Crafty Time

On Sunday afternoon, I headed up to the Streams house to make some crafts. I was a little nervous to say the least, since I am not at all a crafty person. I was also a little sad since Adri couldn't make it due to bad weather. The drive on Highway 6 was absolutely beautiful. It was crystal clear and a fresh layer of snow everywhere!!

Everyone trickeled in Sunday afternoon, but man was it a full house with all the kids and grandkids! We had some delicious dinner (and as many cookies as you could ever ask for) and just kind of hung out for the rest of the night. The following morning, Monica showed up and it was time to get to work. We started at about 11am and I didn't finish mine until about 3:30pm! Crafting is HARD WORK! We did get to enjoy some pizza from BK's though! Thanks Carol Ann!!

The finished project

It was so much fun seeing all the girls again. I just wish I hadn't been so sick and could have stayed longer. I hadn't seen them since Stevie's weddding almost 2 years ago!! Thanks you guys for inviting me--hopefully I will see you again in May to finish our 2nd project!!!

Fondue....more like fond DON'T!

So for the first time in a long time, I was SICK on Valentine's Day. There is some nasty bug going around the office and even has a co-worker hospitalized. Well, I wasn't going to let a little cold get my day down. First thing in the morning, my sister in law, Alex, and I went to Marie Calendars to have breakfast with our favorite neices--Madi, Tori, and Elle.

All my favorite neices

After breakfast, I told Jason that for his Valentine's present that he could go pick out a new WII game since we had been budgeting lately and Wii games got cut out of the budget. Of course, he picked Tiger Woods 2009. After getting his game, I took a nice little nap and spent some time reading my newest book--The Appeal by John Grisham. (I know what you are thinking--we are so romantic! :)) Earlier on in the week, Jason and I decided to stay in on Valentines Day and have fondue for dinner. So after my nap, Jason started getting the main dish ready--garlic bread, cauliflower, and chicken with chesse fondue. We both tried to take a couple of bites so that the other person didn't feel bad, but never one of us could handle it. It was DISGUSTING!! We ended up having Wendy's $.99 menu for our Valentine's Dinner. Later that night, Jason's mom came over (she was in town visiting) and we made chocolate fondue and dipped a variety of fruits into the fondue. That fondue was much better--but still not so enjoyable. I guess we tried! After the chocolate mess, Jason, me, and his mom played a few rounds of Rumicube and I kicked everyones trash!! Also for Valentine's Day, my lovely husband picked out some sunflowers for me. Sunflowers are my absolute favorite!! and got me a massage to use when I felt up to it.

Even though dinner didn't work out and I was sick, it was still probably one of my favorite valentines cause there was no stress involved and we got to enjoy each other all day long (well except for the breakfast time). I LOVE YOU SUNSHINE!!

What an exciting life I lead...

Still nothing too exciting to report. I have been traveling the last week and a half for work so nothing too exciting to report. The first part of last week I was in Denver for some work training. Than nothing too exciting for the weekend. I swear sometimes I feel a lot older than 26! Than on Monday evening I traveled down to Cedar City for some depositions so I decided to have dinner with one of my cousins, Adri, that lives in Cedar now. We had a great time at dinner and I loved meeting all of her kids. The last time I saw her was at her brothers, Stevie, wedding and that was 2 years ago!

Well, nothing else exciting to report for this week. I don't know what we are going to do on Valentine's Day. I would rather just stay at home and do something special a different day of the week to be honest. And than on Sunday and Monday I am going up to Huntington, Utah to make some crafts and hang out with some of my cousins that I haven't seen in years!! Should be fun and I get a day off of work---what could be better?!

But I hope everyone has a happy Valentines Day or single awareness day--whichever they prefer!
