It’s Almost April!

It’s been so long!I’ve been meaning to write but you know how life catches up with you sometimes. Also we didn’t have really anything slightly exciting happening for a while. But I’ll give an update!

We have been slowly pushing towards the end of the semester, and in some ways we can’t hardly believe that it will be over next week! I’m starting to get really nervous about change, graduating next Semester and moving on! We have loved this ward so much and all the friends we have made and I am not looking forward to having to get outside my comfort zone, yet again to make friends. I know it is too soon to be worried about, but I’m sure that next semester will go just as fast as this one did, if not faster.

This semester has been hard for us with so much stuff going on, so we are going to be very glad when it is over. I try to not think and dwell on the change that is awaiting us, not so far away. But I do not like moving… I’ve moved a few times in my life, and for those of you who know me well, know that I really don’t like it. I guess there is something I need to learn from it :( We’re probably going to be moving around a good amount in the next 10 years… or the rest of our  life. anyways… moving on…..

Other than doing homework… A lot, we have started to get back into the social life :) There have been some Relief Society activities that I have enjoyed going to, and this last weekend we had another girls night! here are some pictures: (yes when you get married, you can act very crazy too :)

We took a picture of everyone’s rings :)

I took a video of Kim sucking in her pregnant belly…. crazy! Oh I just love her :)

Here is Leann being her crazy self

Here is a group picture

a few funny ones :)

and some more pictures with some friends!

 

 

I know…. A lot of pictures. I like to have pictures to capture fun moments! Hans has also been hanging out with the guys a lot more lately!

He plays ping pong with his friend Luke in the ward. He loves it! They went to a ping pong competition this last week, and loved it. He has also been playing racket ball a lot with his friends lately, and he is lovin that too. I don’t have any pictures of his stuff, because being a guy, he doesn’t take pictures too much of his guy stuff.

This last Saturday  we went to a party for my MA class at my teachers condo. we played some games and it was fun getting to know people in my class more! Then Hans and I drove to Idaho falls to go shopping, of course we didn’t buy much of anything at the mall, but Hans wanted to get my birthday present at the mall so we went, and it was fun. On Saturday night we went to the lounge with Mat and Daryn and hung out for a little while.

On Sunday I was planning on getting caught up on blogging and some other stuff….. but the day just went a little too fast…. or we took a long Sunday nap, those darn Sunday naps! That night we went and played some games with Mat and Daryn and Kim and Brad, we loved spending time with them. it’s just so fun to get together with other couples and play games… and talk… I just love it!

See what I mean about being sad about leaving? :(

Hans got out his guitar and played some songs the other night

When I was writing on our Calendar I asked Hans to draw some flowers on it…. Haha… I just thought this was a funny video.

The finished product:

It looks nice huh? :)

Last night we also had FHE with Sarah and Jaren, and it was a lot of fun :)

Some other good news is, we have both been doing well in our classes! I was very excited to get 100% on my compentencies for drawing blood. I was so nervous that I would have a hard time drawing blood, but I did it!

There are still more tests that await us…… but we’re getting toward the end. YAY!

Random Thoughts

I'm probably going to ramble so you may not want to read this!

We totally missed the whole daylight savings thing on Sunday… oops! I knew it was on Sunday, and so did Hans but for some reason we thought it was Sunday night! We have church at 9:30 so…. I got up at 8 due to the fact that it takes me about an hour+ to get ready in the morning.

So I’m in the shower at what I thought was 8:05 and Hans was sleeping…. I started thinking about daylight savings and I thought that it would probably be a good idea to check if it had happened the night before. So I told Hans to check, and he said “No, I don’t think it is until tonight.” But i told him to check anyways, and he came in and told me that it was actually 9:10 and church started in 20 minutes. Hmmmm. So we rushed around, and we got to church, right before they started passing the sacrament… phew! Hans told me he was proud of me getting ready in 20 minutes. Hahaha, I was proud of me too!

He said “I don’t know what I would do without you, you always remember everything, daylight savings, fast Sunday..” Haha at least I’m good for something :)

He also always asks me where things are, I tell him that he can find them just as well as I can, and he told me “But you’re better at finding things than I am.”  I just thought that was funny because even though we don’t have kids yet, It reminds me of my mom, because everyone always ask mom where everything is. I guess it’s a mom, wife, woman thing!

We don’t have anything really exciting to report on, but as of yesterday, we have been married for 7 months. Now, I know that isn’t long, but since we haven’t been married a year yet, we like to count the months! I feel like as time goes by, our relationship just keeps getting better. We haven’t really hit huge hurdles and mountains of change yet in our relationship ( like children), but I can say that we are both learning things about marriage (and each other) all the time. I know our relationship will grow to be even better as more time passes. We are so happy together! I know that’s mushy, but I warned you about my blabbering!

I got all the classes I needed to graduate next Semester… YAY! One of those classes I got by a miracle… We prayed so hard for that class so our schooling  plan would work, and we were blessed (funny how one class can change a whole 4 year plan). So I’m going to graduate next Semester with Hans (that is if I pass my classes).

Hans is working diligently towards taking the GMAT to be able to get into his masters program at ISU, and he will hopefully take that by the end of this Semester. Then he will be going to school while I finish my internship, take the CMA exam, and work as a Medical Assistant  and we will be able to continue with our plan!

There are about 3-4 weeks left of the Semester and I’m feeling it, we both are. We can’t wait to be done with this Semester and move on to the next one. We’ll see how these weeks go!

Hectic but Fun Filled weeks!

I haven’t written in forever! But, because it is late on Sunday night and I probably won’t be able to write this week, I’m going to give a quick update from the past 2 weeks. We have been so busy.

The weekend before this one (the last one in March) on Friday there was a Relief Society activity and it was really fun. Everyone brought treats, and games, but we just ended up talking the whole time, but with a big group of newly married girls… would you expect anything different? haha. After the activity was over there was a group of girls (including me) that were still hanging around. We started getting out games, when Daryn said, “Lets all pile in the car and get Horkley’s! (for those of you who don’t understand… Horkley’s is a gas station in Rexburg where you can get huge drinks for super cheap). So we all piled into one car… all 8 of us in a 5 seater, turned on the music and did a horkleys run!

After that adventure, we came back to the lounge and played gestures and what if for the rest of the night! It was so fun to get out and have some fun with the girls, laughing until you pees your pants sort of thing…. you know… stuff you can’t do with boys. A girls night out!

Saturday Hans and I just had some lay around the house alone time… coupled with homework. Sunday we went over to Sarah and Jaren’s to play some games. We played Jenga and captured some good videos…

And… guess who it finally fell down on….. haha

A very sad Hans (nice face)

Here is me taking Jaren’s blood pressure for my class! I took both Sarah and Jarens, I have to get 50 done by the end of this month and I’m only at 25!

During this last week we have just been doing the usual! On Wednesday in my clinical, when we were practicing drawing blood on the hand, and someone stuck me right through the vein! It hurt annoyingly and it looked pretty disgusting because it covered half of my hand. It puffed up and then slowly went down and turned into a nasty bruise. I’m going in to do it again today so i’m just hoping a don’t get a bruise again!

This weekend has been crazy! We hung out with Daryn and matt on Friday and played some games. Then on Saturday we went to the ward cookie social, and had dinner with Scott and Leann that night, and watched Nacho Libre! On Saturday we went and played some games and ate cookies with Kim and Brad and Cynthia and Jon, then we came home and had to stay up really late so I could register for classes… I didn’t get all the ones I needed to graduate… but that’s a different story for another time :) and I need to stop worrying about it.

This week looks like another normal hectic week, so I guess we’ll see what happens :)
