Just checking in!

It's been awhile!  January flew by and February is doing the same thing.  The last few months have kept us busy with life-work, school, and church responsibilities.  Here is a quick updated on some of our happenings that last few months! 



^^ The day after Christmas Shelby's trusty high school care broke down.  For the ^^
last few weeks of Christmas break we shared a care but knew that as soon as school started it would just not be very cost or time effective to continue to have one car between both of us.  We are constantly heading in different directions due to where work vs school is located.  So, meet our new-to-us car!  It is a Honda Civic with a lot of miles on it so it is definitely just our commuter car.  We are just grateful for a car that runs at this point in time!


^^ Sorry if this is too much for you...it is a shoulder.  In January I had some ^^
minor skin surgery to remove some questionable areas of my skin.  It was a very itchy, skin-irritating experience and I was oh so excited to get those stitches out!


^^ Just a blurry selfie of us hanging out. :)^^


^^ Oh and another side-note for our family record.  Shelby's car had just broken down ^^ 
and we were a little stressed about how we were going to make things work with either paying to fix his car or buying a different one...Shelby went to open one of the drawers in his dresser and the handle area came off and as you can see, it is slowly falling apart.  It totally still looks this way too!  And probably will until we can buy a dresser with more quality...Walmart/Target furniture may be a quick fix but is not always the best way to go...


^^ On a happy note, Shelby got a job!  He is working at a place called The Little ^^
Gym teaching classes to elementary school age kids.  It will be a great part-time job while we are finishing up school here and the little girlies in his class already have crushes on him. :)  We decided to celebrate his new job with a little classic Martinelli's Cider.


^^ We have had a really weird end-of-winter with weather in the 50s and 60s. ^^
These tulips seemed like a good touch in hopes that the warm weather would stick around!


^^ We are so blessed to live so close to the Boise LDS temple and have been trying to ^^
take advantage of it as much as we can!!!


^^ My competition dance teams had their first competition over Valentine's ^^
weekend.  They did so great and received 1st place in all of their team dances! I also ended up doing Pro freestyle for the first time in 6 years which was nerve wracking but somehow I survived. :)


^^ Shelby's Valentine's Day gift...reasons why I love him. :)^^


^^ One of my teams-they received an overall award thanks to all of their hard work and practice!^^


^^ My Valentine's day present-a bouquet of Kit-Kats. ^^

We are so excited for what is to come in the next three months.  Vacations, another semester down, and hopefully I will be done with my BSN program!!! Here's to the rest of February and the coming Spring!  Blog to you soon!
