Shummer!!!!
....So, I bet you all thought that I was dead. Well, I almost did die. Finals kicked my trash. And since I survived I feel that I deserve to take this time to tell you all about my near death experience. It begins with a slice of advice: Never take Engineering classes with Landscape Architecture. They are both extremely time consuming, and will infact quickly zap any hint of life, or life that you used to have, or dream of ever having out of you. I'll show you a before and after picture of this semester. I now have grey hair, and dentures, and drink a weekly supply of insure. Poor Don.
But, good news. I have a new little nephew. Austin and Jenica had another baby (the first one, BrinLeigh is walking now) and Hunter Miles Goodwin was born about two weeks ago, the day after my great-grandmother Rawson died. He is so handsome, and cute!! I love babies.
Speaking of which, Aubrey and I have a lot of fun with her daughter, Madeline. A little while ago we went and flew kites, she liked it. Actually she was more interested in eating grass, but she liked it. And I'm her favorite aunt because we do cool things together, like go see Pride and Prejudice (her first movie), shopping, eating popcicles (for the first time yesterday), and she likes to eat the strawberry shortcake bubble bath too.

Spring Break
Hola! Everyone!!
I've been repremended for not updating my blogspot sooner. Pardon mwa. I've been a little busy.
First off, we had spring break. Now we had planned this exciting get-a-way for two. Coyote Gulch, not bathing for three days, eating freeze dried Neopolitan (Don calls it Metropolitan) ice cream, etc.
But instead there was a tragedy in our family. Aidan and Racquel's baby died. She was nine months along. So we attended a funeral. Enough said on that.
Don's cousin recieved his endowments a few days after that, because he was getting married the next day.
Then last weekend Don's grandpa (actually his great-uncle, but he never knew his grandpa) had a heart attack, and everyone feared the worst. But he pulled through after some extensive surgery (it was like a 5 bypass surgery, insane.) So, I'm pretty sick of the hospital. My great-grandma Rawson is also dying. Her kidneys failed two weeks ago, so it won't be long.
So, it's been bitter-sweet. we've done a lot of driving and a lot of visiting with family. It's been nice to see everyone, because we're kind-of cut off in Logan.
I'm excited for Conference though, we're going to go to the Conference center with my cousin Shauna and her husband who live up here as well. And then next weekend we're going down to Vegas for a wedding. Whew!! So life is just crazy, and it's nice just to sit down at the computer and sort it all out.
I'm excited for school to get out. I think we have about 6 weeks left, or somewhere around there. In any case, I have spring fever really bad. And I just want to go and play. So, I've made a list of things that I'm going to do when summer starts:
1) wear flip-flops
2)read a novel
3)BBQ
4)stick toes in the sandy beach of Bear Lake
5)Go backpacking at Havasupai
(Don promised me when we got married he'd take me there, and I'm holding him to it---we're planning a trip there A.S.A.P.)
That's all I have so far, I have all of the important things. I realized I really don't have any summer traditions (other than packing all of my stuff into boxes and moving them across the state, and we might even do that again this year, because we're looking at different apartments that are a lot nicer...I'm just weary of leaving our nice, down-to-earth ward and being stuck with a bunch of snots.) So if any of you have any summer traditions, let me know!!
Chao!

Chacos and Chinese
So, yesterday was National Pancake Day, and I conned Don into going and getting some pancakes at IHOP, it was pretty fun, they gave us a free short stack. Sweet. I love National Pancake Day. Since this is my first blogspot post I thought that I'd start it with that important and profound fact.
This last weekend Don and I went to his step-brothers wedding at the Manti Temple. It was pretty neat, it was the first time I'd ever seen a sealing (besides my own). It's so beautiful and simple. It was so neat to see Donald's family, and we took some really neat pictures of his brothers and sisters, and Donna and Bruce. We'll have to send those via snail mail, since a blog spot wouldn't do it justice.
On Monday dad came and visited us in Logan, he had a meeting scheduled in Ogden the next day, so he stopped by and visited his two favorite daughters (sorry Ash, you would've found out eventually) and favorite Chinese food restaurant in Utah--Madarin Gardens.
Don and I are planning on going backpacking in Coyote Gulch in two weeks for sping break, and were pretty excited about it. He bought me a pretty, new "hippie love-child" sleeping bag and new shoes, which I wore today to try and break them in, and froze my toes off.
