A few updates & a bit of rambling, too

I have been SO busy since being back from Mexico that it's unreal. Today was supposed to be a relaxing Saturday, but instead I have spent my "day off" running errands, doing laundry, cleaning house, lesson planning, going to school to laminate stuff, making copies, doing Primary stuff, and taking care of Steven for the few minutes I've seen him today. So today, I thought I would let off some steam, and here's what I have to say, dang it...

First of all, here's a pic of our new cell phones. Yes, we FINALLY chose to stay with AT&T and we signed up as new customers. We could do that b/c both of us were on Family Plans, so we just decided to get cool new phones, and stick with what we knew was a good thing. Plus, I get a discount through work. So, here's a pic of them:

I find myself longing to go to Mexico again. Ok, really to just go on a REAL vacation. Just wanted to share my favorite souvenir with ya'll. Here it is. I have decided that I am going to collect masks from different cultures/places that I've been. I have one from Chile, and now one from Mexico. They really intrigue me...don't know why, but here's one that represents a lot of Mayan culture:

Don't know why I wanted to include this pic, but I am really proud of our lil' Dyson vaccuum. It is the greatest thing on earth! It was Steven & my first HUGE purchase since being married, and I'm sure we won't regret it. I have to have a vaccuum that works well, and we got a great deal. Here she is, the Dyson Slim (can't remember the number, sorry)...

We are SOOOOO ready to move! Have I mentioned that already? Here's a few reasons that I can think of:

1. We have so much JUNK, I mean cool stuff that I can't wait to use! All that registering, and gift opening was fun, and now I want to use it. Everything that we got, pretty much, is still packed away, and I am longing more and more to open everything and use them. I go in the storage room ever so often, take a gander at stuff, just to remind myself everything we got. I tend to forget. But that's the coolest part, it's like getting presents all over again. So, here's a gander at the huge shelf that is in my parent's storage room, with a ton of our wedding gifts in bags/boxes.

AND....to top off all those endless boxes and gifts remaining untouched by human hands...I have framed some wedding pics, our marriage certificates, Proclamation to the Family, etc, etc etc...and I'm DYING to hang them up. I haven't done so b/c I really just want them to adorn the walls of our new adobe. Here's a sneak peak at two of my favorite pics. Both are just sitting on the floor, surrounded by phones, cords, dust, shoes, and Steven's laundry bag:

Also...can you even see a kitchen table in this pic? It is so cluttered with PRIMARY activity stuff (and will be for another 2 weeks) that I can't stand it any longer!

I just want to move. I need more space, and I need to feel like Steven & I have something of our own. It's been great living in the basement of my parent's home, but let's get real....it's past due...the MOVE! June can't come any faster!
