bagel sunday

dallin & i love to cook together!

a few weeks ago, dallin got it in his head that he wanted to make bagels. has anyone ever made those before? i don't know about you, but it sounded pretty intimidating to me!

well, needless to say we did it anyway. we had a blast! they were delicious! this is now our favorite thing to make.

they take a little bit of time, but boy is it worth it!

bathroom etiquette

don't worry this isn't graphic :)

i just find it laughable that some people are so clueless to what bathroom etiquette includes that signs like this have to show up in the restrooms at work:

i'll stick with you

dallin & i

are always looking for fun (& cheap) ways to decorate our apartment.

this latest work of art was 100% dallin's idea.
& what a GREAT one it was!

a trip to DI & $6 was all it took.

(we used velcro to hang them up. this is a great way to hang things without using nails.)

do YOU have any fun decorating ideas?

sweet thing

i was looking over some wedding pictures and wanted to post a few.

my. wedding. cake. was. AMAZING.

my aunt cindy made it and my sister alison did all the flowers on the cake. it turned out even better than imagined it would.

so-

thank you alison for making it perfect for me. i loved it so much! (and for my awesome wedding video, and for everything else you did...)

job adventures

i had my first day of training at my new job today. i work for a company called extend health. here are a few things about my day:

1- extend health calls their training, "extend university," but it's actually more like kindergarten. i got a sticker with my name on it to put on my shirt. i also received a piece of construction paper with instructions to write my name on it and keep it with me so that everyone can know my name. (isn't that what a name tag is for?) later i got a yellow sticker to stick on my name tag because i am a visual-verbal learner. yay me!

2- this is not a call center, it's a "retiree service center." i am not an insurange agent, i am an "advisor." i don't work in sales, i work in the "enrolling department."

3- a conversation i had today as i pulled out my phone to send a text to dallin. stranger: so, have you been texting for long? me: um... no. i just pulled it out. stranger: no, i mean have you known how to text for very long? me: um...yes?

4- my "homework" is to bring a picture of my favorite senior citizen to work tomorrow.

5- my new best bud at work is mr. wright. he told me i could call him chris. he's about 70 years old and in exchange for showing him how to use a computer, he tells me stories about places he used to work.


okay, yes. so i'm slightly ashamed of my job. but also amused. i can't wait for what tomorrow holds... i guess i'll stay there until i invent something that makes me a million bucks.
