I don’t know why it has taken me so long to post this but I thought I should. About a year or so ago, Devin found out about a scholarship opportunity on campus. You had to create some sort of how-to video for a new web site. Originally, Devin was going to do one on…
What does that mean? During my fist few years at BYU I took two floral design classes, both from the same teacher. If there was one thing she was extremely adamant about it would be the word “cheap”. Never was a flower or green cheap, but it was inexpensive. She explained cheap as being only…
The 26th is Grandma Betty Counts’ (Devin’s dad’s mom) 80th birthday. The family decided to make it very special by planning a huge surprise party for her on the 24th. We had a full dinner and of course, a big birthday cake. For the exception of a few cousins, almost everyone was there. Devin’s aunt’s…
For those who are not familiar with the BYU campus, let me let you in on a few secrets about that bathroom situation. Not every bathroom is created equally. There’s generally three types: the bathrooms in the exercise/health buildings, the bathrooms in the Wilk and then every other bathroom. For some reason, BYU thinks that…
I’m sure you all know what that means. It’s a TV show on TLC. It’s pretty much the best show ever! We have cable again and I have a lonely two classes this semester so I’ve found myself wasting a lot of time watching TLC and the Food Network. I know–what a waste. Especially since…
I like fresh food. There are very few things that I will even think about eating when it comes to food and expiration dates. However, there are two exceptions to this rule: soda pop and canned food. I decided that drinking expired pop wasn’t that big of a deal because up until a few years…
Devin and I really like to go to any and all Divine Comedy shows. Ok, so it’s a little freshman feeling but a few bucks is worth the candy and good laughs that we get at every show. For those who don’t know, Divine Comedy is a school sponsored (you actually sign up for class…
For Christmas Devin gave me a gift certificate to my favorite restaurant: Ixtapa. There was one problem with that…it’s in Washington. So of course the next gift was tickets to Seattle! We only went for a four days of which we spent most of our time eating food. This is my favorite food ever! Of…
Just a quick blip about the holidays. We spent Christmas Eve doing some baking. I made two of the Sal family traditional treats: pecan sandies and candy cane cookies. We also tried homemade marshmallows. Last year my VT-ing partner made some and they were delicious. Mine didn’t turn out like hers so maybe we will…
Last semester was not one of my favorites and that is probably an understatement. The goal: survive. Grades: pass just enough so it counts (in other words, no less than a C- in each class). Oddly enough things just seemed to work out. From the extreme curve on tests (often exceeding a 10% increase which…
