Chuggin along...

Well I thought I should follow up with my last post. Our Valentine's Day was a little disappointing--even tho there wasn't much to expect. We went to dinner with some friends, but we still waited an hour with a reservation. Brooklynn was being difficult--she wanted to be held the whole time. I didn't mind that because I am used to it, but it didn't feel like a date at all! I decided we are never going out to dinner on Valentine's Day again! We will have a nice date at home! lol. It is too crazy going out in all that madness. However, our Anniversary was nice. (We celebrated 3 years on the 17th!). My friend, Anita, babysat for us, so we got to go on a real date! We went to Ruby River for dinner, which was ok. We didn't know how to be alone together tho haha. Has anyone else run into that problem? It was like Brooklynn has been acting as a buffer, and with her gone, we had nothing to talk about! Don't get me wrong tho--we still had a fun time, and I was excited to be on a date with him after so long. He's so cute! After dinner, he took me to Confessions of a Shopaholic! I couldn't believe it! I offered to let him see Taken, but he said we could see Shopaholic, which is my new favorite movie! I haven't laughed so hard at a movie since Get Smart. Jeff actually enjoyed it himself. He is so sweet to me!
In other news...I am interviewing on Thursday at BYU for Grad School...I am terrified out of my mind! This is like the most important interview of my life so far...I'm freaking out! I have to meet with a panel of teachers, which that in itself is scary. Then I have to write a response to a question about the field. I have been reviewing my textbooks, but here's to hoping for the best! I just really want to go to BYU so we don't have to move, and because I loved it there! But I know it is in the Lord's hands!
Poor Jeff has been trying to figure out what to do with his life. He is sick of his current job. He plans to go back to school after I finish, if not before. He is dying to move on, but he doesn't know what to move on to. He's considered Accounting, Dental Hygiene, Nursing, Architecture, and Construction Management. But he has found something he dislikes about all of those. If any of you have some suggestions, feel free to pitch in.
Brooklynn is literally all over the place. It's kinda fun because I'll tell her to folllow me, and she does. She is very good at entertaining herself--I just wish it didn't always involve tearing apart the house! haha. She is getting so close to walking. She will use my arm or something to push herself onto her feet, then just stand there for several seconds without holding on to anything. It's awesome! And she's just such a goofball. I love all her noises. I love everything about her, let's be honest. I'll try to post some new pictures sometime in the near future!

Wedding Pics!

My Best Friend's Wedding!

My best friend, Anita, got married on Friday. It was a wonderful day! The ceremony was inspiring. Their love and happiness was even more inspiring! They were just glowing with joy! I was so grateful to be a part of that special day. It was wonderful to be reminded of that exciting "newlywed love." I just love her so much, and I was so happy that the day turned out perfectly for her. It was raining that morning and evening, but stopped long enough for their pictures at the temple. The reception was gorgeous and fun. They had dancing...I got one dance out of Jeff, and he complained the whole time about how much he hates dancing! That was a little depressing. I was hoping he could not hate dancing while he was dancing with me, but what can you do. As a humorous twist, Dean (Anita's husband) lost his suitcase, so they couldn't make as quick a getaway as they hoped. It was really funny.
In other news...Brooklynn is officially mobile! She started crawling and pulling herself up on anything she can get her hands on in the same week! She sure keeps us busy now! And she is so loud!! Church is embarrassing cause she makes so much noise. (Usu. happy noise) And as a pleasant surprise, she has started sleeping through the night! She sleeps from about 10 to 8 or 9! It is wonderful! The downside is, she doesn't nap so much and puts up a big fuss when we try to lay her down for naps. But I think it is worth sleeping through the night! Maybe my body can get back on a normal schedule!
Jeff and I realized that we are a really boring couple. We sold our TV saturday and bought a new one yesterday. So in the two days we did not have a TV, we did not know what to do! We tried playing cards, but that lasted 10 minutes. We just sat there wallowing in our lameness! haha. And to make matters worse...I asked Jeff what our plans for Valentine's day are since it will probably be our Anniversary celebration as well, and he said he didn't know I wanted to do anything! And he kept asking why he had to plan it! Men...I swear...they need help!
Well, I must go change a stinky diaper now...yay!
