Springtime at the Sommerfeldts

Dear faithful blog-followers - sorry for the long absence. Here are some of the causes/excuses...

Valentine's Day dinner!
Valentine's cookies

Competing in DanceSport with our Social Dance class that we took together


Ice carving date *note to self: don't EVER do this inside again...!

Ryan finishing the Provo Temple
My penguin carving

With my cousins at my Grandpa Parks' funeral in Boise, Idaho


With my dad outside their old house - now a cafe in Eagle, ID

Graduating from BYU with a BA in Spanish Translation

With my family! *Ryan's family attended, too, but I think the pictures are on Lisa's phone because I don't have them...


My graduation gift from Ryan! Roses and a new blender :)

Visiting the zoo!!!!!!!!!



My favorite exhibit :)

Going flying (and camping) with the Matthews (Ryan and Michael took turns flying - Katherine and I watched :)  )



He loved it :)



Overall we have had a great spring - along with these fun adventures, Ryan has been working two jobs, I've been working as a project manager at a translation company. I just switched to full time hours and Ryan works probably 40-50 hours a week between his jobs. On top of that, we have our church callings, weekly visits to members of the ward, family dinners and events, and our party equipment rental business to manage. We're busy until 9:30 or 10:00 most nights... it's been crazy and a little difficult at times. But it's worth it to get us through school :)

Ryan also just got accepted to the Accounting program at BYU, so he will start that in the fall. He hopes to do an internship next year and has an interview set up already with WalMart corporate for their combined Accounting/Finance internships they have in the summer. We may end up in Arkansas next summer, but we'll see.
