Sunday, Sunday, Sunday...

Today has been a busy Sunday! We usually get to relax, but today we have had visiting teaching and home teaching come to our home, plus we both went and did our visiting and home teaching. We haven't had much down time. However, we did get to take a little break and we decided to watch President Hinckley's funeral while we ate our dinner (Chicken enchilada's, yum!), since Mike had never seen it. I was yet again extremely moved by the life of this great man, the only prophet I can honestly say I remember. What a wonderful man and a great example! It was enjoyable for me to watch Mike see the funeral for the first time and be equally moved at the life of such an amazing prophet. We both feel blessed to have been able to watch and take part in his years as prophet of our church. I don't think there are words to describe the respect and love that I have for President Hinckley. If you haven't seen the funeral, I suggest going and watching it at ksl.com.

Fun filled Friday evening...

My life sure has changed a lot since getting married. I realize that more day by day. I feel like I am in a good mood more often, have a little more time on my hands, cherish the time I get to spend with Mike even more, cook a lot more, always feel safe, do dishes a lot more, and worry about money a lot more. Tonight is Friday night, before we were married we would usually go out and do something extra fun on Friday to shake off the weeks work. However, tonight I am sitting here, watching my husband write a paper. A paper that is due by midnight, must be 3-4 pages long, and he's on the second paragraph. At least it's just a rough draft right?

Saga of the Toaster Oven...

When we got engaged and started discussing the possibilities of where to register, Mike said that he doesn't care where we register or what we register for just as long as we got a toaster oven. After numerous times of him explaining how many things we could so easily cook with a toaster oven, such as: corn dogs, potatoes, toast (who would have thought!), most meats, and of course - pizza, I gave in. So, although we didn't get one for our wedding we decided to use our gift cards to buy one and I would have given anything to capture the look on my cute husbands face the night we set it up! However, here is a picture with him now - it's close to the actual face, but not quite. :)

Baking, Cooking, and More Baking...

I spent most of today cooking and enjoyed it thoroughly! I made 3 loaves of bread, caramel corn pops, cinnamon pull aparts, and sweetened some pickles. :) It was lots of fun! I was proud of myself so I took a picture. :)

Our First Family Homevening

We didn't do much, but it was still cool to have our first official "FHE". We actually just did some budgeting and read some Jesus the Christ. It was exciting to start that tradition!

The Whoopsie Whoppers

So, here's how it happened... about two weeks ago I wasn't working during the day very much, so I was home a lot and watched quite a few movies. I will fully admit that when I watch movies I usually have to have something to snack on. I have no idea why, but it's like a habit I just can't kick. One day I had a little box of whoppers that I was snacking on and when Mike got home I was so thrilled to have him home that I just left the candy, what was left of it (2 whoppers), on the couch. Later that evening, we sat down to our evening routine of eating dinner and watching a movie or a t.v. episode. After it was over Mike got up to head to bed and I looked down and what else do I see, but two little brown things he had been "sitting on." Needless to say, we had a real good laugh and I have some excellent pictures of the event.
