 This week was really fun! Monday was President's Day so Paul and I did not have to go to school or work, which was awesome. We had a chill day and went to the movies in the afternoon. We saw 1917, the WWI movie that won a few Oscars this year. Paul and I really liked it! There are not a lot of WWI movies. This one was really tastefully done though. I would totally recommend it!


Tuesday, I walked into work to my coworkers singing happy birthday to me. I was like...You guys already sang to me last week! But I get to my desk and there is a big present sitting there. They got me a stand mixer! It was so nice! As soon as I got home I opened it and made Whitney's sweet milk bread recipe! It made a couple loaves, so I took one to work on Wednesday to say thank you to the ladies for getting the mixer for me.


Friday I was so tired after a long 4 day work week that Paul and I just stayed in and watched movies. I showed Paul "That Darn Cat." Which is an old Disney movie we watched growing up. He really liked it! and I remembered how much I liked it! It is a good throwback.

Saturday we had waffles and cleaned. Paul wanted to finish taxes, which we thought would just take a second but ended up taking a while...and a lot of our sanity...So by the time we were done with that, the pool was closed so we couldn't go swimming. And Paul decided that was enough work for the day, so he got his Saturday shift covered and we drove down to Salt Lake in the afternoon. We went to dinner with Paul's parents before heading to their ward activity. Andy and Emily participated in the talent show and both did awesome! Wendy and I did a little sewing before heading over to my parents house for the night. We talked with Jacob and Brianna until about 10:30 then went to bed.
Sunday I helped Mom put together a caprese appetizer before getting ready for church. Amelia did a great job on her talk! We're happy to have her home and glad she had a good experience serving in Argentina. After church we visited with cousins and friends. Grazia and Pedro stayed later and made fried rice for us for dinner. They are so lovely and the food was delicious! Also, thank you to Amelia, Eliza, and Mom for your thoughtful gifts for my birthday. Love you guys! Paul and I stayed a little later to meet Bennett, Eliza's "friend". We played jackbox.tv games downstairs before heading back to Logan.

Hope you all had a good week as well. Love you!

 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...
