Our Painting Adventure!
So we set out to repaint the apartment. Thankfully we have nice landlords who said they dint care what we did.... they might regret that one day. lol Just kidding I am not that crazy. But we had a lot of fun! It was done pretty fast, two coats and all in two days. We LOVE it. It's so fun and bright. :) 
We decided to write hidden messages in the walls.....
Ty Hard at work!
And the finished product is.....
I love love love the blue. :) It's the Martha Stewart line, called "Heavenly Blue" and our kitchen will be "Lemonade Ice". That will get done in the next few weeks. :)

Yay for weekends!
So lately I have been OBSESSED with my weekends. Why? I know not.
I have always loved the weekends. I use to start my weekend off by waking up early and then throw on some clothes, and go to the store with my Dad. We would buy either the fixing for French Toast or Corn Flakes. Then it was the usual cleaning and what not before we could actually go do anything. But for a while after moving out and then getting married life has changed alot to say the least. Weekends were so busy with things going on that I felt I didnt have time to breathe. I started missing the way it use to be, I use to be such a morning person, but lately I havent been so much. It was hard to wake up before 8am! So I have been working and working on it. And what do you know! I love waking up on Saturday morning, opening up the front door as the sun is coming up. First thing I do is open the blinds, crack a window and open the door. Sometimes I grab a glass of juice and go sit outside for a few min before getting started for the day. Each week I look forward to my weekends so I can do just that. I love being able to just sit and enjoy the moment of the sun waking up and being slightly cool but still warm and most of all being able to sit and enjoy the moment! Not have to hurry and jump in the shower or anything. So needless to say, one day something just clicked, I woke up happy and early and ...life feels good again. lol Just one of those simple treasures in life, that I love. :)

Life Decisions
Sometimes I wonder, why do I need to grow up??
I think we all have been here at one point in life. I have so much fun with just Ty and I, staying up late talking, goofing off, sleeping in. Making a frosty run at mid night... simple things. I just love it so much though, but it seems that EVERYONE is asking us "when are the kids coming??" Is it bad that I don't want my own yet? I feel like I still want to live life with just Ty and I. I realized that using "Ty is still in school" is a stupid excuse. But a good one. But its still just a cover up. The truth is, I just don't want my own yet. I LOVE kids. I love watching them grow up and discover life and the simple happiness they bring. But I don't want my own yet...... Is that normal? lol Sometimes I wonder if it is or not. Cause really I don't have a desire to have my own yet. I mean I do, but just so I don't have to work full time. But I don't know. I know its between Ty and I, and we ultimately make the decision. (which is nice, lol) If some people had it their way I would have 3 kids by now! haha. But I realized that the other day, and its been on my mind a lot. I feel kinda guilty for not wanting kids yet. I think I'm most bothered by the fact that it bothered me when I realized that was the truth behind all the "excuses".
On a happier note! Its been SO nice lately. I love the weather. As long as it's at least in the 60's I am ok with the rain. Saturday our immediate family all got together (the ones who live around here) and we celebrated my Dad's birthday it was a lot of fun. We met up at Riverton Park and had a BBQ and played. It was nice to go there because when its at someones house there is always something to be done it seems. Not everyone relaxes and just enjoys the company. It was nice to see all the kiddos playing together and having fun. They are all at the stage where they like to play together. It seemed for a while they would be around each other but didn't want to play together. So its fun to see! I am so excited for summer! Were going to go camping, swimming, biking and ahh the fun! :) My goal is to get fit and have fun, so I am looking forward to the nice weather because I have the most fun outside! We've biked a little already, and well it wasn't too fun the first time. haha It's been YEARS since I have really rode a bike. Sad I know, but it was painful! So when we get a little extra $ were going to upgrade out seats to nice wide gel seats.... I can already sense the comfort! lol Well hope everyone is doing good!!

People Watching/ Blog Stalking
So I have found something to entertain me during the down time at work...
I LOVE people watching. For some reason its interesting and just relaxing and well
you see some really interesting things by doing so AND you learn a lot about people.
So I check my blog daily and those who I have on my "list". The other day I noticed up
in the top middleish part of the screen it says "Next" and clicked on it. haha . Entertainment!
It just goes through different blogs are arent private and you can keep clicking it to view more.
I havent come across anything vulgar nor nudity and all. (I guess that just luck, cause I imagine there is lots of it!) But I have read alot about people all over the world! I have seen some cute ideas and a lot of useful information. I have come to enjoy it! lol Call me a nerd or weird. But
I think life is interesting. Even those who just blog about their family and what they did that week.
Its entertaining... and I enjoy it.

April Showers will bring....lots more than may flowers!
April Showers have brought a lot this year!
The weather has been teasing us this month! I dont remember it taking this long to warm up in the spring! We get 4 or so days of nice warm weather then snow and rain for a few days! It's off again and on again! Crazy mother nature!
We've had Jennie with us this past month. I took her to the airport yesterday, I was sure sad to see her go! She's so kind and fun to be around! She's just like part of the family now! It was funny as we were at the airport. We were weighing her luggage cause we knew it was over the 50 pounds. So we put in on the scale and it said 50.09 so we asked a lady that was near by if that would be ok and she suggested taking it down to 49.00 lbs because sometimes they are sticklers. So she was talking to us and Jennie didnt understand what exactly she said cause she was talking so fast and a minuet later the lady came back to us and said "if she doesnt speak english or talk very well you can get a security pass and go to the gate with her". Jennie's face was PRICELESS! We both held back our laughter and I just replied "I'll go as far as I can with you" LOL. When she walked away Jennie kept saying "cant speak english, I come from England!!!" we both were laughing pretty good! It was fun to have her but I think she's pretty excited to head back home to her family!
Ty has started another semester! His LAST one till he gets his associates! Yay! One step closer!
He has been lucky and gotten 37 hr work weeks last week and this week. It's SO nice that they give him hrs finally after MONTHS of 15 hr work weeks or just over that! It's nice cause he works 6am till noon or so. So then he has the afternoon to do his school work. I still dont understand how someone can be so dedicated! I certainly wouldnt have the *umph* he does to get it all done! But its a good thing he is! It has gotten in a long way!
We both are still in primary... nothing too new there. We are planning some camping trips that we are looking forward to greatly! Swimming...working out outside! SPEAKING of exercise....... I havent been dedicated enough lately. Gotten too busy and been really tired! But I am getting better at atleast walking to something. But I really really really want to get in shape. I just wish I didnt have to work till 6pm 5 days a week cause it is hard to get everything I need to done and dinner cooked PLUS work out all before I run out of energy. But I am making it public that I will put more effort into it and get back in routine! :)
I will post some pictures in the next week of our latest adventures! :)
