Pasta And More Pasta....

Here is the deal... when Nick and I got married he still had a bunch of food so we didn't go grocery shopping. He made this rule that we couldn't go until all our food was gone. And he meant all. Then his mom came to visit and with the visit she brought us grocery's. We were almost out of food just eating pasta when his grandparents came to visit and brought us food. Eventually we were down to just pasta.  Finally last week four months after being married we went shopping for our first time. I was excited because that meant no more cooking just pasta!!! Thanks to my friends blog howetocook.blogspot.com I had a few ideas of what I wanted to get. I have been so happy having options of what to cook for dinner. The first night of real food I made chicken and potatoes stuff. I got the recipe from my friends blog. It was sooo yummy. And it was easy because I only cook easy things. I was so happy to be cooking things other than pasta a took a picture. You know you are pathetic when you do things like this haha. Anyway for dinner tonight I am making rolls and well.... pasta. I know what you are thinking but I want to get rid of it as fast as I can this time.

The picture isn't the greatest

Thanksgiving!!

I love Thanksgiving. I love being able to express your gratitude about everything without people thinking anything of it. I have so much to be grateful for. I am go grateful that I get the opportunity to get an education. So many people don't get that chance. I am grateful I have a job. I am grateful for a house to live in and a nice cozy bed to sleep in. I am grateful for my seriously amazing family. I am grateful I married into the family I did. I am grateful for Nick. I don't know what I would do without him as cliche as that might sound. He is my best friend and he keeps me sane. I am grateful for all my friends. They make me so happy. I am grateful for the church. I would be lost without it. Oh geez the list could go on and on. I have so much to be grateful for.


This Thanksgiving break was awesome. Tuesday work and school got canceled for Nick and I because of the blizzard. So we beat the storm to Bountiful. We hung out with his family and watched movies and ate tons!! Then the next day we went to the Jazz game. It was awesome. I love the Jazz epically when they win. Then the next morning we went back to Ephraim. We hung out with my whole family all 23 of us. We ate tons of food, played tons of games and drank a lot of tasties. It was so much fun. Then on Saturday Nick and I decorated our Christmas tree. I had so much fun! I wish every weekend could be like that. I am one lucky lucky girl.
