February

Life is crazy! I am still trying to figure out where time goes! So I figured I should update our blog about what we have been up to. We were able to go home for Brett's birthday and I got to go to Danae's bridal showers. Brett didn't have a very exciting birthday, but we celebrated it in Vegas the month before. I did get him a few things (this was a joke gift, he is always teasing me that my temperature is messed up and wants to take my temp, but we didn't have a thermometer. So I got him one.) We had a yummy steak dinner with his family when we got into town on his birthday.

Valentines day was spent at Danae's bridal showers and then we went to dinner and played games with my parents and then went swimming. It was a very nice day! Her showers turned out really nice and they got lots of food and other things. I was glad I was able to be there! We had a very nice trip seeing our families. We always love going to visit! We both have AWESOME families that we love so much!





That next week was the parade of homes, so we got tickets to go see those. It was fun and something different to do. The homes were incredible! I have no idea how people can live in some of those millions of dollar homes, but they are fun to see anyways. We enjoyed doing that.







This is a house that was off one of the golf courses. The water from the pool went off the edge into a smaller pool. The picture doesn't do it justice! Both these pictures are that pool.













Brett loved all the huge bbq grills outside, with granite countertops around them. How would that be?






This pool was amazing! It had two water slides. Behind the waterfall is where the jacuzzi is, and in the cave part there is a sitting area and a flat screen tv in there. You can watch a movie and swim at the same time! Wow.... This whole house was amazing though. It had a climbing wall, putting green, full court raquet ball, half court basketball area, and a two story gym all in the basement! It was incredible! And of course it has a theater room, which all of them had.



I loved all the HUGE walk in closets! They were as big as a bed room. It doens't look big in the picture, but it was super big. Big enough I would be willing to share it with Brett. Ha ha....

There are lots more pictures to show, but I don't want to bore you. We really enjoyed seeing there unbelievalble homes. I recommend going sometime if you have never been!




The weather has also been beautiful down here so we have been doing as much as we can outside. I love it down here! We took Joseph on a hike, and went on other hikes as well.

















Schoool has been crazy for both of us. He is always studying between his classes and getting ready to take the DAT. (That is the test you take to get into dental school.) I finished my nursing classes and took all my finals, except one that I take in April. I started my preceptorship on the Labor and Delivery floor. I love it!


This last weekend Danae received her endowments, so we were able to go to Manti to support her and go to a session. It was wonderful! It made me think back to when I received mine, and also about our wedding day. We had not been through a session in Manti since we were married, so it was neat to go. Danae and Jake looked so happy! They are getting married this Saturday in the Salt Lake Temple, so that will be wonderful as well. We are so happy for them!

That's about all we have been up to. We are both excited for spring break next week, and for the end of the semester! Hope eveyone is doing well!
