What a great weekend! We were living the all American Dream! We washed our cars in our own driveway and meet the ice cream man on the street for a cool treat! We ended up heading over the the Sandy Hot air Balloon festival and I had an inner " I am loving life" moment! To see my kids having the best time dancing to Peter Brineholt and just loving our new area just really touched me!! I was just overwhelmed with happiness!!! I could not be happier!!!
Friday I got all domestic and made my first real dinner in my amazing kitchen! It was seriously the best thing! I so want to become a better cook just o spend more time in my kitchen!!!! The girls and I made yummy muffins to take to all the sweet neighbors that made us dinners. I so added stuff to the box mixes so I could "call" them home made!!! Don't laugh!!! I added apple sauce tot eh apple strusel muffins and fresh bananas to the banana nut ones! I could so taste the difference! I put them in the cutest backets and off we went to deliver them!!! yep.. look out Diana Wakefield!!! I am hot on your trail in becoming the next Martha Stewart!
Speaking of Diana Wakefield!!! Who on earth would be the last person I would have expected to show up on my door step! That's right! Diana herself!Ok let me just rewind a little. I kid you not!!!!We have had more visitors in the past week just pop in then I have ever had in my entire life! All people I love!!!
It started off with Braden and Teran, some friends who moved up here about 8 months ago!!Thay have been amazing and so helpful!
Next was Jason and Erin who we knew as newly married in Provo... she was my Bunco invite and totally plugged me in to the girl sceen!!!
then came Jill Wirthlin!!! Crazy!!! She was in town visitng family and just came by! It was soooooo great to see her and her sweet little girl!
And last but not least the one and only Diana Wakefield and family! I was her visiting teacher in CA and just fell in love with her! It was one of those calling that I benefited from way more then she ever did! Let's talk about someone we can only aspire to be like... she is a wonder woman. she bakes everyday! No joke! she has 4 amazing kids who are so reverent and obedient... We baby sat for them one weekend and I have a pretty awesome gage on good kids and she had 'em! her youngest being twins no less and she looks rockin' all the time! I just love that girl!
All these visits have really made us over the moon happy! nothing like a familiar face to make your day and who else is better to share our excitement in all this then good friends!
ok... back to life!!! guess who got to paint!!!ME!!! Mike has been great! He helped me paint my craft room! I really can't wait to get it done! I have a few more paint techniques I need to do that take time but I am pretty sure I'll love itand will think it was worth all the hard work!
so church today....we had the getting to know you interview with the bishopric... that went well I think! I probably scared them a little! When they asked me what calling I had "grown" from the most it went silent for a minute and I told them it would be easier to tell them the calling I hated the most instead! Honestly I couldn't think of anything! Anyway I had them laughing a lot and I'm sure they got a sense of my personality and my playful nature!
Mike made his mark in EQ... He introduced himself and told a little about himself and them closed by saying his favorite song was "Before he Cheats by Carrie Underwood, and just sat down. He got a few laughs which was his point but I about died when he told me... no one really knows us or our sense of humors yet!!!
In RS it was hard to miss the crazy old lady in our ward!!! I so fell in love with her the moment she made her first comment...let's just say the topics of melvins, bra's and her husband only liking to take her bra off were her high lights! and mind you the lesson was on reverence! I seriously love this sister already! We all need a little more comic relief in there sometimes now don't we!
We had dinner at our neighbors house along with another family from around the corner! This neighborhood rocks! Lesa and her family have gone above and beyond and I joke that they are the chairs of the "friends to the friendless" committee!!! Jenny gave us amazing zucchini bread and the hugest zucchini I have ever seen!Welcome to UTAH right!they even joked about it!We toured each others homes and talk about impressive!!!The yards in this area are to die for! Everyone had the coolest homes and they are so incredible!!! lovin lovin lovin it here!
I just found my camera so I promise to post pics soon... dude I just typed a novel...apologizes!
