April 2011

April has flown by! I really can't believe that it is already May. It seems that time just keeps going faster and faster. We had a lot of fun this last month. Every weekend there was a party going on somewhere and with me starting my new job, it made for an EXTREMELY busy month. Even though things felt a little crazy sometimes, it was still a great April!

This year, my brother celebrated his 27th birthday. We are all so grateful for what he does for our family and Bree and I decided we would treat him to something a little different on his birthday this year. Growing up, our brother really like monkeys and so Bree and I pulled up our sleeves and made a birthday cake that looked like a monkey!

We had so much fun doing it. I never realized all the anxiety that comes with making an out-of-the-ordinary cake! I have a lot more respect now for people who make cakes for their profession.

Throughout the month, we celebrated many things... Birthdays, baby-blessings, Bree's goats being pregnant... And of coarse there was Easter. Every Easter Bree and I have this tradition of watching the 10 Commandments. You know... The one that is 4 hours long! They play it on TV every year and it sure took up a lot of space on our DVR but it brought back memories of watching it every year on Easter growing up.

Easter morning, we woke up and had a little gift exchange.

After church, we had some family over for dinner and an Easter Egg Hunt in our yard.

We had a lot of fun getting together and celebrating the day.

On the 29th came the big day of my college graduation. The ceremony was at 8AM! But once we got there, I started to get more excited about the idea of graduating. I was able to finish my college degree in less than 4 years. It took me a while to find out what I wanted to study and I don't even remember how I decided on my major, but I am so glad that I ended up in education. Though I am not working as a teacher right now, I know that it will we a great field to work in and has benefited me greatly in my current position I hold at the school now.

We arrived at the school bright and early! I was excited to get the whole ordeal over with, but it was a lot more enjoyable than I had anticipated.

This is when we first got to the school.
I laughed so hard when I saw the kreepy face Bree was making in this picture.

Part of why my schooling and graduation were so enjoyable was because I was surrounded by great people and friends.

I'm lucky that I got to graduate with these great girls!

Thanks a million to my family who has supported me throughout my education. I couldn't have done it without you!

As the month ended, we came upon "National Doofus Day" as Bree would call it. Otherwise known as... PROM! After some complicated situations (2 boys asking one girl to the dance) the day finally came and Bree had a great time.

She looked very beautiful for her senior prom!
Can't believe this girl will be graduating in a month!
