Winter Fun

Below...Today, March 10th is my brother Peter's 13th birthday! Happy Birthday Peter! Here we are in Door County, Wisconsin last summer. Peter is such a great brother and has a great sense of humor. Lately, we've celebrated lots of our family members birthdays (father-in-law Mike, brother-in-law Jeremy, sister-in-laws Keyana and Karissa, my sister-in-law Carrie, brother Joe, nephews Hunter and Sawyer, neice Kayla.) Sooo many birthdays!

Because our husbands are both mechanical engineering students, and because they are so dedicated to studying, Kelsey, Jared, and I get to see each other often. Kelsey and Ken literally live across the street, which has been a huge blessing. Vance always makes lots of time for us, but when he is busy studying, Kelsey and I are good buds. Here we are at a basketball game recently. We got there an hour and a half before the game to get seats, but as you can see by the empty seats behind us, we could have come a little later! Jared is really growing. He is a delight to be with, is "talking" a lot, and growing fast too!

I have been WAITING AND WAITING for a good snowfall here to go sledding. Finally, there was maybe 1/2 inch on the ground. We went to a nearby hill and went sledding for 15 minutes because it was so late at night and so coldThere was so little snow that anywhere you stepped or sledded on was just grass. How funny! Here we are with our awesome sled.

Vance and I had a fun date on February 13th, the night before Valentine's Day. He got me a gorgeous bouquet of roses...on his way back from a trip from St. George. I was sooo surprised.

We are deciding where we are going to graduate schools this fall. We have heard from most schools, but still waiting to hear back from two more. We'll keep you updated!
