HESS

The last few months have just flown by. Can you say slacker??

* January *

I had my 21st birthday. The day before my birthday I went to my mom's and everyone was there. I just sat around and then Jake's mom called and asked me to come over. So I sat around a little longer. Then my mom said that they were all going to Barnes & Noble. I thought, my mom wants to go shopping??? Weird. So me being in my pajamas decided to go with them but first I needed to go home and change. But Jake trying to force me to stop at his mom's before I went home and changed...which did not make any sense.? After arguing ALOT we went over there. I walked in and saw balloons, and my first thought was: "0kay..if this is a surprise party and my friends are here and I look like crap in and in my pajamas, this is not okay. :)" But it was just my family, and they all had been trying to get me to leave my mom's the whole time. Jake had planned it and got this yummy cake from Grandma Toblers.

I was kinda mad, because I hate surprises. But it was fun. Jake's a sweetheart.

**February**
Our Annual Valentine's dinner. It was so much fun. Somebody probably needs to take the camera away from us. Fondue date night.

*Candle in the wind*

Jake made his own little "Wilson" like on castaway. He just has such a creative touch.

***March***
I went up to Idaho Falls for my first time with Rhonda and Carolyn. We stayed at the Shiloh Inn which was directly across the Snake River from the Idaho Falls Temple. It was neat. Snowy, but neat. I had to drive down the street and the speed limit said 40mph. So I'm cruising along then all of a sudden I see a sign that says 25mph. I wasl like, what!? So I slow way down. Next thing I know the next sign said 40mph again!!? That town is crazy.


****April****
It is now April and on the 8th my brother Steve returned from his mission! Though his flight was three hours late, it was so great to see him and so many people showed up at the airport. We are so glad to have him home!
Not to mention Wicket's new dog house.
We can't even get her out of it. She loves it! We're pretty sure she's hung picture and repainted the interior. She's quite the decorator. You can't really see it, but in this picture she drug a beaded necklace into it. She's quite the collector too.
