I really hate Utah.

So.. let me just vent for a minute. I HATE UTAH!!! It has been so nice and sunny and a bit rainy, and rainy is fine. Its just fine. But then.. this morning. I wake up a little later then usual and think "today is going to be a good day. I am going to get up and go running and actually do something before I go to work" so I get out of bed. I walk into the next room and look out the window. And what do I see? I see disgusting little cold wet white flakes falling from the sky. And its not just a flake here and there. OH no, its a BLIZZARD!!!! I do not care if it will be melted in a day or two, no I don't care at all. That is besides the fact. It is SNOWING outside RIGHT NOW in the MIDDLE of APRIL!! So. If anyone would like to up and leave Utah (or even just Northern Utah) for a warmer and not dumb weathered place, let me know.

Okay. I am done venting. Since the last time I posted I think a bit has gone on. But I really can't remember much of it, like always. We had my mom's surprise 40th birthday party, which was a blast! It was really stressful before, because we had it at the Ogden Senior Center and they were supposed to be there to unlock the doors just before 5. Well.. 5 rolls around. And 5:05.. and I was really freaking out. I was like.. did they get lost? In a car accident? Did they forget? So I called my friend Stacie, who works for the place that rents out that place and I tell her. I think I called her twice.. just to make sure they were coming within a 10 minute period. Yeah, I was a little stressed. Anyway, so we got in and decorated and got the chocolate fountains going. A lot of people showed up and then my family showed up (minus Syd and I because we were setting up. Oh and Aimee because she was in DC) and my mom totally did not expect it at all! It was really stellar. She didn't expect it at all and we got her to bawl and everything.

Brandon also had his birthday! We had his party the night of the Sunday Session of general conference I think. We had some family over and stuff so that was fun. I made his cake and I thought it turned out pretty cool.

Mike and I have been having fun. I took him rock climbing and he didn't like it as much as rock climbing in the gym.. which isn't really rock climbing. Its climbing a wall with holds on it to stay in shape for the real rock climbing during the summer which would be nice if it got here.. But he did good for his first real rock climbing adventure. It scared him to pieces but it was fun. There were these two guys up there and their kids (not together, they didn't have kids together. They were brothers and then each one brought a kid) anyway, the kids were like 3 years old. We hike up to the rock and see them there and I ask if we can climb next to them. They say yeah and one of the boys had curly blond hair and glasses and he was so cute. He came up to me and gave me a little purple flower that he had picked right by where they were climbing. It was soooo adorable. After that I went and set the rope up and we did a bit of climbing. It was fun. After that we headed to Grandma's to see Ali and her kids and also Michelle. It was so fun to have all the family together!! We had a birthday party for grandma and it was fun.

Easter Sunday rolled around. I had to talk that Sunday with my dad in a different ward and my dad gave me the assignment with him on Thursday night while I was at work. Well Thursday night I got home late from work, Friday was my day with Mike and so Saturday I tried to work on my talk. The thing is, is when I work on talks, I think a lot about it and then write it all down when I am done putting it together in my head. So I was thinking I would do that after work. Well I get home from work at like 12:45 because some dumb lady wouldn't leave the store. Plus I had a nice huge headache turning into a migraine. So I figured I would write all my thoughts down Sunday morning. So I wake up Sunday morning and my headache is still there so I go back to sleep until about 10. We have church at 11. So I tell my mom I won't be going to our ward and I am going to stay home and write my talk because I was speaking at 1. Then! Mike texts me and asks if he can come up for Easter and stuff and that made my day! But.. he wanted to come to church with me too and I was thinking.. this talk is going to suck.. should I let him come? Haha. So I tell him yeah and what time and stuff. He comes over, I'm still writing my talk, I finally finish it and I have like 10 minutes maybe 15 and it was supposed to be 20. Well good thing things ran over so my dad was like sit down by such and such time and I got through all my talk stuff and it was like 10 minutes. That was nice. It was an alright talk, I have definitely done better. After church we go up to Grandmas again for a yummy dinner, cards, and an Easter egg hunt for the little kids. I was feeling pretty lazy that day so I didn't play cards much, I just napped on the couch. And I also played with baby Luke. He is the cutest little chunk ever!

I think this blog post is getting pretty long, so I will stop writing. I love you all! Questions, comments, queries, you know what to do.
