So my older sister Sandi made this AWESOME quilt for a family tradition they started. Each year on a family members birthday, they get to sleep with this quilt. It is classy and beautiful. So naturally I wanted to copy the idea. I knew I wouldn't have the patience to complete a quilt like her so I decided to make my own design, a much more simple version. I kinda made it up. I had a lot of fun with it, not saying I would jump up and do it again right away but it was fun and I am getting over my hate relationship with the sewing machine my mother gave me for Christmas.
I also learned how to make a pinapple upside down cake from scratch. For some reason I was craving one while I was making dinner. I found a recipe in one of my many recipe books and it was super easy! I didn't even know if Kyle liked pineapple upside down cake, but hey what I want I get hahaha ; ).
Kyle has been enjying school this semester. He has been a lot closer to home and that has been such a blessing. He was able to have his classes at the Brigham City USU campus. It has been so nice to have him around a little more. He works so hard at work and a school. Currently he works for Direct TV in the CS dept. Not his favorite job, but he is pretty good at it and he has been the top in sales for his team for the last two months. Kyle's birthday is this week and I am soooo excited! I have some great things planned (he doesn't read the blog so I think I am safe in saying that).OH and I almost forgot! Kyle's Peach Cobbler Delight is in the finals for the SubZero new flavor contest!! A while back I introduced Kyle to Subzero, and he was hooked! Every time we go down to South Jordan we stop by. After going to it for a few times Kyle created his Peach Cobbler Delight flavor, which consists of Peaches, graham cracker crumbs, cake batter, & cinnamon, plus the premium ice cream. It is super good. It is sooo good that they put it on their wall in South Jordan. About 1 1/2 months ago they announced their new flavor contest. Kyle of course entered it and was in the top ten finalists!! So on April 30th we are going down to the Provo Towne Center to get people to come taste and vote for Kyle's creation!!! We are SUPER excited! Could ya tell?
Right now we are very much in to the series BONES. We love it. We started watching it on Netflix from season one and are currently on season three. We watch it every chance we get. It has been fun, but yesterday we were watching it and one of the main characters was written out basically. It was sooo sad, because he was one of our favorites. I thought Kyle was going to cry, I know I wanted to. haha. Before we were addicted to Bones we worked on beating Mario on the Wii. We have had fun together during these winter months being stuck in the house for the most part. We have gone snow boarding a few times, love it (even tho I am terrible). I love that we have things that we love to do together.
Our next adventure we are starting together will be a business! It is a business I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember. We will be doing events such as weddings and large parties. To start out we will be renting linens, chair coverings, and the main thing is draping. When we got married I hated the look of a cultural hall reception and I was frustrated with the costs of making it look nice. As members of the church the focus is on the temple and covenants made there, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun and have a beautiful reception at a reasonable cost. We are in the begining stages of planning but are hopping to have it up and running by the fall. I will post more as we move further along!!
