Saturday we spent the entire day running endless errands. But we came home with absolutely everything we need to finish setting up and decorating our cute little home and didn't spend a dime. Thank you gift cards!
Saturday night we set all of said stuff up. Everything is pretty much done except for a few minor details. I will do an apartment post soon!
I ate a box of milk duds.
We watched the Blind Side. I was a ball baby. Gets me every. freaking. time.
Sunday we went to our new family ward! So weird to be in a family ward, but we really liked it. There are a lot of young families and couples and everyone was really nice. Plus 9am church makes for time to actually do fun things after church.
I took a 2 hour nap on Sunday! Pretty sure that was my first nap in 7 trillion years. Nathan took one too.
We watched Toy Story 3. That movie makes me cry too. I think I'm a crier..
We drove out to Salem for Sunday dinner with my grandparents, several cousins, my awesome aunt, and Jessi and Marshall. It was so fun to see everyone! And to eat my Nana's cooking. She makes these homemade tortilla strip things that.. I just.. I can't even. I died.
Two pigeons made a little nest on our balcony and laid two little eggs and it's pretty cute they way they take turns sitting on them. Nathan is obsessed and has now learned all there is to learn about pigeons and their eggs. He's my little bird whisperer.
I had my students write in their class journals on Wednesday. One boy wrote this:
"Today I want to write about Mrs. Merkley. She always makes me do my school work even when I don't want to because it is really hard or boring. She says she wants me to do good in school but I think she HATES me!! Just kidding lol. No she doesn't hate me. It is good to have someone support you in school and make you want to do better. I feel like she is looking out for me and I like that."
My heart may have burst and I may have gotten a tiny bit emotional. If you knew this kid, you would too.
We made donuts for FHE! They were delicious. I ate 6. Then I drank diet coke. I don't know why that detail is important, but I feel like you should know.
I ate a lot of Nutella and rationalized that because I felt a little bit sick, it was okay. Marriage is the time to get fat right?
I'm not always fat. Sometimes I eat just asparagus for dinner cos it's freaking delicious. How come all vegetables don't taste like asparagus? And I am not sure I believe the whole pee smelling thing. Although Nathan would beg to differ.
Holy crap you guys have the cutest little life!!!!!!! And I didn't even think about the fact that you guys are going to a family ward!! Cute!!!!! I would squeeze you like a baby kitten if you were here!!!!!
ReplyDeletei can't believe you have eggs on your balconey, i would be obsessed too.
