Can't think of a creative title...

First and foremost, though he doesn't read my blog, I want to wish my awesome brother a very happy birthday...there ain't no other like my brother!!! ;) (Ashley, you can tell him I posted it on my blog!) :)

Just thought I'd give a quick update. Life is good in the Turner household! This week we went to my first NBA game (Jared went to one when he was 8). We went and saw the Charlotte Bobcats play the Philadelphia 76ers (haha....yeah, definitely not the most popular teams!). But it was fun and I can say that I've been there and done that. There were so many parents with children there, so I'm sure that I'll make it to at least one game with Jared and our children some day. :) We also went to Lake Norman (about 20 minutes away from us) and enjoyed a dinner at a lakeside restaurant last night. We sat outside on the deck that overlooks the lake...it was beautiful and romantic...we loved it! :)

We were both a little sad on the day of the one year anniversary of the VT tragedy. We felt like we should have been in Blacksburg on that day, and yet, we were both a little grateful we weren't there. It was a strange feeling. Our thoughts were definitely in the mountains of Virginia on Wednesday though.

Work is still going well for both of us. Both of our supervisors are on vacation this week, which is nice. We like them both, but it's always nice to have a little bit less pressure at work. :) Jared is going to the races THREE weekends in May (thankfully two weekends he will be at the track in Charlotte!), but we're definitely not going to see each other much on the weekends. So, for all of you who have said, "We'd love to come and visit you and go shopping, etc." May will definitely be a good month for you to come!! Though I'm bummed that I won't get to see my man much on the weekends in May, it's a great opportunity for Jared and I'm so proud of him. :) His schedule is still so much better here than it was the last couple of months in Blacksburg...we are so thankful that God has blessed us so much!

We hope everyone has a great week! I am already counting down the days to the weekend and seeing some of you!!! :) :) I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! :) :)
