Only a month?

So it's been just over a month since I updated this last and WOW a lot has happened. Let's see if I can remember back that far. I have a ton of pictures I could load as well. Right after my last post John's sister and niece was here for a week. She was out at my in-laws but she was in AZ.

While they were here did dinner with John's uncle from Chicago one night and some of that side of the family we see about once a year, but always have so much fun with. We went to San Tan Flats and went to Tombstone ;-) and who knows what else. It was our finance appreciation week at work so one day they took us all to a spring training game. Couldn't tell you who played or who won, but it was a great day to be outside and get sunburned!

Kim, Brittany, and I went to Tombstone one day. We were going to go to Karchner Cavern but couldn't get the tour we wanted. We also stopped at John's cousin's house in Casa Grande on the way home and had dinner with their family.

Let's see... John started his new job the first of April. It was a busy end at Harley with bike week and so far I think he's liking his new job alright and I know he's liking not working weekends because we've been SO busy every weekend so far.

I was in class also at that time. I'm done with that class now, just waiting for my grade to post. I'm out for 4 weeks and the time off is flying by!

Also about this time Nick started interviewing with University of Phoenix and the next thing we know they are moving down here. They'll be here mid-May. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I want it to be a good move for them and I'm worried about all the logistics and everything with moving. I think it is a good move career wise but I just don't know that everyone has bought into the idea.

We knew it would be nice if they were close enough for us to car pool....so I found a house 6 houses down. Again, excitement and apprehension at the same time... John and I have enjoyed our independence since moving down here 5 years ago. So just staying positive and getting ready for them to move down!

We've managed to stay super busy this past month with car shows, bike shows, and lots of As You Wish. For Bart's birthday we went to As You Wish and found out how much fun it is to paint pottery! We've been back since then and plan on going again soon. It's a learning experience everytime because we have learned that we need more time than we allot. On Bart's birthday I was also introduced to Sprinkles. I have read about Sprinkles in magazines and I love them. I would drive to Scottsdale once a week for a half dozen any time.

That doesn't sound like a whole lot typing it up but it keeps us busy! This coming month doesn't seem to be slowing down either. My mom will be here next weekend and we have some pottery painting, maybe a pedicure, a movie, some indoor skydiving, and who knows what else!! Then two weeks later Nick and Shar will be moving. I've also got a date that weekend for Tyler's wedding some of the peeps from BoA!

Of course I'll be starting class again in there too, we haven't even thought about Memorial day weekend! And most importantly Friday I'm taking a motorcycle class with the option to do a trapeze class in a week or so... should be fun!
