update, update, read all about it!

::Feb 22^nd-Chris texted me and asked if I wanted to see how much jello we could all eat before he went into the MTC. Sure Chris, why not? So, Monday night I made 8 boxes of jello. We had 4 boxes of blue flavor and 4 boxes of peach flavor. People, that is 16 cups of jello! I must be one nice sister.

::Feb 23^rd-Chris flew into SLC so he could go into the MTC on Wednesday. We went bowling with him as a last hurrah. We also took him out for his last supper at Red Robin. (Don’t worry, we did eat jello, too!) Brent and I thought it would be kinda fun to have a piñata to break open to celebrate him going to Mexico. It was freezing and a huge pain to hang up, but it was funny. Chris ended up stabbing the piñata with the broom and all the candy came out.

::Feb 24^th-we took Chris to the MTC. It was an interesting experience that’s for sure. We parked in a lot so we could take a couple pictures by the MTC sign. Afterwards, we drove through the gates to drop him off. There were so many missionaries standing outside along the curb with tags that said HOST. We got to our spot on the curb, got out his luggage, and his host said, “That’s it!” We gave him a quick hug and Elder Jackson was whisked away. It was weird. He was ready to go and he was really excited. He is going to be an awesome Elder and Mexico is lucky to get him for 2 years. (PS. Mom didn’t send him with a coat because it wasn’t on his list. It kinda makes sense since he is going to Mexico, but while he is in Provo for 9 weeks, he will be cooooold. The poor kid was freezing! We got him a coat and he should have gotten it this morning. Don’t you worry!)

::Feb 26^th-Brent and I went to the ballet! Awhile ago, I told Brent I would love to go to a performance on campus that was on. We missed it. So, in order to make up for it, Brent took me to the ballet at the Covey Center for the Arts. It was amazing. The show wasn’t too long (which was good for Brent) but it had a great story. It was called Legend of Timpanogos. Utah Regional Ballet performed it and it was so neat. There was a love story, there were boys fighting over the girl, there were sad parts, there were happy parts, and there was beautiful dancing. I love Brent for taking me. He earned some major points.

::Brent and I have been on a few walks lately. It is so much fun! Most recently, Brent walked me to this park. However, he kinda had to use the bathroom, so we didn’t stay. Ha! We will go back however.

::Brent is busy with school work. He is doing his homework (mostly) and keeping up with classes. I am so proud of him for doing so much hard work! He is such a good boy. He is also working a LOT. Good for the bank, but sad for me.

::I am looking for a full time job for next year. I am anxiously awaiting districts to start putting jobs up. Is it too much to ask that I get a full time job? I didn’t think so. Haha!

::We are very much in love and are blessed in so many ways. I have the greatest husband on Earth and am lucky to have him.
