May on Instagram

May 1st: I went to lunch with my Dad and we got fortune cookies to top
off our meal.  This is what my fortune said and I was quite pleased, so
I had to share.  I must say, so far this is very true.
May 5th:  We had a small gathering to celebrate Danny's graduation.
I concocted this sign for the event. 
May 11th:  As a graduation present, I suggested to Danny that we should
 go out for sushi (Danny's favorite).  I was showing off my limited
chopstick skills in this pic.
May 13th - I asked Danny to get some strawberries from the grocery
store for dinner.  He asked if I wanted anything else, to which I replied,
"Surprise me."  This was what Danny came back with as his "surprise".
I think I should use a different expression next time and just say,
"Buy me flowers."
May 15th - Twenty years ago, my grandma took me and my brothers to
see "Jurassic Park" in the theater.  We returned the favor and took her
to "Jurassic Park" in 3D. Well, my brother Mark came up with this plan
and invited Danny and I to come along.  I jumped just about as much
watching it the second time as I did the first time.
May 19th - Danny and I like to go on Sunday walks.  This is a view from
one of our walks around Sugar House Park.
May 25th - My sister Noelle, being the nice person she is, invited us over
for dinner as her graduation gift to Danny.  She made jambalaya and
 apple pie and Danny was very pleased.   One of my favorite parts of the
evening was playing with my baby nephew!  I call this photo
"baby sitting".
May 25th:  He was in the middle of telling me stories.
May 27th:  For Memorial Day, we visited my grandparents' headstone.
I love and miss my grandma and grandpa.
May 27th:  Also on Memorial Day, I went to lunch with my mom and then
we went on a walk around Thanksgiving Point, one of our favorite places.
It has such pretty scenery.

    Love your fortune! Is that walk by the creek really in Sugarhouse Park? I can't believe it. It sure wasn't like that when I lived there!
    Love the flowers in the last pic, and like you I think I'd prefer flowers to Mtn Dew and Reeses!

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 th...

Birthday Week!

By
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...

One of Those Nights

By
You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
