Spring Has Arrived!

 I'm hoping if I say it and truly believe it that Rexburg will go along with it.
Plus it's been in the 60's this week and it can stay that way.

Lately Garett and I have been reading fiends. Here's just a taste of what we have been reading.
I'm working on the Saga of Recluce series and Garett has been trying out some new stuff.  

I cut my bangs too short and too much by accident but I think it turned out for the better. 
I actually like them this way. 
What do you think?


This weekend Garett and I went down to Utah to see my family and for his mission reunion.
We watched Rise of the Guardians which we enjoyed thoroughly.
Then spent Saturday afternoon hanging out with my family, enjoying an afternoon walk and the wonderfully warm weather.

Saturday evening we went to the reunion.
Garett served a church mission in the Zimbabwe, Harare Mission.
It covered Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi.
While there he made some awesome friends and I finally got to meet some of them.

This is Nate. I found out he is from Asheville, NC. The best state ever.


Then there is Troy. Garett's son. (That is what they call the missionary they helped train when he is new).
I had met him before, but it is always fun to see them together.


There is Fasi. He is half Samoan, half Jewish which is an awesome mix. 


Here is some of them together.
(There were about 80-100 people there including their mission president Elder Dube and his family)
There was a dinner and a get-to-know-you segment.
It ended up being a blast.
Plus I got to meet Sam's girlfriend who was just wonderful.

From left to right: Nate, someone, Sam, Kenneth, Fasi, Troy, Garett and Chris.
They were a fun bunch.

Oh and Steven spotted Garett while he did a back flip. I was so excited. I hadn't seen Garett do one before.


Sunday my mom made a fantastic Easter dinner which we all got to share.
I got to meet the exchange student from Brazil that my parents are hosting, Flavia.
She was really nice.
In case you forgot who was in my family.
Left to right: Dad, Mom, Aaron, Flavia, Catherine, Jesse, Nikolai, UJ and Garett. 


Now here are some adorable pictures of my sweet nephew, Nikolai.


He loves phones.


So many teeth!


I love this one. 






Look at his dimple. =]


It was a much needed relaxing weekend filled with friends, family, good food and warm weather.


That is all.

Sunshine makes life better.
