Chronicles of a busy household......

Well, here it is April and it's been a while since I've posted. March was a busy, but fun month. First off, I'll answer the question I've been getting quite a lot lately. Nope, not pregnant. For some reason it didn't take in March, but as I keep telling Alan, my birthday is coming up and I can't think of a better present! We have another appointment this week to see where I'm at and when we can do another insemination. So, we'll just keep plugging along and see where it gets us. On a plus note, not being pregnant has really motivated me. Forever ago I posted about starting to work out and eat better. Well, that was in February and well, nothing had really changed (yeah motivation!) Our gym membership had come up for renewal and we decided to cancel it as the one we were going to (sporadically) was closing down. Once I found out I wasn't preggers, I decided to join Lady Fitness and go to morning classes with my very awesome sister-in-laws. Although I didn't make it every day this past week (yes Tara, I am officially a slacker!) it felt so good to go on the days that I did go. I also forgot how hard that first week is......extremely tired (I have to be up between 4:30-4:45am to get to class by 5:20) and so freakin' sore it looks like you have a stick up your bum when you walk. But, other than that, I'm ready for a new week. Add on top of that weight-watchers, and hey, it equals out to some fun times! The gym is a lady only gym, so while I miss working out with Alan, it has been so much fun to catch up with Tara & Misty and have some fun friends to work out with.

Alan had the opportunity to fly out to Sacramento last week and help a friend ordain his son a deacon. The friend is the only LDS member in his family, so he was kind of nervous about the ordination and asked Alan if he would come out to help. Alan went by himself, so while I missed him like crazy, he was doing a good thing. He was able to catch up with his family and see some good friends again while I worked and spent some quality time with my mom and little sister. I'm really glad he was able to go out and help, but even more glad when I was able to go to the airport on Monday and pick him up. While Alan was on his way to Sacramento, his brother and cute family were on their way out here to Utah. Our sister-in-law is originally from Utah, so while they were out here (after Alan had gotten home) we were able to go to dinner with them and their adorable kids. Do I have any pictures to post? Um, no. Me, who usually always carries the camera completely forgot it. So, although there aren't pictures, we did have a great time with Kenton & Bree and it was fun to see you guys again. Hopefully next time we see you it can be for a little longer! Hope your trip back wasn't too bad and you didn't run into too much snow.

Last night we were able to go to Alan's mission reunion and I was able to meet his very cute Mission President and his wife. To be honest I was kind of bored, but it was fun to see Alan light up when he saw people he hasn't seen in ten years. Yep, ten years, my baby is getting old (and so am I!) I was able to meet some companions and a second cousin, so it was worth it. There are actually a lot of old mission friends who have made their way back to Utah to live, so hopefully Alan can stay in touch with them better and see them more often. Again, I forgot my camera which I really regret because it would have been nice to get a picture with Alan & Pres. & Sister Jones. Hopefully they'll be another reunion so I can do so.

On a final note (because this post isn't big enough already) with the end of March comes the end of the beloved moustache. In a previous post I explained how March was the moustache month and Alan and a bunch of friends all took the pledge and didn't shave for a whole looooooonnnnnggggg month! The very last day of the month I went to Alan's work with a friend so we could get a picture of all the guys rocking their staches. Hooray, a picture! But, we have to get a card reader as the dog chewed the cord that uploads the pictures. So, until then, you'll have to be content with the following picture that was courtesy of Uncle Rob:

Thanks Rob! When I saw this I started laughing so hard! Unfortunately for Alan, his stach wasn't quite as good as this, but it was close! Hope everyone has a wonderful conference weekend! Enjoy!
