February 10-16, 2020







The beginning of the week was good. Lots of work for both of us. We finally took down the Christmas tree at work and took a group picture in the tree bag.


Thursday was my birthday and we started it out with the gifts I bought for myself a month ago  then went out for waffles. Paul made a surprise dinner reservation for us but we switched it to Saturday so we could go to dinner at Maddox with Mike and Wendy. They were so sweet to come up! Wendy finished making the Valentine's day quilt we worked on together and wanted to bring it up for my birthday! It was more work than I was anticipating and Wendy put her heart and soul into it. It is huge! And just as detailed and fun as the one she gave us for Christmas. 


Friday we found out that Paul was accepted into Texas A&M and Baylor!!! They only had five open spots at Baylor and Paul got one of them! We are so excited! 


It was also Valentine's day and I gave Paul a little dinosaur in a mug that says, "you are dino-mite!" And then I went to work and came home to a princess bear, a baby Yoda poster, beautiful roses, and a sweet note  we then went to dinner at Olive Garden because I got a coupon for a free appetizer. Paul got us on the list online and we only had to wait 5 minutes to get a table! My coworker, Kristin, was there with her husband and they were still waiting for a table when we left! It was so busy. Then we went up to campus and did a little double date with Adam and Sanora. We went to the USU women's gymnastics meet. It was really cool! 

Saturday we went swimming for an hour before helping my coworker, Alison, move into her new house. We could only stay a couple of hours but we got a ton of her furniture loaded up. Paul then went to work and I cleaned our much neglected apartment. After work, we went to Kabuki and had dinner and a show! They cooked it in front of us and it was so fun! The food was really delicious too!

Sunday was chill. We went to stake conference and then for a walk. 

Happy birthday to Brianna! Also, thank you Brianna, Grandma Terry, Wendy, Paul, Aunt Kristin, and Grandpa Reed for the thoughtful gifts ️

Love you all!


Adam  was called down during the game to do an activity during one of the breaks.

 This week was good. I was able to mail mom's stockings on Monday then start on Peter's. I finished his by the end of the week, so that was good. They turned out so cute and tiny! My coworker, Liz, told me about this overstock store that has all these Christmas trees and how she got a $150 one for $30 and I was like..heck yeah! I am totally going to check it out. Paul humored me and we went together on Thursday. It was kind of gross and disorganized and there weren't a lot of personnel around but we did find a tree that was originally $260 and we got it for $50! It was totally unopened and I love it! Paul found it too, I'm so glad he was willing to come with me. The weekend I sewed a ton and got started on Wendy's order and made some Thanksgiving napkins. Paul worked hard in lab and got to start his own project! It is very exciting and he is learning a lot. We love you all!

  This week was a good week! Paul had a good week of classes and I got a job! I was applying all week and heard back from a law firm I had called a couple weeks ago. They emailed me on Thursday, we set up an interview for Friday, they hired me Friday and my first day is tomorrow! I will be a practice assistant for the firm. They specialize in patent and trademark law and they are only a 5 minute drive from our apartment! I am very excited for this opportunity! It will be similar to what I have done for work in the past but I'm sure there will be plenty of new things as well. Saturday, we went to the mall to get me more office clothes and just walked around in the nice air conditioning. It was a fun celebration of getting a job that is better than what we were looking for. We hope you all are well. Love you!

This week was good. It was the first week of classes for Paul's last semester at USU. yay! Almost done!  Paul liked all his classes except one from this past week. He found another one he can take instead and is ready for the rest of the semester! For some reason I've been having headaches this week. They got so bad that I just stayed in bed on Wednesday (besides the 8 hours I worked). It was helpful because I did not have a headache on Thursday! Paul was really sweet and took care of cleaning and cooking this week so I didn't have to worry about it.  This weekend we watched Dallas play Denver in basketball. Saturday we watched Dallas play the Lakers. We just stayed in because it snowed a ton and made the roads crazy. Saturday morning was clear though, so we went to the pool and did some laps there for some low impact exercise. I had a lot of fun and hope we keep it up for the semester. Swimming is a lot harder than I remember as a kid! But I'm psyched.  Sunday the road...
