Monday Monday.

It's been a busy few weeks it seems. We've been working and going to school and trying to be more socially available. Ammon was sick for a while with strep throat. And lately he's been job hunting like mad (if you know of any health/fitness/physical therapy type jobs in Boise, CALL US). The poor man has lateral epicondylitis (better known as tennis elbow) from work and although he now has a strap that the doc gave him to wear, his current job is making it impossible to heal. Something about lifting damp hay bales all day...

We recently switched from a family ward to a married student ward and are already noticing a difference in life. Yesterday in church we were both like, "Yeah, this is where we need to be."  On Saturday we went to our new ward's Easter egg hunt. We won $60 worth of movie passes, some U-Swirl gift certificates, and some new headphones. We felt bad for winning so much so we shared with people who didn't get anything. But it was an exciting day :)

As if Ammon hasn't had enough health problems the last few months, he also has a lump on the back of his throat that we have been concerned about. We were referred to an ENT (the same one who did his face surgery when he broke it) and they wanted to do a cat-scan. $Cha-Ching!$ So in a desperate moment I asked if they would be able to get the same answers if I were to just do x-rays of his throat at my work. The doctor said yes and I was able to do them today for free. Do you know how much money that saved us?! So long story short...they believe it is just a bone spur on his vertebrae, the doctor is not concerned, and we are in an observatory stage. Phew. It was either that or a tumor. We are dodging bullets left and right you guys.

To make this day even better, we got Ammon two pairs of jeans for a grand total of $1.38. Thank you Plato's closet.

For those of you who saw my lovely zebra cake, you will be happy to know that I succeeded in a bunny butt cake for Easter. This time I floured the pans...a lot.

Hope you all had a fabulous Easter. We bought discount candy today. That's what's up!

Oh my gosh, that bunny cake is one of the cutest things I've ever seen! And seriously, TWO pairs of jeans for $1.38? Did you have in store credit or something? Really glad to hear that the lump was nothing and you were able to find that out for free.
