The men working in the yard.

The last couple of weeks have been busy. My social calendar has been pretty full and we've been trying to work on the house and yard. A couple of weeks ago, I had a girl's lunch at the park with my old friends (meaning from a long time ago, not that they're old), a girl's night out with some girls from our new ward and book club. It's nice to have girl time. Last weekend we tired ourselves out working in the yard. There's so much to do in the front and the back. My dad came and helped out a little. Julio has been digging out all the stones and bricks in the ground and we cleared all the weeds out of the terrace. We are going to plant vegetables and flowers in the terrace and grass in the rest of the yard. The front lawn needs to be leveled out, the flower bed needs to be cleaned out and have rocks or ground covering put in. Lots to do. I've painted our bathroom and the trim, Julio put in new towel and tp racks. I've been painting the dining chairs and bought valances for the dining room windows. Things are looking better.

Yesterday was another busy Saturday. We were able to go to the temple to see our friends from our old ward, the Bergen's sealed as a family (in the temple they perform a special ordinance where families can be sealed for time and all eternity) It was so awesome to witness. The kids had to wait outside, of course, but Lucia was so happy to see her best friend Madelyn when they came out. It was a beautiful day and it was nice to attend a luncheon for them and spend some time with family and friends. Yesterday we had dinner here with Mom, Dad, and Brandon.

Now it's Monday again. The weeks are flying by. We're looking forward to summer! Lucia only has school until May 24th! We want to go to Utah, LA, go camping. Need to start planning!
