So we just gots back from going home to Utah and are glad to not have to drive in a car anymore. 11 1/2 hours from yesterday was plenty. We were gone from Wednesday to Wednesday and here are some highlights from the trip.
Wednesday- Drive, drive, drive, in zoom-zoom car. Forever too much construction and crazy Utah drivers.
Thursday- Windsurfing and falling into the water alot :D. We went up to Deer Creek and got out the humungous windsurfers from my parents attic and strapped stuff on top of and inside of my mom's van. It was pretty full. We had fun chillin and playing in the water and we forget one piece which my mom was so nice to bring to me so she came up and videotaped some of our fallingdowness. Lol well Eric did pretty well and got going sometimes, I just didn't quite know what I was doing.
Friday- Relaxation, yes! Chilled all day and had a bbq at my grandma's house with my mom's family. Yummy steaks.
Saturday- Winward family reunion up at Cherry Hill. Eric beat Clay in an arm wrestle. And Tyler wandered off and kinda got lost. Miniature golf with some cool crazy holes.
Sunday- Saw some friends and had dinner up at Scott's house with Eric's family. Played some rockin awesome Wii games and got sore arms.
Monday- Got errands done. Eric got pretty green new running shoes. Went out to Spanish Fork and played games with friends and family.
Tuesday- Greg and Tyler's birthday. Packing and last minute things.
Wednesday- Drive, drive, drive, sleep.....
We had a fun trip and are glad that we got to see people down in Utah. It was nice to have a vacation and not cook dinner. Eric liked not workings. Now we home and get to get ready for the start of school and new adventures.

Another day, another week, another month
So being that we never write on our blog, we are going to try to write on it with a little more consistency so that we can keep track of our random adventures and others can enjoy our stories if they want to.
So today we had yet more hot fire in the kitchen, I guess we just like cajun too much. Anyways in the midst of cooking up the chocolate for no bake cookies, the pan decides that its not big enough and the contents boil over the edges. Trying to prevent a huge disaster I pick up the pan, but being in the middle of doing dishes the sink was occupied so the pan got set down on another burner. Eric trying to be helpful and finding another location for the gooeyness got out a sheet of aluminum foil to put the pan on. That worked until I wanted to try to keep the chocolate boiling for at least the minute it was supposed to so the pan with the foil underneath went onto the hot burner and promptly caught fire. So panic ensued as the fire alarm starts going off and the fire gets blown out and the chocolate given up on trying to cook longer given the huge disaster it has created over half of our stove.
So besides that lovely little adventure.... Saturday was my last day of work at the Home Depot. So now I have a week to prep before we go on vacation to Utah and before school starts. Eric is still wiggling plants and looking for another job to keep him occupied as his hours will be getting cut soon.
We enjoy spending time with each other and often go for bike rides together down the centenial trial and take walks around campus at all hours when we just need to get out of our hot house. Cooler weather will be nice.
