Goals accomplished. Dreams made. Bonds strengthened. Lives changed. I sure hope you are ready for a play by play. {here it comes...}
The weekend was first kicked off on thursday, after work I went to Idaho falls to get my hair color redone {got it done previous week, trying to go back to more of my natural hair color but it turned sort of reddish...} so now it is more brownish! Coming home I checked the mail {as I had been doing ever since my interview} No letter but I finally got my NEW SHOES {see previous blog post} I was just soooo thrilled that they FINALLY came! {2 awesome things in the same day!}
Friday, I got up and ready and drove to Idaho Falls again {I can now do that drive in my sleep! zzzzz} to pick up my mom! It's her first time coming out here since we've been married! Had lunch at Red Robin {YUM} then spent the afternoon shopping around {please note that leggings and slippers were left at home! Once again...see previous post}. Of course two nights previous I bought our Hunger Games tickets for the 3:00 showing {so James could come}. So after lunch and shopping we sat in the theater {right smack dab in the middle} until the movie started. The movie was GREAT! I. Loved. It. {obviously not as good as the book, but they did do an excellent job, all things considered} The rest of the evening was spent grocery shopping and then out to eat at our favorite restaurant Da Pineapple Grill where we feasted on delectable sushi!
Saturday, We slept in {stayed up way too late!} My mom and I went out searching for a sewing machine because we were on a mission to complete "PINTEREST PROJECTS"! We found one and bought material for my first project {an adorable camera strap cover...pictures will be shown at the end...} We then met up for lunch with James and his sister Staci at Gator Jacks {it was my first time there and I got the Philly Cheesesteak, and it wasn't half bad!} Then went home to start on our crafts! After James got home from studying for the day, we made an attempt to go out to Mesa Falls and hike around. Nope! We could only make it part way up the mountain before we ran into a HUGE snowbank! {this happened to us last April, you'd think we would learn} But we decided instead to head towards Driggs, Idaho just to look around. We then came home and finished my CAMERA STRAP COVER {i love it} and then tried to make my Easter decorations. This activity was quite interesting. We took regular eggs and poked holes in both ends. We then put our lips over one hole and blew as hard as we could {with gentle hands} until the whole thing came out. {NASTY!} but it had to be done! The eggs were then covered in glue dots and rolled in glitter. They turned out really cute!
Sunday, We went to church {at the singles ward} and then over too our other ward just to drop off tithing, then headed home. After pulling in, I decided to check and see if we had gotten anything in the mail...and we did...it was a letter from College of Southern Idaho. Without sharing that I got the letter, I decided to just open it while I was walking back towards the apartment. Well, long story short, it said that I was accepted into their Dental Hygiene Program for Fall 2012 {I was sooooo excited, I wish we could've gotten a picture of my face when I opened that!}. I just looked over at my mom and she kinda gave me a weird look for a second then said, "You got in, didn't you?!" {woot woot} You better believe we went into the living room and jumped up and down and danced around. James still didn't know yet though. So I left it open on the counter for when he got home. He walks in, looks directly at the letter and then...puts his cell phone and wallet on it...{HE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT!} So all I said was, "you gonna read it?". He too was so excited! SO that is our big news! We will be moving to Twin Falls, Idaho this summer for the fall semester!
Monday, was a sad day. We went to the fabric store and then just hung around at home until it was time to take my mom to the airport... :( It was so much fun having her here to visit!
The First camera strap, made just from cotton fabric
This one is made of minky {super soft!}
This is the "blowing eggs"...nasty!
