Classes are over, and finals begin Friday. We're NEARLY there!I don't think I have ever been so excited for school to be over with. I really enjoyed a couple of my classes but also had to deal with one super frustrating and annoying teacher that I'm going to be thrilled about never having to see her again. We just have to make it through to next Wednesday and our summer plans can start!!!!!!
I've got lots of catching up to do on here - clear back from December!
Matt and I have a good long list of goals and plans for things we want to do this summer. (I'll post it one of these days). This will be our first summer together married...obviously. We're both going to be working at good ol' Emergency Essentials and will be able to come home from work and just enjoy our evenings together and not have to worry about school! Oh boy I can't wait!

Easter Thought
This thought was shared in Relief Society and I really liked it so I thought I would share it here. I don't remember it word for word but it's about the folded facial napkin in Christ's tomb at the time of his resurrection.
The neatly folded napkin is recognized by Mary Magdalene and then by John and then again by Simon Peter so actually walks into the tomb. All the other bedding sheets were tossed aside but the facial napkin was nicely folded where he had laid. What is the napkins significance?
In order to understand the significance you must know the relationship between the master and the servant with Hebrews at that time. The servant would set the table for dinner exactly as the Master wanted it to be. Then, after the Master came for dinner, the servant would wait patiently to the side out of the way and wait for the Master to finish. When the master finished, he would crumble his napkin and throw it on the table. The servant would immediately clear the table at the sight of the Master's crumbled napkin. However, if the Master stood up but folded his napkin it meant I'm coming back. This was the message Christ gave to the apostles when they came into the tomb and saw the neatly folded napkin. I'm coming back.
It's also the message to all of us that He's coming back. A promise of the second coming.
Happy Easter.

Burnt and Broke
I just broke my 2nd glass cup since we've been married and practically ruined one of our pots by burning peas. I guess I'm becoming a true wife. Matt is finishing the rest of dinner. :(

Another Long Update
I've got the sick so it looks like I might actually get some blogging in. Here's another catch up on what's going on...
FOOTBALL BANQUET
Was about a week and a half ago. It's kinda like football's mini version of the Oscars. 2 huge projection screens, 2 smaller tvs all showing the guy speaking as well as showing highlights of each player that is awarded something. Seniors wear tuxes and the whole shibang. It was at the Marriott - pretty good food and it was fun to see some of the friends we/I haven't seen in awhile. But....very long.
FOOTBALL
Spring Ball has officially started and Matt's got the bumps and bruises to show it. This means more practicing and full on practicing too. He gets tougher and stronger every day.
HOME LIFE
Like I said earlier, I'm a sickling today but Matt has been a true sweetheart. He did all the dishes (there was a ton) and did all the laundy including folding most of it and let me rest. The kids from downstairs come up and played Wii for about 3 hours...Matt is a lot more patient than I am and is so cute to watch play with kids. The kids are way funny to watch and play with but definitely have their dose of craziness in them. I concluded that I definitely need a couple more years for my patience to get better before we have kids of our own.
We also decided it was time to rearrange the furniture a week ago....so we did. We didn't do a whole lot cause we don't have a lot of room to do anything but we did what we could and I love the little bit of change it did for our living room.
We got a water filter and it is absolutely wonderful! I love it!
SCOOTER
The cat's out of the bag - we have a scooter! A 2003 Yamaha Zuma. We've had it for a few weeks now and Matt has loved it. We got a good deal on it and with its efficiency we calculated that it would pay for itself in a year with the money we save on gas. We've only had to pay about $2 to fill it up....that lasts 2 weeks! And it makes parking at BYU 200 times easier and faster.
GIRLS NIGHT
Last Friday I went with 4 girlies from high school for a reunion of all our good times together. Thanks Stephanie for takin pictures. Here's what came of it:
First stop: Dinner at the Pizza Factory
Stephanie, Lauren, Paula
Alyssa and Me
Back at Stephanie's house:
I think I laughed so hard I was almost crying when I saw this picture again.
It was so much fun if you couldn't tell from all the pictures.
Well I think that about does it for now atleast. We've got some fun stuff coming up in the future...hopefully this sickness will go away fast. I've been itching for a vacation but that probably won't come for awhile now that we found out the truck is going to cost us $400 to even pass safety. Anyways, that was just a random thought. Hopefully I'll be better and post more often. Toodles.

Max
Matthew Berrett Putnam maxed:
Bench Press: 385 lbs. **Yes, he has benched me a couple times, but I squirm too much according to him**
Squat: 500 lbs. - Not actually his max because his coach told him to stop at that so he doesn't hurt his foot....but STILL!
Way to go sweetie!

Life As We Know It
= BUSY but good. A lot has happened and I still have a lot to catch up on and who knows if I can even remember the most of it....but here it goes....this may get long... . . .
WORK
As many of you already know - I was promoted at work a while back to take over supervisor of the accounting department. It has been a task and a half so far but very much a blessing at the same time. It's been a little difficult transitioning because I'm still in the process of being trained in the accounts payable - which means I have to listen to the guy that is training me but technically his supervisor...and while learning that I am also trying to learn the supervisor ropes but the current supervisor has been sick as a dog during her pregnancy. I love her to death and this pregnancy has definitely taken its toll on her so she rarely comes in which means I have to try to learn things on my own. I have increased my work hours to 30 hours a week while still attempting to be full time at school with 13 credits. But it has a nice raise that came with the job too. Anyways, I'm already rambling.....
We have truly been blessed however with the promotion. Even though my life has become super extra busy I have still managed to get up every morning and basically on time to everything (that's amazing if you know me and mornings) and that = 8 a.m. every day. Of course I do sleep in every now again at my own choice. And Matt has been the perfect husband helping out whenever it is needed...I really couldn't do it without him.
SCHOOL
Matt and I have 2 classes together and that is probably one of the biggest blessings for us...atleast for me. One of them is smack in the middle of the day and it gives me the little extra boost every day when I see him. We don't get to spend a whole lot of time together so it makes it fun to be able to do homework and study together.
FOOTBALL
Is going well...atleast as far as I know. I get to brag for Matt - he benched 355 lbs! And that's not even his max! He's been working hard and his foot is doing great. He just has a funny lookin Frankenstein scar left on his foot. We'll be going to the football banquet next Wednesday.
GOAL
Matt and I have made it our goal to go to every temple in Utah - going to a different one every month. We started off by going to the Logan Temple last Saturday. We stayed at Matt's parents and got to see Seth and Tiffany's new little baby boy. It was such a fun weekend. I've already felt the extra strength from going to the temple and little baby Sawyer was so adorable.
SUPER MARIO GALAXY
Wendy let us borrow the game and we both ended up getting sorta addicted to it. Matt had it beat in 2 days. The first night after we borrowed it, Matt stayed up half the night playing it and I gave up waiting up for him and went to bed without him. Then we discovered 2 players on the game and I got addicted to it. I got to be his helper and gather stars and hold down the bad guys while he beats the levels....teamwork at its best.
