Random bits of life lately:

Some of my besties from HS chalked me :) Never gets old. I missed out on an outing and they came by afterwards to share some love. I'm a lucky girl. Who would have thought that after 15 years of being out of High School, I would still be close with so many of the friends I made? Makes me feel bad for the girls that were so focused on having a boyfriend the entire time that they missed out on creating lasting friendships.

Counted {and trimmed}a ridiculous amount of box tops for Cole's school. Having friends in the PTA will do that to ya :) Although to be honest, I did volunteer. I might be a gimp but I can still count!

Have been eating watermelon {and pineapple}like it's going out of style.

Had a really fun barbecue with the Whites on the night before Mother's Day. Everybody was there and even though I'm not feeling great--I like getting my mind off of things and enjoying good company. We ended it in the best way ever. A campfire with s'mores. I have the coolest in-laws.

Had a great day on Sunday. I told Danny I only had 1 request for Mother's Day and that was a Symphony bar with almonds and toffee {lest anyone think that all I eat is watermelon}. The only thing that sounded good for breakfast was a nice big pancake slathered in syrup and that is exactly what I got. Danny was not only teaching Gospel Doctrine class but was also recruited to do singing time in Primary {probably because he's the only guy that will do it} and they wanted all the ladies to be able to go to Relief Society for a special Mother's Day lesson. I wanted so bad to make it to church but I was having really bad pain so I decided to stay home and sleep in. I miss my primary kids. I was released about a month ago but for some reason I still feel like the calling is mine. I hope to be able to go in this Sunday and say goodbye because it's our last week in the ward.

We are moving next Saturday which is sneaking up on us. We'll be moving in with my parents while we keep house hunting. We put it aside for several months because I wasn't feeling up to it and we thought about getting an apartment for a year {there are several reasons we are done with living in this basement apartment} but just couldn't justify the price of a 3 bedroom apartment when we could have a house and a yard for that price! We hope to only be a few months with my parents but the market is absolutely insane right now so we're being realistic about it too. Who knows what will happen. Hopefully we'll have a cute, little starter home to bring this baby home to but only time {and maybe some luck} will tell. After 9 years of marriage you know what sounds fabulous? A garage :)
