April Showers and Lack of Flowers

So, turns out April=winter in Rexburg. woot.
But that hasn't stopped us from running around seemingly nonstop.  Seems like there is so much to do in preparation for moving in a few weeks, especially when you're moving to a different state.  I've also been helping to train a replacement for my co-worker who just had her last day this Friday and I start training my replacement in 2 weeks.  The result is an exhausted and frazzled Michelle at the end of the day.  

 One day I got home from work just in time to go visiting teaching and when I got home from our visit, Kevin had made a candlelit dinner for me.  He made pancakes, hash-browns and fried eggs.  (He hates breakfast so we never make it but it is my absolute favorite type of food so he made it just for me, and made is favorite standby for himself, pasta with red sauce.)

 On Saturday Kevin slipped out of bed while I slept in and made me breakfast in bed.  Goodnight, he is so good to me.


I've recently really gotten into sewing/quilting. (in my spare time, ha) My co-worker is expecting the middle of May and I made this blanket for her.  The star is all hand-stitched, which takes a bit of time so I found a new Disney show to watch on Netflix, "Sonny with a Chance."  Disney is absolutely my guilty (or not so guilty) pleasure.  I know it's corny but I love that it's "good clean fun", and corny is the perfect humor for me growing up in my family, such hams. 

We had a sewing machine fiasco right at the end and of course it was late at night the day before the shower.  So Kevin borrowed a machine from my friend Jamie in our ward and did all the machine stitching for me.  He's pretty good, no?

It seems like we were driving down to Utah every other weekend this month, but every event we attended was worth it.

Our good friend Drew, who served in Hungary with Kevin and I, (he was companions with Kevin and we were all in a district together in Budapest) got married in American Fork at the beginning of the month.  We are so excited for Drew and Tiffany. Drew is a great friend to both of us, and especially Kevin, (he was the best man at our wedding and grew out a mustache just for Kevin) he is an incredible and faithful person, he's a wonderful example to us.

All in all we had such a crazy wonderful month.  We are so so so excited for it to be May, we can finally start the adoption process officially this month and we can hardly wait.
