Another Weekend Has Come and Gone...

Last weekend was another jammed packed weekend of fun.  I suppose I could do updates of my actual weeks, but those aren't nearly as exciting, in my opinion.  Anyway, last weekend...

Friday

We went out to dinner with our wonderful friends, Rachel and Joey.  Rachel and I were once roommates, which was a beautiful time.  We went out for Thai food and I learned that the spicy scale differs from each restaurant.  Medium spicy at the last restaurant we went to was just right.  Medium spicy at this particular restaurant was scorching hot.  I went through 4 glasses of water.  However, other than that, we had fun visiting and laughing.

After dinner, being the thrilling people we are, Danny and I went to the grocery store.  It was needed.

Saturday

We got up on the early side to go to our nephew's baptism.  The cute, hilarious red head who I call General J on this blog.  It was a sweet event and J was super excited.  I was honored that I was asked to lead the music, even with a mistake or two.  Memorable moments: J and his friend singing a duet together.  They sang out so loud and clear, I was so proud.  Also, during one of the prayers, my three year old nephew B. Anu, chanted that he needed to go potty.  He just so happened to be sitting on my lap at the time, so I was a little nervous.  Fun times.  We gathered for lunch afterwards.  It was a fabulous, family time.

The rest of the day was filled with chores.  I even tried out my green thumb and planted a few flowers in our little flower bed.  We will see how long they survive.

Sunday 

First, church, where we were asked to substitute in Primary.  We taught the 5-6 year old kids.  They were a bit of a handful, but we had fun.  We played our favorite game, the compliment game, where you toss around a stuffed animal and compliment the person you throw it to.  The kids seemed to like it.  They were very good at complimenting each other's ties and shoes.

After church, meetings, more meetings.  Then a quick video chat with Danny's brother and his family. I put up a few decorations in the backyard and we had a dessert night to celebrate Danny's graduation!  Danny didn't want to walk at commencement, but I felt like we should still have some type of celebration.  Here are a few pics from the get together.

Congratulations Danny!  So proud of you!

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

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 th...

Birthday Week!

This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

Blogging is still cool, right?

I woke up this morning missing my blog. My very early 2000's blog. I had one called The Life of Jannifer during my 20's/single years. Then I had this one from 2010 - 2015 during my early married years. Then I have a website janniferwood.com where I tried to show I'm a serious writer. I still have that website and I'm still trying to show that I'm a serious writer. However, I missed my place of silliness, this little blog. Or I miss being younger, one of the two. Why not post after 7 years?  Also, I find the title of this blog funny because there are a select few people in my life who call me Jan. Most of them are family members or old friends. The even rarer is Janni, which is reserved for some of my nephews and a few other loved ones. My given name, Jannifer, is usually what I go by, but this also tends to be the most confusing for some reason. That whole A and not E throws people. So, I'll stick with Jan on this one.
