i hate being sick.

okay, okay. i know most of you have completely given up on me in the blogging department. however, im super sick and im stuck here in my room for the second day in a row. and honestly, i am bored out of my mind! ive cleaned my room and done my laundry (all the while drugging myself and rubbing my nose raw with tissue after tissue), and i basically ran out of things to do. i keep meaning to update my blog, but there are always other things that take priority. so without further ado, here is a brief overview picture-style of everything that has happened in the past 2 months.
Brad got me Seasons 4-7 of gilmore girls and a wii fit for christmas! I felt very spoiled :).
I went with Mom and Dad to Texas over the break. Brad finally got to meet (most of) the rest of the family. Dan and Bethanne took us to an authentic Spanish restaurant. It was amazing!The kids were a blast. I really miss them all!I got my first speeding ticket ever. In a construction zone that hadn't been worked on previously. Going 21 over. Oops. Luckily, he put on the ticket I was only going 10 over. It cost $130. I am now even more anal than usual. Stupid ticket. Brad and I babysat Dainen...and he started to make this face at me every time I pulled out my camera. Dainen turned 1! He really liked his new clothes. Brad got me beautiful flowers and tickets to see Mae for Valentines Day!We drove to California for a short but sweet trip to see Michael (Brad's brother) go through the temple. He goes on his mission to Guatemala City on April 1. I babysat Dainen while everyone was in the temple. He didn't like that I put him on the grass. Maci won the award for best hair over the weekend. The kids took one last shot together before Mike goes on his mission. (Note:isn't Brad a babe?)Dainen got his first haircut from Jennilyn.......and he made the "grandpa" face again. Brad turned the big 2-3 on March 7! He got fun movies like Eagle Eye and Batman Begins. He also got some cologne, favorite treats, and a PS3 controller to complete his set. He and Dainen were both very excited to be celebrating together. hahaha...don't kill me for posting this picture, Brad!And last but not least, I made possibly the craziest "Dr.Suess" cake EVER. Totally on accident, too. At least it tastes yummy!

So there ya go. A really fast update of what has been happening in my life for the past couple of months. A few other things that have happened:
-My sister, Amy, and her family moved to Mexico City and Amy had her 4th baby, Ian Ryker. I wish I could go see them (and I'm working on going...)
-We're finishing up the 3rd term of the school year. I'm almost 75% done with my first year!
-Brad and I celebrated our 17 month anniversary this month. Coming up on 18 months really, really fast...
-i won 7 all day park hopper passes to universal studios and universal studios islands of adventure! we think brad won them too, but he didn't get the email about it. We'll have to wait a few more weeks to see if we get the tickets in the mail.

and that's that. hope you enjoyed! i'll try to do better from now on. it just takes too stinking long to update on this much time!
