Technically, I’m still on my mini vacation right now, but we don’t have much planned today so you get to hear from me. I’m going to catch you up on what we’ve been up to on these next few posts.

I was in charge of an event at the Farmer’s Market a few weeks ago. It kind of took over my life for a little while. It was an ALS Awareness Freedom Celebration. ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Disease is what my father in law passed away from in 2008. There are a lot more people effected by this disease than many people are aware of. It is actually a much more common disease than most people think. We gave out Lou Gehrig baseball cards with ALS information on them, sold raffle tickets, and partied it up with Charlie the Idaho Falls Chukar!

We were able to make about $100 for the ALS Association, and spread a lot of awareness. It was such a neat experience. Dave even made a Chukar balloon for Charlie.

On the 4th, we decided to try and turn ourselves into a little business. Dave made 100 bags of cotton candy and we purchased several cases of soda and water on a really good sale and we walked the parade selling cotton candy and they got a free drink with their purchase. We were a little worried about not being able to sell all of the bags. We were planning on walking the entire parade and walking back. We figured we should be able to get rid of all of it then, and if not, we would head down to the river where they had more festivities. We actually sold out only about 3/4 of the way down the parade! We didn’t even have to walk the whole thing and back. It was really fun and kind of a funny way to watch the parade.

My sweet brother Payton was hired to help us out. He’s such a good sport. He was a little squished in the car!

Oh, and want to see how our bedroom furniture started moving downstairs?

We were laying in our bed at about 11 pm and were sweating! We couldn’t fall asleep at all. We looked at each other and said, “Want to move our mattress downstairs?”. So we did it! We only slept like this for about 2 nights though. The rest of our bed is down there now! The bedroom makeover is coming along!

When you think of a romantic evening with your husband celebrating your 3rd anniversary what do you think of? Dinner by candle light, a themed suite, or maybe a romantic picnic? Nope! Wings of course! Buffalo Wild Wings just opened in Idaho Falls and we HAD to go check it out the 2nd day it was open! That day just so happened to be our anniversary. Nothing quite says “I love you forever” like Hot Barbeque wings that make you want to cry and keep you up with a tummy ache all night!

Don’t worry though, I did have a romantic lunch with him earlier that day in his 3rd grade classroom. Panda Express in elementary desks. We probably deserve the “Most Romantic” award this year!

I love watching Studio 5 when I am in Utah. We need to be able to watch it in Idaho! Today, I had a few pictures on it!

When we first came to SLC this week, Dave decided that we needed to try new things. We went to the Sweet’s Candy Factory and took a tour. It was so cool. Not too mention, you get free samples!

We also decided to go to Gilgal Sculpture Garden. It is so random, but totally awesome! You have got to check this place out.

We also were planning on going to the Bees season opening baseball game because we love them. BUT it was snowed out! So to try something new, we scalped tickets to the Jazz game for $10!

Try something new this weekend!

With my sewing machine. I never have, nor will I ever claim to be a sewing expert. But I’m pretty sure this isn’t supposed to happen…

If you are wondering why my cute shirt tutorial isn’t up yet, ask the Singer. Grrr.

I hope you’re having a happier day than I am!
