Happy Easter!

Spring is here! Or at least it is here for a couple of days and then decides to go back to winter :/ But I will take what I can get! Today was such a beautiful Sunday. We had such wonderful church meetings, Kamille (Garett's sister) and Ben even came along with us! Garetts family is in town this week for his graduation and our sealing so it has been nice to get to spend this holiday with them :]] After church everyone came over to our place for yummy ham and funeral potatoes. We watched some baseball and now everyone is just relaxing and a few are playing hunting games on the wii :]] It has been a lovely Easter Sunday.

Taco Bell

Since getting married my loving wife has been watching a lot of awful court TV shows and the news. I would pray that if one of us make a dumb enough mistake to land us in court that we will be lucky enough to be paid to go on TV and act like morons. Well anyways...

A few months ago Pres saw some segments on how Taco Bells taco meat was not 100% beef. She has refused to eat there ever since. This has been detrimental to my whole existence. For those of you who know me well know that like my great uncle Bruce "I live to eat not eat to live." Food is about the one and only thing in life you find me getting excited about save having a home theater in my future home.

When I think about Taco Bell I think about the first time I ever went to eat by myself. I think about hanging out with my first best friend Chris Coen and his mom taking us to Taco Bell. Man, that was a huge deal to me as a little fart becuase our family did not eat out as a kid. I actually remember feeling bad about her spending so much money on me taking me out to eat at Taco Bell for lunch. I remember mexi nuggets, man those were tasty morsels. You know they got rid of those so that there menu was "healthier" and now Mcdonalds comes out with a double fish fillet! It reminds me about trips to see Pres when she was going to SUU. We would usually eat there before I left good ol Cedar City.

Well what sparked my post today is that Taco Bells lawsuit alleging that their beef was not 100% beef was dropped today and no money was exchanged between the two parties. I really do not understand what the worry is I think that Upton Sinclair took care of the meat industry, on accident, eons ago and Taco bells meat is USDA inspected meat. Remember when Jack in the Box was under the microscope? At that time there was not a Jack in the Box within a 100 miles of me but I was still kinda freaked out to go eat fast food. (I was 8 okay.)

Oooo but he meat filling is only 88% beef, yippee ki yay a! "Ooo, there is oats in it, I hate oatmeal." Last time I made a taco I did not just throw plain cook ground beef in the shell. Do you?

Hopefully Pres will be able to overcome the scare and enjoy the Taco Bell menu she once loved with me. I think I will have Taco Bell for lunch today...

News Flash!

We are poor!

Haha, but we still like to have fun. The other day Gare and I were on a hunt for some free fun activities and this is what we came up with. . .

Going to Cabela's and playing catch! Cabela's, I have never been there before, and it is a very interesting place! They have so much stuff! Including a mini aquarium and lots of dead stuffed animals! It was kind of neat :]] Then we played catch at the school down the street from my house and I hurt my arm, because I have such a powerful throw :]] Haha, we had fun! I even found a FREE easter craft to do! Check it out, It is an Easter egg garland made out of paint chips!

Update!

• Garett graduates this semester and is currently on the wait list for the University of Utah MSW program! Cross your fingers he gets in :]]
• We are getting sealed in the Oqurrih Mountain Temple April 30th! I am receiving my endowments the same day.
• Gares family is coming down for both of these occasions and we are very excited to see everyone:]]
• School and work is still going great for both of us (the Jr. High kids are currently on spring break so I have a whole lovely week to sleep in and hang out with my man :]]).

Did you like my list of updates? I thought it would be easier that way haha, we have also got to spend some time with our friends and family. Mariah finally had her baby! Karston Arvin Kofoed, and he is so dang cute! Keith and Ria are already such cute parents, we have got to hang out with the new little family twice last week, here is a picture of me and the little guy. . .

at Andrews B-day party!

On Thursday Gare and I decided to pull out the pressure cooker and whip up some beef stroganoff, which is one of Gare's all time favorites! I was supper nervous because the pressure cooker scares me to death! I have heard some crazy stories, so I stayed away from the kitchen and let Gare to the dirty work:]] It turned out amazing, we didn't have any scary explosions or anything!! We also got together with the Law's and the Hirzes on Friday, we had the famous "Chicken Broccoli Casserole" and played games :]] Its always fun to get together with those crazy kids, it is a tight squeeze in our lil' apartment though.

yum

 I enjoy everyones faces in these photos :]] Anywho, thanks for reading!

Lately

So much has been going on lately, but I haven't had much time to blog about it. This new job is keeping me busy. This new job that I love by the way, I am learning so much and the people I work with are awesome.  I love the student I am working with, she always keeps things interesting for me :]] It really is such a rewarding job I can tell that I am a big help to her.  I love it!! I get off of work at 3, but that is when Garett has to be to work so there are some days where I don't even get to see him, because by the time he gets home I am asleep. But we get by, it makes the time we do have together that much more special.  We are both doing well in school, Gare actually graduates this April! I am so proud of him!

While we are on the school subject, I am taking a children's lit. class and I get to read all of these fun kids books, I love it! The latest reads have been. . .

I loved every single one! Mostly the last two! I was a bit worried about "The Watsons go to Birmingham" because it sounds and looks boring, but this book has taught me to not judge a book by its cover! I loved loved loved it! I recommend it to anyone. These books have taken me away from my most recent read "Uglies" I am about half way through and now that I am done with these ones I am excited to get back to reading it :]]

And lastly, wasn't this a great conference weekend?! The church is TRUE, and Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God.
