24 Hours and counting

We checked in for Ev's flight this morning.  Sad that he is leaving and that I am stuck packing our entire house (minus the few boxes that Evan packed last night of books) to move into the new TOWNHOME!

Bucket List

Since Evan leaves in less than 3 days, we decided a few weeks ago that we were going to fit the whole summer's activities in 2 weeks.  Sorry here is what we have been up to...

Two weeks ago (May 14th) we went up to Midway with some good friends to hang out for the night.  When we woke up Saturday morning, we were greeted from a moose!

On Saturday the 15th Evan and I went with the Barnes to a Real Salt Lake game.  We had awesome seats!  They ended up in a tie with the Mexico team but we still had a lot of fun.  

On Sunday we went for a drive to Salt Lake to the historic cemetery.  We had a fun time just walking around trying to find all the old prophets and their families.  It was just really peaceful and nice to walk and talk with one another.

Last weekend we just watched a few movies- can't really remember what- and hung out together.  On Sunday it was my birthday.  We went to a party for a friend on Sunday night and Monday we had a few friends over for ROOT BEER FLOAT cupcakes and ice cream.  It was really nice to see old friends again that will be moving on from Provo this summer.  

We went to Tucanos last night for dinner.  It was so yummy and a nice way to celebrate my birthday for the fourth day in a row!  I love weekend birthdays because they never end.

  

Left on our list before Saturday at 4 am- fly a dang kite, BBQ on Friday, packing, and last minute shopping for things Ev needs.  

Date Weekend

Ev and I went on a long weekend date a few weeks ago.  We started out on Friday with lunch at Paradise Bakery and then we went to see a movie, Date Night (don't really recommend, too crude for us). After the movie, we had time to kill before our dinner reservations, so we went and walked South Town Mall.  We bought a few shirts and just enjoyed walking around.  After the mall, we went and had dinner at La Caille. It was so good!  We had so much fun eating good food and being in such a beautiful restaurant.  Saturday we slept in, played tennis (I think, we play a lot so I am sure we did) and then went to see Sherlock Holmes.  It was a fun weekend together without cell phones and distractions.

On a happy note, Evan finished his first year of law school, completed the write-on for Law Review and has a few weeks left with me before he ships off to Amsterdam.  We are trying to fit in as much as we can before he leaves for the summer. 

Breakfast

So since finals are this week, Evan has been going to bed late and waking up early.  So, one night while he was at school I decided to pre-make some breakfast for both of us.  I packed individual servings of smoothies so we can have a quick breakfast for on the go.  Just throw in the blender and a little juice or yogurt and you are good to go.   I also made for the first time sherbet minus the sugar and yucky stuff that comes from the store.  Each smoothie has 1 serving of dairy, a days worth of fiber, protein, and 2 to 3 servings of fruit.

Days of the week

Ev and I have our own systems to know what day of the week it is- who needs calendars. Evan counts how many pairs of shoes I have in the front room and I count bowls that Ev has in the dishwasher! Our system works pretty well.  ** And yes if you look closely, I did wear boots and sandals in the same week.  It is UTAH for Pete's sake. 

Brain Washed

Have you ever seen that episode of The Office were Jim trains Dwight to want a breath mint every time his computer dings? Well I am pretty sure that I trained Evan's brain to want cookies whenever he wakes up from a nap! Almost every Sunday I bake- of course except yesterday because we were out of butter and eggs. Well, Ev woke up from his nap and asked for cookies! So we called up some neighbors and found butter and eggs so he can have his Sunday cookies.

California here I come

One week from today I will be sitting on the BEACH in California for one last hoora with my little bro before he leaves for war.
