OHIO BUCKEYES!

These are THE BOMB!!! I've found myself really enjoying cooking and baking new recipes for my hubby! I got this one from Michelle Carey, my old neighbor. They are called Ohio Buckeyes, and they are DELICIOUS with a capital D. Tanner and I have probably gained 10 pounds off of them :)

Goodbye Creampuff...

Bottom line...I miss our Passat. We bought it in September, and sold it November 10. We found a heck of a deal in Logan on a Mazda 3 and couldn't pass it up. So we bought it. We had 2 cars for about a week, and it was HEAVEN!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Tanner works construction in Ashton every day, and I'm at school all day. I've found it very difficult to go grocery shopping, do laundry, and other random things with no car. So the 4 days I had "creampuff," it was quite enjoyable. I drove to school, I could drive to the store instead of walk, I didn't have to haul my laundry around town anymore, it was nice! hahaha. Those 4 days with creampuff were memorable ones. She kept me warm, and she got me places I needed to be in 5 minutes instead of 30. I became attached to this car of ours, and I didn't want her to go! well, we decided that we are a young poor couple with no money, and we probably couldn't afford to have 2 cars. We posted creampuff on Craigslist, the BYUI bulletin, and in ONE day, we had 5 people call on it. After 4 days, our creampuff was sold. A young man fell in love with it, and I was sad. Oh well, our new car (cheryl) will hopefully keep me warm like creampuff did.

COOKING

So before I got married, I never did much cooking; but whenever I would, I really enjoyed it. Since my mom made dinner for us every night, I never really thought about making dinner because it was already made for me! Terrible attitude I know...but that's what I thought. Since being married for 3 weeks,I have had over 21 opportunities to make dinner for my husband. I have gotten online and found recipes, made up my own, attempted at making some of my mothers masterpieces, along with my mother in laws. I have had many intersting experiences. One sunday I burned rolls because Tanner and I fell asleep and I didn't hear the timer go off. Another time I burned an entire cake that was a surprise for Tanner. After several catastrophies, we figured out that the temperature of our oven is completely off. (so it wasn't ALL my fault....haha)

One day Tanner asked if I would make some sort of bacon and chicken concoction for dinner. I had no idea what to make so I found a recipe online of these little chicken/bacon wrap things. I had NO idea how they would turn out......but they were quite a hit! We loved them, and we even wanted more when they were done!
















So my mother in law has this fantastic cookie recipe, so I attempted to make them last night. I was excited to make them for Tanner, because he loves them. I called her like 3 times just to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. The first batch was very interesting....it turned out like this:
















The second batch was a little better....




















And the third batch....yeah I'm not really sure. They have HOLES in them!!!! I guess none of us are as good as our mothers.


















*Overall, I enjoy cooking. But I kind of struggle. That is all part of the fun...is laughing with your husband when you burn his meals. :)

Halloween!

Well....Tanner and I carved a pumpkin for halloween but i forgot to get a picture of it. For halloween this year we decided to be babies. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. We both have onesies, so that's what we were!! We laughed our heads off.


I'm so glad we have fun together :)






























He also got me these adorable flowers for halloween. I LOVE my husband. He's the best.
