Tonight Brad, Jared, and I went to the movies to see the new Fast Five movie from The Fast and the Furious series. I was so good and I LOVED it!!! The plot, action, and stunt work were a thing of beauty. What made it even better was the theater audience which was very lively. Apparently, Chloe was a very good baby for good friends of ours who were nice enough to babysit for us. Tomorrow morning we heading to Tooele to spend time with my family and go to my sister's baby shower!

Here's Chloe being a couch potato since both she and I caught a cold. We've been enjoying watching Parking Wars and Pawn Stars. Brad was able to come home for lunch and I made a fun chicken tortilla casserole, which was very experimental but turned out really good.

Chloe got a special package in the mail today from my Aunt Holly and her family that turned out to be the cutest thing I have ever seen. It's a horse suitcase that can turn into a backpack! Chloe really loves it, but I'm plum crazy about it!!! I can't wait for her to use it. We'll be sure to take it down to Las Vegas next month when we visit Brad's parents and little sister, Krista. As soon as we pulled it out of the box, Chloe carried it all around the apartment. Thank you Holly, Derrick, Parker, and Heather!!!

Today I gave Chloe her first real hair cut. I didn't want to take off any length but I did want to tidy it up and trim her bangs since they were always in her eyes. The picture is of her right before the trim. I have been having a super great day today because I clean and scrubbed every inch of our apartment, including Chloe. I also have a pork roast in the crock pot, which smells amazing! Now we're about to leave to run some errands around town. I'm SO happy that Brad is all done with school!!!! Hip Hip Horay!! I feel like celebrating and congratulating him every day. Every day he comes home from work now he can spend time with Chloe and I and even take me out on regular dates!!

HAPPY EASTER!!!! Here's Chloe and I on our way to church! She wore her beautiful Easter dress again and everyone complimented her on it and how cute she looked in pig tails.

Today was such a great day! Early this morning Brad went on an Elder's Quorum shooting activity with all his buddies and then took his last exam. He's officially DONE with school!! (Until he starts his master's degree in a couple years). We're SO happy!! Now he's going to have so much more free time after work and on weekends. Brad and I are going to get back to going on regular dates together. It's going to be amazing. This evening, Alyssa came over and we made Easter-themed cupcakes that turned out so cute! We made little chick cupcakes and nest cupcakes with little eggs on top. We had a blast and fed Chloe a lot of leftover candy :)

Tonight Brad had his final presentation in his Capstone Simulation class and then took me on a spontaneous date to the movies. After tomorrow, he will be officially done with his bachelor's degree!!! YAY! I'm so excited to have a husband again since his school and work schedule has kept him MIA lately. It was so fun to see a late night movie tonight after Chloe went to bed and Jared took care of her while we were gone. We saw Unknown and really enjoyed it. As we were leaving the theater I ran into a little plastic ball that was rolling around. It had a big black rat in it and I figured some customer must have forgotten it. It's hard to think of an explanation for a rat rolling around in a ball in a movie theater. I was about to take it to the concession's stand as a "lost and found" but a nice couple behind me said they have seen that rat before. We came to the conclusion that it belonged to the theater and was their special pet that "rolls" around all day. Our conclusion was confirmed when I caught the eye of one of the employees who had been watching us with a smile, undoubtably enjoying our confusion and surprise at finding a rat at our feet. It was definitely a fun and memorable evening. Oh yeah, and I made strawberry shortcake this morning and have been eating it all day :)
