Week in Review and News

Wow, we have had a busy week . Make that a busy month. I honesty have no idea where January went. The first month of the year gone, already! It seems like Christmas was just yesterday. Anyways. ..last week in review. . .Wednesday my mom and I brought dinner to my good friend Jenn and her family. I have know Jenn since we were like 13. She is such a great friend. Jenn just had twin girls a few weeks ago. They are cutest babies ever, Geneva and Brooklyn. Not to mention she also has a 2 year-old. Christian turned two only 6 days before the babies were born. She is now supermom. They are all doing great. I still can't believe she has 3 kids! Wow, below is picture of the new family of 5.

Thursday night we had Cooking club at church and made fondue. It was really good. We had chocolate and fruit, cheese and bread, meat and all kind of different dipping sauces. The only fondue I have really had before this was just from a chocolate fountain. So it was pretty cool. Megan and I went together. We really haven't hung out much since the baby so it was great to catch up.
On Saturday morning we had a in service meeting with the board members in Relief Society. I had to teach a lesson and have been working on it for a while. Surprisingly it went really well. I am still new at teaching and I every time I have to teach I get really nerveous before. But it was actually great and I think am getting better at it. Our theme for Relief Society this year is "Instruments in His Hands". We had a little medical thing going on. We were all wearing scrubs and lab coats. It turned out really cute. I wish I had a picture of that.
Saturday afternoon was book club at Britt's house. And oh, my goodness she made this awesome White Chicken chili. Mm mm. . .it was so good. I think I ate like 2 bowlfuls. I think she is going to post the recipe on the book club blog. Next month I have to host book club at my house. I will have to put up some pictures of that.
And for the news . . .are you ready? ? ? ? No, sorry I am not pregnant. Oh that reminds me. . .We were all at book club and my Mom gets all serious and she is like I have to tell you guys something and we are all on the edge of our sit wondering what she is going to say. She turns and looks at me and says "I am pregnant" I knew she was joking, but she really had me going there for second. Anyways. . .the exciting news. . .some of you may already know this. . . Drew was called to be the Ward Mission Leader at church yesterday!!!! That is a pretty big calling. We have know for a couple of weeks now. It has been hard not to tell anyone. Now that it is official I can tell the whole world! It is just so amazing to me to see how much Drew is growing. He has only been a member of the church for 4 years!!! He is awesome. I just can't describe to you how wonderful he is!!! So he is working full time, taking 18 hours worth of classes and is the ward mission leader!!! I am so proud. You go , Baby!!! I know he will be great!!!! Well, I think that is everything that has happened this week. Sorry for the long winded post!!

Dean's List and Makeovers


I just wanted to say congratulations to my wonderful husband. Drew made the Dean's List for fall semester!!! To make it on the Dean's list you have to have at least a 3.6 GPA or greater. And he did it his first semester of college while working full time and taking a full load!!! Amazing. I am so proud of him!!! Way to go babe!!!! On Thursday my good friend Julie and I got Mary Kay makeovers from our friend Meranda. I have never been a big fan of Mary Kay before, but I really liked some of there stuff. It was fun to try some different looks. Don't we look gorgeous???

Saturday

On Saturday Drew started back to school. He is taking 18 hours this semester and working full time. He is going to be very busy, but I know he can do it. I am very proud of him. He is super smart and he is very good at prioritizing his time. That is something that I am not good at. I am so last minute. I am trying to do better. After Drew got home from school we ran to Wally-world and did some shopping. Then we met up with Cindy and Stephen at Five Guys. After dinner we went to Rita's for Italian ice and custard. Very yummy.

Cindy and I at Rita's.
Here is a picture I took of Baloo today. Drew had left the pantry/linen closet open and Baloo decided it looked like a comfortable place to sleep. He is a crazy cat for sure!

I think I am obsessed.

Today I went and saw Twilight for the fifth time. Yeah I know call me crazy. But it so good and I have had wonderful people to see it with each time. It really has been a lot of fun. I don't think I have ever seen a movie this much in theaters or on DVD. I still know someone who has seen Twilight more then me. Two people actually and you know who you are. So I am not that bad. And I got the Soundtrack today too. I am listening to it right now. Thanks to Granny and Lee!!!! And it couldn't have happened on a better day because I am kind of sad today. Drew starts back to school on Saturday. I have really enjoyed our time together over the holidays. It went by so fast. And January is flying by already. I am going to miss him so much!!!! But on the bright side I'll have plenty of time to hang out with my girlfriends.

New Toy

For the past few weeks we have been without a printer. Only because we needed a new cartridge and I guess we have been lazy about getting a new one. So instead we decided to use our Christmas money and invest in a laser jet printer! It prints 23 pages a minute. Imagine that! It is the coolest thing ever.

New Years


We spent New Year Eve at my parents house. We have gone to their house for New Years for the past 3 years now. It has kind of become a tradition. My dad orders a bunch of wings from Mojoe's and my mom makes her salsa. And then we all pig out. I got a couple pictures of Drew being silly. We hope you all had a happy new year!
