Happenings
Holy Moley. There is no way I can completely catch up, so I'll give you little snippets of our lives these past few weeks. Cuz we been busy.
But first let me take a little breather....
Whew.
Hi. How are you dear readers? Do I even have readers? Sometimes I don't know. So, you should let me know. That would be fun.
Alright. Let's just jump into it then. We had quite a few visitors in April. My old roomie Diane came down for a couple days during her Spring Break. It was so fun to catch up with her! We went back up north to visit some family and mostly because my stepsister was having a baby shower. It was so fun to go support her. Then Karen, my MIL in case you aren't in the loop, came down for Easter weekend, which was awesome!
Next Lish finished up his first semester as professoring. One down. Lots more to go. We stayed around here for a few days after the semester was over before heading out for 2 1/2 weeks. During that time was the descent of our computer. Boo computer. Boo me trying to download something that I shouldn't have been trying to download. My bad. But now it's back and better than ever! Except how it was when it was new.
We headed up to SLC on our anniversary (Yay 4 years of marriage!) and celebrated up there. We knew we'd have babysitters so we could at least go out to dinner. Which we did. At the Cheesecake Factory. Delicious. We stayed in that area for a week, traveling around visiting family and what not. And during that time my stepsister had her baby. Welcome to the world Cash Christensen! You are so loved!
Then we got a plane. We ended up in California. Don't worry; it was all planned. We got to visit Petaluma, which is where Lish grew up. I got to meet some friends and families that he grew up with, see the sights that he saw every day, see the house he grew up in. You get the idea. It was so fun! Then we met up with Lish's dad and stepmom for a few days and we're so grateful for them and their kindness. They had just gotten back from a 2 week trip to Italy a few days before, so we know the timing wasn't ideal, but we appreciate them working with us anyway.
We got back into Utah and stayed a couple more days before heading back home. On the last day we were there, I was supposed to run that half marathon I've been dreading talking about. However, due to someone not filing a permit or something of that nature, it was postponed. For a month. Another month of training and not being able to run with my dad. Boo. But it was goal and we were going to be up in SLC over the Independence weekend anyway, so I'm planning to run it. My dad and I still want to run a race together, so we'll most likely do the Moab half in October. I hear it's beautiful! I'm excited. Anyone want to join us? You should. It'll be fun!
As for Yale, cause I know that's why you've tuned it, he is half a year old. He's getting so big! He's just over 17 pounds now (50th percentile) and 26 1/2 inches long (50th percentile). We started feeding him solid foods and he's not a big fan yet. But in his defense, that rice cereal stuff tastes gross. Lish tried it. He has two teeth now. He got them within a couple days of each other. And he's thisclose to crawling. He's scooting and moving like crazy!

We're Alive!
But our computer... That's a different story. Stupid computer. We have been so busy and our computer isn't working so well, so I'll just have to do a brief overview post when I can. I would now, but I'm writing this on the iPod and it just takes too long. But all is well and life continues to be good to us! Much love dear readers, much love.

Movin' and Groovin'
By the way, I have signed up for this. Wish me luck! I've been training my rear off! Or at least my belly fat off.
And we got this in the mail earlier this week. We have yet to play it. I know. It's a horrible shame. And it's so fun! I think it's on the agenda for tonight. But I also want to add this and this to our collection.

Birthday, Weekend, and 4 Months
I'm playing catch up again, mostly because I think it's fun (not really). And because I slack sometimes. But, you know...
Lish had a birthday. And we celebrated hardcore. It was our first weekend in a long, long time that we didn't have anything to do, so that's what we did. The night before his birthday we went on our search for Chinese food again. It was our second attempt to finding something, and our second fail. In the end we just got some Cafe Rio and it was delish! (Of course.) On Lish's birthday we took things really easy. It was raining, so we couldn't go outside to do much. (Although I still ran 6 miles and it was one of the worst runs of my life. Never again will I run in the red dirt when it's raining. I don't know if you knew this, but it turns into slippery clay. Go figure.) And for dinner that night he just wanted to eat in. We watched a couple movies. Snuggled with the little one. And with each other. Like I said, hardcore. Nothing could top his birthday last year. That was the night we found out we were going to have this little guy:
Good times. Really good times.
In other news, Lish has completely completed his dissertation! Yay! I'm so proud of him and all the hard work and long hours he put into that thing. And I'm so glad he's done. He's glad too. Very glad.
This past weekend we went up to SLC for the Jazz v. Lakers game. The game didn't start until 8:30 Friday night and my mom was watching Yale, so Lish and I had a whole night by ourselves. It was so nice but I was amazed at how much Yale was on my mind and how much I missed him. We were only apart for 5 hours. I loved getting to spend that one on one time with Lish though. We were sitting up in the nose bleed section for the first half of the game, but both of us were keeping an eye out for empty seats in the lower bowl. We found almost an entire row of emptiness, so during half time we moseyed our way down there. We weren't the only ones with that idea either. No one ended up claiming the seats and the ushers didn't check our tickets when we went down there. Our little rebellious selves didn't get caught! And we got to watch the second half of the game 10 rows up on the Lakers side, which Lish appreciated. It was awesome!
The rest of our weekend was spent fulfilling our appetites, spiritually and physically. I didn't get to listen to Conference as much as I wanted, so I'm excited for the May Ensign to come out so I can read those talks and be uplifted again.
You know I have to post more pictures of our little man.
He went in for his 4 month checkup yesterday, BTW. Can you believe that? FOUR months! He weighs 15 lb 5 1/2 oz (60th percentile) and is 25 1/2 in long (75th percentile). His head size is in the 75th percentile too. So he's gotten longer and skinnier in the past 2 months. But he still has the chunkiest little thighs! I love them!
