Today we celebrated:
1) Our first bike ride of the year! After school today it was 50 degrees outside which in Rexburg language is "everyone takes a jog/walk/drive with your windows down/bike ride/break from pants and put on some shorts" kind of day! Dan and i enjoyed riding around the neighborhood racing to the bottom of all the streets. Hoora for spring!
2) Women's Day. ( A national Russian holiday- basically valentines day and mothers day combined.) I found out from a friend about the holiday and then gracefully reminded Dan. So the rest of the day I tried to get Dan to get me flowers and buy me a treat but he just laughed- we still had a nice day together even without the presents :)
3) Three and a half weeks left of the semester! We are counting down. We might be planning a little trip to Las Vegas as soon as we're done. Here comes the sun!
4) The bulk section at Winco. On Saturday night we spent like a half an hour in the bulk section picking out delectable snacks for a home made trail mix. Don't you hate it when the trail mix you buy doesn't have the stuff you want in it, or even worse- when it has stuff you don't want in it? Well- say no more. We built our own mix of deliciousness and payed like five bucks for everything. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for trail mix satisfaction.
5) The sight of grass in our front yard! The snow melted about a foot back from the sidewalk and we can see our lawn! Since we have had 4 feet of snow on the ground since January we are really happy.
And so we drank our cranberry apple sparkling cider and made a toast to ourselves and to all the great things that are happening- what a way to start the week!
This is Daniel's nephew Aiden. Isn't he sweet? We sure think so.

Yay for celebrations! I am glad things are warming up there in the Idaho tundra, nothing like seeing all the college kids in t-shirts and shorts when there is still 3 feet of snow on the ground!
Las Vegas sounds like fun. I am a little jealous... but maybe you can plan a trip down to see your wonderful sisters (and their babies) sometime soon?
I forgot...
Ummmmmm, Aiden is ADORABLE!!!!!
Way to be so positive! I haven't even noticed the nice weather . . . mostly because I have not really left the house except for doctors appts. I hope your right and that spring is on the way!
Oh man that looks like fun. Vegas huh? That will be so exciting! Has Dan ever been? Good luck with the last few weeks of school! Love you-
I love Winco. I wish we had one out here in CO. That's one of the many things I miss from OR. I remember the days that Barry and I could shop there for only $50/mo. and we thought that we had tons of food. That's certainly not the case anymore.
Catty! It sounds like you and Dan have a good time. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your mark. Mitch told me to check this out a while ago and I'm sure glad I did!
