April = Family Month

When we arrived back in Arizona, from our trip to Utah, there was more family waiting for us. David's grandparents came to visit and so did David's cousin Alia and her cute little boy Cameron. David and I are pretty dang lucky to have the best families in the world! Hands down. No contest. We win.

Adam is Home!

Adam returned home from serving in the England, London South Mission. David and I were able to fly up to Utah to welcome him home with the family.

The next few days were filled with good food, laughing at Adam's English accent, Beatles Rockband, listening to Adam tell mission stories, cursing the snow/cold, watching movies, and family togetherness.

 

The grandparents with their favorite grandkids.

Yes, I am the oldest and the shortest.

I'm so glad we were able to be there when Adam came home. It was great to be with my family again. However, it is nice to be back in Arizona where it doesn't snow.

St. Patrick's Day

To celebrate we went to the Arizona Science Center to see this exhibit.

Where we saw things like this.

I thought it was pretty neat. David felt like he was back in anatomy class at BYU. I wish it would have been a larger exhibit with more to see, and a little more interactive. Maybe if we would have paid for the audio tour we would of had more of that interactive feeling. Overall, it was pretty cool. 

After Body World's we were starving. On our way home we stopped at The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. This was my first time eating at The Cheesecake Factory surprisingly. It was good. We had the original cheesecake for dessert and it was really good. Mmmmm, I love cheesecake.

Second day at my new job and what do I do...I sprain my ankle.

It's not even a good story, but it did earn me the title "The new girl that tripped." When I went in to the hospital to get x-rays the tech asked me what happened. I told her that I tripped in the File Room. She replied, "Oh, that was you?!" She wasn't even there when my accident happened and she knew about it!

Night of my accident. Notice the big bump on my left foot?

 

Then it went from this...

 To this...

The doctor said that based on all of the bruising it means I tore a couple of my ligaments. Great. 

The bruising is almost completely gone. I don't have to use crutches anymore. It doesn't swell up too much anymore either. However, it still hurts. I will have to continue wearing my brace for a few months to help give it support.
