Dear everyone who reads this blog and is a college student in Utah,

Could I ask you a tiny favor?

I'm taking this marketing class and I needed to gather some primary data - meaning it would be the best thing in the world if you could take this survey for me:

It's painless, I promise.

And it will take you all of 1 minute to complete.

Thank you thank you thank you

There is one thing I could eat all day, every day for a whole lot of days.

my mama's 

orange rolls

I made them the other afternoon and I tell you there is nothing better than licking up the remains of that orange frosting off the tinfoil.  

These rolls whisk me back to all things wonderful and delicious,

plus they make the whole of our itty-bitty apartment smell like freshly baked bread.

YUM.

I really ought to make these more often.

phillis

so, now that we're married, have 2 cars, 1 parking spot and are mostly walk around town...

(while the weather stays nice)

...we've decided to sell David's car.

I guess I'm a little bit nostalgic about that little Ford Probe.

(p.s. who decided that "Probe" was a good name for a car?)

I mean, this was the stylish ride that Dave drove up in for our first date.

This cars got a whole relationship's worth of memories written all over her seats.

She got us to and from so many good times...

And now we are trying to sell her.

(sigh)

I have a tendency towards being a pack-rat of sorts...but you've gotta draw the line somewhere.


So long Phillis.
It's been fun.

update: 

Phillis is sold and gone. 

Is it weird I'm a little bit sad?

the pig skin

Some girls might call me lucky.

Some girls might pity me.

But I have watched every BYU football game for the past 2 seasons...

Away or home,

I haven't missed a'one.

I'm pretty sure...

 

I happened to have married a man and into a family that loves BYU football.

Bleeds blue.

Go Cougars.

All that jazz.

And I've become pretty savvy with the all this football lingo.

I can tell you what a safety is.
When somebody is off-sides.
How many points you get for a field goal.

And which one is Bronco Mendehall again...?

Alright.
Sometimes I haven't got a clue what's going on down there, but I never turn down the chance to eat a hotdog and don some school pride.

Plus it's a great excuse to take pictures...lots and lots of pictures.

Go Cougs!

P.S. Somehow Dave doesn't own a single BYU shirt...how on earth did this happen?
