Fantastic Month!

April has been a great month so far for us! I got a job, but not just a job, a job that I wanted so bad and enjoy so much! I get to be a nanny, (see previous post!)


Shane restored his old 80's bike; new seat, handles, paint, the works. He worked hard on it and it looks amazing! Since he got to fix up his bike, we bought me a brand new bicycle. It's adorable and has a basket, my favorite part! We ride them around the apartments often and have so much fun!

The night before Easter I couldn't sleep. Seriously. I was so excited it was ridiculous. I watched several movies in bed until I finally drifted off. In the morning I told Shane I hid 100 eggs around the apartment and he had to find them. He groggily came out of the bedroom and found this instead:

100 eggs, each with a piece of candy and slip with something I love about him on it. We went through them together and I explained each slip to him. I was so tired though that half of what I was saying didn't make sense; I wish I would have recorded this moment because it was truly hilarious. You'll just have to trust me here.


After the eggs, Shane gave me my basket. It had a note, diet coke, and little sock monkey in it. I was confused because he had talked Easter up SO much. But I understood once I read the note. He had hid the main part of my basket in the apartment and I had to find it with clues.

 I went through 5 clues, and then I found it. . .

We are a little ridiculous and kinda go super overboard on holidays. . . haha. Ever since we started dating I have been telling Shane how much I want a candy machine. I just think they're awesome! Seriously, it was like Christmas. After I finished squealing and laughing of excitement, I gave Shane his basket. Not as awesome as my "basket," but still pretty cool.

He loved it. :)


Well since Easter I have probably spent at least $5 in quarters on my awesome candy machine. I can't help it, it sits in our family room and begs for me to use it, so of course I have to take just a couple quarters from our laundry money and get some candy. (And Shane won't let me know where the key to it is, so I HAVE to use money if I want candy.)

It looks great in our family room, don't you think?


I love April. It's been a great month so far!
