My energizer bunny

So this week has been long! Super long, super sad, super hormonal...yes I know my life is good, but Satan really has worked hard on me this week. My sweet husband brought these home to me tonight. I love his so much, he is such a wonderful man that puts up with so much and like the energizer bunny keeps on going.

Weekly Update

Even though we had Monday off, this seemed to be a busy week. With Basketball two nights and a new term start at Bingham it seems like some days just flew by. I've finally complained enough to gain better than full access to our new grading system at work and yesterday was probably the most peaceful day I've had! I can now change/update attendance and grades in one click. So nice! Monday we had dinner at Applebees with good friends we were suppose to go miniature golfing but all of us being blessed with the gift of gab ended up talking and telling stories for almost 3 hours. We feel so blessed to have great friends! Today (Saturday) has been a peaceful day including sleeping in, a trip to the grocery store, watching basketball and making homemade Chocolate Carmel cookies, Salsa, Guac and tacos. Oh how I love Homemade Mexican food! It brings wonderful memories of childhood every time I smell the hot chili pequin, and cooking corn tortillas. At least once a month my Dad would fry up homemade corn chips and we would have tacos or enchiladas with Rio's salsa, if you have never made your own chips you are definitely missing out on a choice experience and yes, a lot of oil...

Bigger Pictures

Amy and Wayne's wedding, here are the bigger pictures, crazy me I thought that the collage would open up to full size. I hate adding pics in as they are all out of order, but I'm sure you'll understand what order everything was in. Wedding, luncheon, pictures, reception, dancing. Amy and Wayne made or bought most of their decorations and they were amazing! Wayne does work with Vinyl and Metal and he made the all the words and the wreath holders too. They are beautiful! Plus he did the metal Bishops over the mirror on the middle of the picture table. They are both so talented! They should be arriving home from their honeymoon tomorrow and I'm sure this day, though only a week ago, probably feels like it lasted 20 minutes and was a year ago!

Lately

Torture 1Torture 2We've been up to a lot lately, cooking at home, working out with what I now call Torture 1 and Torture 2 there are better names, I am just trying to be good...
We are doing a family fitness challenge with Chad's family and it has really helped us to be good, no soda, lots of exercise, plenty of fruits and veggies and more sleep. Yep the end is near ;) actually it's been really good. We're getting a lot done and having fun growing in new ways.
This last week we participated in Amy and Wayne's wedding. They definitely know how to party! We are so happy for them and really enjoyed being a part of their big day. Here are a few pics of the great day.

Back to work!

Totally long day!!! After 2 weeks off, going back to work was hard! On top of that we started the New Year off with a Family Fitness Challenge. So far we have been perfect! Exhausted, a little craving sweets and soda, but perfect! Tonight I was suppose to go to a Bridesmaid/Bride dinner for my good friend Amy who is getting married this Saturday, but my sweet husband who is so much better at listening than I am, felt that I needed to stay home. I know it is only January but I'm tired of the snow!
So instead of going out we stayed home, worked out and made Italian Wedding Soup...I would say in honor of Amy and Wayne for the upcoming wedding...but yeah not really, it was because it is 15 degrees outside and soup sounded so good! And it was, if there ever was a BTS soup this may be it! Okay so maybe it's that I'm tired and also trying to not eat my entire pantry, but it rocked!

Happy New Year!

We had a great New Year, we attended a wonderful wedding for a good friend and then brought in the new year with a quiet evening hanging out with each other. We had a blast, and yes, I kicked Chad's butt at several new games!

New Years Day we watched football, played with friends and left to go hang with other friends for a great dinner and cards. A great way to start in the New Year!
