Catch Up

Well Dave and I have been in our new apartment for over two weeks now. We've got most everything together and clean. There are a few things we still would like to get but that will take some time and more money. I'll post pictures soon. We haven't gone to our new ward yet because we've been going to our previous ward since we were both in the primary and the primary program was yesterday and we didn't want to bail out on them (we're both teachers and Dave was the pianist). So we have yet to see what our ward is like. This Sunday will be our first time going to our ward. I'm sure it will be great.

It's nice to be in our own place and have all of our things again, but at the same time, I'm glad we still live close to family. Here are a few things we've been up to the last few weeks, besides moving in and getting settled.

We rediscovered the awesomeness of our Nerf Guns. Dave's brother gave the guns to us for Christmas a couple of years ago and had only used them once because we didn't have a lot of space in our studio apartment. So now that we have multiple rooms to hide in, we decided to try them out again. It was super fun but we got tired pretty quick. We also discovered that we don't have very good aim.


Also, I went to Enrichment with Dave's mom last week and made some cute Halloween decorations. Here's the finished product.


As already mentioned, yesterday was our last Sunday in our old ward. Here is a picture of our primary class, ages 7-8. Mostly girls, but they were all great and we are going to miss them.


And to catch you up to today, for our FHE activity, Dave and I went to See's Candy. Grandpa Ricks gave us a coupon. It's not a pre-packaged box. We got to pick our favorites and experiment with new flavors. This makes me happy to be able to choose my own candy. So needless to say, I'm in heaven. That's the way to go.


So that's about it around here. We are busy with work and getting things to finish up the apartment. OH! I almost forgot. We just got a TV. Dave's mom found one at a garage sale for $30 and it's in great shape. We discovered that my portable DVD player can plug into it, so we can watch movies. And then Dave's parents gave us their TV stand since they are buying an entertainment center. That's another great thing about living close to family. We get first dibs on all the things they don't want anymore. We also got a desk and are getting some bookshelves from them too. Dave and I also just purchased some tables to put in our living room. We found out about them from some friends. It's great to have family and friends looking out for you.
