Wrap it up?

I got this email from my mom. I know that this blog doesn't offer cutting edge, hot off the press advice for those of you out there but I have to say I was pretty impressed with this tid bit:

I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Who ever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? Great stuff, but sometimes it can be a pain. You know, like when you are in the middle of doing something and you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over. The roll always comes out at the wrong time.

Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, Press here to lock end. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one too as does Saran wrap. I can't count how many times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up.

Good to know....

"Fondue's and Fon-don'ts"

We had a GREAT fondue party at the Duffy's.
There was a table with chicken, steak, shrimp, and salmon with

tempura to dip in and then fry.

The other table had an AMAZING cheese

dip with breads,crackers, and veggies

And lastly and AMAZING chocolate dip with this to dip in it...



We have the GREATEST friends. Thanks again Duffy's, Norris', and Black's!

Yes, this was the Young Women's contribution

to the Ward Talent Show.

We thought we'd do a Deb side ponytail thing

since we didn't really have time to find wigs.

No More COUMADIN!!

I am officially off the old lady drug!!! No more Coumadin for me!!!! Now I can eat salads, spinach, broccoli, cranberries and all the other Vit. K foods I haven't been able to eat for a year. I'm mostly excited to not be on something everyday that has not been good for my body and is a Category X drug meaning major complications if I were to get pregnant.

All around great news for me!

I don't know what it is about someone's birthday, but for some reason we go get breakfast at IHOP...maybe because it's 2 seconds from our place...

It was a gun themed birthday for Micah complete with

Academy, the shooting range, one of his favorite "gun" movies,

and a wii gun from the Duffy's

Happy 26th Micah!

Young Women's President

I don't know who lost their minds but I was called to be the new Young Women's President in our Ward. I've been in the presidency for over a year but I'm pretty sure that there are tons of better women in our ward than me. I know Heavenly Father will give me the wisdom and support I need to help these amazing girls through these tough years in their lives.

Senior Roast

SO we had 9 seniors who graduated this year from our ward so what better way to show them our appreciation then by embarrassing them? What a great night. All of the senior's families came with embarrassing stories, videos, and pictures...it was great! I got one of my friend's to make a cake and it turned out to be a fun night with good food and laughs!

The five senior boys
Victoria is going to BYU and Rachel is going to BYU-I :(...we're going to miss them
Micah and Don (nice face Micah)
