Kind of funny...

I haven't been updating the blog much lately, and yet I get annoyed when one of my friends hasn't updated theirs in a timely manner. How hypocritical of me.

The reason I haven't been writing much lately is because I haven't had much to say. Is anyone really that interested in my life? Well, considering the hits I get, I guess so.

First off, I'm excited for spring to come. This means I can take Aiden outside, and he spends less time in front of the TV. I try to keep him from watching too much TV in the first place, but sometimes, it's inevitable. I'm also excited because Stephan will be able to ride his scooter again. This is exciting because (a) we'll save money on gas and (b) I won't have to drag Aiden out of bed at 7:30 to take Stephan to school.

Stephan had spring break last week. We went to the temple on Wednesday, for the first time in too long. We hadn't gone in a long time because I had a negative experience the last time we went, and it left me traumatized. I think we went on a day when the bad temple workers were on duty. Yes folks, they do exist, though thankfully in very small numbers. But this last time was wonderful, and I'm sorry we went so long without going. We are going to attend more often.

Thursday and Friday, we watched Aiden. Stephan played Wii with him, I took him to the playground, etc. The playground at our complex is a great place to socialize, I found out. Friday night, we went to an Orchestra at Temple Square concert in Salt Lake. Stephan planned the date himself :)

I'm convinced that Stephan is going to make a better parent than me. He's better at telling Aiden "no" than I am. Especially when it comes to food. I swear, all Aiden wants to eat is our granola bars.

My brother-in-law Brent is coming home from his mission in a week. My in-laws are in the Czech Republic now, spending time with him before his mission is finished. We'll get to see him next Monday--it will the the THIRD time I've seen him in my life. Stephan and I started dating exclusively right as Brent was getting ready to report to the MTC. In fact, the first time I met Brent was at his farewell. He more or less insisted on approving of me before he left. As if he has any authority. Amusingly, we were engaged a few weeks before he flew to Prague.

Speaking of the Czech Republic, I found out that kolaches originated there. For those who aren't in the know, kolaches are a pastry traditionally filled with fruit, and I like them better than doughnuts. They are very popular in Texas because there is a Czech community there, and Texan kolaches can also be filled with sausage, eggs, cheese, and other savory foods. Some Texans think that the sausage ones are the original, but apparently not. I wonder if my brother-in-law has heard of them. I found recipes online for kolaches, and I want to try them out. Yes, from scratch. I like cooking things from scratch. It's better for you. And cheaper.

That's all for now.
