1. We went to a dance performance by the BYU-Idaho Dance Alliance this week. They did a great job and we really enjoyed it. I immediately noticed two things: all of the dance moves were decent (nothing raunchy) and all of the costumes were modest. Even the short swing dance costumes had "bike shorts" under them...nothing sleeveless, really short, skin tight, etc. They did all kinds of different styles of dance and it was really great. We had fun...I think DH even enjoyed it, which is saying a lot!
2. Today I went to a temple sealing. It was beautiful. I didn't cry at all at my own wedding, but I bawled all the way through this one! It was a wonderful experience and I'm so glad I went. I really, really needed to be in the Temple today. It's been a rough few weeks and I needed that boost.
3. Also today, I drove by myself to the temple for the first time. Not a big deal, you say? Well, it is for me since the temple is almost 2 hours away. I haven't really ever driven very far by myself. I was proud of myself that I didn't get lost!
4. Poor B got a really bad sunburn at her soccer game today. She is so red!!
5. B's birthday is coming up and I'm having a hard time figuring out what to get her for her birthday. She'll be getting baptized and she's so excited!
6. I am feeling an incredibly strong urge to indulge in some serious retail therapy. I'm trying very, very hard to resist since I'm trying to save up some extra money for our trip to Disney World this summer. I passed the outlets on the way home...it took a lot of willpower not to stop and shop.

Random Thoughts
*Yesterday I made the reservations and paid the deposit for our family vacation to Disney World this summer. And one hour after I made the reservations, I realized I was going to have to call back and change the week of our trip. UGH! So I did that this morning. Hopefully I won't have to change it again since there aren't any other weeks this year we can go! I'm really excited about the trip!
*My children will never be allowed to learn to drive. Friday morning, the son of one of my good friends at work was in a car accident and he is now in ICU with extensive injuries. Broken ankle, broken pelvis, broken bones in his face, burns, smoke inhalation, lung problems.... By all accounts, it could have turned out much, much worse than it did. Fortunately for this boy a firefighter lived just next to where the accident happened (he fell asleep and hit a tree) and was able to extinguish the fire. I shudder to think about what would have happened otherwise.... But it's just too dangerous. My kids will not drive.
*Easter was lovely but cold. COLD. At 7 a.m. it was 30 degrees where we live. At that exact same moment in Anchorage (3 a.m.) it was 34 degrees. Yes, it was warmer in Anchorage than in Georgia. What's wrong with this picture? It was so cold that we didn't take any Easter pictures. We're waiting for a warmer weekend and then we'll "stage" some pictures. How sad is that???
*The dog hasn't tried to eat any Easter candy, but she did eat A's $2 bills. Yes, you read that right -- $2 bills. My grandmother (who lives in another state) sends the girls $2 bills for their birthdays. It's a novelty for them and they'll never spend them. Just something fun to have. But the dog ate them. A is not happy. I need to find a local bank that can get $2 bills so we can replace them.
*I've done something to my jaw. I don't know what, but I was hoping it was a temporary thing and would go away. Apparently it isn't going away. I guess I need to get it checked out since it has changed my bite and now other teeth are getting sensitive. But who do I go see? My dentist? I don't know!
*I'm ready for spring to come back.
*I need a new pedicure, already. Usually my pedicures last about a month, or longer. I usually touch up the nail polish at home between pedicures. This particular pedicure is only 2 weeks old and it's already chipping away really bad. Not happy about that.
*I really want spring to come back.
*I'm on a special diet to try to fix my stomach problems. I'm hungry. I can't eat anything I really like.
*Have I mentioned that I want spring to come back?
