This weekend, I was reminded of two things.
1) I left Logan because it is always freezing there. I went to visit my friend, Chelsea and to hang out with her again. It snowed a lot and I had to scrape my car for the first time in about three months. Since we have a covered garage, we never had to worry about it.
2) I love my husband. He is simply amazing. I came home from being away for the weekend and the house was clean and everything! It was so nice!

Couches, Fishing, and NCAA Tournaments
Those three things may have nothing in common to you but to us, that is what we've been doing lately.
When we moved into our home, we received a free couch and two free chairs. Free is always great, especially for a newlywed couple. However, the downfall of free was that the couch and one chair were a pastel pink. It was okay for a while but this weekend, I had enough. Our plan was to always buy a slipcover but they are so expensive. This weekend, I bought a king and queen flat sheet to make into slip covers. We haven't stapled the sheets to the couch yet (that is another weekend project) but they look a lot better. If you can't tell by the picture, our couch is now tan with beautiful blue pillows that match other knick-knacks in our living room.
As many know, tis the season for NCAA tournament. I decided to make our wall the bracket for us. We have a few empty walls and what better way to fill them! We are doing the bracket starting with the Sweet Sixteen and down to the championship. Using tacks and yarn, our bracket proudly bears my favorite two names: Wisconsin and BYU! I hope they play each other in the Elite Eight.
With my calling to Nursery, I was in charge of singing time this week. I made cool fish and then a fishing pole. I put magnets on each fish and a magnet at the end of the fishing pole. The kids went fishing for songs! It went pretty well this morning and the kids liked it. Some of them know primary songs better than I do!

What We've Been Up To...
Since our drastic haircuts, we've done quite a bit.
Most recently, Chelsea and Jeff came to visit for their spring break. Chelsea is a dear friend from my freshman year at Utah State University. They came down to Springville to visit Joseph and I for a weekend. We fed ducks (a tradition between us), went to a comedy show, ate some delicious food and played some new games. Church was great because I finally had someone to sit by in Relief Society!
Aside from their visit, I received a calling in Church... IN THE NURSERY! We met with our bishop a few weeks ago and he asked both of us where we would want to serve. Joseph quickly said I would love primary/nursery. So lo and behold, I am in nursery. Next Sunday will be my first week and I am beyond excited. The first few weeks are tough because the youngsters don't know you quite yet but it will come.
Also, Joseph and I have been going on some fun dates lately. We finally found the duck pond where we had our first date (neither of us could remember where it was) so we visited there a few weeks back. We've also gone to a museum, hockey game, and the Sweet Tooth Fairy Check it out! It was delicious. We also visited the Draper temple and hope to go to other temples in Utah.
Looking ahead, we have about five weeks left of the semester. After finals, we're leaving for Texas for a few days to visit Joseph's brother, sister-in-law and nephew. It will be my first time to Texas! Summer looks like it will be busy but great! We're planning some fun trips already!
