"MMMmmm....Now That's On Point"

I love, love, love the Food Network and I watch it all the time. Tony used to think it was lame but now he is starting to slowly enjoy it with me. Yesterday we were watching Guy Fieri make egg rolls and thought they looked awesome so we looked up his recipe online and made them ourselves tonight! They turned out SO GOOD!!! They were so fun to make and we felt so fancy making them.

Here's Tony rolling them up
The finished product
Here's the link for the recipe.

We did make some changes and didn't add everything the recipe called for but they turned out so good! They were also really cheap to make and tasted way better than the ones you can buy at restaurants.
We had so much fun!
Let me know if you give them a try!

Moved In

Well, we made it! After four days of traveling we are finally here!!! The trip here was long but we had fun being in the car together. Here are a few pictures from our little roadtrip!

This is what we drove and pulled all the way there...

To avoid the windy mountain roads we had to drive through Vegas first. We drove over the Hoover Dam which was really neat to see. A new bridge is being built there too! Here are some pictures of the construction going on for that...

There were SO MANY tourists to see the Hoover Dam! It took us a couple hours in stopped traffic to get to and over the Hoover Dam but the view was awesome.
I really don't like long car trips but Tony was so great about being super positive and upbeat about the whole trip, just to keep me happy. Can you tell?
Unfortunately my camera batteries died after only making it to Arizona so those are a few of the pictures that I was able to take.

We've been here for about a week and we are ALMOST fully moved in. All of the boxes are unpacked--it's just a few of my things that aren't organized yet.
We are loving our new apartment! The layout is really homey and we have an extra bedroom and bathroom. Which, surprisingly enough, we are using all the space. I have no idea where all of our stuff came from!

Tony starts work next week so we are enjoying the last week of our vacation together! We've been sleeping in, watching movies, doing lots of shopping, building shelves and other pieces of furniture along with organizing things in our new home. It has been great!
I feel so blessed to be here and for Tony to have a great job.

I'll be sure to post pictures of our new place soon!

See you in 2009

We're heading off! My next post will be from the Ozarks, our new home sweet home.
Happy New Year's Eve!!!

Graduated

This post is a little late but important! Tony is finished with school! Yay!!! I'm so proud of him :) Unfortunately he won't be walking since BYU doesn't hold graduation ceremonies until spring. I wanted some pictures of him in graduation robes...oh well. He graduated from BYU'S Marriot School of Business. I found these little clips from the paper about his program:

For the first time ever, BusinessWeek placed BYU in its top tier of business schools, earning a No. 22 overall rank in its Nov. 24 issue.

The Princeton Review also ranked the Marriot School as the fourth most competitive, and 10th in the category of "best classroom experience."

Pretty impressive, huh?

Stockings!

I met up with my friend Heather at Trolley Square for dinner so of course I had to browse Pottery Barn while I was there. I have been looking for stockings but didn't want to buy any unless they were the perfect ones! We'll have these for years! I saw these in the catalog and loved them but when I was in the store they were on SALE!!! Whoo hoo!!!I got the red one for me and unfortunately for Tony they didn't have the green one pictured above, so I got him a traditional red and white velvet stocking. I don't think he minds :)
I'm so excited for Christmas!

PASSED!

Ok if any of you know my math history, you know that this is very exciting! I passed my math class! WHOO HOO!!! Not only passed but I did pretty good! Not an A good (no one in my class got an A, except for maybe this kid who sat in the back corner, kept quiet and knew EVERYTHING--I should've sat by him...) but I feel very good about it. Christmas break has officially begun and I couldn't be happier!!!

Happy For The Holidays!

I am LOVING this season! For Thanksgiving we went to my parent's house and spent a few days there. My mom is so great at making wonderful food and setting the table beautifully. We watched Home Alone on Thanksgiving night (a family tradition) and went to Bolt in 3D the day after Thanksgiving. We had a great time spending a couple days with them.
Tony picked me up from work last week and this is what I saw when I opened the door...
Well this except for the decorations. I was so surprised! I was kinda bummed we wouldn't have a tree, but honestly where would we put it? Tony rearranged our apartment a little bit so it would fit. I love it! It is so fun to have the lights lit up. It makes our little apartment feel more homey. I can't wait for Christmas!
