Jace Birthday (This is late- but still worth posting.)

Jace's birthday was Feb 9th. and we made the most of it with our busy day/week. The day started out with us scrambling to get out the door on time like usual and surviving 3 hours of classes. Momma T and Ernie came down from filly to celebrate too. They had his gift sent here and so we opened gifts before we left to eat. I gave him some of his favorite goodies and . . .

he got some very nice new shoes - which he needed - from Momma T and Ernie. He got goodies and cards and money too from the rest of the family. Thanks go out to everyone. We took the birthday boy out to lunch at The Pasta Factory. It was so good. He even got a birthday cheesecake. We decided it would be fun to play glow-in-the-dark mini golf since Momma T and Ernie hadn't been before. We had a blast and it was so fun for all of us to act like kids. Jace of course won and I as usual lost. Ernie took second and Gail was one point lower than me. haha.

After they left Jace was so nice to help me study for my Lab practical I had the next day by being my patient and letting me practice on him. He is a good little actor. I kept laughing and messing up, but he just kept on acting like an old man with shoulder pain, or back pain. We had a fun little evening together.

Our First Valentines Day!

This was our first Valentine's Day together. Last year Jace had eye surgery so we didn't get to really celebrate it, but we are so glad he got his eyes fixed. :) Anyway, our Valentines day was so much fun. We celebrated Saturday and Sunday. Saturday we went and did a session at the temple with our friends Rhett and Natalie. It was so much fun and I am so glad they invited us. Oh, I also made Ebelskeivers for breakfast and boy were they good. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse since it is our favorite. It took about 2 hours to get seated but their Ribs are worth it. We ate about a bucket of peanuts waiting so we got our money's worth. :) We finished off the evening with the movie Love Happens. It was cute. I recommend it to anyone.
Sunday, the official Valentine's Day, Jace slept in and I got up and did my hair all "cute" and also got his card ready and put it on his computer so he could find it. I also heart attacked our kitchen (covered it in Hearts) with little sayings on them. We walked around and read each one and if it said "HUG ME" or "KISS ME" then he gave me a hug or kiss. It was fun. For breakfast I made "I Love You" pancakes with pink milk, not strawberry. It was delicious. Church was good too and everyone talked about love at home. What better to talk about on Valentines Day! When I walked int he door after church, our table was in the middle of the kitchen with a pink sheet covering it, flowers, 2 long stem candles, a Hershey's candy bar and snickers, balloons and strawberry sparkling Juice. I was shocked! My hubby is so cute and sweet. I just love him. We turned on our song Then by Brad Paisley and danced in our kitchen before we blew out the candles. We had a wonderful dinner, played Five Crowns, and watch The Time Travelers Wife. It was the best Valentine's Day Ever!

What We've Been Up Too!

Well, since school has started we haven't been doing very much besides school and studying. I have classes for 5 or 6 hours a day and Jace for 3 hours! I'm lucky though and get Friday's off, which I am so grateful for. We have no time for anything it seems like, but we are still having fun and making some time for the fun stuff and relaxing. We are still trying to get our new apartment organized and complete. Slowly but surely it will happen, even if that is in a couple months or maybe when this semester is over. Things are going good and school is picking up for both of us with 5 tests this week for me and 2 test and Multiple assignments due for Jace. All with his birthday in the middle of it. We are gonna need all the help and prayers we can get to make it through this week! Wish us luck! :)
