externship

Yay! I got the externship I wanted! I was getting bummed that they hadn't called me back at all after I sent them my resume, but they called me yesterday & want me to start Monday. It is a new dental office, literally right down the road from my parents house in Eagle Mountain. That's why I wanted it, so I can easily drop my kids off at my parent's house & then they will drop the girls off at school & Dan will pick them up at 3:30. It should work really well I hope! I have 100 hours to do & then they will most likely hire me on. I think I'm working part-time, not sure what days yet. They are only open Monday - Thursday anyway. My day tomorrow is CRAZY!! I have work from 8-5 & then straight from there I go to school from 6-10! Wish me luck!!

P.S. Don't ask me the difference between an externship & an internship because I really don't know! That's just what my school is calling it. All I know is that I'm not getting paid, but am getting my foot in the door.

El's talk

El gave her first talk in Primary a few weeks ago. She read it herself, it was very cute. We put pictures on the paper so that she could remember certain parts (an idea from Dan's co-worker). Here is a clip of her practicing at home.

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. My parents were in town & we had a nice dinner at my house. We had a neighborhood egg hunt, & dyed eggs of course. I was happy that Sunday was a nice day & we were able to have a little egg hunt in our yard. After dinner, we all took turns reading the Easter story from an object lesson/egg thing that I made in seminary back in the day.

Spring Break

El had her spring break last week & Dan decided to take the week off too. We went to the Hill Aerospace Museum, the Zoo, & Monsters vs. Aliens 3D movie (which was very cool). We also took a trip to the mall to visit Build-a-Bear Workshop to get some new clothes for El's Teddy Bear Picnic that's coming up this month at school. We spent some time with Dan's mom, who was in town & she was able to come to the zoo with us. The airplane museum was a little boring after a while, but the girls enjoyed the kids area & Dan loved it all of course. Afterward we went to Famous Dave's BBQ, since we've never been there & have heard good things about it. It was SO yummy! I can't wait to go back there! And of course we ended up getting too much stuff at the Disney Store! Good thing I don't go to the mall too often! Anyway, we had a lot of fun even though we neglected most of our Spring cleaning plans! Oh well...
