Winter is officially over

It feels so good to be done with finals! I will always remember the semester I thought taking 17 credits was a good idea. It has definitely been the most trying semester of my life, but now I only have one more left! I can't believe I'm almost done :) Me and Tyler had a great weekend! We had a picnic in the park Saturday afternoon with Leslie, Emma and Jackie. It was so hot, we were only out there for an hour and I got sunburned. It was well worth it to play with those cuties. They have awesome parents, they are seriously the happiest kids I know. They make me and Tyler so eager to start our family. We love our Sunday school class so much,  we might be few in numbers but we have the sweetest kids who are learning so much. I am always so sad when I think that we only have five more months here with them. We are very excited to go back to California but I have to admit we are going to miss Texas more than I thought we would. We have made some good friends down here and there is nothing like Southern hospitality. I never get tired of being "blessed" after going to the grocery store. Oh and we were very pleased to have a Rita's ice open up near us this weekend. This was one of our favorite dessert places in Arizona and it was so nice to have one here in Texas. We are so excited to celebrate Easter with Tyler's cousin and his wife and kids this weekend. Holidays are always better with some excited little kids around! Happy Easter from the Young's!

Conference Weekend in the Young House

This was such a great weekend for me and Tyler. Last October would have been our first time watching conference as a married couple but I got the WORST sunburn of my life and was on pain killers all weekend so that one doesn't really count. It was so sweet to snuggle up on our couch in our little apartment and hear the words of our prophet and apostles. Tyler knows just how to get me out of bed and surprised me with some of my favorite treats including the sweetest fruit tart from a little bakery called Cafe La Madeline. Tyler went to Priesthood session with some of our friends and I was able to have a girls night with Karen Couch! We really loved and needed a quite weekend with finals coming up for me next week. I am SO relieved to be done with this semester of classes, I will never again take 17 credits in one semester. I never could have gotten through the semester without the help and support of Tyler. He is so good about helping me with my studies and not objecting to Chipotle salads for dinner when I am too busy to cook dinner. We are coming up on our first year anniversary and I can't believe how fast time flies! Sometimes I feel like we were just dating and other times when I think of how much we have accomplished in this short year I feel like we have been married for five years. Tyler is the best husband I could have ever asked for and he makes me the best version of myself I could have ever aspired to. I love him more and more each day. I just wanted to share my favorite blurb from conference this April:
