The Highlight of My Day: April 2010


Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in April:

Thu 4/1/10: I went to the dentist this morning and they told me I had 8 cavities. I was like, NO WAY! Then they quickly reminded me it was April 1st. No cavities for me! *phew!*

Fri 4/2/10: We have 11 children at our home tonight, but it's all good. :) Scott and Emma love playing with their cousins, and it's fun spending time with all of them, too. Tonight we dyed Easter Eggs.

Sat 4/3/10: Today we watched General Conference and went over to Bruce and Loralee's house. The children had an Easter egg hunt there, and we watched "Once Upon a Mattress." Loralee made some very yummy homemade sweet rolls.

Sun 4/4/10: We watched more of General Conference today. I made a ham dinner and some potato salad with dyed eggs. Marilyn and James had dinner with us and brought a large stack of "Shaun the Sheep" DVDs and "Wallace and Grommit."

Mon 4/5/10: I took Scott and Emma to the dentist this afternoon and they didn't have any cavities! YAY! On the way home we stopped at the library and picked up some more "Battlestar Galactica" for Brad and me to watch.

Tue 4/6/10: I started my exercise routine today. A couple of weeks ago Brad made a DVD of my old exercise video I used to do as a teenager and when I was in my early twenties. Amazing, I still know the video by heart.

Wed 4/7/10: I made taco salad for dinner tonight. Yummy!

Thu 4/8/10: Lizzy decided to dump Rosie's huge water dish all over herself today. She was drenched from head to toe. She started laughing as soon as she saw me laughing. It was a very funny sight.

Fri 4/9/10: Brad and I went to dinner at Carino's Italian Restaurant tonight. It was lovely! Lizzy had fun flirting with the guy waiters and an elderly gentleman. I'm afraid she's going to break men's hearts someday.

Sat 4/10/10: A nice Saturday-- just Brad, me, and Twinkle. We got done chores, watched some more "Battlestar Galactic," ran errands, went out to dinner, and had a pleasant drive to Layton.

Sun 4/11/10: I had a fun time at church with Lizzy. She stayed with me the whole time. She was one of five young children in Young Womens. Sister Lignell brought her tiny baby kitten, too.

Mon 4/12/10: I tried to make steak tonight, but an unexpected storm came out of nowhere and made it too windy to keep a fire going on the grill. I ended up cooking on the indoor grill, which was still yummy, but it took a long time before dinner was ready. My funeral potatoes came out perfect, though.

Tue 4/13/10: Lizzy was so thrilled to see me when I got back from Young Womens tonight. It made my day.

Wed 4/14/10: I am learning how to double crochet. I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Thu 4/15/10: I picked up Susie at the airport today! She'll be staying all weekend until Tuesday morning.

Fri 4/16/10: Susie and I did a lot of walking today. After dropping off the Odyssey at the mechanics we headed over to the dog park in Taylorsville and went walking at the Jordan River Parkway. In the evening we picked up the Odyssey again and the expense was a lot less than we anticipated which made Brad very happy.

Sat 4/17/10: Susie ran in the SLC Marathon today. We drove over to the Gateway to see her cross the finish line and cheered for her. We went to Panda Express for lunch afterward.

Sun 5/18/10: We had a birthday party for me tonight. Brad got me a special edition DVD of "My Fair Lady," and Susie bought me two novels by Gail Carson Levine: "Fairest" and "Ever."

Mon 4/19/10: Susie and I had a very yummy sushi lunch today. Eating sushi has become a regular habit when I'm with my sisters. Love it!

Tue 4/20/10: I put together a CD of pictures from Susie's visit all together for her to take home. I love taking pictures.

Wed 4/21/10: Today is my birthday! I turned 30 years old. Brad took me to the Cheesecake Factory tonight. We brought home some yummy cheesecake and watched more Battlestar Galactica.

Thu 4/22/10: Brad and I took the Legacy to our auto mechanic's this morning to find out why it was making a strange humming noise. We thought it was near the end of its "life" and were expecting the worst. The mechanics found out what was wrong and only charged us $275 to get it fixed, which was a lot less than we thought.

Fri 4/23/10:
I went to watch Brad play volleyball at the Stake Center tonight. Brad's team won both games. Yay! Brad and I enjoyed some time alone and watched two more episodes of Battlestar Galactic tonight. They were both really good episodes.

Sat 4/24/10: I bought a half pound of Boarshead's Cracked Peppermill Turkey today from the Harmon's grocery store near our house. Boarshead is my absolute favorite brand of deli sandwich meat. So, so good!

Sun 4/25/10: I set up my visiting teaching appointments today before the end of the month. Hooray for me!

Mon 4/26/10: We went to the park tonight and played tennis for FHE. It was a blast! Lizzy loved watching us hit the balls. Oh, and David approved our request to get a kitten! HOORAY!

Tue 4/27/10: My husband made me feel loved and appreciated tonight. :) I love him. I'm grateful that we have each other to lean on during rough times.

Wed 4/28/10: Lizzy has a tooth coming in! I can barely see it, but I felt it just fine. It's little and sharp and pointy. Pretty soon she's going to have an adorable one-tooth smile.

Thu 4/29/10: I caught Lizzy today eating dog food. What puzzles me the most is that she has become extra picky the last few weeks and won't eat yummy foods like chicken or eggs and yet she LIKES dog food. Gross!

Fri 4/30/10: Brad and I had Taco Bell for dinner tonight while we finished watching the last episode of "Battlestar Galactica." What a terrific ending! I loved it. I'm sad it's over, but at least we have the 1st season to watch together. I haven't seen the first 1st season yet. We skipped it since Brad had already seen it a few years ago.
