Finals Yuck!


Dan has officially started his cramming for finals. This 3-4 week period is what I least look forward to this spring. Dan leaves in the morning and comes home around midnight. I pack him a lunch and dinner, dinner usually consists of a frozen burritos or some other frozen food I sampled at Costco that week. He is so dedicated in his schooling. Dan never gets stressed either. He will be running on little sleep and high expectations but still grinning from ear to ear. That's why I love you baby! This picture was taken when we were renting week to week in Orange. This is how Dan finds me when he comes home from school, dead asleep in front of the TV. It's his lucky day if I'm all ready for bed, if not, watch out! I don't have a very good attitude when I'm half asleep. Thank goodness since this picture we've bought a TV and had a visit from the Time Warner guy. Heaven for bid I read a book before going to bed, that's what works for. I know Mom, never end a sentence in a preposition. It just sound too affected in this case.

Harmsen Time





My cousin Becca Harmsen was married last weekend here in Newport. My aunt and uncle are mission presidents here in the OC so they brought the wedding to them. I loved it! All my family (except Mark, tear.) came down to our neck in the woods. Stephen and Amy flew in a day early so we were able to spent some quality time with them before the rest of the crew came down, Stephen even went on our morning run (in sambas) with us. Becca was married in the Newport Temple and had her reception at the Balboa Bay Club, a beautiful day! I have to say all of my sisters looked amazing! I love and miss you all. I was lucky enough to go down and spend the night in San Diego to spend an extra day with the family. My sister's adorable little boy Luke didn't remember me, so sad. When she asked him my name he said "Jesus" I don't know if that's a sign for a hair cut or to be a better aunt.

Ferarri F360




For those of you who know me I'm not very into cars, but Dan seems to be taken with the idea that you can go from o to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. After priesthood a member gave us rides in his sweet ride. We only went out for a few minutes each but we still were able to make it to 120mph outside of the church parking lot! I screamed so he went easy on me but Dan seemed stoked! I assured Dan that this was probably his last ride unless he makes some rich friends.

Fatherly Advice




Dan and I finally made it to a much anticipated visit to the OC Swap Meet. I found a sweet dress, we bought so many fruits and veggies for dirt cheap, but the best was Dan's haircut. That's right, they give hair cuts at the swap meet and for $10 bucks! In the words of my father, "There are two things you can never spend too much money on, a nice pair of shoes and a good hair cut". Obviously we are doing something wrong.
