Busy Bees

We have been so crazy busy lately. This past week we had so much stuff to do. I had to try and get all of my visiting teaching done, group projects, my birthday, and our car broke down. So most of last week was spent on the go.

Friday was my birthday. I already got my presents so mike just got me something small for the day off. Oh...we got a puppy!!!! That was one of my presents. His name is spud and he is an Australian Shepherd/Blue heeler/Border Collie mix. He is super cute and very energetic. We got him as a puppy so right now he is 8 weeks old. He isn't as cuddly as I would like but he is pretty fun to play with. We are crate training him while we also potty train him. It has been very difficult to potty train Spud. He has good days and then very bad days. It's difficult but we are determined to make it work. (:

So for Friday mike got me a birthday shirt, birthday pin, and a birthday tiara. Yes...a tiara. I only wore it for a little bit because it was too small and dug into my head. We skipped class to make a day of fun and laziness. Well while mike was getting the car washed (not the truck) he went to start it up after and it wouldn't start. Needless to say we ended up spending my birthday at the dealership trying to get another car. Luckily we saved some of our tax refund money, so we used a little of that to get a new car. We got a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. It's really nice and only had 122,000 miles on it. It gets very good gas mileage and is pretty spacious. While buying a car wasn't exactly how I wanted to spend my birthday I started to feel really bad. So I just went home and took a nap. 

We ended up celebrating the next day, Saturday. We had a couple of friends over and we had hamburgers and baked beans. It was pretty delicious. Mike even made me my mom's special turtle cheesecake! It turned out so good! We also went to a friends comedy show on campus and then came home and opened some presents. It was a pretty fun, chill day. It was a pretty darn good birthday. I got to spend it with Adelaide, Mike, and some friends. I had a good time. (:

This past sunday was Easter!!!! (: What a wonderful holiday to celebrate! We had lamb, mashed potatoes, rolls, broccoli, and deviled eggs. I never had lamb before, and I liked it! It was pretty good! We had a good day skyping family and just spending time together. 

Adelaide has been so silly lately. She says so many words now. She can say, "uh oh," "dada," "cheese," and "up." She has one of her upper canines in and the other one is right behind it. I'm pretty sure she will have a lisp but it will be super cute. (: Here are some pictures of her...until next time....
