Spring Break

This week was VERY needed!  I will say I didnt accomplish a whole bunch, but I did get some relaxing in which was great!

Ive been binge-waching Arrow since I am so behind.  I also finally got to see Robin Hood (loved it!) and the new MI: Fallout (also loved it) while doing my treadmill.  I did absolutely no reading!

Alayna did some puppy sitting for 2 families.  I had fun playing with them too but didnt get any pics:(  She also got some new indoor plants to spruce up the place and "make us happy."

I made chocolate strawberries to "make me happy" lol

Bob and I finally got to go on a date.  We tried the new pizza place downtown Marion called Urban Pie.  It was good, but not amazing.  What WAS amazing is as we were leaving and crossing the busy street, Bob lifted a hand to wave at the guy who let us cross and our beautiful salad crashed and exploded on the pavement in front of everyone! It was hilarious- with lettuce flying! Oh well!

We also went to Orange Leaf after for frozen yogurt!

The snow has finally melted and the weather has been beautiful!  We have lots of flooding but so far we havent had any direct problems from it  This is by my school.

Other happenings...

Looks like Kayla, Brandon and Ellie are having fun in the snow this weekend!

Penelope and Misty found a new home! With friends!  We are so grateful to have found Wendy and that she is giving them so much love and an amazing safe home! Plus they have new friends Nellie and Lily!

Ive been swamped with the Book Fair and parent conferences while fighting off a cold.  Its warmer but we still have so much snow.  Spring break is in 1 week.  I am ready for the break and hopefully sunshine!  I bought myself the most amazing thing- its an 18 pound plush weighted blanket.  I sleep so much better.  Every night I race home to my circulation boots and weighted blanket.  Grateful for new technology that makes a huge difference!

Bob and Tyler's trip to AZ

They will have to fill in all the activities they did.  Im just sharing pics!

They missed their flight home so they came back a day late which was probably for the best since Bob got really sick with a sinus and lung infection.  Glad they are home safe- thanks to the Harts for having them!  They had a wonderful time!

Life continues...

Monday I didnt have school so I had a day for me. Even though it was cold, it was nice to be outside.  I got a haircut, went out to lunch with Bob, etc.  It was a really nice day.

Wednesday was a snow day again.  We are now up to June 10!  But I spent the day snuggled up and reading some great books!

Look at the snow build up on my library windows- we are very worried about the snow melting now...

This is what roads in southern CR look like now

Kayla, Brandon, Ellie and Marisa were up in SLC yesterday for a planning meeting for Portugal and spending time with the Riberas! Wish we could be there!  Bob and Tyler fly out on Tuesday to AZ for a week to visit the Harts.  Wish Alayna and I could go too!  My bookfair arrives this week!  Its been crazy busy.

We found Coco an amazing new home with an older couple and a new mom who LOVES snuggles! We are trying to find excellent homes for them before Alayna heads off to college next year.  They said he is so happy and has some new furry friends!

Happy Valentines Day- Oh, and more snow...

We had a wonderful Valentines Day! Bob knows me so well!  Beautiful roses, a BB8 Valentines pop-up card and a freshly made cinnamon roll from the Kettle House!

 We enjoyed our traditional heart-shaped pizza too!

 

We had a ridiculous amount of snow drop last weekend.  We spent several hours shoveling and snow blowing. It was VERY heavy wet snow.  I think its fair to say the minute we retire we are out of here!

The beauty this week:
We have this really cool thing that has happened several times over the past few months where the sun actually looks like a flame. I tried to capture it but didnt so I stole this picture from my friend Patty :)
