happy april!

I'm so glad it's finally April. That means spring, and then summer! Although it actually snowed on Sunday for some reason and ruined my dreams just as it was warming up. Boo. We were feeling extra spring-y on Saturday (right before the snow...) and decided to go to the botany pond at BYU and feed the ducks before going to Cafe Rio for dinner. It was quite the adventure. Those ducks are really tame, which isn't all that surprising since people always come here to feed the ducks...and have their special couple time on the benches. But there were so many! Ducks that is, not couples. There were some (especially the big ones that might have been geese...or just fat) that would eat the bread right out of our hands...which was cool but a little bit scary. Those things have huge beaks, and it seems like they have teeth too. Yikes.

This one was my favorite. It was also a greedy little pig.

An example of a scary goose/duck and how they would fly up to eat the bread out of our hands.

The pictures of ourselves are always separate because we don't have anyone to take pictures for us, and we sure weren't about to ask a cuddly couple to do it for us.

Anyway, so this weekend is General Conference. As such, Eric has not one but TWO mission reunions on Friday night! He's pretty excited. I guess I am too, but I wasn't in Iowa with these people for two years, so I'll probably just stand by the food table a lot. Eric's excited he gets to see all his old mission buddies though.

Let's see, other good news...I made spinach quiche last night and it was yummy, and my bike is supposed to get here tomorrow! We'll see if it actually does or not. Oh, and the old exhibit is coming down this Friday! That means we're getting so much closer to installing and opening the new kachina exhibit...ahhhh!!!

I'M SO MAD ABOUT THIS WHOLE ENTRY!!! Okay, not really. In fact, it may be the best blogspot post I've seen.

In other news, I'd love to volunteer and teach English with you! When do you start? What do I need to do to sign up?
