I really need to get back on the blogging band wagon! First off, thanks so much for all of your emails of love and support, it really means a lot to us. We're excited to be in the process and are already realizing just how long it takes!

We're in Utah for our Spring Break. It seems like we timed it perfectly as our little house in Ohio just got covered in 20 inches of snow. I got to spend some time with my parents before they left on their mission and Daniel got to play with Grandpa one more time. They seem really happy to be serving a mission. The day they left my Aunt and Uncle took us out to lunch at a wonderful sandwich place. (Paradise Bakery.... highly recommend it!) and then I dropped them off at the airport.

I've heard from them once and so far I think it's safe to say that they're having an adventure!

At the beginning of our vacation Daniel and I were staying at my sister Shannon's house (Bryan came out later) and this was the beautiful scene we woke up to on Sunday. Isn't it gorgeous? I keep telling them they need to put a balcony off of this bedroom! (you can also see the valley and the temple out of this window!)

Since I've been here I've also been to Ikea twice, and I've spent hardly any money. I'm so proud of myself! But it's definitely been fun to look around and see cool ideas that are somewhat in my price range. When the Cinncinati Ikea gets built I am so there. (I just looked it up and it's opening on the 12th! Woohoo!) Anyways, the second time I went we all stopped at the restaurant and got lunch, the kids were a hoot. They would not rest until they got their food. Silly little guys. So while these pictures may look serene, it was quite the contrary!
