The Hochs: Mothers, Birthdays and Concerts...

Just a little of what has happened since my last post. It's interesting how busy life can get even while you are trying to start a career. After studenting teaching was completed Tyler went back to working at Weber State. It was nice to start getting a little money coming in again. I started working as a substitute teaching. I was loving it, but it's not always consistent. So this month I started working at Weber State with Tyler also. Days when I sub and work that night are crazy to say the least, but it does keep my mind distracted from thinking about constantly applying for jobs. Tyler and I have had a couple interviews this month but nothing set in stone yet. So working 10-12 hour days really helps sometimes, and then at night I sleep like a baby.

So Mothers Day came and went, I had all intentions of blogging about however work has been pretty busy the last 3 weeks. We decided to go down to Midvale and surprise my mom since she has a hard time with the move. Moving away from family, and friends, and especially 2 wonderful grandsons have been hard. We went over and watched the new Narnia movie with them. And of course we called up my favorite #2 mom Debbie (tyler's mom). I love sitting back and listening to Tyler have conversations with his family, expecially Debbie. I always ask him to put it on speaker phone. I can just tell that she loves all her children and in-laws to the moon and back. I am so lucky to be part of that kind of love! I hope to be half as wonderful of a mom as those two women!

My lovely mother

During our visit Tyler and I helped my parents put up their shelves,

it was interesting to say the least.

Then last week came Tyler's 25th birthday! It's crazy for me to think how fast time is going. His birthday was on the 21st...you know the end of the world! Well, I'm glad it wasn't I would like to make it to my 25th birthday too! We went out to lunch to The Old Grist Mill here in Ogden - a gold mine! Fabulous sandwiches, soups, and cookies! I go for the soup, Tyler for the cookies. Then we went and watched the new Pirates movie. Surprisingly a decent movie. Tyler received a new phone for his birthday...he really, really, really needed one. With his family's help we got a wii and fifa game. Tyler is now a soccer freak! :)

He's like a little kid in a candy store with his Old Grist Mill cookies.

Then the climax of it all...
Yesterday we went to U2!!! I am not the biggest U2 fan out there, I only know a few songs, but we decided to get graduation gifts for ourselves concert tickets. Tyler chose one, and I chose another. So we went to U2 first, sat 16 rows away from the stage. (It did hurt my heart a little to sit at the rice-eccles stadium with no BYU football players, however I did make sure I didn't wear any red so no one would speculate) It was a fabulous night!
