Like I was saying, Ann Arbor has a thing for fairies.
The city has maps available of all the fairy hide outs in the city. There are fairy villages ...
And many of the businesses in town have had fairy doors installed for the many fairy citizens of Ann Arbor. James and I went looking for a few, but apparently there are quite a few more!

Memorial Day
Our family blog has been an extreme misrepresentation of what we have been up to lately. For some reason we just haven't been taking that many pictures. I'm really going to need to step it up.
On Memorial Day I did bring out the camera for our morning activities. Before the lake with our ward friends, James and I went on a bike ride to the university arboretum to see their annual peony beds.

They had so many different colores of peonies. It was super beautiful.
We walked around taking pictures and smelling the flowers for a little until we decided to to visit Ann Arbor's Arb fairy village.
The kids of Ann Arbor build huts every year for the fairies and wood trolls to live in. Ann Arbor has really embraced the fairy houses, and there are fairy doors and villages all over Ann Arbor. You can actually download a map of all the fairy doors in town and go on a hunt to find them! I think we might go on an adventure sometime soon to find them all!
St. Louis
I'm not sure why I never included these pictures in my recent trip with my parents. We were also able to stop by and visit Marissa and Justin for a little while in St. Louis.
While my dad was in a business meeting, we took the day to explore the botanical gardens.
The flowers that were in bloom were very beautiful.

One Year Older, and Wiser Too, Happy Birthday To You!
Earlier this month I was able to go on a trip with my parents to Missouri to celebrate my Great-Grandmother's 90th birthday!
We got to spend some time with Amy, Regan, and Baby Crew.
The girls all went to see the Hunger Games! It was a pretty great movie.
Jenna and Zane were in their school's high school musical this year. Luckily we were in town while it was running and were able to see it! It was a fun night! We all went to dinner before the show and then had a great time watching "Calamity Jane." The girls did a great job!
Sunday afternoon was Grandma's birthday party. Almost the entire family was there!

Published!
James has recently been working very hard on a few publications of his own and in collaboration with professors at both Hopkins and Michigan.
All that hard work has paid off!
Earlier this week, James had his very first (of many) articles published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization entitled "The population-based burden of influenza-associated hospitalization in rural western Kenya, 2007-2009."
Long name. But if you want to check it out, it can be viewed at the link below:

Strikes, Storms, Pasta, and Priesthood
For some reason, I have really neglected the blogging. I thought it was high time I caught you up to speed.
We recently found a place in Ann Arbor that has some serious cosmic bowling. For a mere $12 a person, you get a shoe rental and all you can bowl from 10 p.m. - 2 a.m.
We went with some of our friends and stayed until 2, bowling the night away.

On this outing we were also introduced to our friend's face swapping app. Creepy, no?
On to the next adventure: A tornado decided to grace Washtenaw County. There was hail, flooding, and lots of sirens. We spent an hour halled up in our basement until the danger had passed.
The tornado did not hit our place, but we did spend a couple hours that night bailing 5 inches of water from the basement of a ward member.
Sadly, the tornado damaged 100 houses in the town of Dexter, only about 8 miles from our home. Twelve of those houses were destroyed. James and his friend went on a canoeing trip down the river that runs through Dexter. Trees were down everywhere, and those that were still standing we filled with housing insulation.
On a happier note, I finished our YW camp fundraiser this weekend! It meant lots of noodle cooking for my friend and I, but the dinner turned out well and we made some money for the girls.
Lastly, some interesting Fuller Family News. During the fundraiser James was called by a member of the stake presidency for a meeting. At 7:00 p.m. Saturday night James was extended the calling of 2nd councilor in the Ann Arbor singles ward bishopric. The next day he was sustained and set apart. James called my parents and asked my dad to come up to Michigan to ordain him a high priest. Luckily they were able to come. It was a very special day. There is nothing better than watching the first man in your life ordaining the new man of your life. I'm very thankful for the priesthood and for the worthiness to hold it by the two men who mean the most to me.

A day of transcendentalism and, of course, pie
Today is March 14, and you know what that means!
It's Pi Day!
A hallowed day for those who have dedicated themselves to studies in the area of math or science. Indeed, this is an irrational day once a year when we honor the voluminous mathematical constant that is pi.
I trust none of you forgot to celebrate this meaningful holiday circled by friends and family and munching a savory or sweet pie pastry of your choosing. You can bet I didn't!
Remember - Pi aren't square, pi are round ( oh, I see what you did there ... hehehe)
