Busy bees

In March Stewart and I got the chance to go to California to see all his sisters and grandparents.  Since they are all spread out across the country they don't always get together but we were able to make the trip and see them.  It was a quick trip but definitely worth it and it was tons of fun! We watched Sam play baseball, celebrated his grandpa's early birthday, witness a pretty sweet BBQ fire, hear some great stories about Stewart growing up, and just got to enjoy time with family.  It was so nice to get out of Utah and away from the weather to get some sun!  Oh, we also took advantage of Jack in the Box since Utah is too good to have any here.

My mom came down for her spring break and while she was hear we threw Marissa a bridal shower.  I decided that since most of the people going to the bridal shower can't make it to Hawaii, we would bring Hawaii to them!

We started with some Kalua pork sliders, pina coladas, fresh fruit with coconut dip, yummy brownies, and hawaii BBQ chips.  It turned out so good!

We then played pin the 'stache on Javier.  I made Marissa go last because we did it a little different for her...

 Before the party, Javier wrote out a letter to Marissa explaining how they met and his feelings for her.  I put one sentence on a piece of paper and had each person read a section of his letter to her.  I think that turned out well, she cried.

Presents were of course next and she got some pretty scandalous gifts, some soothing gifts, and some great stuff she can use while she is barefoot pregnant in the kitchen one day.

It was great to have my mom here to see her and spend time with her.  She got a condo up in Midway that she and my grandparents stayed at for a couple days.  Stewart and I joined them one night and go out to some delicious dinner at a little diner.

Conference weekend was pretty busy because Stewart and I were moving out of our apartment.  We moved into my grandparents' that weekend.  We are staying here for a couple weeks because we had to get out of our apartment early because someone was taking over our contract and needed in early.  We are still deciding where exactly we want to go but should have a place set up for sometime after Hawaii.

We are just finishing up the semester and I am so excited to be done with classes!!! I start my internship the Monday we get back from Hawaii.  I am slightly nervous but I am so excited.  I was told by my teacher that I shouldn't do it at this location because it isn't organized as the best TR program.  But after praying about it and really thinking if I was supposed to do it there, I decided that the girls at the hospital need me.  I have had a lot of experiences that have validated that decision.
