Bargin Dream Bedroom Set

So yesterday me and Brandon decided that we would go to Fishers Home Furnishings to look at what they had on their Anniversary sale. We have been looking for a bedroom set for quite a while, and thought we might find what we wanted there. We really had no intentions of buying, just browsing....but this 'just browsing' trip took a sharp turn to a purchasing trip when we got an AMAZING deal. I guess i should give you a little background, we looked at RC Willy for a bedroom set once, and I found my dream bed. It was like a fancy western looking bed--so that fits me pretty well. : ) BUT it was over our budget.... way to expensive for us poor newlyweds and students....so we left it there...I was bummed caused i loved it. Well anyway, when we went to Fishers i asked if they had that bed, which they did not, but told me they would give us their Anniversary price on it out of their catalog, this would take off a couple hundred....I got excited, it was falling closer to the range we could afford. I told them we would have to think about it, and we left. I called RC Willy to find out how much they were offering, and to see what i could do about getting them to lower their price to this awesome sale price we were offered somewhere else(we like RC Willy, they are a good store).......and TADA--they offered it to us for another couple hundred off, plus we got free shipping to Manti. Even better is that we don't have to 'spend' any money on it. I am selling my own bed i had bought when i was younger,and with my graduation money we don't have to spend any other money on it. Awesome eh!! So now we are moving into a new place, and getting a new way awesomely beautiful and way good deal bed!! To say the least i am happy that i am trying to work the system just a little bit these days. I usually don't have the guts to ask for deals.....i wont even barder down the prices of things in Mexico like other people do....so this is one big step for me!!! The picture of our bed is from the manufacturers.

Braggin Rights

So today i thought i would give another try on making an angel food cake, cause strawberries were on a way good sale yesterday, and nothing goes better with strawberries than angel food cake. This was an effort you see because niether I nor my amazing momma can make angel food cake......its in our blood i guess you can say!! : ) But today I thought that i would put myself to the test...i have only successfully make an angel food cake once, and today was the day i had to prove myself as a periodical angel food cake baker......and................................Wallaaa..................It worked!!!!!!!! Perfect in fact!! I have to say that i am pretty much amazing in my book of people who can make angel food cake!!!


My second moment of bragging is that i am starting my very own garden.....this is a first for me and well i am pretty excited. I get all excited whenever i see my little friends(the plants) growing! The night i planted them i was all smiles thinking i was one step closer to becoming as amazing as my own mother who had the garden of all gardens when we were growing up. Thanks to her I have inherited a green thumb and now have cute little sprouts coming up out of a tiny bit of dirt! Brandon is good to check on his little friends too and together, i think we are going to have a pretty much amazing garden this summer/fall!! I get to try my hand at canning, lets all pray that i can keep up on that next endevor of mine. I have time to prepare.....thats good, i need it i think!! Here are our little friends!
P.S. their favorite song (and the kids at daycares too) is
"Little seeds lie fast asleep in a row, in a row..........WAKE UP WAKE UP calls the sun, wake up now and GROW!!!"

First Fire of the Season!!!!

Thank goodness for technology!!
Isnt he a cute cowboy!! I think so!

Yea for good weather and living close to a canyon.
Last night i decided to provide Brandon with a break from all his homework, and took ourselves up the canyon to have a hot dog and marshmallow roast. It was a blast!! We both love being outdoors and also love having a fire to sit by. Really one of the best things that ever happened to us happened by a fire, after having a hot dog roast.......we got engaged, so to say the least we are partial to campfires! Last night, though, We finally found a campground that had picnic tables that were accessible from the road....Logan canyon doesn't like to open their campgrounds to drive through, i imagine for a couple more weeks. So we gathered up our stuff and walked in and used the facility anyway....others were too, so i guess you could say if our friends were jumping off a bridge than we would too! : ) Once we finally got our first fire of the season started and a blazing ( this took a while, i think we forget from season to season!! : ) ) we got our yummy brats out and cooked us a mean hot dog!! Then we had a timeout for a small snowball fight.....there was snow just over from us.....cold hands made it a short, but fun activity. Then we got warm by our now very warm fire, then put out a tarp and blanket and watched a movie. It was such a nice night the stars were beautiful and we enjoyed a great night together.
I will miss Logan. We are moving to Manti in 3 weeks.....it will be a great new start in life, but sad to see Logan gone for good in my rear view mirror. Logan has many memories tagged to it, everything from single activities to meeting the man of my dreams, marrying him and then living here together. I am however, excited to start the new page of my life, and meet new people and start living 'real' life with a full time job both as husband and wife.
