My First Football Game

This is a look from Bobby of the people next to us were weird lol 

I went to my first ever BYU football game this weekend. I know, its pretty pathetic I havent been after being a BYU student for 4 years. And I know, it was the worst first game to go to. It would have been bearable had it not been raining but the rain was just miserable. But we got free legacy tickets from Bobbys work so it was worth it. We got a free pre game lunch and snacks at half time, so it was way cool.

Also! Selby moved in this weekend :) it has been a blast thus far even though homework is a downer.

Trinket Shelf

There is a shelf in my house full of special things. I have moved three times; but in every house, the shelf follows holding a main spot on our walls. I like to call it my trinket shelf. But it is really a shelf of memories. Shells, a shard of pottery, pictures, wine bottles, animal figurines, miniature famous landmarks. While some objects do not hold as much meaning as others, I cherish them all because they remind me of the neat things life holds. There are also things on that shelf that would hold no meaning to others. Like a splintered drumstick: a memory of the roughest concert I was lucky to live through. A slip of paper from a cheap Chinese fortune cookie: holding my engagement ring, the promises and future of my husband and me, and the irony of the fortune. Yet that would never be apparent to an innocent onlooker. The items would be just that of trinkets. Thus giving the shelf more meaning to the curator. A shelf of deep meaning.

Food

I have been on a cooking frenzy as of late
I really do enjoy cooking.
Luckily my mom was a pretty good cook to teach me
and also luckily Bobby is pretty open minded when it comes to food.
He will eat anything I make for him.
He may not always enjoy it (tuna casserole)
But he always eats it which I am grateful for

I normally feel like I dont have time to cook dinner
but in reality, cooking doesnt take that long
and it is so much cheaper
and so much healthier

We have a ton of left overs though.
I used to love left overs
but a lot of the time when I cook the meal I am not even hungry for it anyways

There is something about cooking for yourself that is unappetizing
I am not sure why

Last week I made a one pot tomato basil pasta (Google the recipe [Martha Stewart], it is one of the cleanest meals I feel like I have ever eaten. Also it is beautiful)
I also made this green curry soup which was very good

And then tonight I made a potato soup from scratch

We have been trying to buy more organic and healthier groceries.
It kind of kills me inside to pay $5 for milk and way more like this for things that could be so much cheaper
but it is way better
and its not that much more really
also our health will benefit from it

also, as I was peeling potatoes this morning
I was thinking about how good my mom is at peeling potatoes with a knife
that is hard work.

and on a side note
I went to UCTE this last week
it was fabulous as always
I am getting more and more excited to teach

also I am trying to use Twitter more

And I need to come back to loving reading and writing

I have been listening to a lot of audio books
I just need to write more

heres to this blog and writing more
