SAMOAS!!!

We received a wonderful package in the mail yesterday!!! A large box from the parents! It had a roll of paper towels ( which immediately made it's way to the kitchen!), a beautiful Willow Tree, and Girl Scout Cookies!!! We had been asked for our favorites, and the only cookies i eat ever are Samoas. I have no idea why, but i LOVE those cookies! Jared got his Thin Mints, and i guess the Samoas were for both of us to share.
Yesterday though, the baby and i decided that the Samoas were ours, and Jared would just have to eat the Thin Mints!! :) After eating Samoas while watching The Biggest Looser, the baby and i wrote "Daddy" a note!
This is our new thing here. Usually any sweet,chocolaty,and/or delicious food happens to disappear when Jared gets home from work (and I'm asleep); we now write notes telling Jared the reasons why he should not eat the food. Now, the baby "writes" the notes!! He is reminded that babies need food, and nutrition.It seems to work! Jared only ate 2 or 3 Samoas and then had a some Thin Mints! :)
Besides cookies, we realized that water is not yummy, and since we need a lot we are attempting to find alternatives- fresh lemonade (or lime-ade)is our fave. drink! it allows me to drink all the water i need to drink without it being a chore. I know that I'm weird, but i cannot drink plain water-at least not usually.
We are still looking for apartments, we think we found some and we are going to send the application this week! We're still looking for jobs. Jared will finally have a day off Sunday-- maybe we'll have a date?!? We will be spending the rest of that day doing school stuff and finding jobs. Hopefully all this hard work will be worth it come May!
Bella, our crazy dog, is FINALLY potty trained, she now barks and goes to the door when she needs to go out. She still LOVES socks- mostly Jared's socks. Even though i have to make sure the closet is closed, the dirty laundry is not within her reach, and no socks are left around the room, i am glad she is a "sock- dog" and not a "Shoe-dog"! Besides socks, she has also decided she likes wires. She has successfully chewed through one of Jared's phone chargers and the cord to a massage chair thing Jared had under the bed! And she also likes snow. She's been lucky this year, since it is STILL snowing here in Clovis!
Two more months of New Mexico and of school (For me)! I can't wait! This actually just means that we have 2 months to finish a WHOLE bunch of goals we planned to accomplish-- gah! Prayers are definitely appreciated!
I also can't wait until May 13 to see my mom! So happy all 3 of our parents are coming for my graduation! I really did not expect/ plan for that at all- but it makes me VERY HAPPY!!!
