We pretend to be adults.

Happy Easter!
It's just the two of us and our pup this Easter.  The first time we don't have our families surrounding us on a holiday. It's bittersweet but we're trying to adult it out.



Side note: we've learned we are pretty terrible at adulting. Our shower cracked in a few places and we had the maintenance people come and check it out. Come to find out it was a pretty big deal and they have to do a week's work on it, which means we are shower-less. 
So our apartment lent us the keys to the model apartment so we could use that shower. Being the sweet wife I am I took ALL of our toiletries to the other apartment so it would be easy to shower and whatnot without having to carry things. 
8:00pm rolls around and Andy decides to take a break from studying and go shower. However, the apartment people forgot to give us the alarm code {minor details...} that obviously arms itself after hours {or someone armed it after I left. Remember I left ALL our toiletries}. 
Needless to say, at 8:00 at night we are standing outside this apartment, that isn't ours, in our pajamas talking to the police- with our dog. Well, the police can't shut the alarm off and the apartment people wouldn't answer the emergency line. The neighbors are pretty pumped about us being there at this point. 
We have to leave, no shower, no getting our things {not even my toothbrush}, and hope for better luck next time. 

So much for that. I think the pool is going to be our temporary shower. 

Oh, another reason adulting just isn't my thing. I submitted my application for my OT license without notarizing it because I didn't know what notarizing was. I know now. 

So we celebrate Easter pretending to be adults. I think it's interesting that Christmas is a bigger, more elaborate holiday than Easter. Personally, I love Easter. Yes, Jesus was born on Christmas but he died and rose again for us on Easter. I think that should be bigger. But no one asked me. And why is the Cadbury Bunny an egg from a bunny? That just doesn't make sense...

I'm filled with so much joy celebrating the freedom Christ gave us 2,000 years ago and continues to give us today. My heart always breaks when I think about the torture Jesus endured for me but death could not keep Him! The grave is empty and will remain empty forevermore.


An adult breakfast coming at ya to start our morning.


We went to New Life Community Church. It's where we have been attending. We miss our family at Havenfield so very much but New Life has been great for us.

I made a pot roast for lunch {I even put it in the crock pot the night before, that's an adulting success}.




Andy studied most of the day. Such is his life.

Raja completely destroyed her panda. She reminds me of Sid in Toy Story the way she treats her toys. Sometimes I feel really horrible for her toys, like I betrayed them by giving them to her.

Little bit creepy. 

She had a happy easter.



I'm not a huge flower person but I thought these brightened up the apartment.


My mom has been sending the scorpion emoji at the end of her texts to me, not sure how that makes me feel. But I get to hug her tomorrow! For a whole week. 

I trust you all had a great Easter with family and friends. I also trust you're better at adulting than me.

"It was for freedom that Christ set us free" Gal 5:1



Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
Do you believe this?"
John 11:25-26

Let The Summer Begin (almost)

We decided we needed to get out of the valley for a few days {with summer quickly approaching and tempts reaching the 90's}, so we packed up and went to Payson for the weekend. I highly recommend going to see the Natural Bridge, pictures do not do it justice.  And I'm pretty dang impressed with Andy for hiking all day with this baby pack. It is seriously not as easy as it looks. I've got to start training...  Raja clearly had the time of her life. {per usual} We are so excited that little man is big enough to ride in the baby pack! And I'm excited Andy is able to haul the baby pack.  Raja is just excited about dirt and water {mud}.  Happy Monday, everyone. Thanks for reading :) 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It's 2017!

We spent Christmas in Colorado with the Bucks and Phillips!  Christmas Eve dinner at The Broadmoor  Dylan, Lexie, and Tate joined us for New Years.  It was pretty tough not going home for Christmas but we had a great time with family and friends.  2016 will always hold some wonderful, challenging, and surprising memories. We are looking forward to the new year and what God has in-store for us in 2017.  For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6 

Keep It Simple

Yes, we are still here, alive and well in Arizona- with an all new blog page! Life is going pretty great. Andy is almost in the clinic and I am finishing up my last few weeks of work! May is going to be a big life changer for us and we are so excited for it. We're getting into the routine of the parent life, I'd say pretty well. The last 2 weeks we have gotten at least 7 hours of sleep a night! So kind of feeling like a boss right now; compliments to the baby boy- thanks for that. I've been debating a lot lately on where to go with this blog... I originally started it to keep up with our adventures in Arizona. I must say, I do enjoy going back and reading old posts and remembering all the fun times {and difficult times} we have had. However, I have decided I do not want my baby's entire life posted on blogger world for all of man kind to see- so I am going to keep the blog for memories, adventures, and thoughts but I am keeping the baby pictures to a min...
