Our first Easter together!!! We played the Greek egg cracking game, we'll have to post pictures next year because we forgot to take them. I taught TJ how to say "Christ is risen" in Greek which TJ excitedly tells everyone a little different every time. Being away from home on Easter I wanted to have my mom's scalloped potatoes, unfortunately I forgot/didn't know you were supposed to soak the potatoes in cold water, and well as you can see when I opened the tin foil a couple hours later, I was horrified at our mud colored potatoes which we served at family dinnery, yikes!

Here we have some awesome flowers outside our front door, I have no idea what they are called but when it is snowing they look like tulips and when the sun comes out they look like this


One of my best friends gave us a sushi set from Japan for our wedding, TJ surprised me on our 3 month anniversary with a tulip and sushi stuff, this was our first attempt, Thank you Neals!!!


TJ and I are both taking photography classes right now, this is TJ's eye, I may be a bit biased but it is the most light filled beautiful eye I've ever seen. That is the first thing I ever noticed about him, sigh.

This was my first time skiing, an awesome outdoorsy couple in our ward The Graphs told us about free skiing after 3 at Alta and told me that her skiis really wanted to get out on the slopes, I came home one night and TJ had picked them up, neither of us had been skiing or snowboarding since 2004/2005 ish. We went up and down the bunny hill a three times and then headed to the greens. I was worried about hurting my knees but after a while I got over-confident. Eventually I didn't turn one skii as fast as the other and flipped over my head, I was so impressed that my knees didn't get hurt that I gained a little more confidence and learned to turn my skiis appropriately. I LOVED skiing!!!! Thank you Graph's and TJ! Oh and in case you were wondering what kind of goggles TJ is wearing those would be swimming ones, but I hear TJ is a pretty mean skiier which doesn't surprise me because he is gifted in every physical and athletic way.
Besides that we are just working and going to school, TJ is done in 2 weeks and I graduate in one month!!!
