perfect date night!!

Tonight for our date Dallin and I went and served dinner at the homeless shelter. It was wonderful it truly makes me grateful for everything that I have. There were family's and older people, teenagers and even some nicer dressed people there were people in wheel chairs and little children. I have never done that before and I hope to have the chance to do it again. It was tiring but the people were all SO nice. When one guy found out that we were LDS he asked us how he could join up with those fundamentalist Mormons I told him that I had absolutely NO IDEA! because we aren't affiliated with them!! another man told us he used to attend church in our building a long time ago. 4 men told me I was pretty and I cant figure out why when a homeless man tells me that I'm pretty I can immediately say thank you but when dallin says it I don't believe him!! but they only said it when dallin wasn't with me. Dallin says its because he is SO intimidating (I'm not sure that's it) I am so thankful that we had that opportunity to go and do that it was definantly a humbling experience I don't think that I have ever done service where I can see the difference I am making usually its making blankets or knitting hats and someone else gets to be the one to hear the expressions of gratitude and feel the appreciation that the people have. I loved the feeling of being needed and knowing that I was working for a good cause. I never realised how much the salvation army actually does. I never paid attention to where the extra food from costco goes dallin buys muffins from costco every other week and that was the exact thing that we were giving these people for dessert it really made me think! That is definantly one of the best dates I have ever been on!

bowl of rice!!

So the guy at the cell phone place told me that if you stick a water damaged cell phone in a bowl of rice it sometimes fixes it!! and it REALLY DOES WORK!!! that is one helpful piece of information!!

Broken cell phone...

So apearently after having a HORRIBLE day at work calling your mom and crying is NOT a good idea (I wasnt even crying hard) My cell phone now has water damage and the keypad doesnt work!!! yeah GREAT! I am so glad I have fridays off I really dont know how much more I can take!!!

relieved.....

SO yesterday my doctor called to tell me that they found an "abnormal cell growth" in my uterus but that the biopsy results weren't back yet! all of the sudden people started talking to me about cancer and hysterectomy's and a million other things that made my head spin all of the sudden it went from abnormal bleeding to cancer and my never having kids!! It really scared me! I have never had a more terrifying 24 hours!! well the doctor just called and said that my biopsy came back negative... I have never been so happy to fail a test!! I have never felt so relieved!!

favorite recipe!!

Ok so a few weeks ago I was watching my favorite cooking show everyday italian with Giada on the food network she made a recipe that took like 10 minutes and looked really good she pretty much just sauted asparagus, peas, and whole cherry tomatoes in olive oil and then added a half cup chicken broth and some cheese then poured it over pasta it looked really good so I have started making that with whatever vegtables I have to use up at the end of the week it is great with fresh, frozen and canned vegtables tonight I made fresh brocolli with frozen peas and canned corn then added the chicken broth and parmesean cheese it was really good!! I love it because it makes me feel like i dont waste my leftover vegtables anymore! You can put as few or as many vegtables in and it works it was really yummy!! but it always feels like a fresh new recipe!! i just use whatever pasta i have on hand and i can make as much or as little as i want it is awesome!! she did put alot more into it but i dont think it has to have all of that in it!!

My New Goal!! And how my last one went!!

So my goal to cook everyday went really well! i really enjoyed it! I am so proud of myself for doing it!! I will keep that one going! Also I have a new goal... I want to run in a marathon!! I know I can do it! I want to do it I have a plan and I am going to get there! I think Annie will do it with me! This is something I have always seen people do and thought that I would never be able to do it. Last week as I was sitting and watching the biggest loser I thought why not? Why can't I do it? there is NO reason that I cant! This year I am going to try to do things that I have never done and that I never thought I could or would do! I have a plan and I need to stick to it! I think I want to start out with a half marathon and then I will work my way up to a full marathon!! I need to do this for me! I will let you know how this one goes!
