Baking Machine....

ok, so that term does NOT refer to me... but it does refer to my sister KRYSTIN.... cooking and baking extraordinaire. She was nice enough to come over and bake cookies with me to break in my new kitchen aid (Which i love by the way)

We also got to break in my new aprons that I got from my best friends for the wedding, and also from our good family friend Tammee. So that was a perk. We really loved that and naturally had to take some pictures.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to krys for all her help and being patient with me, trying to teach me to cook for years now. Krys, I hope you are loving Rexburg, and I know that we all miss you over here. You are so amazing and so talented, and everyone just loves you! You made my time in provo so fun, and i really do miss seeing you everyday! Hang in there babe... i love you! The cookies were GREAT!!









Well, we are getting all settled in to our apartment! We got our couch, everything is put away, and we are definitely loving it!! Another good thing that has happened that is good is I GOT A JOB!!!!! Two jobs actually.... so its finally AMAZING to work full time!! I am being a teller at the bank from 6:45 am - 11:00 am... and then driving over and doing clerical work for a company from 12:00 pm- 5:00 pm. I can't even tell you what a relief it is, and I am so so blessed to have it finally working out, even if its just for now! :) Prayers are really answered...

Josh is going to school at Boise State ALL day on Tuesdays and Thursdays while still working all day Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So needless to say he is so busy too. BUT here is a cute story: The other day, I got home from work at 5:30 afer working all afternoon. Josh had done so many loads of laundry to get it all caught up, did all the dishes, picked up everything, made the bed with all the pillows that i know he isn't crazy about, but he did them just like i like them, and also lit this new candle that i got (LEAVES from bath and body works.... absolutely amazing) and even though he is not loving the scent like i do, he still had the whole apartment smelling like it, with a COLD amazing diet mt. dew on the counter for me.... he is so amazing. and we are loving being married!!

Let's just say that amanda DRILLED josh's knee with a golf ball. Well, it bounced, and josh jumped in the air to miss it, and it hit him right in the knee. sorry joshy, it was sooo funny though. haha. Poor baby was instantly on the ground, as seen below :) Needless to say, it was a great day.
