Always Money In The Banana Stand.....

I'm a General Conference Baby

What? My Birthday always lands on General Conference Weekend.

Yes, it was my birthday and i turned the big 25, Yes i'm 25. It's really not an amazing age, like 18 or 21 or even 22 it's just another year older. I don't feel old at least. Thank goodness for that. I feel...... well.... accomplished. I've graduated from College, a little later then i wanted, but heck i did it. I'm married to one of the worlds most awesomeist men and i have a job. Not an amazing job but a job non the less. Yay!

Poor Dan, he racked his brain figuring out what he should get me for my Bday. We don't have much, so of course it can't be grand and to honest there really isn't anything that i need at this moment with the budget that we have. Dan did get me a super awesome card that really is...well Dan. It gives example of what men really mean when they say some thing. For example "You look great" really means, "i am horny." It was funny and i loved it. :)

We did go over to Robert and Sally's, Dan's uncle and aunt, for a birthday celebration for me and Nick, Sally's son who's birthday is also in the month of April. It's was fantastic being able to spend it with family. Sally made a fantastic lunch/dinner. She's seriously awesome at making food. I'm getting better.

Also, can i just say Conference was awesome this year! Holland always, ALWAYS out does himself. He's always been a fav of mine when Conference comes.

Also, I got a new phone, Hooray! Well, not really. Last Monday I went home for Lunch and Dan, like every Monday, had lunch ready for me when i walked in the door. I seriously have the best husband. I left my phone at home during the Monday morning rush and i didn't know where it was. To make a long story short, We have/had a vase on our bar counter. I don't remember how this happened but Dan accidentally elbowed the vase and it came crashing to the ground. Remember how i didn't know where my phone was? Well, the vase found it. It came crashing down and it fell right on my phone. Yep yep... that happened. I had a huge ugly crack in it and i could barely use it. It still worked, i just couldn't see anything. So Dan's Mom, Diane, being the nice person that she is, decided to use her phone credit that they give you so you can purchase a new phone and gave it to me instead. Diane is awesome. I love my new phone and I'm so happy to have it. :)

Oh another awesome surprise. Dan and I have been without a working dishwasher since we moved in in Jan. We mentioned it in Feb and they said they'd get someone out to look at it. No one came. We again mentioned it when we got back from Utah. They again said that they would get someone on it. Again, no one came. So when Dan went to pay rent for April he mentioned it again. The girl in the office looked it up and said that we never properly filed anything for them to fix it. Dan was a little frustrated and decided to talked to the real property Manager and low and behold we got this.....


That is right a New Dishwasher... AWESOME!!!!


Oh and I was reading an article the other day and in it they used the word "def" instead of "definitely". I was shocked! I have been using def since... i don't even know. I always say it in my head and in my journal but never out loud because i felt i would be channeling my inner valley girl and i couldn't possible do that. But since it was used in an article I will now be using it in my everyday talk. :) Def love that i can do this now. :) Hooray for Inner Valley Girls :)

Peace :)
