My first time trying Ramen: loved it! Well, loved most of it. Pickled bamboo shoots? Not my jam. But everything else was absolutely delicious! Everybody needs to go see our favorite sushi guy, Mike at Kobe Sushi in Milcreek! He's amazing.
this photo of my husband makes me so stupidly happy. He has been working so tirelessly helping get the new gym ready and I'm so proud of him and his coworkers and his boss, Jeff for all of their hard work! The gym is INCREDIBLE. I have no words to describe how amazing it is. I am so proud! Today is opening day!
Fresh squeezed orange juice is so much better when you just juice the oranges, rather than squeeze them! This glass in particular followed an awesome mid week yoga class in provo at 3B yoga with my sisters! We loved it.
My house now has a dirty diet coke station, but the syrup is going fast! Best purchase I've ever made.
Coop, just doing the dishes.
my cute sleeping family on a sunday morning. i love these two more than anything in the world.
quick story: about 4 years ago, I worked at Bath and Body Works - we were getting some new "props" (tables and display furniture) so these old tables were gonna get chucked. My boss offered to sell me one, so I bought it! And then it sat in my parent's garage for the next 4 years… and then, I got this absolute obsession over finding myself a way to have a little office space in our house and brought this desk home a few weeks later. Devin helped me sand it down and paint it (the yellow is a nod to our bedroom in our first apartment together - exact same paint color!), and viola! A little corner of my own in our tiny little house. I love it!
And so… I've been looking for any and every excuse to sit here and do stuff. (cutest thank you cards from the dollar spot in Target - I always find amazing stuff in there!)
Let's also talk about the day I took off work last week to make ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FRENCH MACARONS. Yes, I took the day off work. To bake. And it was worth it! I feel like if I can finally get some consistency in my batches (they all come out different shapes and sizes, even though I use the same process every time) - I could really start doing this for real! If you know anyone who needs some macarons, and wouldn't mind my amateur skills, i'm your girl!
Let's also talk about how this 4 year old girl gives the very best hugs. She's got a huge heart for her Uncle Devin. I love her so much!
Finished product! I can't even believe it. My macarons!! I made those! What a proud moment.
So the story is this: Cameron is Devin's cousin. Melanie, his now wife, is french. As in FROM FRANCE. As in, not according to her ancestry, but as in full blown french. So, Devin's aunt, Cameron's mom thought it would be cute to have french macarons at the wedding reception, you know, since Melanie's relatives would be flying in, FROM FRANCE. Talk about intimidating! As I was putting the cookies out, Melanie asked if she could try one. I told her that made me nervous, since she was french. And in the cutest french accent, she said "why? because I know what real french macarons are?" and I said… exactly. She tried it…. and loved it! How much better does it get? A bona fide french woman loved my macarons. My life is COMPLETE.
The Shops at Riverwoods has the prettiest view of Timp. What a gorgeous day!
