Food and Fevers...

Nothing too much has happened this week.  My sister and her kids came up to visit for the day on Friday before I had to go to work and it was pretty fun to see them!

Work has been same-old-same-old.  I'm working lots now before school starts which is good.  We are always so grateful for our jobs and the money they provide for us to survive.

Though… Sometimes you have to have a little fun too…

I had been saving up tips from work for a little while to put towards an iPad Mini for Steven (as an early birthday present).  He wanted to upgrade to a smartphone but decided getting a tablet would be a better value for our money.  He didn't know how much I had saved up which was kind of fun!  Especially fun to see how happy he was now that he had something more up-to-date to use for school and his calling!

This morning I woke up with a sore throat and tonight have been running a fever of around 101 degrees.  So hopefully I either get lots better by tomorrow so I can go to work, or they can find someone to cover for me.  Mondays are generally pretty slow anyways so I honestly think they could do without me but there is no way I can serve food with a fever!! 

Steven also made dinner again this Sunday (which was EXTRA nice since I wasn't feeling all too well in the first place).  He made something from scratch from his culinary arts textbook he got a while back when he was pursuing that as a minor.  It was DELISH!  So rich and yummy!

Until next time!

Summertime is Fleeting!!

This summer has gone by too quickly… Steven finished the spring semester out with A's (way to go, honey!) and the remainder of the summer we have spent working and trying o relax before school starts again in September.

We celebrated ONE YEAR of MARRIAGE last month!  Oh my goodness this first year went by so fast!!  We celebrated by doing a few proxy sealings in the Idaho Falls temple followed by some window shopping and a lovely dinner at this small Italian restaurant Steven found.  It was wonderful to be able to spend some time together and to reflect on our year together.  We are so excited for so many more to come!!  Of course I had to take a few pictures of us for our anniversary so here are a few!

Steven and I went to a concert a few weeks ago that was on campus!  Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band came to play for Education Week and we got tickets!  It was lots of fun, and they are WAY good!  We also had 3rd row seats!!  Way fun!!

We also had the privilege to have some of our family come up to visit!  My sister and her family came up for a day and a night and it was nice to see her and her boys.  My mom also came up to visit for a few days this week and, boy, was it so nice to see her!!! I hadn't seen my mom since Christmas!!!  I was WAY over due to have some good mommy-daughter time!  Mom also took us on the carousel that is just a block away from our house.  It was so fun!

Glen enjoys some homemade salsa thanks to mom's supply of home grown tomatoes!

Things have gotten interesting at work.  The owners are going through some transition periods in their personal lives and half of our staff either graduated or found other employment, so the past few weeks I have been putting in lots of hours.  Right now it kinda stinks, but I am excited to see what that paycheck will look like!!  We have been training lots of new people recently though so hopefully by the time school starts we will have a full staff once again, which will be good because I cannot keep working like this once the semester starts… With 14 credits, work, and keeping up with things here at home I will be one busy girl!

Hopefully when we are on a more regular life schedule I will be better at updating our lives here.

Until next time!
