Water, Weddings and Salsa

This has definitely been the most busy week that Christie and I can remember! We were running crazy. It started Tuesday night with my brother Ryan's wedding dinner. We had some delicious steak and honored him and his wife Tiff.

Wednesday morning we took a practice bus ride to DATC where Christie will be attending school this fall. Of course, we hurried home so we could make it to Ryan and Tiff's wedding in the Bountiful Temple. After the pictures were done there, we hurried and went to Raging Waters (we had to make up for the time we tried to go before.) We didn't have a long time, but Christie and I had an awesome time. I was so proud of her for being brave and doing the biggest slide. We then hurried over to Ryan and Tiff's reception and ate too much chocolate from the chocolate fountain.

Thursday left no time to relax as we worked and then went up with Christie's family and worked until 11:00 pm that night making and bottling Salsa. (Her mom didn't go to bed until probably 2:00 am) It was a lot of work, but we really enjoyed it and love our Salsa!

We're just getting ready for this semester of school - good luck to everyone!

Twilight Series

If anybody knows me really well, they would know that I am not a huge reader unless it is a really really good book. Well... so far the "twilight series" have been really really good books and I can't stop reading them. I just barely finished reading "new moon" (I know I am behind) and I really want to start into the next book "eclipse" before school starts. So I was wondering if there is anybody out there that would let me borrow that book????

The BEST Husband in the WORLD!

Can I just say that I have the most amazing husband in the world. He planned such a special day for me today. I told him that I really wanted to go to Raging Waters before school started because I had never been there before. Well he totally surprised me and called me family and some close friends and invited them to come with us today. I knew something was going on because I was asked to work today and he told me that he had something planned. I thought I knew the plan until he got up and went to work this morning...taking a lunch with him. Little did I know that he just went and worked from the Library at the U making me think he went to work and came back just a little over an hour later (right before Raging Waters opened) and walked in with a cooler full of food and everything packed and ready to go. I was totally surprised!!! Unfortunately we headed to Raging waters and the rain started coming down, and they closed for the day. But I will never forget this day and all that my husband went through to surprise me and do something for me that he knew I would love! See why the title is "the best husband in the world". Thanks BJ you made this day unforgettable.

The "Couch"

Ok so when BJ and I got married we received a lot of wonderful gifts from different family members...including some furniture. My sister in-law Jamie gave us a couch that worked really well for our apartment. It breaks into 3 pieces, it is very light and convenient to get into our apartment on the 3rd floor. It is not however the most comfortable couch to say the least. So when my parents got new furniture for their front room and offered us their nice couch we took them up on the offer! Well....it didn't fit. BJ's brother J.C. came over and helped try to manuever it up the stairwell but it just wouldn't go. Here are some pictures of "the couch" that we unfortuntely had to give back to my parents.

But on a positive note. My parents came to our apartment and we had a nice visit. My dad even got my mom to ride on our new scooter!

Darn...I guess BJ is just going to have to buy me a brand new couch when we move out! :D
