KerMatt: Happy Easter!

...and a happy April! This year is flying by and we are excited about some great things coming up. This post will sum up our past couple weeks.

Keri got to spend the last week of March in Fairfield with her family, while Matt stayed in Utah for school. She had a blast while Matt enjoyed his time alone :)

The highlights from Keri's visit home:

Helping paint & redecorate my parent's guest bathroom (and seeing my little bro get excited about the redecorating)
Watching "The Last Song" with my parents and my brother, Josh
Taking my niece, Jayla, to play with my bro, Bo, and my mom
Hiking at Rockville Park with my mom and their dog, Elvis
Taking the BART to San Francisco with my parents - eating at Cheesecake Factory, shopping at H&M and making them walk to Chinatown with me to find a gorilla-shaped hand massager
Attending a spaghetti dinner for my dad's VFW group
Dinner with my grandma and then going to a wonderful musical fireside with her and my parents
Spending a day with my little bro, Seth, and my mom (while Seth stayed home from school) - even having lunch with Grandma and my dad
Putting together a shelf for the guest bathroom - and torturing my dad with my unconventional carpentry
Playing "Name That Tune" with Josh, until he started cheating with his Droid applications
Seeing my old Scandia friends and hitting up the batting cages with Seth

Highlights of Matt's time home alone:

Winning a game of Frisbee Golf with our FHE Group
Playing poker with the boys on Del Taco Tuesday (the usual 8 tacos plus a churro)
Playing basketball
Better sleep schedule surprisingly with Keri gone :( Even making it to church choir for the first time, even though Keri has been trying to get him to go for months now
Interview with WaveTronix
ASM Officer party at NickelCity - his team even won at Laser Tag

Surprisingly Matt survived without Keri to feed him, just proving to Keri that he is quite capable of taking care of himself.

Keri returned the Friday before General Conference to attend the Jabbawockeez concert with Matt at SLCC. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Jabbawockeez, they are a hip-hop/b-boy dance crew from San Diego who won the 1st season of MTV's American Best Dance Crew. We watched them while they were on the show and were excited to hear they were coming to "little" Salt Lake.

Check out this video for a sample of their awesomeness:

We loved the concert and want to see them again in Vegas now!!! The Jabbawockeez are seriously some great dancers and so clean as a dance crew and they put on a cool show (even doing the Beyonce "Single Ladies" dance).

Matt's friend C-Bass even came up from Arizona to perform with a local dance group who opened the show and he was definitely the best performer out there! We loved cheering him and loved hearing all the great comments about him around us. Go C-Bass!

We loved watching General Conference and then spent a wonderful Easter Dinner at Keri's Aunt Liana and Uncle Peter's House. They always put on a great dinner and even decorated the tables with little easter baskets. It's so nice to have family around to spend holidays with!

The past week has been a usual busy school/work week for KerMatt, although we did find time to attend Keri's friend, Aaron's, wedding reception. We also went to a Raqlette Cheese & Chocolate Fondue Party at our friends, Brian & Lyndsay's (Matt eating only the food, no cheese of course). Matt put on his ASM Closing Social last night (complete with a nice plated dinner, prizes and a game of Techie Jeopardy between the students, professors and PwC reps).

We are looking forward to Matt finishing classes this week then plowing through finals. His birthday is on the 21st with his Graduation just days later, which his parents are flying out for. And we are also coming upon our 1st Anniversary (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=111820975506304)!!!

We love you all and hope April is bringing good things for you!
