April.

Another finals week has graced us with it's presence. I'm not the one taking the finals, but I do feel the stress Zach has when preparing and taking them. Let's here it for another semester coming to an end! This month has been wild. We did a turn around trip to California last week. Turn around trips are exhausting. We left on wednesday night a little after midnight, and headed towards Saint George. I drove after my 12 hour shift...at 5am we were in bed. Being back at the burger joint I work 12 and 13 hour shifts...fun stuff. Adding the day we left and the day just before, I worked over 24 hours. Craaay cray. But I'm still young.

On thursday I gave my parents a big hug. It felt so good to be home! I have to give a shout out to my mom who has lost over 20 pounds and looks amazing! She has literally worked her butt off, and it has paid off. I am so proud of her! Nothing beats being home with family. We went out to eat and got to catch up on all the things we've been up to. Lots of stuff happening in the family. GOOD things. I spent all of friday with my mom and dad. We went out to lunch and I took some pictures of the them. I just love my parents, they are so happy and full of love.

While I was with my mom and dad, Zach partied it up with some friends for a bachelor party. Our best friends wedding was the main reason we went to California..Saturday we got to attend Kyle and Liahona's temple sealing. Our best friends were married in the Los Angeles temple, where Zach and I were married, and they looked so happy and beautiful! We loved spending their special day with them. After the wedding we headed back to Rancho for some more party time. Receptions are so much fun! They put together a beautiful reception with delicious food and yummy desserts. We had such a great night dancing and celebrating with the Braby's! We are so lucky to have such great friends in our lives.

Recently we have welcomed Spring to the neighborhood. It's about time! I almost shed a tear when I saw blossoms on our trees out front...could it really be true?! Well it is, and now outside our window it is so green and fresh. I love Springtime! 

 For my birthday weekend Zach and I headed to See's for our one pound from Grandma and Grandpa. Then we went out to see Robocop at the dollar theater. After the movie we ate at The Pie, a pizza joint in town, it's pretty tasty. On my actual Birthday we went to church, I baked cupcakes, took a long nap, and Zach made me dinner. We ended our night playing a board game that I get way to competitive at and called it a night. It was the perfect day really. I got to hear from my loved ones and was wished a happy day. Life is wonderful. 

This month still has lots more to come! Wednesday is my love's birthday! Then saturday will bring us to our one year anniversary! It's a month full of celebration in the Walton home. Happy Monday! This is what we've been up to...
