(So, I tried to add the pictues later, but it's all wierd and I can't shrink them or move them. The first one is of Ryan recieving a service award at a court of honor in Feb.) Since it's been a while I'll try to play catch-up. February was a slow, but fun month. Ryan was taking a math class at MCC, which he has successfully tested out of. Hooray! He wasn’t sure how difficult it would be so that was the only class he signed up for this semester. I enjoyed going to my cousin Wenda’s baby shower with my mom, Elizabeth and Bethany. It was fun to visit with the cousins who were there. The youth in our ward were able to do baptisms for the dead and I was blessed to be able help again. It is a truly wonderful experience that I enjoy every time. The scouts went an over night snow campout that Ryan was able to go on. He had a great time, even though the boys pelted him with snow balls. It did however take all nine of them to take him down. I helped with the young women fundraiser, a potato bar dinner, in hopes to raise money for girl’s camp, which I'm planning on going to again this summer. And, of course, we had a great Valentine’s Day. We went out to eat and had a fun time together, as newlyweds do. Are we still newlyweds? Most people say we are.
I have also finally put our small garden together! We should be seeing sprouts soon! I'm so excited! We should have watermelon, cantelope, squash and some carrots by summer. As I've been out back a bit more than usual I noticed a vine growng on the ash tree in our alley. I had noticed it before and thought it was part of the cat claw in our nieghbor's yard. But a couple weeks ago, to my surprise, I noticed it had beautiful yellow flowers all over it. As I looked more closely I realized it's a climing rose, called Lady Banks. There's one in Tombstone that I've heard is over 100 years old and over a mile long! It's beautiful to look at, but I hope this one doesn't get too large. For some reason I'm having problems posting a link, but here's the web site if you want to see the huge rose bush. It's crazy!: www.goldcoastrose.org/shared/tombstone.htm
It's been spring break for Mesa schools so I wanted to visit my sister's kids a bit more, but having a cold has kept me from doing quite a few things lately. I did get to see them on Thursday at my parents house though. Bethany recently lost her 2nd tooth and is still glad to show off the empty space. Ryan's siter Stephanie had a beautiful baby girl on Wednesday! After 3 boys they didn't want to know the gender and they couldn't be happier. They would have been happy to have another boy too, but a girl is great! Congrats to the Pratt's!

Amy, you are so cute! If you want technically, yes by the social science standard, you are still newly weds, and will continue to be newly weds until your 5th anniversary. However, for some reason Mormon couples tend to get out of the newly wed phase faster (in my opinion) so I don't think you are. Sorry, I am a social science nerd, big time.
I think we will still feel like newly weds on our 50th anniversary, so I agree with you Kelsi. Of course your eduaction on it kind of validates your opinion more than mine, but that's beside the point.
i need a new post Amy!!! your avid readers demand it hahaha
Of course you are still newlyweds...you are until you don't want to be anymore! That's what I think :) Chad and I aren't anymore, but we are getting old so we don't have a choice :0) Congrats on the garden...exciting!
