Award winning

Friday night was the annual ward chili cook off. As many of you know Joel makes a mean chili so he decided to enter the competition and WON!!! We are so proud. He beat out this girl in our ward that always brags about how good her cooking is. Here is a picture of the awesome award. We have it displayed in our front room if you want to come check it out in person.


Unfortunately, I was not at the chili cook off. I was at Twilight!!! It was sooo good. I was totally prepared to hate the movie because i thought Edward was ugly and i did not think a movie could live up to what i pictured in my head. I want to go see it again. So, my friend Brittan's friend reserved a theater at the Gateway for a Friday night show. We were told we could not line up till 7:15. I got to the Gateway at 5:20ish and spent 20 min trying to find somewhere to park. We had a little dinner at CPK and headed to the theater at 7:05. The line for our theater was huge. We were so annoyed. People had been standing in line since 6:30. I was not willing to have a bad seat for the movie when we were told we could not line up till 7:15 so I went and talked to the manager. He said he was very sorry that they had to let them line up early to clear out the lobby. I said that was fair but since i was pregnant could he move me to the front of the line. That's right i played the pregnant card. Needless to say i was the first one in the theater and saved some killer seats for the girls i was with. The good seats made up for all the death glares i got walking into the theater ahead of the people that had been standing in line for an hour. Ha Ha HA!!! I was also the first to win the raffle that night, I should have driven to Vegas. Man i was feeling lucky. I recommend everyone go see Twilight!!!

Mission accomplished

Most couple spend Saturday night on a date going to dinner or a movie...not the Meyer's. Tonight we cleaned out the garage and organized all the junk. We have been meaning to texture the walls, paint, and organize all summer but never got around to it. It is too cold to texture and paint now so that will have to wait till next year...maybe. But, we did get shelving up and things organized so we can park both cars in the garage.


That is right two 6' shelves full of protein 2 cans deep. Can we check food storage off our list?


Joel loves our garage floor. He epoxied it himself and even put two toned lines in it. The epoxy is really nice cuz it doesn't stain and washes really well. Joel about an hour washing the garage floor...what ever makes him happy right.


All cleaned out and ready for cars. Now we have to clean out the front room. Why when you clean out one area does another area end up messier. I have 3 boxes of supplements sitting in my front room and 2 more by the computer to put on ksl.


They both fit...barely. Can anyone believe i STILL have that truck? I think it should be the next thing to go on ksl. It is 15 years old and sill runs like a champ!!!

Trimester #3

So i was sitting in American Fork Hospital this morning waiting for them to draw my blood and I realized that today is the last day of my second trimester!!! Yeah!!! This pregnancy is going by so fast. I can't wait to see me little girl and start dressing her in cute outfits. So, tomorrow i start my third trimester which for some reason feels like a big pregnancy milestone. I feel like celebrating...good thing we have big plans to clean and organize the garage tomorrow, yeah!

Crib

We bought a beautiful crib about a month ago and finally had a chance to put it up tonight. I got a steal on it from a furniture manufacturer that was going out of business in Orem. I spent about 3 hours Saturday night shopping for nursery bedding fabric with my patient mom and sister. Once we got the crib set up i realized that the fabric and bedding that we had picked out would not work with this crib. There is nowhere to put a bed skirt. So we are back to square one with baby bedding. So i now have beautiful fabric for my mom to make her another baby quilt and i get to decorate the nursery again...sounds like a win win to me. It is so fun to be a mom!
