Busy Busy Busy

So I don't have any pictures this time. I've been meaning to take some pictures of the shopping square we live in, but I keep forgetting!! Anywho, life has been really busy for both of us! Adam obviously is with his work and now I've been working about 40-45 hours a week between boths jobs. It's making time fly by so fast! We'll be home before we know it! Adam is doing really well. Definitely better than last year. He is about the top ten in his office and there are like 30 reps. Way to go babe! 
Anywho, not too long after we moved in we got callings in our new ward. We're primary teachers! We teach the ctr 7 class. There are about 5 boys and 1 girl. I've never taught primary before and I've learned quickly that you NEED treats to bribe them with so they will listen. It's pretty fun though. We've taught for 2 weeks now. The one girl we have in class is named Avery. She is one of the older ones and is really smart. She attached to Adam and I VERY quickly and when I mean quickly I mean the first time she saw us she sat as close as she could by me and had her arm looped around mine. She does the same with Adam too. I forgot what primary was like during sharing time. The little kids say the funniest things sometimes. It definitely keeps us entertained during church! 
Since this past weekend was Memorial weekend both Adam and I were very busy with work. Holidays are big selling days for Adam's company and with my jobs they both had sales and everyone was out shopping! So since we couldn't do anything saturday or monday, after church on Sunday about 5 or 6 couples went to a park nearby that had grills and we all pitched in and brought stuff for a bbq! We lucked out and had beautiful weather. On Memorial Day it rained more than I'd ever seen before. It was pouring when I got done with my first job that day and while I was driving home it looked like buckets of water were being dumped on my car over and over again. It was quite the storm! Also over the weekend the square we live in has an annual festival here. It reminded me of a fair. There were craft booths, lots of food, rides, and live bands all weekend long. It was weird for me to be living right in the middle of it. I'm glad we kind of got to do something for the holidays..it's nice to get a break every once in a while from our hectic works schedules!
Some other exciting news (not for Adam) is I'm coming home in 2 weeks!!! I leave on June 10 and will be home for a whole week. Nat is flying in the same day with the girls. I"m so excited! I haven't even met Ivy yet and she's already 6 months old. The last time Nat was here was when I got married which actually today was exactly 8 months ago! Wow...it doesn't seem like that long. Anyways, I think this is all for now..I probably forgot something because I always do. I will remember to take some pictures of the square or something interesting around here to post next time! love you guys!

  1. You guys are busy! Holy cow! I can't wait to see everybody in a couple of weeks too. It will be awesome! I'm not sure how Carter will take to his girl cousins. Other girls his age he just stares at.... He's kind of flirty
