Provo city center temple

1. We got up stinking early this morning, the moon was still way up in the sky. And went to work in the provo city center temple baptistery! It was a truly beautiful experience and so so much fun to be there with Connor and my mom. I even ran into a sweet friend from my 70’s house singles ward! And sweet Patty Sabey helping all the post semester brides that got married today!

3. Connor is the most amazing husband and he mowed the lawn for me because I’ve been feeling crummy :) 

Webber’s and us

2. Grandpa and Grandma Jaco and Maia met us at the WILK for the second part of Connors graduation! It was great! My dad punched a guy to get a picture of him walking across the stage! 😱

3. We had a delicious lunch outside at our apartment and had a plast celebrating my cute husband! 

#byugrad

1. Connor graduated from BYU today! 

2. We all went out to dinner at wingers and ate till we couldn’t eat anymore! Plus my parents treated us and it was so so nice! Happy graduation to us! 

3. We sat around and made fun of Linnea for awhile after dinner. My mom was rolling on the floor laughing because Courtlandt’s.   Name is actually Benjamin Courtlandt Spear and I started with “wait, he chooses to go by Courtlandt?!” Followed up with my mom suggesting we call him Ben, then erupting in laughter and the Benji poochie song from high school :) 

Barbecuing birth control

1. Ally came over and we made dinner together and talked a lot! 

2. We walked over to Tommy’s for their graduation dinner, barbecue, party thing. I love those people a lot.

2. We worked in the yard together!

Can you evade the virus?

1. Connor and I got invited to a game night at Michael and Christy Mcginnis’ house with Sarah and Wyatt Knechtel as well. It was so much fun and such a wonderful group! Plus we played an escape room game and won so much faster than we were supposed to.

3. I had a pretzel with cheese for dinner. So I’m living my best life. 

Sad and fat.

Hi, some days things just hit you wrong and the rest of the time you are affected is just weird and uncomfortable and awkward. That's how I feel now. I wore Connors shirt to work so I could be comfortable, but it's super not flattering and my pants are weird and I don't like my shoes and I'm irritated about my inability to lose weight. and irritated at my boss for making my front desk team do super ridiculous busy work. I just want to go home and work in the yard, but I'm also irritated at my landlady because she acted like I had all kinds of time to get things done, then made passive aggressive comments last night. I'm on it, lady. Calm down. You know I work all week. I need a vacation. Come on May 25th!

Tired.

1. I went to dinner and shopping with grandma Michele tonight. I freaking love her. 2. She bought me flowers and a wheelbarrow! I can't wait to use that cute wheelbarrow! I've been wanting one for quite awhile. 3. Work passed by quickly today. Kelley Gilson came and sat by Mycah and I and we had fun conversations and laughed most of the day.

Cook ALL the things!

1. We walked to and from church today, it was beautiful outside :)

2. We realized we have zero time for FHE tomorrow so we got trash bags and picked up trash along the road as we walked home from church.

3. Being married to Connor is the absolute best! 

Productive.

1. Connor and I went to a clothing swap kinda thing in Provo today where we just got free clothes. Win win win all the way around. I got three tops and a pair of pants, connor got a pair of pants. 

2. I mowed the lawn! It helps me feel like I’m contributing because I know I’m getting paid for it. It’s nice honest hard work and I love it, I also got a little sun while doing it today so I guess it’s really spring.

3. We helped Spencer and Haley pack up and load a bunch of their things into a trailer along with Tommy, Joseph and Kyle and had lots of fun talking and laughing with them while we did it :) 

I’m tired and sad

1. Ally bought me pizza online and just had it sent to my house. From Lehi. I freaking love that girl. 

2. I pulled a few weeds in the garden to get it prepped for planting in a couple of weeks! I also killed a few snails. Let the snail massacre begin. Gross gross things. 

3. Today was a good day work wise and I had a lot of fun chats with Jena and Lindsay. 

Dude what the weather

1. I cycled and did the elliptical at the gym this afternoon! 

2. I made a mini greenhouse for my tomato and zucchini plants! 

3. I bought shoes that match my cute new dress and metal tongs to use with the grill for Connors graduation party! 

Kennards

1. We helped the kennards load up their moving truck tonight, it was bittersweet. 

2. I did 28 flights of stairs today according to my Fitbit, woo! 

3. I had tillamook cheese and ice cream for dinner, so today was a win. #lactoseintolerant 

Probably getting married

1. Linnea is seriously dating some guy and is so unbelievably happy. Which in turn makes me happy. Plus we’re talking more than we ever have which is also wonderful. 

2. I worked in the yard again, our rent is going to be so cheap this month! It’s gonna be great! Plus it helps that I legitimately enjoy doing the work. 

3. My new swimsuit for our cruise came in the mail!! 

And we’re back

1. I worked 11&1/2 hours today! Woo! Having two jobs is exhilarating. 

2. Connor and I took my wreck this journal on a walk and it got nice and scraped up :) I love that thing. 

3. Jeanice and tanner brought us little baby lemon blueberry cheesecakes while we were working in the yard. They are so sweet. 

Funny story, I put too much oil in the lawn mower so when it started spewing black smoke out the side we had to turn it on it’s side and empty it into a drip pan. Not my best moment, still funny and a fairly easy fix. I’m grateful for this job and being able to problem solve this way. Especially my cute husband who makes it so much easier to be responsible. 

Day five, try not to live in a hive

1. I slept WAY in today and was still tired, which made me think I worked really hard yesterday! Woo! Go me! 

2. Two people announced their pregnancies in our ward today, I think that’s always fun. 

3. I didn’t have to cook anything for dinner! 

4. We had friendly home evening at the colony and I’m so sad it’s ending, but so grateful for all those wonderful souls we’ve become so close to. 

5. It wasn’t too hot today. Walking outside in a T-shirt was still a bit chilly! 

Day four, break down the doors

1. I slept in this morning 

2. It poured rain all day long!! 

3. Tommy, Connor and I drove up to help ally and her family as they demo most of their new house. We scraped up lots of lenoleum and wood flooring. It made me want a house and not all at once. 

4. I bought ice cream for dinner. 

5. I took a quick nap when we got home because I was so sore and tired from all that hard labor. 

What a lovely day with a few of my very favorite people. 

Day three wee

1. I watched a lot of pride and prejudice and stayed up much too late. 

2. It was Donnas birthday today so she bought us all lunch! 

3. PT went SO well today! I mean, it kicked my trash, but in a good way and I got bumped down to once a week!

4. I went to a greenhouse and oh my goodness it smelled divine and happy in there.

5. I got to chat with Jena and Linda today and felt successful in that. It’s weird being a supervisor sometimes. I have to relearn how to interact with people. 

Day two new

1. I left work early and went to the temple with Connor to do sealings! 

2. One of the sisters that was doing sealings with us told me in the locker room how much it was obvious that my husband loved me :) turns out one of the gentlemen told Connor the same thing about me in the locker room haha

3. I got to help Jill come back after surgery and make brownies for donnas birthday tomorrow so Jill doesn’t have to on her bum foot.

4. I took a 15 minute nap and Connor was my alarm clock, it was wonderful. 

5. Melissa had only good things to say in my one on one with her today. Especially that I’m a different person since she gave me some negative feedback a few months ago. I’m so happy for that and I’ve been trying so hard. 

6. I made paper chains counting down till our cruise and we walked one over to Tommy’s apartment, laughed with them for a few minutes then had a nice walk home 🖤♥️

Life is great. I’m so happy with today.
