Just Another Day in Paradise

Well, the highlight for us was that Brooke did miss a day of work this week. She was not feeling very good and had a cold so she stayed home all day Wednesday to recooperate. She found out she was very grateful for Nyquil. Luckily, Nate didn't get sick because of it. That night that she did get sick was the night that Nate had to play in the pep band at a basketball game. Adams State has a pretty good basketball team so Brooke usually goes to the games with him and cheers on the team. We enjoy doing that. Then on Sunday, we had stake conference and it was so good. The speakers did a good job and we could feel the spirit there so strong. They talked about families alot and it just makes us more and more excited for when we can start our own family. Then later that night, our friends invited us over to dinner and we got to play with their kids and had some good food. We enjoy going over and seeing the Defaye's. They're awesome.
We also have started to enjoy and religiously watch American Idol. Brooke's family loves it and so its fun for us to get involved in it too. Last night, we even skipped the Office so that we could watch the two hour episode, and that says alot because we absolutely love that show. The only real new thing we have is that we are figuring out our trip to Arizona for Spring Break. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Arizona and checking out Flagstaff a little bit. The fact that we are moving makes us more and more excited everyday.
Nate also has a concert coming up this weekend. The faculty at the college in the music department put on a concert and Nate has been asked to play in a brass quintet for the concert. He says the rehearsals are going good and he is also glad because he is going to have the same people help him play for his junior recital later this semester. By the way, if you want to or if you are in the area, Nate's junior recital is on April 19 at 2pm. Its one of his big requirements to graduate. Other than that, life is just normal. We love and miss our family.
