I could go on and on, but you might get a little board!

pps I would put pictures of my Ecuadorian kids but I'm not allowd to put pictures of them on the internet! :(

What a Week!! (sorry no pics)

Ok so the week was not that bad, but we had a lot going on! Sunday we had Koby's cousin Marcus' farewell. For all who know me well, I used to have a huge crush on Marcus, so it was kind of weird going! After the farewell we went to my parent's house for a birthday bash for Grandma Lott (on the 17th) and Koby (on the 19th)!! It was a lot of fun to be with everyone and enjoy each other's company! Monday night I volunteered at Evergreens, it is sort of like the festival of trees but much smaller and in Layton!! :) I sat near a tree that had lots of toys that all the little kids wanted to play with! Tuesday I had to work and had to stay a little later than I thought and failed to call Koby. He got a little paranoid and called my mom and then finally called me at work. We were late for a dinner party that my visiting teacher invited us to, so after I got home we hurried on over. It was really good homemade Mexican food!!! She had made juice which reminded me so much of Ecuador! It was so yummy!!!! Wednesday was Koby's 27th birthday! Yes my husband is that old! Crazy huh? Anyway, I wanted to make it so special for him but wasn't exactly sure what to do. So I finished all my homework and hurried over to Target to get some supplies and another present for him. I got some decorations and then went on to look for a present. He said that silky sheet would be cool, but I couldn't find those at Target, so I had to settle for a sweater! I went back home and started to decorate! I was talking to M'liss on the phone and trying to decorate, for those of you who have tried to decorate a room all by yourself, talking on the phone is difficult! I had to tell M'liss good-bye and finish up my wonderful creation! I had everything all ready by the time he got home, except for his card!! We went to Robintino's (sp?) for dinner. It was really good food and the service was great! After that we went to find a movie. After trying two different redbox locations we still didn't find the movie we were looking for. We still had a gift card for Coldstone so we got ice cream and tried the last redbox location. Luckily this one had it and we headed home! We had a nice evening together without any worries or cares, it was so nice! Thursday was the only night last week that we did not have anything! Friday we were luck enough to get to spend some time with friends. We went to a reception and were able to see lots of old friends there! I don't think I have ever heard so much about a football game in one evening, or one weekend for that matter! By the end of Friday night I was praying that the Utah vs BYU football game would disappear!! Saturday morning I woke to my alarm going off and finding the bed next to me empty. At first I was a little worried because it was Saturday and usually Koby is the one to sleep in on Saturday. Then I remembered why I was dreading the day before me and yet I was so grateful that it was finally here! It was the day of the Utah vs. BYU football game that I had been hearing about for days, no it was more like weeks. Anyway, Koby was so excited/nervous about the game that he couldn't sleep and was up pretty early for a Saturday!! Koby watched some football and helped a family move, while I finished up a paper that had been put off for far too long. Koby decided he should get ready for the game after trying to delay it for a while. He left a little bit earlier than I expected, but I guess I should have expected it. While I was enjoying himself in the freezing cold, my mom and I drove up to Logan for a little visit with my grandparents and I had a bridal shower. We did a little shopping and then my mom and grandma dropped me off in Wellsville for the bridal shower. My friend Shara that I met in Ecuador is getting married soon and I was lucky enough to be invited to celebrate with her! Oh, sorry this is getting really long, sorry! After a week plus of hearing about the game it finally ended and I didn't have to be a little anxious to come home! Needless to say I came home to a happy husband!!!
