Banana Pancakes

We finally got our wedding pictures from our photographer! I just love looking at them because it brings back wonderful memories of such a magical day! I posted an earlier post about our wedding bands that we were in the process of making out of a quarter (mine) and a half dollar (Gary's) and they turned out so cute! I put a picture up so you can all see them!


We finally moved into our place a few weeks ago but have somehow managed to ditch out of going to our new ward until now (tomorrow will be our first day). Gary started another semester of school earlier this month and is doing great! He's such a good, hard working student. I try not to be a distraction for him but appreciate the willingness he is to make sure we spend time together each day. Now that I'm finished with school, I really want to learn new skills. Earlier this year I made my first attempt at making a quilt. It is SO cute!!! I'll have to post a picture of it! Have you heard of rag quilts? That's what I made! I'm excited to make another one and even have a really cute idea for my next one, but think I might take a break from the eternal quilting hours to develop another new skill...any suggestions? I'm hoping to make the attempt at some canning in the near future as well so that will be fun.


Recently it's been raining quite a bit. In fact, yesterday Gary noticed that we have snow on our mountains again! The weather has sure cooled down in the last week. I'm not sure I'm ready to give up summer just yet. I hope it warms up for a few Saturday afternoon football games. Speaking of football games, did anyone happen to watch the BYU/Boston College Football game this morning? It was a bit of a let down, but a GREAT game! We had a big party over at Jason and Shannon's house this morning and made Belgium waffles and watched the game. Last night Aaron and Stacey, Jason and Shannon, Brandon and Stephanie, and Gary and I all went bowling. It was lots of fun. We would have loved to play another game but someone had rented out the ENTIRE bowling alley and so they kicked us off at 7:45. LAME! I can't figure out why any bowling alley (especially the one at BYU) would rent the entire thing out on a Friday night. It must be some rediculous price so that they actually make MORE money renting the whole thing out than they would if they had a packed house all night long. So, I suppose the person who rented it out is the fool eh? I'm sure you're wondering who won the game? Well, don't worry about it! :)




Anyhow, I had this HUGE long list of things to do today and watching football all day while blogging and looking at wedding pictures was NOT on the list! I think I'll run to the grocery so that we have food to eat this week!
