The Month I Like to Call "April"

Phew! It hasn't been a month yet since my last post. I was a little worried when I logged in... I don't want to be one of those people who just leaves an old outdated Blog just rotting in Cyberspace.

Well, it's April now. To me, it's sort of a ho-hum kind of month. Spring is still trying to drag along but it's not as new as it was last month, and summer isn't really trying to make its appearance yet. All the college kids around here are excited because this is the last week of classes. Next week is finals week and then the lucky seniors get to Grad-u-ate. (*sing-song voice*) Nothing like that for me though, I'll still be working after they're gone and the new freshies make their way here. The old 8-5, though consistent and good for paying bills, does get a bit dull and monotonous at times. (..redundant?)

What's new in my life, you ask? Let's see if I can come up with a few tidbits for you. Well, I forgot about April Fool's so I didn't play any sneaky tricks on any of my loved ones. Also, I am happy to report that I did not have any pranks pulled on me. (I'm not big on practical jokes, so the 1st of April isn't one of my favorite days.)

My guinea pig Rufus seems to be doing much better. After 3 trips to the vet and $300 worth of medical attention - he'd better be! I thought rodents were supposed to be low maintenace! His little neck infection seems to be reduced and he isn't scratching all his fur off, so I think that's a good sign. Plus, he is pleasantly plump now, and that's really the way that all pigs should be. =)

Easter Sunday was nice. Our church put on a special program for the kids and we had an egg hunt after services that David and I helped with. Our friends Shaun and Jessica invited us over for dinner which was nice since we didn't have any plans. (Side story: It's the night before Easter and as we're going to sleep I suddenly remember in a panic that I didn't get an Easter gift for David - not even a mushy card or chocolate bunny or anything! I try to act casual and whisper, "Hey sweetie...did you get me anything for Easter?" There is a long pause before he responds, "Why?" - he takes a good approach there. I hesitantly answer, "Because I didn't get you anything..." I am relieved when he confirms that he too is a bad spouse and neglected to buy me a gift. We're perfect for each other!) Back to Easter dinner now. It was delicious! Jessica is a wonderful cook and she went all out with a Thanksgiving-type spread. Her pnut butter pie is practically to die for!

Let's see... upcoming adventures for me... We are going down to Malibu for the Bible Lectures at Pepperdine University during the first week of May. I think we might make a stop at Disney's California Adventure. I'm such a kid, but I love theme parks. Also, our 2 year wedding anniversary is coming up on May 15th - crazy. I can't even believe it's been that long already! And yet, it kind of feels like I've been married forever. By the way, at what point do you stop being a newlywed? I kind of feel like I'm past that point now, but 2 years isn't that long when you consider people that make it to their 50th anniversary. Hmm...maybe about the 2 year mark is when you make the transistion into oldlywed.
