San Diego Part 2

The San Diego Zoo was a hoot! We saw everything there.

San Diego Part 1

We had the greatest trip to San Diego! We really needed a getaway and the break between semesters was the perfect time to do it. Even though the whole family couldn't be there we still had a great time with Ricky's sister Janae and her family. They are a ton of fun. We got to visit the zoo, hang out at the beach and just relax a bit. It was everything we needed. Drew even got to hang out with us. But because there were so many photos I'm just going to put them in two separate posts.

Drew's Homecoming/My Birthday

I'm way behind! This has to be my catch up post because my school work last semester definitely got to me. Drew came home on March 9 and it was not a day too soon. it was just in time for my birthday, well a day late, but we'll forgive him. So Ricky and I celebrated my birthday and then flew out to Michigan to see the family and celebrate again with them. It was the best birthday ever!

School, School, School

This is a bit of an overdue update. School has been keeping both of us pretty busy lately. I've been trying to get my photography going and Ricky has been busier than ever with homework it seems. A few weeks ago I was able to take engagement photos for Ricky's cousin and I absolutely love them. I've been trying to get my photography blog up and running www.rachellepackard.blogspot.com and needless to say it's been a slow process between school and the million other things going on. But Bennett and Jenessa's photo's are beautiful! Now we're looking forward to Drew's homecoming in just one week! I can't believe how time really flies these days.

Me + You

Love is all you need...We had a pretty chill Valentine's this year and it was just what we needed. We were going to be gone over the weekend so our plans were a bit unsettled leading up to the weekend. Thursday night when I came home from work this cute little surprise was waiting for me on the kitchen table. It was the best ever! Rick thinks he can never surprise me, but I was totally caught off guard, and I loved it! The best part was my cute little plaque that says "Better Days are Coming They're Called Saturday And Sunday".

Frazl

This is my latest graphic design project. If only it were real. It's an energy drink for the homemaker that never has enough time in the day to get everything done. At the time it was just a funny idea, but it must have been screaming from my subconscious. My laundry never seems to get done and the dishes are always in a pile. I need to get my act together before I have kids or they are really going to suffer. What I really need is a fairy godmother. Where do you think I could find one of those?

Rick and I have been talking about future plans a lot this last week trying to figure out where we want to be this next year and I have been trying to come to terms with the fact that I am going to be in Rexburg for the next year no matter how hard I wish that I will be relaxing in San Diego. But the good news is that when it's all said and done we're rent free and we're going to be done with school! I guess there's always and upside to everything. Right?
