March 2011

Another busy month that flew by.  I was busy again at work this month, working 4-5 shifts a week at the hospital.  Taking advantage of the Snowbirds while they are hear.  The hospital will slow way down in the next month so I'm racking in the cash while I am able. 

We celebrated mudder's 50th birthday this month. Sadly dad was in Texas so Aaron and I had mudder, squid, damon, and mudder's twin sister Kathy over for yummy chicken philly sandwiches and lemon cupcakes.  The weahter this past month in Mesa has been absolutely amazing so we enjoyed throwing the frisbie after food and relaxing a bit. 

For Spring break this year we went to Utah.  Aaron's grandfather passed away and we were able to fly up to Utah to attend his funeral and visit family. I quickly fell in love with Granny and Grandpa Rucker after Aaron and I got married and in the past 4 months they have both passed on. They were wonderful people and left quite the legacy.  We were able to visit some of our favorite hotspots in Provo including J-Dawgs and Coneys. We loved seeing Bruce, Marcy, Ben, Vanessa, Ryan, and Nate.  We missed Syd and the Jon and Lis family though.  Hopefully we'll be able to get the entire family together soon though for Ryan's missionary farewell...hopefully.

Had to show off our latest home improvement projects. Aaron made our shed this past  month.  It turned out great and has plenty of space for our yard gadgets and storage.  Finally we have space in our garage for cars!  Imagine that. I was able to get my drapes hung for the family room.  I made them several months ago, but just barely got them hung with some nice tie back tassels.  We love adding to house and doing projects.

Aaron's been playing in an ice hockey league all winter.  His team did amazing during the playoffs and made it to the championship game, and then they won it!  Aaron absolutely loves playing ice hockey and loves to win so it's always fun to go watch him.

I am 27 weeks along today am now getting the "are you expecting questions."  I even had to go get a couple more scrub tops which wasn't fun for me.  We are pretty confident with our name choice, haven't put a middle name with it yet though.  We are most likely going to name him Grant.  We got the crib this month too, which was really exciting.  I hate that Aaron and I have such expensive taste.  We both loved this crib off of pottery barn kids, but it cost $1,000.  yeah right.  anyway we found this girl in scottsdale that was selling the exact crib for $600.  she used it for only 1 kid and was selling it. We went and she sold us the crib, the cute little rocking chair, and a nice floor lamp for $440.  We were so excited about the price and snatched it up. Now we can start putting my overtime money into decorating and putting the room together.
