Easter and Everything Else

I am a blogging loser. I hate when I go so long without blogging then I'm behind on everything! So what have we been up to? Welllll....
 I've been trying to spend as much time as possible with this cute boy. Being the broke college students that we are, that involves a lot of Redbox movie dates, midnight Maverick runs, entertaining myself while Anthany does homework, and lots of cuddling on the couch after a long day of work.
 I'm not gonna share how many bags of these little treasures I have enjoyed in the last month. Hands down, my all time favorite treat. But the best bag of these I got, was the one Anthany surprised me with when I came home from work in tears, stressed and homesick. He always knows just what I need :] I never give him enough credit, poor guy got stuck with a big baby haha
 Anthany was so excited to FINALLY try the new Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco [jeez long enough name?]. Anthany can't believe it, but I still prefer the Nacho Cheese one over the Cool Ranch.
 I'm trying to quit drinking pop, particularly Mountain Dew, but it's proving to be quite the challenge. Especially since Maverick keeps offering us free ones!
 Spending quality time together. It's pretty typical for me to watch my TV shows that Anthany hates while he games. It's a win-win for both of us. Unless the Internet starts acting up, then we have to decide who has to stop what they are doing haha
 In the past month I have discovered Snapchat! It's a fun way for me and my best friend to send tons of pictures of ourselves to each other throughout the day. Now I don't have to ever wonder "What does Brittanee look like right now?" Cause I always know :] Also, work is KILLING me with boredom lately. It's been super slow but starting to pick up again finally! So this picture shows exactly how I have felt this whole last month.
 I was so excited when Anthany and I found this Wreck it Ralph video game in Redbox. Anthany hates playing Wii and it's always a challenge convincing him to play with me. However, since we are both obsessed with Wreck it Ralph right now, he agreed to play it with me! But of course, it turned out to only be one player! So he lucked out this time.
 The highlight of my month was my very best friend Brittanee Peterson, and Anthany's very best friend Rusty Robison came and visited us for the weekend! I was bummed I had to work quite a bit while they were here, but we still had so much fun! We ate at this sketchy restuarant called Bar Grenika that was shown on Drive-ins, Diners, And Dives! It was cool to try something new but I didn't think the food was too fantastic. Definitely a one time thing for me. We also had fun playing Wii Sports, catching Rusty up on movies he missed on his mission, making a feast for Sunday, and staying up SO late laughing and talking. I had two favorite parts, #1 We went to Denny's!! I don't know what it is about their French Toast Slam but it is SO fantastic [I'm sure me saying how much I love Denny's makes you doubt if you can trust me about the Bar Grenika review]. #2 We only have one couch in our living room so having friends over kinda stinks. So we pulled out the mattress from the spare bedroom and we all just snuggled up on that! Of course, Brittanee snuggled up to me, and Anthany snuggled up to Rusty :] haha
 Anthany went on a facial hair growing kick which FINALLY ended. I thought this mustache was so creepy and hilarious. Luckily, he honestly only had it for maybe ten minutes until he agreed with me.
 We got some free delicious milkshakes from Maverick! Also, I like this picture cause you can see that my hair is getting so long again! Yay!
 
Finally, we dyed Easter eggs! Yeah, you don't have to tell me that it is immature, I have already heard that from like 25 people. I think it is SO fun plus it's cheap. So we did it :] I found the dye kit I wanted right away, it was just a basic kit that came with TWELVE colors. Then, I made the mistake of showing Anthany a Batman kit that I saw. So then of course he really wanted it. So we just got both haha. 
 Before this picture, I had never hard boiled eggs before. I put the water on the stove and let it start boiling then, right before I plopped the eggs in, Anthany said he thought that was wrong. So I called my sweet mother-in-law and she taught me the correct way. I was so paranoid that the eggs were gonna break so I sat and watched them the whole fifteen minutes. Because of my watchful eye, only one broke! Which I thought was pretty impressive :]
 Anthany thinks I'm a nerd :]
 Anthany really could have cared less about dying eggs haha He was more interested in watching Nitro Circus. But I really appreciate him doing it with me anyways :] I had a blast.
 Yay Easter eggs!
 Our Easter was pretty low-key. We went to church in the morning which was really nice. Because of work, I haven't been able to go for an entire meeting for awhile so I was pretty happy. When we got home, I was exhausted so I slept for like two hours. When I woke up, Brittanee sent me a Snapchat of how tan she was getting sitting outside so I immediately asked Anthany if we could go for a walk around the greenbelt. It was beautiful. As we are coming down to our last two months in Boise, I'm trying not to get emotional about it. I'm excited for what's ahead of us, but I can't say I'm not sad about what we are leaving behind. I will probably bawl my eyes out when we leave our little apartment for good. Ah.. anyways, moving on haha.
 Anthany's cool Batman eggs.
 This was one of his last eggs and he was SO ready to be done so he just scribbled all over it and then threw it in a dye. But I thought it actually turned out pretty cool haha
And my eggs! Pretty much nothing too special haha. I do like my sticker egg though :] Anyways, when we got home from our walk, our house stunk like eggs so Anthany insisted we threw them all away right then haha. We threw together some Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner [I'm not sure why I didn't plan out a nice Easter dinner, I didn't even think about it!] then just relaxed the rest of the night!
 
So that is what we have been up to! I apologize for the huge and random post! I like to read back and remember stuff like this though :] I am loving the sunshine! We can't wait for there to be water in our pool again, then it will officially feel like summer! I'm trying to get back into running again but it is kicking my butt. Anthany HATES running but he is trying to stick it out with me. We are doing so well! For the next little while, I'm going to be keeping busy with working and trying to get everything packed up and ready for the move. Anthany is going to be working and finishing up this semester of school. He is definitely excited for summer vacation!
