One thing I’d always looked forward to after getting home from my mission was going to mission reunions. Since my mission president is from Guatemala, however, that hadn’t exactly happened. 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, …
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 …
Fresh-Made Salsa and New Bangs
We acquired a lot of produce over the weekend thanks to another Bountiful Basket from my mom, so we figured what better way to start using it all than by making homemade salsa? I used to work in a Mexican food booth on campus for a couple years, and while there, I learned how to make a simple …
New Hair, New Woman
Don’t you just love how a new haircut/color can just make you feel like reborn? With this new ‘do, I’m feeling a bit edgier…like maybe I’ll go to bed at 11 instead of 10:30 tonight. Rebellion, here I come! And just in case you were wondering what I’d look like with black teeth, here you …
Triple Birthday Threat
March 11th is all excitement at our house, because we get to celebrate not just one, but THREE birthdays: my brother’s, my stepdad’s, and my grandma’s. It’s awesome. Since my grandma has been recovering from a serious ankle break, we had the entire extended family up to the rehabilitation center for Bingo (“Bloom”) and cake …
Family Night, Bieber Style
This is what we do for family night when Matt has a pending haircut the next day: We turn him into Justin Bieber, of course. Then we laugh and take pictures and say how weird it’s going to be when he has short hair. But when all is said and done, he’s still the handsomest …
Pot Roast & Pals
Guess what? I made my first pot roast ever yesterday. Of course, if it were up to me, I would make pot roast every week for dinner (because it’s probably my favorite meal of all time), but due to those rump roasts just being so darn expensive, I haven’t had much opportunity. But, thanks to …
Spontaneous Cheese Date
Yesterday I came home from the school with a raging headache, only to come home and find Matt at his wit’s end as he slogged through hours’ worth of French homework. Something had to be done. We needed some cheap cheese, and stat. Remember this bad day, when the only fix was a 50-pc. discounted …
