God is mysterious, and I truly believe that. But sometimes his ways are clear and paths are easy. Brad and I have been bouncing different ideas back and forth about what we should do about when to have kids, if we should move, how to space out our schooling, grad school, and me applying to be a hall advisor.
All of these things are constantly on my mind on a daily basis. So, once our land lady told us she was moving out I thought, "Oh no! Now what are we going to do? Will we still be able to rent from her, are we going to move out during finals...." She is moving out the 18th of April.
A few weeks ago the professor that I TA for, Sister Morgan, mentioned that Marrianne Kjar (an older widow in our ward) will be renting out her basement after the first of May. Yet, another option to consider.
So, I finally called her up. Her sweet voiced answered. I told her who I was and then she said, "Oh I heard all about you from Lisa, and what good renters you are! Yes, the apartment is still available to rent, and I would love to have you rent it." SCORE! I said, "Do you mind if I ask how much the rent is per month?" "It's $490 including all utilities and internet. And I pay you to mow my lawn." Double score considering we pay $650 a month now.
We're going to go look at it this week. I'm sure it will be great because her house is really beautiful on the outside. Brad and I are always being looked after by a loving Heavenly Father who sometimes works directly or indirectly to help his children through this life.

Taco Soup =Remedy for EVERYTHING!!!
I heart Taco Soup...really...there is just nothing like it. Scoop it in a bowl and top it with lots of cheese and use tortilla chips instead of a spoon. Yummy!
Well, I'm going to switch topics and talk a little about life for Brad and me the past two weeks since we have been lazy about posting anything.
My Dad calls me up and asks me if "hell week" is over. It's been pretty much hell month if you ask me. Mid-term, paper, project multiplied by 37. I have never been so sloppy about house work, laundry, everything. My life was truly crashing down around me as I sit at my computer for multiple hours a day meeting deadlines, looking over notes for my midterm, etc. School is great, and I love learning, but I really hate busy work that teachers give us to think we'll actually get something out of it. Does anybody know what I mean?
Brad and I attended our first Humor U show. It's BYU's stand up comedy club. They were awesome. There are actually 2 guys from the Wilmington DE stake in it! How cool is that?
We had a younger couple come and look at our house Saturday because our Land Lady is thinking about selling her house and banking the money so she can go a serve a mission. We haven't heard if they choose our house or not. We just know its between our house and another one. Luckily we'll still be able to stay in the house because they want renters!
Four more weeks of school left. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brad officially hates Physics on days that end in Y. He also has a band concert on April 14th. Cool!
That's it...kinda random, but now you're updated!

Who wants to be a millionarie!
Here is the final question, for 1 million dollars:
Your breath smells like lama dung and hay. This is a:
a. Good thing
b. Bad thing
c. Not a bad thing
d. Sign to brush teeth
Have you figured out the answer? Computer, lock in their answer!
The answer is.....
c. Not a bad thing. This is according to Leslie, so your answer may vary depending on how you think about it. Thanks for playing, Who wants to be a millionaire!!
So this is an actual occurrence that happened in my life this past week. It was bedtime, and we were cuddling in our little double bed getting ready to fall asleep. Leslie turns to me and says "You breath smells like lama dung and hay. (I immediately turned away, disgusted and was ready to fall asleep immediately, in response to this, she says immediately) But that's not a bad thing! Come back!" I was laughing for about 5 years. Has your significant other ever told you something bad about your breath, smile, face, fart, smell, etc?

Lists
Okay, I hate to admit this about myself, but I am OCD when it comes to making lists. I seriously make lists about everything. A list for cleaning the house, a list for when I go to the grocery store, a list of home work I have divide up into each class, lists for church, etc. It's crazy. Why do I obsess like this? Well, I can think of a couple reasons why. One, my mom was like this. She too made list after list- like mother like daughter. Two, it helps me to organize and prioritize my life. But it's so sad when I have to write when to get up and when to fall asleep to insure 8 hours of sleep. My life isn't dictated by my lists, but they do play a big part in organizing my life for me.
Are there any LMA's (list makers anonymous out there)? We should form a group. Compare and contrast the details of our lists, and help each other know when to say enough if enough, just LIVE you life!!!
