What a fun week! We celebrated Cinco de Mayo on Tuesday at work. I brought some chips and salsa. Thursday, I went to the fabric store with Maria and Kristin and they picked out fabric for me to make face masks for them and their families. I sewed those in the evening before Paul and I went for a walk and found a very pretty tree and lighted path. I also made some brownies to take to the Roberts for Mother's Day.

Friday we drove down to St George but stopped by Mike and Wendy's on the way down. We had lunch and I finished embellishing my Halloween quilt. I enjoyed showing it off and we gathered for Mother's Day fun. Hannah made a delicious Strawberry pie for Elaine. We got to St. George at 11:30 and pretty much went straight to bed when we got there. Saturday we played tennis, pickle ball, basketball, ultimate frisbee, went swimming and had a barbecue. Paul got a black eye playing basketball but he likes looking like a tough guy. 

Sunday we took family pictures at the park. We got a picture with everyone and then did pictures of individual families and a siblings shot. Everyone looked stunning. We got home and did a little home church. Thanks to Dad for preparing a lesson for us. Afterwards, Eliza and I made sliders for lunch. We cleaned up and headed to the park for some frisbee, basketball, and pickle ball. We played catch phrase for some last minute fun before we headed back to Logan. 

We stopped by Mike and Wendy's again on the way home just for a half hour. Wendy was so cute and got me a walking foot to do my own binding in Logan. After checking in, we drove the rest of the way to Logan and went straight to bed. We were exhausted after an action packed weekend.

Love you all!

 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...
