Saturday Night

Tonight had been....boring. First off, I got to go into work at 6 am this morning. Wopee! Then I came home and chilled for a while. I got dinner ready (at like noon). Here's the story. Large piece of beef rubbed in goodness with onions and carrots and 1/2 cup beef broth in the crockpot for 4 hours. On high. Mistake numbers 1 and 2. The carrots tasted like meat and the meat was chewy and hard. Mashed Potatoes. Didn't get cooked long enough so they wouldn't mash. We had lumpy potatoes. :( The gravy was lumpy too... The crescent rolls come out ok though!! So i ate about 4 of them. Note to self: next time cook on LOW the whole time, no beef broth, and cook the potatoes longer!! I'm a terrible cook, and Brennen's usually pretty good about eating the new things I try to make. We usually end up eating a desert or something afterwards though. :)

Rest in Peace

Yesterday marked the end of a long life for a couple of my belongings.

1. My belt.

I got this belt on my honeymoon haha..because i forgot to bring one with me. :) or maybe I didn't forget... ;)

2. My headphones.

these were attached to my

3. mp3 player that brennen got me for Christmas..

SAD DAY!!! :'( I put them both through the wash.

Rest in peace Grace's belongings. You will be missed.

30 Minutes

alright all. 30 minute blog post! haha, just kidding, that would be a MASSIVE post! I'll keep it short and simple. Went cross-country and downhill skiing on monday and saturday and can i just say

I. HURT.

Yesterday i could hardly move and sunday i was exhausted all day long. But sunday meant dinner with my family!!

I only get down there about every other week. I love going for dinner because

1. my padre is an excellent cook

2. i get to spend time with my fam

3. we can do laundry for free

4. i get to bring home lots of goodies

apple turnovers and banana bread, not to mention leftover hawaiian haystacks....mmm mmmm GOOD! :) we've been eating pretty darn good for the last few days :)

Back to skiing. We have a love/hate relationship.

I feel i was much better at cross country skiing...but even then i wasn't that good.

To tell you the truth, i REALLY didn't want to go downhill skiing. I knew i would be awful and sure enough..i was right. i burst into tears the first five minutes. poor brennen. I couldn't evven get up to the bunny hill :( i was so frustrated, that on top of the stress that i was feeling about the whole thing. UGH. I definitely crashed a few times, even took out a "fence" ha ha. it's probably a good thing we might not be able to go again this winter. I'm a danger to society on those things.

pictures to come.

D.I. Shopping

I love going to the D.I.. Most of the time I just go to look and sometimes I finds some treasures. Like these wood blocks for just 50 cents a piece! They're sitting on my bookshelf right now!

And I got these cute shoes (hardly worn at all) for $2.

I've been wanting some white flats for a while now.

AND I got my ring back finally! It only took them 1 1/2 weeks to get it back to me! We never got any wedding pictures of our rings, so here's one I took..

The Strikers

Brennen (and me, but mostly Brennen) has this bowling league..It's pretty fun. We're basically amazing. That's all. Here are a few pictures of our little escapades:

Kevin and Audrey, Dexter and Rustelle
