North Shore Hawaiian Ice

We got gym memberships last night at the Bountiful Rec Center.  On our way out, we saw a snow cone shack, and decided to try it out.  (Probabaly not a good thing, because now I'm going to have to get a snow cone everytime I go to the gym...just a little counter productive).  But, this is no ordinary snow cone.  It's Hawaiian shaved ice...and it's awesome.  When we pulled up, we noticed a woman walking away with her snow cone and chuckled becuase it was seriously the size of a basketball.  I had to laugh and remarked "Wow.  She REALLY likes her snow cones."  Little did I know, it was a regular sized snow cone.  Becuase when Dave ordered a medium blue raspberry, this is what we got.....

Dave was beside himself...

I ordered a small for obvious reasons. 

 And it was still ginormous. 

They were soooooo good.  Softest ice i've ever had. They're kind of pricey, ranging from $2.50-$4.50, but it's worth it, and makes for a lovely date night at the park.  :) 

 I had no trouble finishing mine (of course), but most of Dave's ended up in the grass. :) 

So, if you're hot and in need of a yummy treat, go to the Hawaiian Ice shack in the Bountiful Rec Center's parking lot.  It will not disappoint.  Just order a small...trust me.  :) 

Worst Weekend Ever

So, remember my last post and how excited I was about going camping with my family?  I was going to fish, hike, sleep, eat, and relax???  Yeah.  Didn't happen. 

Don't worry though...we still loaded up the car, made the three hour drive up to Bridger Lake, unloaded the car, put up the tent, and made the bed.  Then, an hour later, we Dave loaded everything up and headed home.  

I was SICK.  As in like SUPER ill.  I won't go into details (NO, I'm not pregnant).  But I was miserable.  We ended up going to the ER in Evanston, WY...which was an experience in and of itself btw.  There's nothing like walking into the ER and hearing a cow moo not fifty feet away at the same time.  They were bailing hay across the street.  Awesome. 

 It actually was a very nice hospital.  I just found the podunkiness of it all rather amusing.

I had a kidney infection.  Lovely.

About an hour later we were back on the road on our way home.  Worst drive ever.  I managed to not upchuck all over myself the whole way.  And then we drove out of Weber Canyon and merged onto Highway 89.  You know that on-ramp?  How it's a huge swirlydoo?  (That's the only word I can think of to describe it).  Well, upon driving on said swirlydoo on-ramp, I lost it...and all my work of keeping the little food I had in me down was gone.  Good thing the Wendy's bag from earlier was still in the car.  Ugh...gross.

So instead of my lovely relaxing weekend, I spent my days on the couch and in the bathroom with my head in the toilet.  Joy.  

Poor Dave...we took Friday and Monday off from work...and spent it doing nothing.

We're back at work today, and of course I'm feeling FINE now.  Ugh.  I'm glad I'm not so sick anymore, but seriously.  WORST timing ever.  Good thing school starts in less than two weeks!!!  Can you tell I'm having a bad day?  Such is life.          

Busiest Week Of My Life...Thus Far

This past week, I...

Packed and packed and packed some more

Made a wedding cake
Attended wedding and reception

MOVED..in ONE day

Deep cleaned my old apartment...in said ONE day

Attended a 1st birthday party...

along with the normal work week and such.

It doesn't seem like much...but trust me.  It was.  Although it was super busy, it really was quite fun...besides the moving part.  I'm certain that we moved on what was and will historically be the most humid day in Utah ever.  Not fun.  But, I enjoy being busy.  It makes me feel accomplished.  Especially since, (let's be honest), this has been my most lazy summer ever.  

The wedding cake was a lot of fun because it was my first cake made with the cricut cake...an amazing machine btw.  It had its stressful moments.  (I'm waiting for a time when I DON'T have a stress out moment with one of my cakes...it hasn't happened yet so I'm not holding my breath).  But, as always, everything worked out and I loved it. 

  I'm hoping I'll have more opportunities to mess around with the cake cricut.  It was a lot of fun and the possibilities are endless! 

Moving was chaos, but it will be worth it.  We found a place that is very close to where we are living now, but it has a dishwasher, washer/dryer hook-ups, it's a little bigger, AND, it's the same price.  Woot!  Did I mention that it has a dishwasher....a DISHWASHER!!!  Dave and I are in heaven.  :)  I'll get some pics posted once we get all settled in.  I know you're all dying to know what it looks like.  

Up for this week...
