April Fun

April was a fun month with lots of things happening. The semester ended well and to celebrate the boys went camping down in Moab over Easter weekend. I wasn't able to go because I had to work but they had a blast. Because they missed Easter I decided to celebrate the Monday after. David, Melissa, and Peter came over to color eggs. They also decided to hollow out eggs then fill them with chocolate. It worked pretty well with lots of different techniques.

Later that week was Gregg's birthday. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner and cake, he decided on Costco pizza and his favorite, pear cake. I'm lame and totally forgot to have him blow out candles, but I did decorate with ballons. Next year I'll make candles top of the list.

The next day was our anniversary. It is crazy that has been a year! It went by so fast and I have to say that this first year is an excellent predictor for the rest of eternity. Gregg is the sweetest guy and so thoughtful. He makes life so easy and fun. I couldn't have picked a better one. Since we both worked during the day, we went out to eat that night, thanks to the gift card mom and dad got Gregg for his birthday. Gregg bought me gorgeous flowers (which still smell so good) and a pearl necklace. The chain he got when he bought my ring and the pearl was given to him on his mission from an elderly couple who got it from the Cook Islands. It is hand fished from the ocean and it is so pretty. Like I said he is the best!

I know the ballons look lame but most of them had fallen down by the time I got around to taking a picture.
