moved

Finals are done, our grades are fridge-worthy, and we are moved into our new apartment in Texas! Next task- keeping myself entertained for four months.

Smorgasbord

Just finished:
It was really good. Guess that's why it's a classic. I'm glad I wasn't forced to read it in high school, though. Don't think I would have appreciated it. I don't like being told what to do. (what am I, 5? maybe)
Up next:


New subject. I hate packing. Especially when it is soo beautiful outside. I think it's the first time I've really experienced Spring, and I love it! Too bad we're leaving it to go to 200 degree weather and 500% humidity. Actually, I'm pretty excited about Texas. A lot of Jacob's friends and their wives are going and living in the same apartments. It will just be one big party all summer long... I hope.

What really matters

Hi. We're moving to Texas for the summer, so Jacob can sell pest control with his bros (stop judging him). A few days ago, we made a game plan for when we're in Arizona. See, it's really important that we eat at all the amazing food that only Arizona can offer before we leave it all summer. So far we have:

-Gecko Grill, obviously
-Joe's BBQ/Farm Grill
-In-n-Out (There is one in Provo, but we refuse to wait in a 3 hour line for a burger)

I think there were a few more. Is there anywhere else we must eat before we go???

sums it up.

I like you!" -Up

Easter

On Easter morning, Jacob got an empty basket and a note from the Easter Bunny. It said:
"Dear Jacob,
Sorry that your basket is empty. I was in a pretty big hurry this year so you'll have to find treats to fill it with. Don't worry! I left clues to help you find them.
Love, The Easter Bunny"
Wow, that bunny is pretty sneaky. It sent Jacob on the coolest scavenger hunt ever! Here he is mulling over one of the clues. They were all song lyrics..even sneakier.

Here he is after finding all of his treats:
He likes pancakes and I don't. He always asks for "spray pancakes" which I don't think exist, so I figured Shake n Pour was the next best thing.

The Easter Bunny also left me some surprises (they were in a cute basket, but we already transferred them to the treat bowl). Hmm.. must want me to gain 24 lbs.
"You're making a Bethany face. " -Jacob

Also in my basket...

I love movies and pickles. The end.

Tricked. After all the excitement, we went to Clay's for waffles and conference. Later, we went to Jacob's aunt's house for Easter dinner and I got to meet his grandparents that just got home from their mission. That was cool and only a tiny bit awkward. The end for real this time.

Eggy McEggington

Last night we had a few friends over for dinner and Easter egg dyeing. Everyone brought something for the dinner and it was delish. Then, it was time for the dyeing. I love any activity that is a holiday tradition, especially those that involve creativity. I was a bit rusty at first, but soon recuperated my skills.
I also love watching boys do things that require creativity. Jacob, for example, thought it would be a great idea to throw his egg in hot pink dye for a minute then throw it into the green dye, even though I warned him it would turn vomit-color.
Our party was cut short so the boys could go to a last minute training meeting for summer sales. Brittany and I were not interested in attending that, so we stayed at the apt. It's nice to get to talk to a girl sometimes. It's been a while since I've had a conversation with anyone besides Jacob. How sad. Girl night anyone??

p.s. I do love talking to the husband, it's just good to have variety.
