Date Night with Thai Food


We decided to be adventurous and try new food that we had never tried before.  This small place called Thai Ruby that Jacob had heard about so we went out on a limb to exercise our taste buds.  Turned out that this was a good idea! We had no idea what to order so we asked for suggestions and just chose one.  I got the Masoman Curry dish which has peanut butter in it!  Jacob got Pad Thai.  We each had some of each and enjoyed both of them.   And of course just being on a date with this stud muffin is more than I could ever ask for.  I love that he still surprises and courts me, keeping the love alive! This adventure has convinced us to keep trying new kinds of foods and new places, who knows what will be next!

Mission Impossible

On Friday's and Saturday's during the summer Jacob had to work and I didn't  That usually meant cleaning, cooking and grocery shopping.  But instead of doing that boring stuff, today I decided to make a big mess and create a game for him to play when he got home from work.  I got the lazer idea from Pinterest (of course) but the whole part about the balloons and the mission impossible part mixed with the lazers I had a dream about haha so of course I had to do it!  I couldn't find any red string or yarn (I walked to the BYU bookstore) so I got streamers.  People have asked me how long it took me to set up, and I think that it took about 45 minutes...roughly...I wasn't timing.  So I wrote him his mission, taped it on the door and waited. 

I heard the door open and he immediately started playing his role, no laughing, he just got his gun and went at it! He did a really good job!    He ended up doing it two more times and I did it as well.   Pretty much he thought I was the best wife ever, and I thought he was the best cause he had a great time doing my silly activity.   We had to take the streamers down so we could get around, but the balloons are going to stay up for target practice. 

Live is sometimes mundane and sometimes feels as though we just do the same things over and over, wake up, eat, get ready, go to work, come home sleep.....but we just have to remember to cherish every moment, be spontaneous, make memories and love life.




Surprise

 I came home from work, and this was my surprise!  Jacob, the sweetest husband ever, set up our tent and fill it with cushions, blankets, and pillows. We watched a show and played our new card game in it!  It was very fun!  It has now been set up in our living room for 3 days haha.

Grandma Kendall's 80th Birthday!

The whole family was there!  The first time in a very long time.  We had a photographer come for family pictures and had a great time posing for those with a crazy mass of people and children. The dinner at the Joseph Smith building was delicious as always and it was loud and fun with all the talking and catching up.  Michelle and Emma made a trivia game about grandma's life, I did pretty well but a lot of it was guess work.  I realized that I need to get to know my family members a little better.  I love my family!





I love these cute boys who have become such good friends!
