It was SO nice being away from work for a week. I sure did need it. I spent most of the time hanging out with my little brothers and my mom. I just wish Jared had had the week off too.
This past weekend we went to Utah. We really went because the youth in our ward were going. When they planned the trip they didn't even have tickets. All the youth and leaders had a special fast on the 25th that they might be able to get tickets. Well, the night before they left the Relief Society president called and said her friend had 15 tickets for each of the 3 sessions on Saturday. The boys were really cute when they were telling us about it.
When the boys went into town I stayed back at the house with my mother in law, Leslie. I had a nice time just talking to her. I've never had one on one time with her and I really enjoyed it. Then Jess brought the girls over and I got to play with them. It was SO MUCH FUN! We played Easter Egg hunt for like 45 mins. Then we played house and read some books. I forgot how fun my nieces are. I was so lucky to inherit 5 (now 6) beautiful nieces and I'm so excited for a nephew. I was supposed to meet up with a friend that evening but I didn't want to leave Rylee and Tayler. I was having way to much fun. I taught Rylee how to give "knuckles" (a.k.a "pound it") and to flick water at Julie. (sorry to teach her bad habits Jess) But she was so cute doing it.Rylee was also my little buddy for the day. Once she warmed up to me she wouldn't leave my side. It made me feel really loved. Julie and I also taught Tayler how stop a soccer ball when its kicked to you and Julie taught her how to dribble. She was REALLY good actually. I can't wait for the next time I get to see them again. (Jenny, Jared and I are hoping to make it up that way soon.)

Now I'm back to work and stressed out again. I'm trying really hard not to be, but when you have an unsupportive boss its really hard not to be. I'm so thankful for the other great people I work with who are there for me when I'm having a rough day. Isn't it great how the Lord always gives you amazing people in your life to balance out the crummy ones?
Well, my break is over and I"d better get back to work.
LOVE TO ALL!!!!
