"Just didn't think about it"

Yesterday Kurt and I went on a walk(we were finding rocks so that my YW girls could make prayer rocks) and he told me...

"If I were to make a T-shirt for you it would say "I just didn't think about it" "

then after we laughed about it and I realized he was actually right he said...

and the back would say "...But I didn't mean too"

I admit he is right. But, as the wife of the home there is a lot to think about. So I forget about the little things like turning off lights, turning on the right burner on the stove(not so little, that is when I say "but I didn't mean too"), flushing the toilet(j/k I really do flush).

A Chocolate Cure Experiment

Today I have been dealing with a new found cough that someone so kindly gave to me. You know the feeling...you sit at work and cough your guts out while you know everyone around you is wishing you would stop the spread of germs. I'm a bit self-conscious but I hate it when I have to sit next to the the sick guy too. But it's a new job and I am against the whole call-in-sick-when-it's-my-first-week. So sorry dude...I'm going to cough on you all day so my family can eat.

Moving forward in my story...I find myself sitting at home tonight really sick of coughing and realizing this may be my destiny for the next couple of days. I hate taking cold/cough medicines because it makes me go loony so I avoid them at all costs. So I jump online in search of a natural cough suppressant. I come across a blog that talks about cocoa being a great cough suppressant. I recommend taking the time to read it here. So it tells me a recipe for hot chocolate that will at least help my cough. I figure I will put it to the test and it's CHOCOLATE so it must be wonderful, right? Well the recipe is 10 oz Milk, 2 Tbs Sugar and 1/4 Cup Cocoa. I put the cocoa in and thought...."Whoa, that's a lot of cocoa". I am now sitting at the computer sipping from this cup of cocoa and WOW....THAT'S IS A LOT OF COCOA. It's so rich! I can't say that I am enjoying this chocolate experience but we'll see how well it does on my cough.

Ooooops!

Earlier this week I was making dinner for a friend(One of the only times that I cook). I made meat loaf and mashed potatoes. The meat loaf was done and sitting on the stove in my nice white casserole dish with my nice red dish towel over the top. I wanted to warm up some veggies and so I turned the burner on on the back of the stove (well at least I thought it was the back burner). Kurt and I ran out to take some stuff out to the car. When I came back in the house the fire alarm was going off and the dish towel that was on top of my precious meat loaf was on fire! Kurt came to the the rescue and threw the dish towel in the sink and put out the fire. It was a scary experience. Once the fire was out I was concerned about the food. Luckily it was not burnt, but, the casserole dish that it was in was ruined. Everyone makes mistake right? I will try to be more careful. I hope not too many people that live in the same condo building as us read this. :-)

Our very own spa!

Tonight I told Kurt "You are so lucky, do you realize how lucky you are?". In his very own house he owns a massage room and a Massage Therapist. Spoiled! :-).
I'm was tired of our second bedroom just being "a room" that I put stuff in. It's been a slow process I sold our futon and a few other things. Then a few weeks ago I painted a couple walls and now I love this room...



When you are laying on the table this is the view.

So tonight Kurt asked me if I would rub his shoulders. Since I love him and he deserves it I told him to go get on the massage table. I massaged his back, neck and shoulders and then did a little cranial sacral therapy (soft touch modality releasing restrictions in the cranial sacral system). Right after I was done he walked in our room and went right to bed for the night (I would too). Gosh! I would do anything for that luxury.

This is my massage room in Park City... I love it too, although I don't think the picture does it justice. It looks better in real life. But you get the idea.

I still like being at the spa. Soon I would love to go to esthetics school. I would like to do lots of things though so we'll see.

Libros...libros...libros

Just finished a couple books....thought I would share...

This is an LDS classic that I have never taken the time to read....so I decided to take the time. Rumor has it I am a bit of a sinner so it helped in that department too. It's one of those perspective books. There was nothing that I really "learned" but it put forgiveness in a perspective that makes me more humble and more thankful for the the power of forgiveness. It will never be anything I fully understand...but it's something I need to take advantage of more.


I'm the type that always has a book on CD playing in my car. It helps me keep my attention off the road so that I am more dangerous than a DUI. But I am willing to trade my safety for a good story. This is my latest book on CD I've finished. If you are part of the Gerald Lund (Work and the Glory author) fan club...I've got news for you. Dean Hughes is probably the best LDS author of all time.....yes I did just say that. (Just a little LDS-literature-trash-talk....wow it suddenly occured to me what a nerd I am) Anyway....I recommend any of his books.

...Now we return you to your regularely scheduled program

Happy Valentines Day!

I love Snow. I know I'm weird. When I woke up on Valentines Day I thought the sight outside my window was so beautiful. Don't you love the heart windows stickers. My mother in law gave them to us. Happy Valentines Day! I love you too Kurt(not just the snow).



P.S. I finally updated my last post.

Draper Temple Openhouse and New Beginnings

Tonight I went with our youth to the Draper Temple Open house. I loved it! It was so fun. To be there and witness the Young Women feel the spirit of the temple. Also to share my Joy and Blessing of the temple with them was the best feeling.



At the end of January we had New Beginnings. I got to plan the whole night, but, I had a lot of help to actually make it all happen. I know a lot of you that I serve with read this so I want say Thank You Thank You! I think it went really awesome that night. I am so glad to say it's over. I asked Andrew Rail in the Stake Young Men Presidency to create this video to show for in the program. I love it!

Update!

I feel like our blog has become Kurts blog. lol ;-). I'm so glad at least he has been posting or else our poor blog would feel abandoned and no one would come look at it cause it never gets posted on. I have been wanting to blog about so much, but, there have been other priorities and I have not quit gotten all through my thing to do list. Today I decided to not do the things I should be doing (like preparing taxes, making phone calls, ect) and do what I wanted to do. So today I read my book(children of the promise book 3), took a bath(I do that everyday anyway), just did whatever I wanted and now I'm blogging! So here is the update and the things that I have wanted/want to blog about.
