New Job

So I FINALLY got my summer job and it is the best job ever!!! I showed up on Tuesday thinking I was going for an interview so I'm all dressed up in stupid uncomfortable dress clothes and shoes and apparently I was actually there to start work. So my first day consisted of 5 hours of cuddlingbabbies (I know, rough job right?) But to make all you feel sad for me, I was in very uncomfortable clothes and shoes. The next 2 days consisted of playing with the rompers (2 1/2 -3 1/2 years) and taking them for walks along the water front. I have the hardest job EVER!!!! Tomorrow I will be taking 12 rompers bowling..... should be interesting!!! YAY ME!!!!

Update!

I can't wash the cut yet, so it still looks pretty grody, but you can
sort of make out the stitches, all 11 of them!

Jon crashed his bike

We're at the emergency room and he's definitely getting stiches,
update to come.

Some pics to look at!

Our photographer is great! I found her at a bridal fair and she was the only one that wasn't part of some big corporation and snooty. She posted some of her favorite pics so far on her blog so I thought I'd show them to you. This is only the start, this weekend we're picking up the discs that will have hundreds of images to choose from. But we thought we would give everyone a sample so that you can help us choose a good one for our invitations! So leave comments!

Speaking of invitations, we're hoping to send them out the first week of June. I'll send out individual invitations to the addresses Mom provided us (Thanks Mom!) and then also send out a package of invitations to Mom and Dad so that they can distribute them to people in the ward, family friends, coworkers, etc. So if you guys also have people you would like to pass on invitations to, you can do one of two things... You can email me the addresses ASAP, preferably by June 1st (i.tickle.ivory@gmail.com) OR you can send or hand deliver them yourselves and have them be a part of the package I send to Mom. So, if you prefer the latter just leave a comment with the desired amount that you would have that would be great.

As far as the addresses I have been given so far, they're most just Jon's siblings addresses and also Mom and Dad's siblings and their children's addresses.... and gradparents.

So without further adue (sp?).... Here are some sample pictures! Notice the one where we are squatting in the orchard, there are REAL DEER in the background!

This is cute...

I saw this video and I thought you would all enjoy it. Have fun!

A funny thing I heard....

One more thing, we have a show here called American Idol. I'm sure you've all heard of it. Anyway, one of the kids in the top three is from our town here in Murray, Utah and he is LDS; so that is kind of fun.

He said something on the news last week that made me laugh and I thought I'd share the laugh with all of you.

Question by the news- what is your favorite pickup line?
Answer by David Artchileta (I can't spell)- "Do you like water? Then you like 70% of my body."

Have a great one and keep smiling=)
Love from Melissa

Hello Family!!!

Hello Evans Clan,
I hope all of you are doing well. Thank you for the mother's day greetings- happy mother's day to all of you Evans women, and you too Gillian!!! You are pregnant, and going through all that comes with it makes you a mom already!

Tom and I just started a family blog (well Tom is at work and doesn't know it yet). I've never done this before, so it's new. But hopefully it will be good. I sent invites to those of you I have email addresses for. If you didn't get an invite but you would like one, please email me your address and I will add you to our blog. My email is melissaevans97@gmail.com

I love you guys!!!
Luv,
Melissa

Hapy Mothers Day & Mum and Dads Sealing date

Sunday is our sealing anniversary and also mothers day- happy mothers day to Jackie, Sharon, Jennifer, Gillian & Melissa

New Home!

So, to break up the monotony of the "Gillian Posts", I've decided to add a little bit of spice from the life of Jon. Tara and I sat down this morning to work out some marriage stuff, specifically finding a place to live. We found an ad on the BYU website, got in touch with the couple who were selling it, and checked it out this morning. It's a little basement apartment on a quiet street close to campus, which is what we were hoping to find in the first place. To make a long story short, we signed a contract for our FIRST HOME! HOORAY!

The End

P.S. I'm moving in at the end of June, at which point we'll send some pictures, or upload a video tour, or something cool like that.

The End (for real)

Colin

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Great minds think alike Colin! I didn't read your comment before posting my last post. Or I guess we could say fools seldom differ as my dad always used to say.

Gill Is WAAAAAAY Too Bored!

Has anyone else noticed that this has turned into the Gillian Blog? Hmmmmm! Anywho, I just thought I would break it up and post something. So here it is...something.


PS that whole May the 4th thing even though it came from Gill, you have to admit was pretty funny.
