April 15th

Hey! It's the day taxes are due! Crazy lol. TurboTax said ours were e-filed so...

So, yes! Atlantean and I are making plans to move to Logan! My 22nd birthday is coming up this Sunday! We are currently taking care of my family's cats while they are in vacation in Monticello? My dad actually called and needed me to look up some tax documents he'd left on his desk, and it was lucky I was there! We found him the silly number tucked on the bottom of the wrong document, of course lol. I LOVE playing their piano! It's really nice now that I learned that I can just sit down and (admittedly slowly) pound out some of my favorite tunes! I remember the days when I'd buy musical piano books just in the hope that I could convince someone else to play for me, but evidently God had other things in mind! Because now I can play them! And I find such joy in hearing such familiar chords and being the jubilant owner of all of those good, good piano books! I have so many good ones!!  I am also very proud to announce that after probably almost 6 months of not driving the stick shift car we own, I took it home and I totally slayed! Even Atlantean was shocked! He said he had been atleast expecting some jolting, but it was smooth as butter babaaaay! He was very proud, as was I.

I'm currently reading
Tao of Pooh
Ella Minnow Pea
And Then You're Dead
Saints: The Standard of Truth

Two are from Paradigm that always intrigued me, one I found an excerpt in The Ensign from and the other just looked interesting.

I've started teaching at the ESL center! In fact, I have my second class tomorrow morning, and Atlantean and I got a chance to go to a party for Volunteer Appreciation, which was pretty cool. I got a picture (which I took) and a card (which one of  my students wrote in her adorable English. Found in Soul 20, for my progeny)

We  made a list of locations, or places in Logan we want to scout, such as Health Stores, Doctor's offices, swimming pools, etc. Stuff you don't think about til you get there, and I'd love to do some pre-work on that. We are planning on filling out our application to Bridger Pointe Apartments soon. We tried to acclimate our cat to my parent's house, but it went down not well, and it was kind of embarrassing, so we have decided we don't have much of a choice but to keep her, though we will be paying for more expensive housing because of it. But I guess when I got married, I was excited to finally take her away from my parent's house and for her to become my cat and my cat alone (with the exception of Atlantean of course) and she has arguably had the best year of her life so far with us in our cozy apartment, with the most bravery and relaxation I have ever seen from her. Mom says the higher apartment prices are just practice for having kids. I really hope Atlantean (and I, potentially) can find a good enough job to support it.

This morning was awesome! I woke up to driver over and let out the cats and feed them but also made dinner so we can just reheat it when we get home, I managed to exercise and then took a walk while listening to The Adventure Zone, which mentioned French Onion Soup way too much and Atlantean was mentioning because it got him real hungry for it. We have a film festival tonight with Brownie! Admittedly, for kids, but still! I hope it'll be good. If not, we'll just leave I guess lol. I got so inspired by this morning and all the activity I was able to get up to do, that I was reminded of two goals that I just really want in life, and one is to have some kind of small time farm (animals/excuse to get outside) and to be a leader in the community (whether in a political capacity, or in the much more preferable theater/teacher/class capacity. I want to bring people together, and not just kids, but parents too, who need a group where we can work on a project together!)

Atlantean and I are excited to watch the third season of My Hero Academia (admittedly even though it's subbed and not dubbed) using my parents Hulu. ALSO, my parents gave us free reign of their kitchen, so we can eat whatever they have, and then Jinn is starting a Keto diet, so she UNLOADED her pantry and let us have all the excess! It was AWESOME! We have so much filler food! Pasta shells and soup mixes! What a blessing, what a blessing!

Brownie and I met up yesterday to decide what we could do together with our summers considering we will not be doing Sedna, Goddess of the Sea this year. It just didn't feel right and it was too rushed and I lost my star last minute, but on the bright side, we have a lot of good props for when we do decide to put it on. Brownie is such a saint.
Anyway, our plans so far usually include outdoors and animals. I love how similar we are, she is SO awesome! We both like speaking intermittent Spanish, we both like the sound of 90s music! It's crazy! I wanna call her my best friend, but she's so friendly to everyone, I feel like it wouldn't be appropriate? I dunno. I just love doing stuff with her!

My campaign is also going this month. Had to drop the sad moving news to my guild. They were sad, and I don't know if they'll stay together after we go, but Atlantean and I wanted to drop down and do intermittent sessions so I can finish my campaign and we can see them. I can't believe it took me this long to feel friendly with such intelligent people! How I hope two of them get married (fingers crossed! We'll see if they get engaged before we go!) I've also really tried to include Bishop's input on this last mission, because I want the characters to feel something for him. I like playing him and I decided to make a risky executive decision (that went over PRETTY well and should continue to do so if I play my cards right) to basically throw Bishop's character sheet out the window, and have him just have a couple of repeating attacks that I think fit his character rather than making D&D fit him. Yeah, unconventional, but that's the way he needs to roll. I can't keep getting caught up in the details. He dus what he dus.

This past month, I did lose my phone for two weeks. I actually just straight up lost it so there is no happy ending to this story other than the fact that my dad is giving me an iPhone 7 to borrow. I texted Atlantean the Friday night of March the 15th about something about coming home or something, and I exited the CAB East building to get in my car and I never saw it again.

We also have two weddings coming up, I forgot if I already mentioned this, but Elf is getting married! (old family friend) and if she comes enough into my life, I will have to come up with a name for her (Elfette? lol) and Siren is getting married to her beloved Bugbear (that is totally an appropriate name! lol)

Wolfman's still on his mission. Mermaid's preparing to go, and for my 22nd birthday, Atlantean and I are going to FanX! Because our My Hero Academia shirts didn't come in time, we decided to wear all of our superhero paraphernalia, me Superman and him Green Lantern. He's been scrambling for more Green Lantern stuff because my Superman collection puts his to SHAME. (I got to go through it and exhibit it to him last night lol)

Still currently trying to animate with Sylph, going okay I guess. It's hard to do my part. Drawing stuff over and over is not that fun. Trying to do all the fun stuff I wanted to do without breaking the bank before we go! Here's to Logan!!! :D
