#294- Singing in the car with Eric.
#296- Eric sang the song "Don't Ya" to me over and over. It was hilarious and cute. He reallllly loves that song so he put it on repeat and sang it at least 7 times in a row.

#305- I got to go love on her babies this weekend.
#306- the court only took 3 weeks to get our certification done and usually it takes at least 8. Our caseworker was very surprised and said he has a few other families that have been waiting over a month and half with no word from the court yet and ours came back so quickly.
#307- we are officially certified to adopt!
#308- even though we haven't gotten pregnant, we are able to expand our family in another way.
#309- Erica's husband offered to make a video for our adoption profile and blog for free.
#310- Eric got to go on a 3-day horse trip with his bro-in-law and a friend.
#311- I felt calm about him going even though it is a dangerous trip.
#312- I was able to stay in our apartment alone two nights and not be freaked out.
#313- I was able to do almost all of the laundry and clean our apartment really good while he was gone.
#314- the retail therapy night that mom, Noni, and I had this weekend. We got some great stuff. :)
#315- the new shelf I got from the Goodwill furniture store that just opened. Its a really cool bookshelf and now our school stuff doesn't have to always be sitting on our dining table.
#316- Eric and the other boys were safe on their trip.
#317- I was so excited to see Eric when he got back- I missed him so much!
#318-#319- I told Eric how grateful I was that he was home.
#320-#321- I told Eric I was thankful they were safe on their trip.
#322- I am able to talk/text Eric anytime- when he was on his trip I wasn't able to talk to him the entire time, so I went 3 days without being able to communicate at all with him, plus he was on a dangerous trip, so I am just really grateful that I can talk to him basically whenever I want each day.

#324- my sister-in-laws baby is here and healthy.

It was nice of her to think about how it can be hard for me to hold everyone else's babies but not get to have my own, and I appreciated her sincere, heartfelt comment. It was very sweet.
#327- I have the chance to be in a biggest loser contest with some friends and strangers.
#328- I was the week 1 biggest loser, losing 7lbs/4% of my body weight in one week. I got $25 for being the weekly winner- which was cool because I put in $20 to be in the contest and made that back the first week, plus $5.
#329- I made a goal to go to the gym 2 times a week and I've been able to meet my goal the past 2 weeks.
#330- we got to meet with our new bishop and talked about adoption stuff and he is so excited for us and really wants to help us get a baby.
#331- for all of the bishops we've had so far. We've been really blessed to have had really special and incredible bishops since we've been married.
#332- Even though Eric was gone this weekend, I was able to get up and go to church on my own.
#333- It was fun to type this number because its all the same key! Even the # sign.
#334- that even though I got called into the primary again, I am blessed with a good class of sunbeams, and my co-teacher, Ashely is very nice! I really like her.
#335- Ashley is pregnant right now from IVF, which is really cool. I was worried I'd be co-teaching with a pregnant girl that would complain about her pregnancy the whole time, in combination with teaching sunbeams. I had a bad attitude when I was first called, but was very quickly humbled and am enjoying my calling.
#336- I had to teach alone this Sunday because Ashley's 2 year old daughter was sick and she stayed home, but only 3 kids came to class and they were so much fun.
