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!

That is so cute to hear about Brooklynn following you around when you call! Good luck with your interview, I'm sure it will go well. So, your going to have to post about what Jeff doesn't like in each of the those occupations you talked about....I'm curious now :)
