Day by Day

So Hans got a calling in church! He is the 2nd counselor in the Young Men’s presidency! Which means he is over the deacons. If you remember, I am the 2nd counselor in the Young Women’s presidency, and I’m over the beehives! I think that is funny! I’m excited that we are both working with the youth :) and now we get to go to activities together! Which means, mutual tonight, and every other Wednesday too :)

With the Young Women’s presidency being rearranged and all of us being new, we have had a LOT of meetings, and to say we have been busy would be an understatement. Hopefully things will mellow out a little, but in the meantime, I have enjoyed the distraction from my “personal” life.

We went an activity at a gym and got to go rock climbing.

Fear Factor youth activity

Playing on the Kinect with Liz and Dru

Haha. Love it!

We also made some homemade potato chips, and a bloomin onion with Liz and Dru one day :)

Baby Sam’s blessing day!

So things have just been moving right along! We’ve been busy, but not too busy, so that’s good! we are trying to learn to love the stage we are at in our lives right now. We don’t know where things are going from here, but for now, we will just live day by day!

Also, my brother gets back from his mission on APRIL 11th!! We are so excited to be able to see him soon!!! Can’t wait!!!

Valentines Day

So here is a quick update on us!

Last weekend our good friend Liz and Dru had their sweet baby boy! We were able to watch their little boy Jay while they were in the hospital. It was fun to have a 2 year old in a house for a couple of days :)

Ready for dinner!

Reading stories before bed

Making a fort with Hans and jumping on it :)

Playing games!

I just love seeing Hans interact with little kids!

Jay meeting his baby brother for the first time and their family all together.

We love this family!

For valentines day we make our traditional steak dinner at home, and then watched a movie :)

Hans shaped my mashed potatoes into a heart, and I made heart shaped ice cubes!

I love valentines day! It was a good night, and we loved spending time with each other.

Nothing else new for us!

Today we celebrate 3 1/2 years of marriage! We love each other more now than we ever have :)

Weekend!

We are always so glad when the weekend rolls around…. who isn’t?!

I love the extra time I get to spend with my husband and that he gets to sleep in with me and stay in the warm bed :)

On Friday night, we had dinner and played games with Liz and Dru

On Saturday we went to visit the oldest railroad in America! Yeah, it’s in Maryland. Who knew?!

It is a pretty old town, so we did some exploring. The shops were so cool, and it was fun to explore everything!

It was a good weekend, and I guess the Superbowl was on sunday… We don’t care too much about watching the superbowl. But I will admit, it’s pretty cool living in the town of a team that goes to the Superbowl. Although I couldn’t care less about who wins. I honestly don’t know hardly anything about sports teams :)

Last week was a good week! I hope everyone else had a great week.

Dates and Fun!

What have we been up to in the last couple of weeks? Just getting back into the swing of things!

Hans is doing well with work. He has loved being able to go on Saturdays and play sports with some friends in the ward. He always comes home sweaty and really tired, and all he wants to do the rest of the day is sit around :)

I have started some online classes, right now I’m working on a New Testament class which has been really good for me, and I just got a calling in the Young Women’s presidency in our ward! I’m excited for this calling and the new experiences it will bring. It will also keep me busy which is a good thing!

We always love to watch an episode or two of a show at night. Right now we are watching Once Upon a Time-which we love! And,  I think we have started a weekly routine of doing one creative date on the weekend.

Last weekend we made a fort and watched a movie in it. It was way fun!

This weekend we had a really fun skype date with our besties Sarah and Jaren! We made valentines day gingerbread houses :) Making gingerbread houses every year together is a tradition for us, but we skipped it this year, so we decided to make them for valentines day!

How cute are they? Oh, and that’s a mark on the computer screen, not on her teeth. hahaha, sorry Sarah! ;)

We love being able to skype, but seeing this picture just makes me sad that we can’t actually be together! Oh well, thank goodness for technology.

I also got a valentines day package in the mail from my mom! It was such a wonderful surprise.

Hans and I had fun going through all the stuff that was in the package.

 

Valentines Day decorations!

Today we had a good Sunday dinner and we were able to spend time with my Uncle Mike, we had a good time!

I made cupcakes :)

yum!

Liz is due in about a week, can’t believe it!

So life is just moving right along! I need to start getting back on track with taking pictures! I’ve been slacking in the picture department and family blog posting lately! Time to get back on track.
