Oh what do you do in the Springtime?

I realized I kept checking everyone else's blogs but I haven't updated ours for months. So here is what we have been doing in the springtime:

Graduate-Karl and I ended up being in the same commencement book, so that was fun. We have both officially graduated from BYU...and neither of us walked. We'll have to do that the next time around.

Go to Weddings- My cousin got married over reading days so that was fun. My family came up and I got to see my Virginia cousins for the first time in about 10 years. It was time and we had a blast.

Spend time with Family-

Cami came up with the kids awhile ago and we got to babysit one night. I love Maddy's face in this one. We watched Tangled with them and heard all about "mommy scary", "horsey funny" and the "pincess".
Then my family came up for the wedding so we got to hang out. Tay was in heaven playing games at Boondocks with Karl. It was so great seeing everyone.

I just love my family.

Take Finals- Because the wedding took place over my reading days I didn't really study for my finals. And it showed on my test results. However, my last test went well and at least I am done with my third semester of Nursing school. That means I get my first summer off in like three years. And I'm pretty sure I passed my classes so we should be good to move on to my last semester in the fall!

Play Football-
Yes, Karl is playing football in about a foot of snow. He is in a league right now so we get to go to his games on Saturdays. This Saturday we woke up to a little snow in Draper. I swear everywhere in Salt Lake County got dusted with snow except this field in Midvale, which got tons. But on the bright side it was pretty warm despite the snow. And for the first time Karl wasn't bleeding by the end of the game because the snow padded his falls. He always has to rush the QB so he is usually diving and slipping all over the place, but he is really fast and gets a lot of sacs, so I guess he thinks it's worth it.

And finally GOALBALL-

This was our life the past weekend. Karl and I went to help with the Western Region Tournament for Goalball (at least I am pretty sure that's what it was). Karl was able to ref and I got to help at the table doing the clock, scorecards, timing, and everything else. The best part was during this game. This is from the gold medal match for the men. Karl was on the court trying to fix the tape while the teams had a time out. Karl was bent over with his back to us when one of the players started running to his position. All the players are visually impaired to begin with, but during the medal matches they also have to have patches over their eyes and blacked out masks to make sure they can't see a thing. Needless to say, this is not a good time to be running around a gym. So this kid is booking it to his spot and totally trips over Karl. Karl gets kneed in the head and this kids goes flying. Then right after that another player (who was not running but also can't see a thing) is getting into position and head butts Karl. I felt so bad for him but I was laughing my head off. I wish I had gotten that on film but my poor description will just have to do.

So that's what we have been up to lately. Karl, Rachel, and Nic made me a nice ice cream cake for my birthday. Karl's been busy with work. And now I get to look for jobs. Life couldn't get any better.
