Thanksgiving 2009

I made a turkey for thanksgiving... this was the first time i have ever cooked a turkey and i was very happy with the way it turned out... we used Papa George's brine and it was delicious

Here is the after picture... i forgot to take a picture before we cut it. It was very pretty.
We spent Thanksgiving this year with my Grandparents and my Aunt and Uncle in Rexburg, it would have been fun to be with our imdeate family but George works at Wal Mart and Black Friday is the devil so anyways, we had a great time and i am looking forward to making a turkey every thanksgiving!

Utah!

For a little get away George and I drove down to Utah to see some friends and go to a foot ball game (i feel sad saying that a get away means going to Provo *sigh*). It was great fun! it's always a blast to see Josh and Rosie and you can never go wrong with a BYU football game.

We originally had these seats, which would have been great, but we have AMAZING friends and we moved to these seats...

Front row 25 yard line right behind the team! it was so fun to be down there and see the reactions of the team and hear them talking to each other, and to be almost hit in the face by the giant BYU flags that they run around with after they score! It was great!
I cant say Thank you enough to Josh and Rosie they are our favorite utah friends and they always open there house for us when we need a place to crash! Seriously Thank you!I will admit that it was cold... i could not feel my toes by the end of the game. (But still it was way warmer then Rexburg by like 20 degrees, why do i live here????????)
They won!! and it didnt snow like they said it was going too so over all it was a great game!

The next day after the game we got together with my friend from back home Jon, it was great to see him and his wife and there cute little house they just built. We thought it would be fun to go to the newly opened In-n-out that just opened that weekend! I'm not going to lie I felt a bit like a trader going to an In-n-out in Utah, it was werid but then i took a bite of my burger and a sip of the my milk shake and i was grateful. I did not get a picture of Jon and Annelise. But i did get a picture of this...

Over all... Utah was a joy!

Happy Halloween


BOO! be careful or the van will eat you :)

So over it


Dear Baseball,
Why must you control my husbands life from April to November??
Why must the games lasts hours on end, and why is it that as soon as baseball season is over basketball and football start up??
Will I ever have a time in my life when espn is not always on??
More specifically why must the Yankees have 162(!) regular season games (that does not even count the post season)???
And why are his moods depended on a Yankee win or lose?
If there is anything that you can do it make my life better it would be greatly appreciated.
- Steph

GNO and Cold

Last night while the boys were at the Priesthood session Becky and I went on a little GNO (girl's night out) to Porter's (Rexburg's finest craft store) and it has lite a fire under my bum and has inspired me to be crafty. So as a warning to everyone that i would normally give a gift to for Christmas, this year its hand made by me! So dont expect to much :)
And it other news... since i have not blogged in forever, there really hasnt been much going on. I have started working full time which is great, I'm loving the job so far. Rexburg is starting to get cold and yucky and be the most aweful place to live in the world. This is the last winter we will have here, because next winter we will be out in the real world, so i guess i can get through this winter!

It's weird

I'm not going to lie... I'm having really mixed feelings about not going to school for the first time in 17 years... it's very odd.

And on a completely random note...Here is a picture of me shooting a gun for the first time... i actually think it was the first time i have ever even held a gun... please no comments on the outfit :)

(if you're looking at these pictures and thinking... hmm that guns not loaded... that's cause it wasn't... this is a stage picture. BUT i promise i did shoot it when it was loaded! i promise.)
