Salmon

I am not really sure why, but I have been craving fish a lot lately. O think it is because my mom is allergic and we never really ate fish growing up, and Marc loves it, so I eat it more. Salmon fillets were on sale and Marc really wanted some. I have no idea how to cook it, so I left it up to Marc. He grilled them and was so proud of himself, he kept saying we should take a picture! I think he just wanted to be written about in a blog! Anyway, they turned out so good! I couldn't eat anything else on my plate until it was gone! So tasty! I think instead of hitting up the golden arches for a fillet o' fish, Marc will be cooking it a lot more! Here is what it looked like before he took it off the grill. He was so proud of those grill marks!

20 Reasons I Love Arizona

It is 38 degrees outside right now, and not it is not looking like it is going to get much warmer anytime soon. Being from Arizona, spring to me is temperatures in the 60's and 70's. I miss it, so, here are the things I love about Arizona!

1. It is never REALLY cold.
2. All of our family is there, we miss them all!
3. The smell of orange blossoms in the springtime.
4. There are not large piles of dirty snow all over.
5. There are lots of fun places to go, malls, restaurants, etc, Idaho is lacking...
6. You can BBQ year round and not have to be dressed for a blizzard!
7. You can pretty much wear flip-flops year round.
8. You can swim from March to October, November if your crazy!
9. There are beautiful cactus all over!
10. Every night there is a beautiful sunset!
11. Monsoon storms every summer.
12. You can drive in the winter and not worry about sliding on the ice.
13. You don't have to worry about huge pot holes after the snow melts, because there isn't any!
14. There is A/C in the summer!
15. You can go hiking year round!
16. It hardly ever gets below 40 degrees.
17. People know how to drive.
18. People don't automatically assume you are LDS and want to talk about the RS lesson the week before, while waiting in line.
19. Allergies are not as bad because there are not farms all over.
20. It's just a great place!

Gotta Love Steve Colbert!

Anyone that has ever watched to Colbert Report knows how hilarious it is! He is Republican and proud! I can get pretty intense when it comes to politics, but I think Steve Colbert wins! He tried to convince everyone to write his name in on the presidential ballot, but, it didn't work. Now he is at it again! NASA is getting ready to launch a addition to the International Space Station, they have announced that the name will be determined by, us! So, since Steve Colbert lost the election, he wants his name in space! You can go to nasa.gov, or to colbertnation.com and choose the name. They have a list of names to choose from, or you can suggest your own. He is now on a campaign to convince people to suggest his name. It is now #1 in the top 10 of suggested names! It is pretty hilarious! You should try it, even if you don't vote for him, it is still pretty funny!

I am addicted to this website, etsy.com! There are so many things I want! I really want to try and copy some of their stuff! I think it is my crafty side coming out again! There is just so much fun stuff! Check it out if you haven't already! But I will warn you, you will be there for hours!

Strawberry Chocolatey Goodness!

On Saturday Marc went grocery shopping and I stayed home to get some house work done. I think this is the first time Marc has gone shopping for our weekly trip all by himself. I was a little worried about what he would come home with, but he got everything on the list, and only bought 4 boxes of cereal that weren't on the list. He even saved over $24! He said that they were having a huge sale on General Mills cereal and he just couldn't pass it up! Too bad Sunday was Fast Sunday, all day long I kept thinking about the Coco Puffs Combos, the Honey Kix, the Strawberry Chex, and the Chocolate Chex, it did not help the rumbling in my stomach.

At about 10:30 I had a bad headache, which no matter what I do, always comes on Fast Sundays all day long! I should have just gone to bed, but Marc suggested I have some cereal and medicine. I was so full from our yummy dinner with the Briggs, but I couldn't pass up the idea of the Strawberry and Chocolate Chex mixed! It was delicious! Not something I would send the kids off to school with, but for a late night snack it was tasty! I suggest you go find these and keep them on hand, it was so good! In the end, he did a great job shopping, and got some yummy stuff!

Cheap Lunch!

Since Marc and I both studied/are studying advertising we love commercials, sometimes, and love creative advertising. Since the Superbowl we have been looking a lot into the publicity stunt from Jack in the Box. For those of you who may not know, Jack, the mascot, was hit by a bus and is in a coma. You can watch video clips, and leave messages for Jack, and keep up on his condition at hangintherejack.com I was looking at the updated stuff and found out that today, Feburary 24th, is FREE TACO DAY! Their tacos are super unhealthy, but they bring back memories from many adventures for both of us, so, we printed out our coupons, and headed off thinking we were going to have to battle the crowds, we were wrong! There was no one there! They were not advertising the tacos, you had to check in on Jack to know! So, we got our tacos, and some fries, and both ate a not very healthy lunch for under $2! It was fun to get out for a little while, and get free food! So, if you have time and want tacos, they are handing them out if you have a coupon until 11:59 tonight!

A Little Crafty

I decided that I am going to be more crafty. I have already done a few things to make our apartment seem more homey, but after going to a vinyl party a few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to do more. I didn't want to put any vinyl on our walls since we are moving in 5 months, and I wanted to enjoy whatever I got for a little longer. I did these two projects and had so much fun!

On this one the letters are vinyl, and I used scrapbook paper to cover the chipboard. It took a log time, and unfortunately these projects ended up to be a little pricer than I would have liked, but we can keep them around for a while!


This one is my favorite. I picked the vinyl originally thinking that I would put it on a board, so I got it in white. I couldn't find a board that was the right size, and we don't have the tools to let me do my own. I started thinking of a ton of different ideas and eventually decided to put it on the glass of a frame. I couldn't find a frame, but after a trip to Porters and stumbling across their 50% off frame sale I found one for $12! I used scrapbook paper for the back, and thanks to my wonderful hubby, I think I will change it out occasionally. He had the wonderful idea of changing it seasonally, and to match the room we put it in! The frame isn't crooked on the wall, the camera was, it is in out narrow hall entrance and not so easy to photograph!
