I even got my garden planted, it is not very big but at least i am trying :D



I have planted a tomato, two squash, and a cucumber plant!! Here to hoping they grow :D

This weekend I also cooked my very first ham!!! David wanted a honey brown sugar ham, so that is what i made him, he said it was pretty good for my first time, and was just grateful I did it. But it was fun to make an Easter dinner even if it was just for the two of us, he is excited to eat ham sandwiches for left overs, how can you tell I don't make ham ever :D





I also did a Easter egg hunt for David, lol I know I am lame!! I thought it would be fun even though we don't have kids. I think I had more fun putting everything together then David did find them all :D I think he was happy to have lots of candy any ways. Here is all the stuff he got, the eggs have candy in them too!



Here is him searching for his Easter stuff.



Today I also had the opportunity to hang out with one of my friends and make freezer jam, it was fun to hang out with her today, since we have not hung out in a long time!! Thanks Jaime for inviting me over to make some yummy strawberry jam :D



Well David and I were in Utah last month we stopped by the family history centre and asked for copies of my GG Simmons and Grandma Tyssen's patriarchal blessings I got them in the mail last weeks and it was so up lifting to read them and to see the blessing enfold over there lives either good or bad, it really helped my testimony grow!! I hope that my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will read mine and feel that the same feelings as I did and to help their testimonies grown as I had reading their blessing.

Anyways I hope you all had a great Easter weekend, and I am also sorry this blog entry is so long. But April has started off Great and I am sure it will continue to get great as the month continues:D
