Easter at our place was a quiet affair this year–we celebrated by having creamed eggs and toast for brunch (family favorite recipe!), enjoying the messages and music of Christ’s resurrection and Atonement at church, and then came home to a perfect pot roast dinner. Even though Matt wasn’t too big on the idea of going …
Baby Animal Days Date
Matt and I have been trying to switch up our date plans a little bit from the usual dinner-and-movie combo, so when we heard that Baby Animal Days was happening right now, we just knew we had to go.Besides, both of us have seriously been feeling the lack of pet stores around here (sometimes you …
Here’s What’s Cooking…Golden Honey Pan Rolls
I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect roll recipe and while I haven’t quite found my goes-with-everything bit of fluffy roll perfection, I sure have had fun trying! I think that Matt secretly hopes that I’ll never quite find it so that we can keep trying out all sorts of yummy new rolls. One …
Goal Check-Point

And of course, the whole lovely scene took place in our sunny kitchen in the quiet of late afternoon. Perfect! *Just to clarify, I didn’t get the university’s spring break this …

Until now. On Saturday afternoon, my mission president was put in as a General Authority in our church. Pretty sweet, eh? Anyway, because of this, …
Marathon Training, Week Thirteen
Well here I am, less than three weeks away from marathon day, and I’m still thinking that this training will just go on forever. Matt keeps saying how he can’t wait until “this dang marathon” is just over and done with, but I think I’m going to have a harder time. I once read something …
Creepy Red-Eye Man
In case you needed fresh proof that the human race is indeed getting stranger (not to mention sketchier), I ask you to gaze on this little sign that I found taped up at the bus stop as I waited to take the shuttle up to campus. I sincerely hope with everything in me that it …
