April Affairs

The Foley's have liked April.  Find out why:

•  I graduated. Convocation was super long and I didn't even get to sit by people I knew for those three hours, but it was a nice rite of passage. I'm very happy to be an alum.

Woohoo!

• We saw the Hunger Games.  Scott continues to ask me about characters named Candice and Pita (pronounced Pit-uh).  I think he needs to read the books.
• We're making big improvements on our backyard.  We were planning to do the whole thing this year, but then we realized that would be a lot of work.  So the plan is scaled back but still in action. 
•  Now that it's April, we've come to terms with the fact that some of our New Years' Resolutions are just not happening.  So we're trying again with new health goals (aka a diet).  It's not a weight loss diet.  It's a we-ate-too-much-Easter-candy-and-got-sick diet.  So, we're off of sugar for a while.  On day 2 of said diet, Scott asked how long we were going to be doing this.  Haha. 
• We've been on some "classy" dates lately.  First, we went to Five Guys, which was filled with a million families with a minimum of seven kids each.  On top of that, one of the workers was slapping 50 lb. bags of potatoes on a bench right next to us.  It was really romantic.  On another date, we went to Yogurtland for our new monthly sugar fix.  It was packed, so we ended up sitting next to a pile of rubbish on the strip between the parking lot and University Parkway.  It might have been classier than sitting next to the potato hauler, but then cars began pulling in and shining headlights on us.

This is where we ate our yogurt.  Next to the busted UTA sign.

• The ward talent show is coming up.  Normally I'd head for the hills at first mention of one of these things, but this year I'm going to be in it.  I'd like to say that this is happening out of the goodness of my heart, but I have some other motives.  (My visiting teachees are planning it, which means the "Can we do anything for you?" question was actually utilized this month.  Also, I'm not-so-secretly hoping for a new calling.  Piano callings are the best!)
• We spent Easter with the Bruening's.

  

  Notice my siblings have a basket, a giant stocking, and a pumpkin to collect eggs in.

• Spring is gorgeous in Utah.

• My sunbeam lesson today was about having bodies.  We, of course, drew bodies on the board.  I wish I had erased them before the parents arrived...

The girl in charge of drawing the hair claimed that she was giving them Rapunzel hair.  Has she seen that movie???
