I am trying to win something from ModBod and Beth is having a giveaway on her blog here

Tillamook Cheese

I am trying to win Tillamook Cheese here. I really like cheese and Tillamook is the best. My favorite is mild cheddar or mozzarella. We often add mozzarella and olives to a Little Caesar's pizza then put it back in the oven until it is crisp to make a cheap pizza better. I love cheese!

Haircut

So I forgot to post about this but I got a haircut probably 2 weeks ago. I saw in the BYU newspaper at work that they were giving away free haircuts in the WILK if you donate your hair to Locks of Love. So I went over and did it that same day and got 10" cut off. I didn't even tell Brian until he saw it when he got home that evening. He likes it. I love that I don't have to do much with it, the only sad part is that I can't put it in a ponytail. I like it :)

Fishing Success!

We went fishing at Utah lake today with Andrew. Brian and Andrew combined caught 9 white bass and 1 catfish! They were catching them so fast. I did not catch any, but yesterday we also went and I caught a white bass. They are fairly good sized fish, not much meat though. We filleted them when we got home and we are going to eat it all for lunch tomorrow. I ate mine yesterday and it was so delicious!

Brithday

Brian got me a sewing machine for my birthday! I love it so much, and it was only like $120 or something. It works very well and it is the industrial version which they still manufacture because it is very sturdy and reliable. Here is a picture of my sewing corner that I set up. The only bad thing about it is that the closet door only opens a little when I have the table open. He also got me a class at a sewing machine store in Provo. It is a one-on-one class with an expert that works there and she will teach me all about my machine, how to upkeep it, setting the tension, and other cool things. That way I can use it the right way and it could work very well for me for the next 10 years or so.


Brian made me cupcakes for my birthday and put 20 candles on one cupcake! I did not eat that cupcake, I ate another one.

New Skirt

I made a skirt in my sewing class. It is a pencil skirt with a green leafy pattern. It was really fun to make and learn how to do things like darts, zippers, and a blind hem. I lengthened the pattern by 5" and it only just passes my knee when I sit, good thing I did! I should probably press out that fold in the front before I wear it somewhere. I also made pajama pants and am in the process of a purple blouse. I will make Brian a pair of cargo shorts also. I love this sewing class, it is my favorite part of the week and at least 2 days a week I spend about 6 hours in the lab because it is so fun and I want to do everything right and get good at sewing well.

Temple Square

Here are a few photos from when we took Christina to temple square right before she went back to Washington. It was so hot that day, at least 98. But we got the see the new model of the Salt Lake temple that is cut in half so viewers can see the rooms inside. It was very fun, I liked riding the trax.
