Lovin' Life

Well Katy had her 3rd birthday a couple of weeks ago! I can't believe she's 3 already! Where does the time go?? It was a great day, despite the rain! We had planned for her and all of her friend's to go play in the water over at the park, but due to the rain and lightning, we wound up just going over to the church and letting all the girls play around in the nursery. It wasn't exactly how I had planned, but I think everyone still had fun.

Evan and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary this week. I feel like we've been together for ages, in a good way. It was a wonderfully simple and sweet anniversary. We couldn't go out the day of our anniversary because Evan had to work, but he did surprise me with a beautiful arrangement of Sunflowers! We went out on a date the following day. We haven't been able to go out on a date in a very long time, so it was nice, and kinda weird, to be out without our Bug. It was nice, cool, overcast evening. We went and enjoyed the tasty buffet at the The Roof. I love that restaurant. It has the most beautiful views of the city and the temple. It was nice and quiet, just me and my sweetheart. After our long and delicious meal, we strolled around temple square. We headed on over to the Conference Center and enjoyed looking at the Arnold Friberg paintings of the Book of Mormon stories. They were, as always, beautiful and intriguing. I love the way he uses light in all of his paintings. Lovely. It was a perfect, and much needed evening.

In other news, Evan is still working and going to school. The project he has been working on with this company, however, comes to an end as of next Saturday. We're not sure what will come after that, but we are hopeful. I have minimized the number of children I babysit from 2 to 1. I have a nice summer break for about 3 weeks, and I am enjoying every minute of it. As soon as we know when Evan will get another job, I will most likely stop babysitting all together so I can have time to get Katy involved in some extra curricular activities. We are also, looking forward to a greatly anticipated, and long overdue, trip to Arizona in a week. Evan hasn't been able to take a trip anywhere since we moved here a year and a half ago so he is very excited to get out of the valley. It will be nice to get to see both of our families and spend some good time with them. If only we could just pack them all up and bring them home with us!
