Another update :)

The past few weeks have been crazy and flown by!  Not to mention most of which I was either throwing up or coughing my brains out, but now I am feeling SO much better!  Well enough to post an update!~


Ted's work had spirit week, he dressed up every day of the week for the different themes, even twin day when his planned twin got sick and didn't even show up to work and left ted in a funny outfit!  ha ha!
Hawian day...all his friends were laughing saying Ted probably even wears a tie to the beach since he is always so dressed up.  Well he proved them right!  
NCAA day.  Ted wore his BYU jersey.
That's right!  It is real - Ted's sister played for the BYU girls team and gave Ted one of her jerseys. 

 Ted needed a car part in a rush and the only place in AZ with the part was in west west phx in the middle of no where.  The most amazing place ever!  Have you ever seen American pickers!!??  This place topped any of those!  And full of just antique VW car parts!  This guy knew where all of his parts were he didn't even hesitate to climb over piles and say it is right here.  So great!
So many great restored bugs under those tarps!  IN LOVE!
My new friend Kevin, I took a secret picture he was SO nice!
It even went out back!
A green ghia like Ted's!  I want it~!  Convertible too!
It says on the top "give love not drugs," classic!
My earnings from the trip, super cheap and hard finds!

The amazing AZ moon!

Lola and I watched a lot of the March Madness Bball games while I was sick.
(I think she watched trying to get a glimpse of her wanna be boyfriend Butler Blue the bulldog)

Lola and I have been taking lots of walks, here we took a break and she loves to sun bathe!  She didn't want to go in.  Gotta love the AZ SUN!

Ted went on his 5 day trip to Pepperdine to a few crazy days of 12+ hours of school a day (straight in a class room!)  So I did what I do best...BAKED!  I made Ted's grandpa a raisin pie.  He has always said if I can make that for him I then can be a true baker.  I have to admit I didn't think it would be good...a raisin pie??!!  But it was pretty good much like an apple pie...

Made 2 cheese cakes.  One with raspberries baked in and one with strawberries.
Ted's sister Julie loves cheesecake so I tried them out for her bday.  One to taste just to make sure I wasn't giving her crap!  Ha ha

And I didn't take a picture of the chocolate applesauce cake I made for myself and ate 3 pieces for dinner on Saturday....yumm! 

While Ted was gone I got Lola a new toy she loved

And my mom sent me a gift card through email and she went shopping with me on the phone to buy my very own pair of TOMS!  Love them! Thanks mom!

I also started to decorate the front room.  Much harder than imagined.  I kept the pillows from this picture, took back the rug, it was kinda blah!

I like the pillows though.  I will have to take pics I got new drapes and another rug.  Now we need a coffee table and big pic for above our bookshelf, but I am getting there! But need a little break....

Ted's uncle came and visited lonely me.  He brought Ted a present.  Ted loves antique clocks like this and Uncle Wade found one for Ted, we love it!

The END!
