November on Instagram

Nov. 2 - Attending to my civic duties, early might I add.
Nov. 2- Date night with Danny and a reward for attending to my
civic duties.  I was really brave and tried the pumpkin smoothie.
It tasted like pumpkin pie, how heavenly.
Nov. 5 - The correct way to celebrate Bon Fire Night aka Guy
Fawkes Day.  PS My sister and I held a Cadbury chocolate tasting
test that evening.  Fruit & Nut came out the winner for me.
Nov. 5 - Oh remember, remember the 5th of November.  Fire burn
and cauldron bubble.  Errr, that's not how that poem ends, but
it is also British, so it works, right?
Nov. 7 - Sister Lunch!  Noelle had an appointment in SLC, so she came
and hung out with me afterwards.  Also a little shout out to Kneaders,
since our lunch was delicious.
Nov. 7 - I work with photographers; therefore, I get to go to very
picturesque places.
Nov. 8 - U of U Sculpture Club Open House.  I liked the sculpture of the
little blobs conspiring together or singing in a choir, one of the two.
Nov. 8 - The reason I attended the sculpture club open house was because
Danny was there rocking off  the faces of those in attendance along with
his talented friends Alex and Jack.  You can listen to a small piece of
the musical performance here and here .  It does not disappoint.
Nov. 10 - The Ice Age is a Upon Us.  We got pounded with snow one
weekend and I found the dinosaurs that sit in our study window with
the winter scene behind them rather ironic.
Nov. 17 - My sister-in-law Katie put on a Lindt chocolate tasting party,
which was oh so scrumptious.  I loved the white coconut chocolate!
Nov. 17 - Another view of the chocolate tasting table.
Cue the mouth watering.  Check out my Katie's dessert blog!
She has the most delicious, sweet recipes on it.
Nov. 19 - After a few particularly stressful days, Danny brought home
this festive bouquet to help me feel better.  That Danny is a keeper.
Nov. 22 - My contribution to Thanksgiving dinner.
Nov. 29 - Festival of Trees!
Nov. 29 - A perfect evening for volunteering.

    Looks like you've had a great month. (Well mostly). Love your dinosaurs in the ice age, and your photography picture. Is that wheat?

      It's actually a reed type plant down in a marshy area near the Great Salt Lake.

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
