This is long over due...




I have been putting off putting up my cupcake pictures and I couldn't procrastinate any longer. These are my Spring Garden cupcakes and my Valentine cupcakes and then a cake with the leftover stuff from my garden supplies :)

Moving in 3 weeks

So the big move is only 3 weeks away.  I'm getting really excited.  Work didn't have too much trouble finding a replacement.  I quit last Thursday and they started training a new nurse on Tuesday.  I don't feel bad about that anymore.  Life has been fun.  We have been going on long walks for the last 3 days, the goal being improving our health.  The neighborhoods around us have some beautiful front yards with lots of tulips.  I am loving it.  Life is super great.  We hung out with friends a lot this week. 
           Monday, we went on a double date with Landes' friend Corey and his wife and baby.  We decided on Thai food and received the worst service of my life.  We were in the restaurant for 15 minutes.  Thirty minutes after we ordered, she finished serving the table next to us and said it would be 10 more minutes.  It ended up being 20 minutes until the 1st person got their food.  She brought out 2 plates, then the third 5 minutes later.  My meal came 10 minutes after that.  I was starving.  When we were leaving she said they usually weren't so busy and they just got slammed.  The trouble with this statement was that there were only 2 tables of people and over 20 tables at the restaurant.  It seemed she could only serve one table at a time.
          Tuesday, we drove up to Salt Lake for a triple date with Parker & Jill and Dave & Jen.  Jill made some delicious taco soup and bean dip and everyone brought too many cookies.  We played a movie trivia game in which Landes and I triumphed.  I will miss those friends when we move...so funny.
           Wednesday, we went out for Sushi for my friend Ashley's birthday.  Sushi is a little pricey, but amazing.  My favorite was the Vegas roll.  It was a delightful evening and I was happy to see Ashley and Janice before the move.  A chocolate butterfly cake topped off the evening well.
            Landes had to work Thursday night, do I did dishes and watched tv.  I ended up watching Disturbia, which was playing on tv and wasn't scary until after I was hooked.  I was terrified when I heard a knock on the door, but it was just some little kids.  They offered to take out my trash for $1and I just couldn't turn them down.  It was delightful.
             Also this week, we watched all 4 Tremors movies.  They were not particularly good movies, but funny.  They are about giant man-eating worms in rural Nevada.  Very random.  I worked tonight and will work tomorrow night as well.  We will visit Nan on Tuesday and visit Manti, maybe go on a southern Utah adventure.  We shall see.
