Easter Holiday Happenings!

So here are some of the things we've been up to since the last post;

1. Spring break!
2. Rugby
3. More school
4. Running and the Ab Lab!
5. Puzzle
6. Cookies
7. Cake
8. Maggie Moo's
9. Basketball
10. Elder's Quorum Pinewood Derby (No real rules)

1: Spring break, kind of a crazy break. We went to California for a few days, then up to Bountiful, then down to St. George for a wedding and that was about it. it wore us out and made us want an actual break

2: Rugby, besides missing a couple of games because of injuries and going to a wedding I have been at practice and been playing for the St. George men's team. The season is over for now, but some friendlies and other exhibition games will be played later on during the summer. Plus, I found a team out in Columbus that I can go play with once we are there, it keeps me active and its a great stress reliever, at least for me :-)

3: More school, boring, tiring, and I'm frankly sick of going to school. Most of my classes seem worthless at this point and all I do is sit there. Only a few more weeks and we will finally be done, for a month, then summer school starts. I can't wait to be done!

4: I have been running at the indoor track in the SUU PE Building in the morning. Since I come to campus with Laura and have an hour before I actually have class, it is nice to go for a little run, a little over a mile, and then shower and go to class. It wakes me up and hopefully I can lose some weight before graduation!

5: Laura and I completed a 1500 piece puzzle that we got at the SUU bookstore with the gift certificate she earned by being on the women's week panel a little while ago. It was pretty hard because there were so many pieces, and, because there wasn't a lot of color differences.
6: Cookies, several times over the last few weeks we have made cookies. Chocolate chip cookies from scratch and from a Betty Crocker bag, also, I made my first Peanut Butter cookies ever. They turned out to be a little flat, but they tasted good and our Pyrex bowls with nifty lids that fit perfectly are great cookie jars!

7: Cake! Laura made a yellow cake and frosted it with rainbow frosting stuff. it was really good and it stayed moist for days after she made it. I was so proud that I almost cried.

8: Maggie Moo's. This is the new ice cream place a few blocks from our apartment. It is like Cold Stone Creamery, and it is awesome! We've been there a few times and we like it a lot because the ice cream is really good and the mix ins are great too. We went there last night for our eight month anniversary. I got a cup of cheesecake ice cream with brownies, teddy grams, and caramel mixed in. I was very happy. (By the way, do you say care-a-mel or carmel?)

9: Basketball. Ward basketball continues with the beginning of a double-elimination tournament that we began with a bye week. Since our regular season record was the best, we are the number 1 seed and didn't have to play last week. we did play last night and won by 8. Next week we play at 7:15 and hopefully, we win.

10: Elder's Quorum Pinewood Derby. This is what I really wanted to get to. Last night, before basketball. the elder's quorum of my ward had a pinewood derby with limited rules. the cars had to be under 8 ounces. rules done. One guy come in with a small airplane turbine on the top of his car, and he won the whole thing. I made a very BYU car and didn't do so well, I won worst design because of how BYU my car was. I thought it was fun. I am putting a bunch of videos that I took especially for this because it was just funny to me how much time some of these guys spent on their cars. the track was really nice, made out of metal and had an electronic timing system and bracket generator. Enjoy the videos!
