I love SPRING!

The semester is finally over and we are trying to relax. I start spring classes on tuesday so we don't have much of a break, BUT it's nice to get a few days at least. Today david was sweet enough to take me to the tulip festival at thanksgiving point. It's an annual thing they have each year at these gardens where thousands of tulips and other flowers are planted and blooming. It's GORGEOUS. We wandered around found stroop waffles which I haven't had since my mission. I'm just so happy to be outside and feel the sun again.

one year older and wiser too

I am now 24 years old. I realize how young that may seem to some people, but I indeed feel old. Regardless of my age, I like to think of myself as carefree like I was when I was 15. However now I have lots of responsibilities that get in the way of me having fun. Nonetheless I managed to have a grrrreat birthday. Mom came to visit and introduced us to green smoothies. I think they're delicious and even David is willing to have one every day =) He's not much for vegetables, but when they're disguised in a drink...he's more accepting. We had dinner at PF changs and mom took me shopping for some MUCH needed clothing. (THANK YOU!) It was SOOOO wonderful to see mom again. She's gets more beautiful with age =) I hope my aging follows my mother's.

I found some OLD pictures that made me laugh and want to be a kid again.

and happy birthday to Todd too =)

april fools!!!!!!

I'm sorry I got all of you SOOOO good. Actually I'm not that sorry. I've always wanted to actually trick someone on april fools and it finally worked. Sorry to get your hopes up, but we will ACTUALLY be pregnant eventually and I'll make sure when we inform you it won't be in text message and it won't be on april fools. =)

so since all of you didn't know each other's reactions...i thought i'd share a quite motherly reaction.

From me to mom:

I'm not pregnant, April fools

Mom's response:

I was wondering! Still confused. The NOI part is true?

Me:

No mom, I'm not pregnant, april fools, like the opposite of not pregnant.

Mom:

Whew!! Honey the opposite of pregnant IS pregnant.

Me:

Yes I know. Meaning I am.

Then I called mom because she really wasn't catching on. She screamed and was laughing thinking I really was pregnant. She said "on purpose or accident" and I said on purpose...because I'm actually NOT pregnant. It took a second and she realized she was fooled. Then I laughed because she tried to cover for her saying thank goodness I wasn't pregnant and then trying to make it ok. Oh mother, I knew I'd get you the best.

Mimi screamed, chris believed me easy, jessi and dad didn't fall for it, and I totally got erin and juli's hopes up. And the funniest part to me is...none of david's family believed it, but my family gulped it up =)

I love you all, I laughed really hard this morning enjoying our prank, hope you did too =)

MUAH!
