Mother's Day

I hope you all had a great Mother's Day weekend!  The Utah weather was beautiful!  It finally feels like summer is finally here.  My little sister and I went on a hike up to Bell Canyon Reservoir and had a blast.  Such a pretty time of year on the mountains. 

 

 

On Mother's Day I had to work the brunch at the hotel, but that went by quickly. We stopped by Randy's grandma's and aunt's houses to drop off flowers for them, and then had dinner, played cards and watched Star Trek with my awesome family.  I love family time and wish we did it more.

 

Yesterday's holiday fits nicely into my latest Randy story, although this is not an announcement.  I am not a mother and I am not intending to be one for some time yet.  Let's just get that straight...

 

A couple of months ago, Randy asked me if we could start packing lunches.  Since he drives around in his tow truck all day, he usually stops for fast food or loads up on snacks at the gas station.  Sunflower seeds and Big Macs aren't really cutting it for my pre-wedding health plan.  So I agreed to start buying things to pack him a lunch. 

 

I've discovered that Randy likes to eat just like a little kid - but in larger quantities.  So the other week, I'm unloading my grocery cart and the cashier looks at my items and says, "Packing lunches?" Yup.  "How old are your kids?"  33.

 

Based on the items I buy, her question did not surprise me. 

My answer, however, probably surprised her!

 

A typical lunch - with 2 PB&J's.  1 just isn't enough...

 

Oh yes. My fiance keeps my inner child alive and well.

Getting Caught Up

In all fairness - I told you I was a terrible blogger!  I honestly mean it when I say I will try to be better.  So let's see... what's been happening in the 4 months I've been absent?

 

In January, we took a mini-vacation up to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho for Randy's birthday.  We played community bingo and had a grand ol' time!  Way to turn 33 in style baby!

 

Last month was my birthday.  Randy seemed very excited to have me open his present (a big bag with the words You Rock on the outside - he picked it out himself).  I found paper clips, binder clips, collapsible folders and a label maker.  ....Although I do love to organize, I was slightly confused as to why he got me a label maker.  Turns out it was a gag gift to throw me off the scent. He really got me a brand new laptop!!  I just took the GMAT and will be applying to start an MBA program in the spring, so he thought I'd need a new computer to help me in my studies.  So very thoughtful xo

 

I also secretly love the label maker. So does Randy.  He secretly labeled my phone 'SUCKER' and I didn't realize it until I got home that night.  A whole day of holding my sucker phone up to my ear...

 

Also in April - we welcome two new members to our family!  My mom's brother Daryl and his wife Laura welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Lily.  Randy's sister Angela and husband Lennon welcomed baby #2, Logan who joins big sis Baylee.  We loved getting to hold the lil guy!

 

 

I cannot for the life of me think of really anything exciting that we did...  Most our lives have been filled with wedding planning =)  We're focusing on all the details now.  This week alone we've picked a florist, decided on a menu and looked at proofs for our invitations.  I have a feeling the next 4 months are just going to fly by!

 

I really should have kept up on this to remember all the funny things Randy does. I'm saving a few for their own posts, but one thing I find adorable...

 

Randy has developed a love for Rubber Duckies.  He buys them for all our friends who have babies, and decided he apparently needed some of his own.  But these are special duckies...

 

Biker duckies - for tough guys only!
