Easter

I just realized I forgot to post about Easter like I said I would. Gary, Kendall, Cindy, Aidan, Layla, and I all went to Gary's sister's house for Easter dinner which was delicious. It was nice to relax and hang out with his family. The babies had a great time as our friends Chris and Emily joined us. We even convinced Em to dress up in a bunny costume to take pics with the kids. It was so much fun. Here are pics of the babies on their first Easter!!!

The End is in sight!!!

The semester is quickly drawing to an end with lots of exciting things happening. Of course the most exciting is the end of the semester. But I am also busy with TriDelta events that are taking up a lot of my time. This week is Greek Week here at UW and it's been great so far. We have an enthusiastic house which makes it fun to participate in activities. Last weekend I had the honor of hosting my mom and younger sister for a day. We attended Mother/Daughter brunch at TriDelta and was happy because Gary's mom, Jeanne and his sister Sharon also joined us. This week I have the Senior trip with the women from my pledge class and then we officially become alumni on Sunday. I can't believe it's all almost over.

The top left corner is Layla, top right is my friend Erin (also my maid of honor) and tridelta sister, and bottom is Aidan.

The babies are doing great- trying to crawl still but getting soooo close. They have amazing personalities and it's so great to watch them grow and change. Layla has been throwing pretty big tantrums lately which I must say is NOT my favorite thing to put up with. She will clench her tiny fists, hold her breath, turn bright red, and let out the most piercing high pitched scream. It's very obnoxious and she usually only does it when we aren't giving her 100% of our attention. We are trying to break her of this habit since she has a brother that needs just as much love as she does. Aidan has gotten so goofy lately. He will sit in his exer-saucer and bounce up and down continuously which makes the whole thing bounce too. He just giggles and laughs. So cute.

Semester's End

We only have about three more weeks of classes left in the spring. Which I am very happy about as it's been a long semester. But I am taking summer classes to be able to graduate after fall semester. Yep- you heard me I AM GRADUATING!!!!! It's about time because I am getting a litle worn out of school. I will officially graduate in December but probably won't walk until May as it will be more convenient for my family to come down for graduation and the wedding all in one week. Speaking of the wedding- Gary's mom has agreed to make the bridesmaids dresses so they won't be so expensive which is good because I don't want to make my attendants pay a lot of money to be involved in my big day. I also found shoes and a cheap place to buy flowers for decorating so that's a start.
We also had an interesting day yesterday. We didn't have school because of Easter break so Gary, Kendall, and I went to the driving range (where I tried out my golf clubs) and when we came home I opened the door to the basement and smelled gas. We had been having problems with our water heater leaking water all over and apparently it had been leaking gas as well. So we called the Fire Department and they got a hold of Kinder Morgan. They came and disconnected the water heater and deemed it hazardous. They fixed a gas leak outside as well. Our landlords are out of town for the weekend so another guy had to come and install a brand new water heater. So this morning we got a new water heater and hot water again. That's all for now. I will update again tomorrow or Monday with Easter pics of the babies!
