For the past few weeks...

Here's what we have been up to lately.

 

One of my BYU roomie's little brother got married so we loaded up the car and went to Vegas.
 Don't worry, we found some time for fun too.

My friend's husband does a magic comedy show on the Stip and totally hooked us up. We saw lots of shows and ate at lots of nice places thanks to him and all of his hook-ups. We had a blast.

On the way out we stopped at Hoover Dam. We have about 500 pictures of the new bridge (Bryan loves bridges and this one is HUGE). If you have any questions I now know all about how they built it, all the forces involved (sheer and tensile), trusses, etc, Yep, we had a full lecture on Hoover Dam. It actually was kinda interesting. However, I still may need to be drugged to go over that thing. It's a bit high for my comfort level.


We then headed for Bryan's homeland. A 6 hour drive turned in to a 2 day adventure thanks to some bad weather and icy road closures. We did make it eventually and had a great Christmas.

Bryan and his Christmas sweater. What a goof.

We had a great time but are now very happy to be home.

So maybe we were a little despirate

What do you do when you are making cookies and realize that your brown sugar has turned into a cinder block? You get out a hammer, beat that brick into small pieces, and use the flour sifter to separate out the big chunks. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. Anyone want some oatmeal cookies?

For the record everything was kept perfectly sanitary in the demolition process.
If you know of an easier process please don't tell me. I don't want to know.
