What? A blog?

You know, writing a blog is relatively overwhelming when it's the first you've written in a month.  I have just been so busy.  As usual.  But I thought I would reiterate in case you forgot.  

Quick recap on what's been happening:  the weekend of Easter, Bryan's cousins Jessica and Courtney and Courtney's boyfriend Myron came to visit from Boise.  We got to have a fun family day that Saturday!  On Easter Sunday my dad's parents got baptized, which was pretty cool.  Oh, and in between all of this we started spring term on March 29th.  I have been working about 34 hours a week and taking 12 credits, so it's been crazy!  I did drop a day of work since the last time I wrote though, which has been relieving.  I am still spread pretty thin but it's nice to have a little more free time!

I love this picture because Kyle is shooting daggers with his eyes directly at me.  I don't know what I did!  Lol

The following weekend, we went to the wedding of a friend of Bryan's.  Bryan and I went up to Portland Friday night and stayed with Kyle and Jenna (and Payton!).  We had a good time, and the wedding was nice!  I'm racking my brain for what we did the next weekend, but I can't think of anything!  OH, on Friday the 16th, Bryan and I went and looked at a church in McMinnville as a possibility for our ceremony.  It was GREAT and is CHEAP (I mean, really.  The price speaks to me), but the church has no center aisle, just two side aisles.  Ever since then I have been trying to get over that.  We don't really have any better options for a church, but I just don't know how I feel about walking down a side aisle.  I guess if that's the worst thing we have to deal with we should be thankful!  That Sunday, my cousin Joy took these engagement photos of us.  They are great and we had so much fun!  Bryan and I love their family, so we were excited to get to go to lunch and spend a few hours with Joy, Brett, and their kiddos.  We plan to take more pictures in a few weeks, so stay tuned!

Just this last weekend, one of my sister Rachel's old roommates threw a baby shower for her.  She is due June 12th, but her doctor is thinking she will most likely deliver mid-May, so we don't have much time left!  We had a good time, and she got a lot of useful stuff!
Swaddling blankets!  I took lots of pictures while she was opening gifts and this was probably the best one...so sorry for the closed eyes!

I think that about wraps it up for now.  Sorry about the lack of photos and general boring-ness of my life, I will try to spice it up for my blog posts!  Which I will also attempt to write more often!

Tomorrow, Kyle, Jenna, and Payton are coming to spend the weekend here!  Actually Bryan and Kyle have a civil war event, so they are coming for that.  Bryan's birthday is Monday, so we are going to celebrate this weekend as well.  He is going to be 23!  So old!  ;)
