Wingin It!

All I have to say is that it was bliss!

Ugh!

I've put it off for too long. And I'm not allowed to play Super Nintendo til it's done.

Blast from the past

I got a Super Nintendo when I was in high school for Christmas one year. It's been at my parents house all these years and I finally brought it home. Super Mario brings back so many floods of memories. I still rock at it though. It's been fun to relive those memories and have something new to do with some of my spare time. Scott said that it would make him appreciate his Xbox 360 even more. But it is SUPER fun!

Garden update

We have strawberries!
And our pepper is getting so big!
Our sugarsnap pees are finally growing up.
And our green beans are growing like crazy!

Also we have our first little tomato. The neighbors that live around are all jealous because none of them have tomatoes coming up yet and we do.

On a sadder note, our cucumbers have killed over. Not sure why but they didn't succeed.

But I am still proud of us, being first time gardeners and all.

There is a first time for everything.

For Scott's birthday week I tried to make him some special food, since he loves food. I made meatloaf for the first time. I know that probably sounds crazy but meatloaf is by far my least favorite dish in the world. I don't like ground beef at all and especially not with the meatloaf ingredients. But Scott loves it and I wanted to make it for him. It turned out really good and Scott was in heaven. It was actually pretty easy, I can't believe I've never made it before. Then on his birthday all he wanted was potato salad, pasta salad and smokies. It was super tasty. That's what he would have every year for his birthday. I need to branch out on cooking more often, it was fun!

Road Rage

This has gotten worse since I've moved to a small town. Each time I come up to SLC I am reminded of how annoying drivers are here. I think that people need to retake driver's ed every 5 years. For instance, the left lane is called a "passing lane", it is not just an extra lane for traffic to hang out in. You use it to pass people and then you get over. If there is someone behind you going faster and wanting to pass you, it is now a law that you HAVE to move over for them, even if they are going 100 MPH, you are breaking the law by not moving over to let them pass. I'm not saying that Price drivers are better because they are still typical Utah drivers, but we don't have the traffic to make it obvious. I've driven in quite a few states in this country and Utah by far is the worst. (Now I don't know how any of my Utahn blogger friends are good or bad drivers so I'm not making a shot at any of you, just venting.)

So the 2 things that got me out of my frustrated mood?
and

Farewell Jo-Kenzie

Scott's truck Jo-Kenzie (named by my nieces Ali-Jo and Kenzie) has been for sale for a year now and it finally sold! We loved this truck but with Scott going back to school we knew we couldn't keep it. Thanks to some help from Scott's parents it finally sold. It's a bitter/sweet departure but it will have a great time in Kentucky now.

Happy Birthday Scott!

Today Scott turns 27! We are getting so old. I'm not far behind him. I could make a list of all the reasons I love Scott but it would take me a long time, I think I will save those thoughts for my journal. But I wanted to do a post in honor of him. I love you babe!

Our little garden

Scott and I planted a garden! Our good friends had some extra garden space so they gave us a good size square. It is growing way fast. We planted it a week ago and they are already getting big. But we have to be patient now and just wait for them to be ready.

This is our green pepper plant. We already have a small pepper growing on it.
Our strawberry bush is growing a flower. Can't wait for the strawberries!
This is our growing tomato bush. Scott is excited for this one.
These are our sugar snap peas. We used seeds for these ones instead of plants, and they are finally popping up.

These are our green beans and they were also planted with seeds. They will be super yummy!And lastly we have our cucumbers.

San Rafael Swell

I have to say that I love summertime. Scott and I get to do a lot of fun things together around Price. We try to think of fun/inexpensive places to go and visit. A friend of mine had told me about a place called San Rafael Swell. It is about an hour drive from Price and some call it a "Little Grand Canyon." It was amazing! There weren't many people there and it was just so quiet and peaceful. The pictures really don't do it justice, it was so beautiful. We hiked down a little bit to get some better pictures. We did it very quickly as their were 2 storms headed at us in 2 directions. You could hear the thunder and see the lighting. Luckily we got back up to the car before it started to rain. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment!
