4 posts in 1 month?!?! I haven't done that since last year...must be a March thing.
Really though what's going on? I haven't dished much and since I know you're all starving for details---here's a run-down of the madness:
January: We went down to Utah for my mother in law's 70th birthday and for a friend's wedding in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Momma Maryann got an..........................................i-pad! say what?!?! April and Jared are wonderful together and one of my favorite things was how the beading/embroidery on her dress was like the same design as the stars embossed in the glass of the temple and the windows---so twinkly and heavenly. Anyway, so we came home the day term started. Both of us registered for part time credits--which as you know became 'part' part time credits for me as the semester progressed. Basically, I'm sick of school...moving on.
Pecan was in heat nearly the entire month so we took them in to be spayed...traumatic experience for all of us. Germaphobe + farmer/veterinarian + two frightened kitteh's = a really worried and grossed out momma kickin herself for not taking action when she got a bad feeling and a hunch that her babies were in the wrong place AND Cookie Monster pulling a masterful Houdini stunt. Not long after, both kitteh's got infections and we took them to a different veterinarian whom I felt more comfortable with and made them all better!
February brought the passing of a father figure in my life---Brother Alain Budge. His wife and children were so blessed by him and I know he's still taking care of them. He worked BYU-I Security and gave me a great job as a guard at the library the semester I met Clint. Every time I see one of the security SUV's he drove around, I miss him and want to cry.
Somewhere in the mess of school and tears, we got our taxes done-yay! ♥ Turbotax! Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring---which has mostly come true. This year's transition from winter to spring is definitely the best I ever remember here in Rexburg thus far.
Now March is nearly over and so is school! Just 3 more days of classes and then finals and then FREEDOM! At least for me...from school...I still have to get a job...and a second car maybe. Some exciting things this month-we finally replaced our blender---it's a touchscreen believe it or not. Clint got his dream computer--a 17" Macbook Pro...brand new and fancy schmancy! My netbook is forever gone...still need to 'bury' ol' Betsy now that I've officially taken over Tim-puter (my nickname for Clint's special edition white HP notebook).
Last Thursday Clint's grandmother broke her leg and had to have surgery---it went perfectly. She never reacted well to anesthesia though-hallucinated and tried to pull out IV's and wires and whatnot. On Friday she slipped into a coma and she passed away that night. The funeral is this Saturday. It's sad and also a blessing. She left peacefully without suffering...at her age recovering from a broken leg would've been miserable. Her husband passed away 8 years ago and now they've both done their time, they'll be together for eternity!
