February Recap

Wow! And I thought last month was fairly uneventful. I'm racking my brain for what we've done this past month that could be considered blog-worthy... This may take a while... We've been busy, as always, but just with the same ol', same ol' other than the addition of my (almost) daily workouts to our already-crammed scheduled. I'm going on 7 weeks straight! I missed Monday and Tuesday due to a nasty sinus headache/cold, but I was right back at it Wednesday and Thursday with a kickboxing class and then a killer strength & conditioning class (we did full body circuit training... thanks, Liv)! I think my jeans are getting looser, but I can never tell until they're literally falling down.

Sooo... here's what I can come up with that I haven't already blogged about.

*Stk. YW Basketball season: I'm in charge and this is hardly blog-worthy other than it taking up some of my Saturday afternoons. Why is it not blog-worthy? Well, it's not that I don't want it to be, but we have had almost ZERO participation. Only one ward has shown up every week, with the exception of a couple girls from my ward that showed up once. I hate to say it, but it's been a pretty pathetic season as far as turn-out goes.

*Portland trip for Baron's blessing on Feb. 1st: It was great to see John, Steph and their boys again. Steph was nice enough to snag me a chance to hold Baron for a few minutes... a difficult task to do when both grandmothers are there (one from southern CA and one from southern OR). We also enjoyed spending some time with all of the Grahams and Steph's parents and little brother. I was impressed by how well Jackson and Ethan played together despite both of them desperately needing a nap and running on fumes. To give you an idea of how tired Ethan was, he was out cold within a few blocks of driving for home!

*My family went to Mexico!! Sooo jealous. The beach. Warm sun. Senor Frogs. [[Sigh...]] My great-aunt Ruthie has a time-share and has invited my family to go the last couple years... we're too poor, but my parents and Lizzy got to go. They brought us back some t-shirts and vanilla (the only vanilla I'll use when baking if I can help it) and Lizzy got me a cute keychain and fish-shaped ceramic box for our tropical-themed bathroom. She also got her hair braided. Here she is with the braids (and sunburn):

And after they were taken out:

*I fulfilled my sacrament meeting talk obligation. I should be off the radar now for at least a year, right?! I spoke on Unity (within your marriage, the home and the church) - it was well received.

*Sean and I squeezed in a date night the last Friday of the month. We went to go see Bride Wars. We thought it was pretty funny and good if you're looking for a light comedy. We're hoping to see Valkyrie next. Afterwards we shared some yummy desserts at Applebee's. My parents showed up not long after we got there, so we actually switched tables to chat with them for a while.

What we're looking forward to in March...

*My hair appointment (last) Saturday!! Ok, I may be the only one in the family who was actually looking forward to it.

*Sean off for a full week for Spring Break! Don't accountants get spring break off too?!

*We get to go see WICKED!!! If you've never heard of it, click on the title... it's one of the best musicals ever. We saw it three years ago and absolutely loved it. Of course, we had already memorized the soundtrack before the show because the music is that good. Ok, you can be jealous now! ;)
