An Ode to Lasagna

Those that know us, will also know our love for good food and cooking. With that being said, we had the Stouffer's over for dinner last night...

Please note the words at the top of the packaging - "Party Size" - Giddy up. It takes Melo and I about three or four nights to finish this, but it gets better every night. My favorite three things about Stouffer's Vegetable Lasagna are 1) Stouffer's doesn't use any preservatives, 2) you don't even miss the meat while eating it, and 3) it tastes great!

Anyway, you should pick one up at your local grocery store. On another food related note, my brother, Brandon, recently gave a speech at the Sloan Showcase at BYU. He describes the science behind spicy foods and even includes a practical demonstration. Wait till the end to see the volunteers choke over a dot of special hot sauce.



Well, now we say goodbye to our Pennsylvania friends for a week as we are heading to Texas soon. We'll see if we can't bring back some of the good Texas weather with us.

Trip to Boise

Last week I was able to fly home to visit family in Provo and Boise. I get a little bit more time off than Jer does, so unfortunately I had to go solo this time. It was so much fun to see my nephew, Luke. Last time I saw him, he was only about 3 weeks old. He is the cutest, most social little guy.


I had a great time catching up with some friends in Provo. I was able to attend one of my favorite nursing professors' "last lecture." I was so glad I was able to be there, she had a lot of great advice. It was so much fun walking around campus, it made me want to be a student again! My friend Merrilee and I made a much needed trip to Cafe Rio. Cafe Rio is hands down the restaurant I miss most in Pennsylvania!

After spending a couple of days in Provo, we drove home to Boise. It was so good to be home and to spend some time with my family and with another special friend...


It was great to spend some quality time together going on walks, eating meat, and finding ned (he finds his teddy bear named ned when we hide it). It was also really good to have some girl time with Brooke and Cami.


I had a great time seeing everybody, but it was really good to get back home and see Jeremy. He had a big bouquet of flowers waiting for me at the airport, what a good husband!
