Pie Anyone?

Pie, pie, and more pie!

So our ward had a 24th of July celebration last night and there was a pie contest. I enjoy a good pie so I decided to enter. My first thought was a peach pie. But then I decided to do a summer berry pie, a chocolate cream pie, and a sweet potato pie. I admit, it was a little overkill, but they were a lot of fun to make.

Summer Berry

Chocolate Cream

Sweet Potato

I ended up winning 2nd and 3rd place and a prize for the "Most Surprising" for my Sweet Potato pie. I am not quite sure how to take that last award. They were either surprised that it was good because it looked so bad, or they were surprised they didn't die. I am not quite sure...

It was all in good fun, but next year I am out for blood!!

Spring?

So much for spring...

Alan and I went to Idaho for the weekend to take Karina back and we had quite the trip home yesterday. About 5 miles outside of Boise my front driver side tire blew out. It freaked me out. I pulled over and Alan put on the spare. It was crazy windy outside and very cold.

Then we had to turn around and go back to Boise to get new tires. Just so you know, NO ONE is open on Sunday except for Firestone. I know that for a fact. So $540 dollars and 2 hours later we were on the road. Again...kinda sucks.

As soon as we hit Rupert we ran into a snowstorm. I was clenching the side of my seat for aver an hour. It was no fun. The thing that makes me the most upset are the people who think they are indestructible and drive 70mph anyway! I dislike them very much.

By the time we made it home I was done and it was a good thing.

I am waiting for spring and I refuse to wait much longer.

My Complaint to Dairy Queen

Alan, Karina, and I decided it would be fun to go to Dairy Queen this evening. Our experience was less than enjoyable. We went for a cool treat but all we got was frustration for fast food and stupid teenagers!!!

Here is the complaint I filed on the Dairy Queen website.

"The way that the restaurant was being run at this location was appalling! The service was incredibly slow and the boy behind the counter forgot to get us our food. When I saw him serve the people who ordered after we did, I reminded him that we needed our treats as well. He then looked at me with a blank stare and asked me what we ordered. I told him and then he started on our food. This was about 10 minutes after we had originally ordered our food. I then had to completely retell our order and even at that we got the wrong blizzard. We ordered a Georgia Mud Fudge and got an Oreo. I told them the mistake so they remade it. They made it with vanilla ice cream and brownie chunks, and that was all. I am pretty sure that was wrong. When we finally got our food we went to go sit down. We then noticed the run down condition of the establishment. The roof looked like it had experienced major water damage, the garbage cans were overflowing, and the tables were very sticky. We put our two-year-old into a high chair and it was extremely stick and dirty. My ice cream was soupy and the portions were grossly oversized. Needless to say, we will not be returning until we feel these concerns have been rectified."

I know this may sound petty, but is it too much to ask for?! I mean REALLY?!

New World

So many changes, so little time.

I am a wife, a daughter-in-law, a step-mother, a Mrs. and a Miss, a sister-in-law, and who knows what else.

The other day Alan and I were upstairs and left Karina downstairs for a few minutes. She was coloring. She was happy.

Alan went back downstairs and he started laughing. I came downstairs and this is what we saw...

She was putting on lipstick with a green marker.

She was a little embarrassed...

Changes!

Frustrations

I am getting married in 33 days and everything has been going smooth as can be except for one thing...I need to fill my place in the apartment. I was pretty confident at first, but my faith is beginning to waver.

As am writing, I did have a girl send me a message about the apartment. She has two little dogs, so we shall see.

Isn't it interesting how God works! As I am typing that my faith is wavering I get a response on my add. I should never question my Heavenly Father!!!

My main concern about starting a blog was that it would be too boring to read. I hope that I am wrong!
