Think your husband is cool?

Look what mine did:

Seriously.  He made this.  On our new sewing machine that I got for graduation (even cooler because he gave up his graduation gift so that I could get it).  His mom and grandma helped pick out the fabric which I LOVE.  This picture really does not do it justice.  It is made out of minkee so it is soft and each color has a different texture.  It feels awesome when you touch it.

Also, it should be noted that said blanket was made in a few short hours AND it was the first thing he has ever made on a sewing machine AND basically the first time he has ever even used one.  This is what happens when you leave a husband home alone for a week with a brand new toy.  I decided that it really does not matter what the toy is, it will be played with.  

I'm a little nervous to start my own sewing projects, I don't know if I can live up to this.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my life?  I have the greatest husband.

Spring Break

I love going home.  The last few months have seriously flown by and this week has been the first week I have had a chance to breathe (ok...so I can't really breathe...the little girl inside me has completely taken over the area under my rib cage and basically set up shop on top of my lungs...if you want proof, ask to see the bruises).  Not only did I get a break from 25 six and seven year olds, but from the miserable weather that has not let up for a few weeks in Utah.  I could hardly contain my excitement from the airplane when I looked out to see a blue sky and a sun which I swear I have not seen in months.  My class has literally started refusing to do the weather during calendar time because, "it never changes Mrs. Campbell."

I spent the week hanging out with my family, mostly my mom because the brothers are still in school and the dad apparently has to go to work....lame.  I helped my dad plant his garden (which is super cool and even contains dirt from his own 2 year compost), went to my brothers' track meet (they are super studly they both run under 4:40 miles...crazy), got a little sunburnt, met up with an old friend, and visited this sweet boy and his cute parents.  It was a great week and I am sad that I have to leave tomorrow but excited to be back with Rob.  He finally got a little taste of what is was like to be home alone (although mine was a lot worse)...not so fun.  If it weren't for Matt, I think he would have starved the whole week.
