The "Ultimate" Update

Usually for Christmas someone in my family gives me a calendar for the next year. This year I didn't get one and so Jordan got me one that has a new recipe for every month. I decided to attempt to make the lemon pull-aparts. Here is what they are supposed to look like and what they did look like. They were actually really really good!
For a ward activity the RS put on a ward date night. Each table worked together to have a theme and then to each bring a food item. Our table was western with corn on the cob and pulled pork sandwiches. We decided we wanted to dress up.
A little smootch behind the hatCowboy up!
Yesterday was Jordan's 25 birthday! Can you believe it? To celebrate he got a free meal at Tucanos so we stuffed ourselves silly!They even gave him a free dessert and luckily I also got to reap the rewards.

There was a really cool fountain we played in after!

Good lookin' couple

Probably the highlight of Jordan's birthday was the Ultimate Frisbee game. Our old singles ward has 2 teams and he plays on one with his cousin and brother. The two teams played each other. It was a blast to watch. He really loves the sport... and he is good at it.Jordan and his old roommate Mike (TOUGH GUYS)The winning team!

Ode to Mom

Happy Mother's Day! I am so grateful for my mom and for all women on the earth. In our married student ward new couples are invited to attend the celestial marriage class for at least 6 months, because of that I have had mother's on my mind a lot. I am so grateful for the role of women and of motherhood. I have learned so much from my mom as I know she learned so much from her mother. As I look forward to someday being a mom (no, not an announcement) I am terrified and am so excited to fulfill this role to nurture and love. This is just a list of many of the things my mom has done for me as I'm sure yours have done for you.
1. Taxi driver
2 #1 fan (for soccer and dance, rain or shine)
3. Best listener
4. Advice Giver
5. Knows when to agree when I had trouble with boys and when to express her frustration as well
6. Patient
7. Cook
8. Referee when little (2 boys and 1 girl, she solved the problem).
9. Loving
10. Supportive and Encouraging
Not only am i grateful for my mom, but for my grandma, who taught my mom so much. I hope that I can also teach my future children the right. Love you mom!
