Weekend Happenings

This past weekend was a fun one.  I had goals that included cleaning and weeding, but those took a backseat to ummm, fun things.  These things happen.

We had another picnic in the park, this time with KFC.  The husband had the great idea to make our picnic classy and brought some sparkling apple cider.  The classiest glasses we had were ice cream sundae glasses, but it worked for me.  My favorite of the evening was Danny opening the apple cider using a broken pair of finger nail clippers I found in my purse.  It was sanitary, don't worry.

Danny and I went and saw the new movie "The Avengers".  I see a lot more action movies now that I'm married.  The movie was entertaining.  It's not one that is really intellectually stimulating, but the graphics are cool and overall it's fun.  Iron man is my favorite of those make-believe comic heroes.


Saturday evening we went to a Cinco de Mayo party, hooray for Mexico!  There was so much delicious guacamole, my taste buds were happy.  It was also wonderful to see some great friends and enjoy good conversation.
So much good food!

Apparently food is an important aspect of weekends.  I think I need a more active life.  But until then, I ventured in the unknown world of cooking curry.  This was a very mild recipe, but it turned out really good.  Next time I think I'm going to try a little less lime and a little more curry.

    It looks like fun, of course, but I must admit that I am glad that Dad and I watch more bonnet movies than action ones.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
