It's still March

We have been pretty lame at making consistent new posts, but we have managed to write one every month since we started our blog, and we just realized it's an hour and a half til April!

A lot has happened since our last post...

1. The first that comes to mind (that we can remember) was getting to see all of our family towards the end of February. We were so happy to see everyone and it was such a special time to have almost all of our family here at the same time.

2. We bought tickets to go on a cruise! This was somewhat of an anniversary/first real honeymoon present to ourselves since we did a mid-semester wedding and only had two days to honeymoon...in Park City--yea we don't think it counts either. We are going in just two weeks and are starting to get really excited. We might need to fake bake so we aren't super white.

3. We signed up to be camp counselors at a summer camp for kids who have a parent with cancer called Camp Kesem. It is not until the end of August, but we have been going to counselor trainings and learning cool camp songs. One is about milk and you use each other's thumbs to pretend you're milking a cow. We had to come up with camp nicknames for the kids to call us; Tim's is Optimus (in honor of his nephews being big transformer fans) and mine is Pancakes (in memory of our precious kitty pet from last summer). 4. We got new carpet! Yay! Our carpet wasn't bad at all before, but Jean (the lady upstairs) is constantly remodeling. I'm thinking she is almost out of things to do--she has re-carpeted, redone the bathrooms, got new furniture, new marble counter tops in kitchen and bathrooms, painted, and I re-varnished her cabinets. That reminds me, I have unintentionally started a cabinet refinishing business. I sanded down and re-varnished all of Jean's kitchen cabinets, and then Peggy-the lady across the street wanted me to paint her cabinets--which I am almost finished with, and this weekend I will most likely be helping my friend, who just bought a new home, paint her cabinets. I feel like I'm getting kind of good at it.

5. Tim has been working at R.C. Willey for 6 months which means...DISCOUNT! Our place was mostly furnished when we moved in, so we never bought any furniture. Well we just bought lots--well to me it seem like lots. We got a beautiful sectional, a TV stand, a new mattress, a tree plant, and a pretty crib and baby dresser/changer--DISCLAIMER: We are not pregnant, and do not plan on being so anytime soon, but Tim thought it would be good to get all that stuff while we could get it cheap. Here is a picture of our first couch.
Tim took this of me mid-blogging. I asked him to so I could post the couch. Now that we have some new stuff it really has me in the mood to decorate. My birthday is in 6 days and I asked Tim if I could buy more decorations for my present. If you have any tips, send them our way. Goodbye until April.
