I’ve been told that one of my ancestors was the gardener for the King of Norway. I have absolutely no idea if this is actually true, but there must have been someone in my family who at least enjoyed working with dirt because I’ve always loved gardening and working with plants. Even my high school science fair project had to do with gardening! When we found out that the place we’re renting would have four “square foot gardens,” I was excited! Ever [...]

Life Just Got Cleaner
Tuesday was a great day.
We have a washer and dryer! Hooray!
(I really like doing laundry, actually, so this is a cause for celebration.)
We actually got our washer and dryer delivered last week, but because of some sort of mix-up, Sears delivered a silver washer and a white dryer. We wanted our appliances to match, so Sears agreed to deliver a silver dryer. Thankfully the Sears people said we could use both the washer and dryer until our silver dryer got delivered. [...]

Our Last Weekend in Utah
Here’s a little breakdown of what we did during our last weekend in Utah:
Thursday
Finished packing up things we needed to bring with us to Austin.
Watched the packers pack all of our things.
Ate Del Taco for lunch.
Went to Adam’s eye appointment.
Both got our hair cut by our friend, Nicole.
Went to the Manti Pageant with my family in their big blue van. Ate delicious, homemade 9-inch corn dogs.
Rode with my family back from Manti.
Picked up things from our apartment and drove to [...]

Daily Affirmation
This morning I heard this video playing in the back room. I think this little girl has a great attitude and outlook on life! Sometimes its important to have a positive outlook on life and on our ability to weather the storms that come into our lives. Sometimes we just need to decide that we can do anything good.

Going to the (Y) Ball
Tonight we went on an awesome date.
Some background though.
Today was not-so fun. I got up really early and drove an hour to Salt Lake City to the Family History Library. One of my classes was meeting there. In addition, I had a project to finish up there that was due at 3pm. It stunk being away from Adam all day (poor guy–he stayed at home without a car and cleaned and did homework), and I ended up staying longer than [...]

The Eagle’s Nest
I know we haven’t blogged for a while but we’re going to try to play catch up for a bit! This September my younger brother got his Eagle Scout award! We were so proud of him. This makes 4 eagle scouts in my family with only one more to go. There weren’t a lot of people there but it was fun to have the family and friends there that did come. We just thought we’d share some [...]

A Trip to the “Crossroads of the West”
In August we took a trip back to Utah, the “Crossroads of the West” to spend some quality time with our family! On our flight into Denver, where we had a layover, we saw an awesome lightning storm! We tried to capture it on video and hopefully you’ll enjoy what we were able to capture. No video can do it justice, it was amazing to see the raw power of nature and marvel at God’s creations.
We were delayed coming into [...]

Independence Weekend!
Most people get a three-day weekend for Independence Day. Adam got a FIVE-day weekend. It was AWESOME.
We went to Chuy’s for dinner that Friday. It was oh so tasty. There were a lot of colorful chairs and door frames and artwork. See?
On Saturday night, we went and watched fireworks over “Lake” Austin. We were (pleasantly) surprised to find them on Saturday night at all! They were pretty cool–like our video below shows something that could only [...]
