{this past weekend}

We had a great weekend! On Friday we were able to go the Provo Temple and then celebrate Trav having submitted all of his Ph.D. applications with some Panda Express! We are glad that this initial process is over and are anxious to hear from schools in a few months! He worked so hard on the GMAT and on submitting his applications and put so many hours into it all! We are grateful to know we are in the Lord's hands and the best thing will work out for us and our little family.

We also were able to run some errands, catch up on sleep and laundry, babysit for some friends and went to a party; we made gingerbread houses and for some reason we were laughing at everything the entire time we made our tiny little house and it kept falling down. Miraculously, it stayed standing in the end. We also played some of the greatest rounds of Mafia I have ever played in my entire life. I think I could have almost gone into labor though from laughing so hard; everything was just hilarious!
