We consider ourselves to be loving people

This was Julie's score:

20

This was Aaron's score:

28

We think Aaron got a lot of extra points because he's big, has a long reach, can kick really high and has some fighting experience (having 3 brothers).

Onto real life. We have a huge slide show full of pictures from the last few months. Enjoy, enjoy. During March, Aaron had spring break. During that week we took a trip with another family over to Spokane and took turns going to a temple session. A few weeks before that Julie was able to go to Spokane and attend "Time Out For Women". It was her first time but she absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone (any woman of course). It was a good time.

We're just plugging along for the most part. Joseph is ever growing, and so is his vocabulary. Most of his words are the kind that only Aaron and I can decipher. But they're actually not too bad. If you haven't seen the slideshow yet, Joseph's favorite new thing is to do the dishes. He LOVES to do dishes. Of course his definition of dishes changes constantly. For a while it was play with the cups and things and pour water here or there. Then it was rinse everything and put it on the counter. Now it is dump everything into Mama's side and watch bubbles come up his side of the sink. Either way, it helps Julie to stay ontop of the dishes and we try to let him help as often as possible because it will be his inheritance one day. So might as well learn to like it, huh?

Aaron will be finishing school at the beginning of May. We'll be staying and working here in Missoula over the summer and trying to make ends meet until we start the semester in September and get our next loan installment. We trying our best to minimize the loans we're taking out, and it'll be tough, but we think we can do it.

The weather in Missoula has just recently made a turn for the better. It's been beautiful days. Joseph's inner Montanan is coming out. He just loves to be outdoors. It's given Julie some time to weed out the planter that is downstairs. It might technically belong to the people who live below us, but they pretty much don't want it, so it's given Julie something to do while Joseph wanders around. He's gotten quite good at staying where she can see him, or coming the minute she calls for him to come back. She'll be planting some flowers pretty soon. If they grow and bloom, we'll take a picture.

Well, Julie will try and do smaller updates every now and then, if there's anything to update. Life is pretty simple and non-exciting here. For more exciting lives, check out the other blogs on the right. Just kidding. We miss and love you all!
