Is it spring yet?

So I know it sounds crazy coming from me, but is it done snowing? For probably one of the first times in my life I am anxious for winter to end and spring to be here. I just want to be out working in my gardens (fruit, vegetable, and flower). We have started our flower beds because they got overrun with the grass and therefore we had to dig up the whole thing and then replant all my tulips. We haven't gotten very far yet because it takes a while and every other day the forcast says its going to be cold and snowing. Although I can't complain to much because we need the moisture I would just rather prefer rain to snow at this point.

In other news, we are doing good here. Not to much has changed, but I do have an update that we are excited about. Ike found a program that will train him to become a pharmacy tech. He has worked with Pinnacle for a long while and is ready for a stable job where he wont be on call all day every day. Ike really wanted to work in a pharmacy now so that he could get some experience in before he goes to pharmacy school and all that jazz, but UVU doesn't offer a tech program. We thought about going to one of the applied technology schools that you see advertised on TV all the time, but most of those programs are a year or more and it would be crazy to go to 2 different schools at the same time, but we looked into it anyway. Ike just happened to find one of those schools that is across the street from UVU that does a tech program only for BYU and UVU students that are studying to become Pharmacists and here is the kicker, the whole program is completed in 8 weeks. HOORAY!! So he will start that in June and be licensed by the beginning of August. We are so excited for him to have a normal job most likely with benefits ( even more excited about insurance through an employer since last night they passed that dumb healthcare bill).

As for Braydn, he is a very loveable hugable monster. I thought that he got into everything when he started to crawl, but now he walks. For a couple of months now he has been playing with the idea of walking and taking steps here and there, but now you could say he is comfortable because he discovered that walking is faster then crawling and off he goes. I just keep looking at him and thinking your just barely 10 months, aren't you suppose to stay my little baby a bit longer then that? Apparently not.

Also in good news, we don't have to pay taxes this year. We actually get a refund!! YEAH!! Every year we have been married we have had to save up and pay because Ike didn't get any money taken out of his checks for taxes, but this year with everything (house, baby, my job) we get money back which is a really good thing considering that our refund will have to pay the mortgage until Ike gets his Pharmacy tech job and we will both be working. Well that pretty much sums things up for now.
