We're Coming!

I am so excited...we're coming to Utah for Easter. After talking to my Mom I realized if I didn't come in March I wouldn't be able to come until July. That would mean 8 months without seeing my family. No way! So I quickly planned a trip to come and then...I realized Cole gets a day off of work in March so we were able to work it out so he can come too! We will be there March 20-25 (but don't really count the 20th or 25th because we will be in the sky most of the time). I am really excited we will be there for the Easter festivities. I think I will make myself a count down. It is so nice to have something exciting to look forward to. If only we could swing by Pennsylvania too so we could see Cole's family then it would be perfect. We had so much fun there over Christmas and can't wait to get back there.

Valentine's Day

We had a really nice Valentine's day. I made Cole breakfast in the morning. We both made each other cards. Cole's is awesome. He told me it is a 4 bar mechanism. He made it so that you spin one thing and then it changes the words it says. They are discriptive words about me...the catch is they are missing the first letter. Above that he has my name written on a paper that slides back and forth so you have to use one of the letters of my name to start each word. What can I say he is amazing (and romantic)! He also gave me a gift card to Hobby Lobby (my favorite place and I've already spent it:). We went to my favorite place in central Illinois to eat Biaggi's.

It is an italian restaurant and is reallly scrumptous. The neat thing was I always thought it was only here but I read on the back of the menu there is one in Salt Lake City. Whew who!! All you Utah'ans should go try it. Thanks Cole for a special day!

Workshop

This is what my kitchen has turned into.
We don't have any place to do projects so Cole's latest awesome invention has been crafted on my kitchen countertop. The limited counterspace you see is pretty much all the counter space we have. It can be pretty interesting trying to find a space to prepare a meal. I am waiting for the day I find plastic and metal shavings in my food. He uses the little red dirt devil to try to keep it clean as he goes. It has been really fun to watch him make his invention but for now it is top secret!:) It has made us quite antsy to get into a house but we still have two more years of this moving stuff. Next month we should find out where will be moving next June. Cross your fingers for CA or NC!

Snow day and COLE day

Today all the schools are cancelled because we had a big snow storm yesterday. It wouldn't be too big of a deal in Utah but out here snow can be very dangerous. They don't really plow the roads until it is completely done snowing (so it doesn't really work too well). The people that live out in the country don't get plowed out for days and they often close their roads completely. It is really dangerous out there because when the corn is gone the winds get really strong and can blow you off the road. We're just fine and luckily we live really close to CAT so Cole can go to work easily. We live in town so our roads are okay.

Cole kind of gets left out of the blog sometimes so this ones for him.
