First celebration I'm going to mention was our celebration of National Star Wars day on May the fourth (May the fourth be with you! hahahah!) It was a lot of fun! Brandon and I wore our star wars t-shirts and invited a bunch of friends to hang out and watch the Star Wars movies (the old ones, cause the new ones are only mediocre) Cameron Kapetenov was nice enough to let us party at his house! It was so much fun! We had cinnamon rolls to represent Princess Leia's hair, powdered doughnuts to represent the beginning of The Empire Strikes back, barbeque and regular chips to signify the dark and light sides of the force, teddy grams because they look like ewoks and a bunch of other stuff that we somehow connected to Star Wars! Caleb and Morgan Perry, Nate Waite, Gerard Howells (who is now mine and Brandon's cousin cause we're adopting him as such lol!) Rick Rea, Josh (whose last name I do not know), Rachel Shull and Cam, me, and Brandon were all there! It was so much fun! These people are so awesome and I love hanging out with them. We snacked and watched The Empire Strikes Back, and then watched some Family Guy parody's of Star Wars. It was super fun and we all had a great time! Brandon and I were there so late that we just crashed and Cam's and left the next morning! hahaha We're so awesome.
Yet another celebration that occurred was Off The Wall Improv (the improv troop Brandon and I play with) had their 8th Birthday show! Whoot! It was a hilarious show. The sad thing is that it was Nate Waite's last time playing. It's for a good cause though. He is going on a mission!!!! To Orlando Florida! I'm so happy and excited for him. It's gonna be a bummer not having him at improv though. He is probably one of the funniest people on the troop.
Brandon and I took time to celebrate our marriage by having a date night, too! On saturday we did tons of yard work and then rewarded ourselves by going to dinner at Costa (obviously our favorite, since we go there ALL THE TIME!) and then going to see the new Marvel movie "Thor." It was epic! I loved it. Thor has always been one of my favorite Marvel characters and I'm so glad that they did it justice! It was a very well done movie! I'm so excited for Captain America and all of the other Marvel movies that are coming out! They all look fabulous!!!! I'm such a nerd!
Sunday was a big day for a lot of people. Not only was it Mother's Day, but it was Nate Waite's farewell talk. His poor mom... His talk was really great. He was able to be more serious than I have seen him in a very long time. Possibly ever. He was still funny Nate that he has always been, but I was definitely able to see a change in him . A growth from where he was before. I'm very proud of him. I know that he will be a great missionary!
As mentioned before, Sunday was Mother's day! I have always loved Mother's Day. It's nice to be able to celebrate your mom and all that she does for you. I mean... there are few things more strenuous than birthing a child and raising it! Thanks mom for doing it for me! I love you! To celebrate Mother's day Brandon and I made the rounds to all of the mom's and grandmas that are in the state and reachable. First we visited Grandma Billings (we were supposed to see Amy- my step mom- there, but it didn't work out, so we left her gift there for her and we're going to go visit her sometime this week), then we went to my mom's and had dinner and Grandma Dennis/Smith came so that was fun that we got to see her, then we went to Colleen's and visited with her, CJ, Tanya, Jace, and Lexi (Gavin's girlfriend) and talked to Gavin on the phone (he comes home in like 14 days!) then we went to Cris and Steve's and had dessert, and finally we went to Grandma Sherri's and visited with her and Grandpa Jim for a while. It was a FULL DAY! But it was a lot of fun. And it was necessary that we got to see all of those wonderful women. Especially our real mothers. I love them so much. They have done so much for us and continue to do so. I love them so much.
Also for Mother's day, Brandon told me that he wanted to get me a bike! I've been wanting a bike for a long time, and so for my "future mother of my children" (this does NOT mean I am pregnant! It simply means that someday we will have children, and I will be their mother. The End.) gift from brandon he took me out to get a bike. We spent a few hours shopping, but eventually came home with a beautiful seafoam green and creamish yellow beach cruiser! I'm so excited! It's exactly what I wanted. Thank you honey for my bike!!!!
As I mentioned before, Gavin comes home in two weeks! So crazy! I am super excited to see him though. The last time I saw him he was in high school with me and he knew that I had a crush on Brandon. In fact, he TOLD Brandon that I had a crush on him. I wanted to kill him. But hey, it all ended up fantastically, so I guess I can't be too mad. Gavin is a crazy kid. I love him though. He hasn't even experienced me being married to his brother, yet he treats me like I am part of the family and already calls me his sister. Our conversation on the phone was really fun and it was good to talk to him. I feel like he and I are going to be close. Which is good! Such wonderful things to celebrate!
