fall vacation

Matt and I went to Moab this past week for our family vaction. I had never been there but Matt has. I think that we went the perfect week, the weather was great and the colored leaves were so beautiful. The first night we were there was stayed at the KOA campground. Matt's parents were in their camper so they were right across from us. The next morning Jane made french toast and eggs for us to test out the stove in their new camper.
For the next four nights we stayed at a townhouse right outside of town. On Tuesday we went to the Arches National Park which was alot of fun to see all the different arches and all the red dirt. On Thursday we went to Canyonlands National Park which was even more amazing.

This was the townhouse we stayed in. In this picture we were eating Numero Uno Pizza that Bob and Jane brought ALL the way up from California when they had gone down in September. Even though it was 4 weeks frozen it was still just as good and still the best.
This was on an off roading trail that we had gone on with Jon(matt's brother) and Aidan(nephew). We didn't want Aidan to hit his head on the side of the car so we made him wear my bike helmet. Matt just told me that it is the law if the child is under 8 so good thing that we did. Good thing that Matt is such a great little driver.

ummm...well...okay Matt was driving and I told him when he got on a good incline to let me sit in the drivers seat to make it look like I did it. We even put Aidan in the drivers seat and took pictures. We had such a fun trip, we even went on Hell's Revenge but we went on a tour so we could enjoy it to its fullest. The Hummer tour was alot of fun. Aidan had a blast too. Thanks for all the family that could make it.

my recovery

This is my foot before the surgery. (wow what a bone)
Here it is about 3 weeks after. Today its been 5 weeks. The doctor said that I can start putting it in a shoe instead of my boot......but sadly I tried every left shoe I owned and I can't get my foot into any of them. I thought that I would be out of my boot for good in one more week but now I am not sure because I don't know what shoes I would wear. But for the most part I am really glad that I am taking care of my feet now so later in life they won't cause me any problems.
This is a picture of me I took tonight so there wouldn't just be pictures of my foot on this post. :) Isn't Flannigan cute?!

foot surgery

On Tuesday I went to have a bunionectomy. I closed my eyes for "one minute" and I woke up and it was all done. I spent one night and then came home on Wednesday morning. I go back to work next Friday which is kinda soon but I will mostly just be doing computer work so I think I should be okay but we will just have to wait and see.
Matt has been so good to me taking care of me, getting me flowers. When I got home he had this set up for me with a tv tray and the pillows and blankets. He carrys me to the bathroom when I need to go because it still hurts to put weight on it. He makes me meals and serves them to me. I bet he can't wait for me to get my other foot done. Yesterday I was in pain but today it really hasn't been too bad. Our friends Brad & Stephanie came over last night and made us dinner which was yummy. Kilie brought us Lime Rickeys which are my favorite.
This was me getting ready today, Matt thought that it was funny. He got a bath all ready for me today, he has just been the best. Thanks honey for being so sweet to me.

cooking for my family

My friend Kilie invited me to go to her mother's ward enrichment last night. The Food Nanny was there and taught us the importance of cooking dinner and eating as a family. I bought her cook book (which they sell at costco) and I love it. There is over 200 awesome recipes.
I made bread today that only took 45 minutes from start to finish. It was so easy too. But Kilie and I decided that if we were going to be cooking all these wonderful meals for our husbands that we better have a dang cute apron to cook in. So we made these aprons today which took us alittle while but we did it.

This is the front cover of the cook book if you are interested. There is also a website thefoodnanny.com.

some old pictures

I was looking at some old pictures today and thought that I would post some. This was at Mike and Annie wedding in February 13, 2004.
Matt and I starting dating in October 2003. Dated one year and got married.
After just two weeks of dating Matt told me that he loved me. How cute is he :)

These last two pictures were the summer of 2004. Sherilyn was taking pictures of us and we ended up using them for our engagements.

This picture was December 2004 in our first appartment in downtown SLC. When we moved Matt had a job but I didn't. I had to get one pretty soon so we could pay bills. Our rent was $435. (wow that would be great to have that rent again.) We were young but I wouldn't change a thing.
