Work and wedding...

Crap-ola... It has been over a month since writing on my blog. It's not that things aren't happening in my life to write about... just that to much has gone on that I am never home long enough to relax and write. What have I been up to? Work and wedding. That about sums it up. The last couple weeks I was working 12-14 hrs a day. Doesn't leave much time for anything else. Thank goodness Rillz is amazing and such a BIG help around the house, like doing the laundry so I have clean clothes. And wedding planning is in full force. My living room has boxes full of wedding favors. I swear everyone who lives in Hawaii also think they are on vacation. Grr.... oh well. Rillz and I started following a dinner menu plan. Rillz made up a month menu plan. Our goal is to not eat out at all for any meals this month. We are really loving this. Granted, it has only been a week but I feel really good about it! Meat is already thawed, no guessing whats for dinner, so great. Speaking of cooking, Jeff (Kristi's husband) asked Rillz if he would do a young mens activity on cooking. So last night Rillz did his young mens activity and enjoyed doing it. He had the boys flip eggs and then make a grilled ham and cheese and taught them how to doctor up canned tomato soup. Everyone enjoyed it! Random: Kristi made me a pillow for my birthday (yes three months ago and I am now just posting about it). The pillow is so cute and looks great in my living room! I have plenty more to write but don't feel like it right now. Hopefully it won't be a month from now when I post again. :)

you sound busy. I know how the eating out thing goes. Walt and I live about three blocks from a ton of eat out places, and most of them are so cheap if I use a coupon....but oh, the hidden fats. Not worth it. I think Rilz was meant to work with young men. I bet they "ate" up all his knowledge. Great activity idea.

I should have headed over to mom's to watch the activity in action- I bet it was entertaining!
That pillow is super cute. I was just telling someone at work today about how I wished I could sew and how you and Kristi do but I am not crafty enough.

Yeah! My pillow is finally up here. Oh how I love it so much so if it goes missing one of these days, you will know where it went. I'm so weird about sewing repeat projects but I should sew one of these for myself...and Heidi. Heidi if you read these comments again, you can totally do it. It's just that you have no time or no time to have us teach you. Your talent by far is cakes, something I have no talent in.
Back to Mindy...Rillz was telling me about your memu. I asked if you were involved and he told me you had fish sticks, sandwiches and soup for one day and we busted up laughing. The priest age boys loved the activity last night. They seriously wanted to have another one where they cook for the laurels and have Rillz as the "mentor". Jeff said they now feel confident enough to do that. I busted up laughing.

Wow, you are busy. You guys are so good at food. I am so jealous. I feel like you would do way better a celiac than me with your talent. I think that pillow is so cute. I want you to take a pic of your entire living room so I can see how the pillow looks in the entire room. What a good, crafty sister you have. Well happy wedding planning. Me and Nat are coming to the Idaho reception even though I would rather go to Hawaii.

Yeah, I figured you were busy with the wedding. I LOOOOOVE that pillow- no pun intended.
