One exciting thing is that Nick started his Master's program in February. Well, maybe not too exciting for him but it will definitely be worth it in the end. He is overwhelmed with homework but he is getting through it just fine. His summer break will be a nice opportunity to get a lot done.
Also in February we went to go see the Harlem Globetrotters. We got excellent courtside seats and had a great time watching them do all of their tricks.

Nick had his Spring Break during the last weekend in March so we used the opportunity to go to Ocean Shores for a few days. We had a nice time but just like the last time we went, the weather was TERRIBLE! Well, it was actually kind of fun going out into the worst wind and rain storm that we had ever seen and we even drove out onto the beach during 75mph winds! We managed to sneak a few pictures in despite the freezing rain pelting our faces!

The day we left...of course it was nicer!
Despite the weather we still had fun going through town, getting salt water taffy and hanging out in the casino. We played in a poker tournament and showed all the locals how it was done :)
When we came home it was Easter so we had a nice visit with Jamie and Chris who stopped by that morning. We went to Max Dales for brunch and Nick's aunt and uncle were able to join us which was so nice. We had a great time there and then went back at my parents house. We also visited with my grandmother who has been in a care facility for a few weeks now. We are praying that she will be coming home soon.
Great things have been happening to our siblings as well...Jen bought her ticket to India for June 4th and will be traveling through for 2 or 3 months until her next stop, Spain. She is super excited and I hope that she has a great time. She is still in South Korea teaching children English. Also, Joel and Christie WON a trip to Ireland on St. Patty's Day! How amazing, we are so happy for them and wish them a great trip. Sam just started school again and has been producing some amazing artwork which will definitely take her somewhere great.
Well, thats all for now. We hope everyone is doing well and we hope you all had a great Easter weekend!
