Change of Plans

No more Tucson. 

No more Arizona.

Derek will be finishing his medical school training at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Eastern Michigan! 

We leave in June and are very, very excited. 

Happy Easter

We enjoyed a beautiful Easter morning at church with a musical sacrament meeting & fabulous speakers. It is also a super bonus that some of my favorite hymns are the ones we sing on or around Easter. After church, we enjoyed a yummy dinner with friends on my cute pink & green Spring table.

Hope everyone had a fantastic and relaxing Easter. This video explains why we celebrate and how everyone can feel close to their Savior this time of year. 

Flat Stanley

We had a visitor come in the mail from sweet Meredith. His name is Flat Stanley. Stanley was flattened by a bulletin board that fell on him at school {don't worry, he wasn't hurt}. Stanley's parents mailed him to California to visit some friends, and Meredith's class needed to mail their Stanley's somewhere. We decided to send him somewhere special in Arizona...here's a sneak peek! 

Top 5: Hunger Games Edition

Okay, okay. So it's been a full week, and I am ready to share my top 5 favorite things about "The Hunger Games". Without further ado...

5.Okay, some people might have hated or not understood this part, but it's the scene I like to call "Cato's Come to Jesus" moment. At the end, when he had poor Peeta by the throat, talking about how all he ever knew and was taught was to be a killer, and he wanted to bring pride to his district. This made him seem a little more human, and realize that the Capitol really was an evil place and he didn't like it.

4. Katniss & Rue's relationship. It was so sweet, pure, & special.
3. ANY scene in the cave.

2. Since I am quoting a movie, excuse my language. "Damn you, Gale!". Yes. I loved this line. And seriously, "Damn you, Gale!". They needed food you jerk. Ugh. Such a little pansy boy. And I loved when the cave scenes were broadcasting and it would show him all pissy. HAHA. Take that.
1. The "braid touch".

The End.

{What was YOUR favorite scene in the movie?}

What's Your District?

Underwater? UNDERWATER?!?!

Ugh. At least I was able to break free of the underworld & go to college in District 7, which is famous for Lumber & Trees. Oh, but I did marry a boy from the Capitol. Say whaat?!

 Okay, so mine was lame...is yours?

{Also, anyone else finding it kinda hilarious that a corners of Nevada, Utah, and Idaho is the Capitol?}

Spring & Easter Decor

{All decor was free except the Spring banner & mini glitter eggs, which cost a total of $9.00. Both found at Target}

It's been Spring here in Arizona for about a month, and soon we will be sneaking into the 90's and welcoming our early and long summer. This past weekend house & apartment hunting in Tucson made us love our tiny apartment we already live in, and realize that it's quite large. Walking into multiple 500-600 square foot apartments made us miss our spacious 800 square feet. Upon coming home, we were welcomed in with cheery and bright Spring decor. Everything was simple, easy, and very low cost to throw together for the most welcomed season. Try a few of these in your own home, and feel free to throw open a window & feel the breeze!
