Picnic Date

A few weeks ago (when the weather was really nice) Michael and I went on a picnic. It was so nice to chill on the grass after a long week of sitting in class and at work. We picked up some Chinese food and got to use our new picnic blanket (a wedding gift) for the first time. It was a nice evening out. Unfortunately the swings we occupied by little children, next time I guess. I cant wait until this summer- I plan on spending many evenings outside. Especially since I will be in an office everyday, 8-5!

 Michael thought the food was REALLY yummy! 

 It was sunny enough for sunglasses! I am so glad that winter is over!!

Time for some summer tanning, don't you think?

Joe's Cafe

A while back, more like the end of February, I had to "do something different" with a spouse or significant other for a class assignment. Michael had been to this hole-in-the-wall place with his boss called, Joe's Cafe. He had been raving about it every since and kept telling me he would take me someday. So we decided to do kill two birds with one stone and went one Saturday morning for a "breakfast date". And he was right....It was DELICIOUS! We finished off our breakfast date with a trip to Costco. Romantic. I know. But really, I love grocery shopping with Michael, he makes sure I stick to the list! :)

 

 My plate...hash browns, sunny side up eggs (my favorite) and 4 super thick slices of the best bacon I have ever had! oh, and a side of toast

 

 

Michael with his food. He got a super big omelet, with a whole bunch of yummy mix-ins.  He finished it all, and managed to help polish off mine as well. Lets just say we were both so full, we didn't bother eating again until dinner!

Pictures

A while back I was told that a certain, adorable nephew of mine wanted to see more pictures of his Aunt Joci and Uncle Michael. So here are a few just for Tyler and whoever else cares to look. 

At a BYU Basketball game. It was pretty cool to see the infamous Jimmer play in person. 

(ps. sometimes its hard to get Michael to take a serious picture) 

A Date Night In...Movie and some homemade cookies. 

Yummy!

 

 No bake cookies. A recent favorite in our house. Half with chocolate, for me. And half without, for Michael (and yes I know it looks like I have more, but I just made mine smaller)

Ready to settle in for a Movie one night. 

Funny Story...One time Michael had a paper due. He started it the night before it was due. Stayed up till 5 am and then got up at 7 am. This is the result of a long day of class and work on only 2 hours of sleep.

Making Valentine's Day dinner. Michael thought it was really tasty! 

Michael and his yummy Valentine's dinner for me. I didn't get home from class until 7. He was in the kitchen making some tasty sweet and sour chicken. He is quite the gourmet! (and I love that he is!) He also had picked up a pie for desert, and a movie and popcorn for the remainder of the evening. Not only did he make a special dinner for Valentine's, but he makes dinner every Monday night, since my class doesnt get out until late. He really is so sweet!

A Typical Night in the Coon Home

This is what we have been doing for the past 4 months. 

Homework.

Thankfully the semester is almost over. 3 weeks to be exact. Michael graduates the 21st/22nd. I am so excited for him! Then we get a wonderful 4 months of summer, no classes, just work and lots of  fun in between. Until then, we both have projects, papers and finals to tackle. The end is so close...We cant wait!
