Reunited

Brittney and I have been friends for years. We had so much fun in high school and our first year of college, but she moved down to Southern Utah and we didn't see each other for a couple years. Lame excuse not to stay in touch. It was weird because we used to be together all the time! We worked our first couple jobs together at a pizza parlor and at Red Robin (not even ashamed)! Anyways, we recently reunited and have been hanging out again. Its so much fun, our hubbys hit it off and we all four have a blast together. So happy to have her back:)

No, this was not a posed picture. Everytime we get together these two love jamming on the guitars... They could for hours at a time if we left them alone.

Happy Birthday girls!

Happy birthday to Britt and Jen! Love both of these ladies. Ashley and Macy put together the cutest Alice in Wonderland themed birthday party. It was adorable. I wish I got more pictures. There were tea cups and cards perfectly placed everywhere. It was so fun.

Happy Birthday Girlies!

And shout out to Aubs! You made the blog. Love you!

Campaign Craziness

Most of my friends know, I work full time on Senator Bennett's re-election campaign. Got the job last October, working towards his election this November. I LOVE campaigning, BUT you have to be passionate about it and willing to put in the hours. And by hours I mean weeks where you work like 13, 14 hour days. Poor Scotty. He has been amazing these past few weeks of madness. We are getting ready for neighborhood caucus meetings (every neighborhood in the State will have their caucus meeting March 23rd which is Tuesday). This will determine how many delegates we (Senator Bennett) gets. Very important. So in preparing for March 23rd we have been doing debates with the other candidates, packet stuffing, phone calls, event after event (Including one with Mitt Romney last weekend!), fundraising, etc.. Lots of work and lots of people volunteering. Scott has become a pro volunteer. He is so supportive, I love it.

Shells and I sorting..

Some of the boys watching March Madness while stuffing :)

Awesome volunteers everywhere!

Bennett 2010!

Oh the things spouses do that drive us nuts... For those of you who know my sweet hubby, know that he does a lot of those things! Scott is the worlds biggest tease. Thats what happens when you are the only boy and have the duty of teasing 4 sisters day in and day out.

That boy loves music, and that is one of the things I love most about him. I adore his guitar playing (except when I am trying to watch the bachelor, and I can't hear). But there is something about the recorder that drives me insane! A recorder is like a plastic flute.. Scott found an old one in his parents basement last week. It was funny to watch him try to make up songs at first.. then not so much! He just sits there while he watches TV blowing and making high pitch sounds. So I had to hide it from him. He thinks its too funny to get a rise out of me. In my defense, I did warn him.

It looks darling and innocent. Give it 20 minutes..

Those baskets on top of the cabinets looked like a good idea :)

What an evil wifey!

Ladies and gentlemen, the perfect hiding spot. He'll never know it's missing!

Life without sweets can still be sweet..

Going without sugar could easily be the worst thing ever. Or so you'd think! It's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. These are some of my favorite non-sugar items.

Clementines

Sugar free Stover's. (I try to only have two pieces a day)

Sauteed mushrooms.. Weird I know. I crave them almost every day. I sautee them in "I can't believe it's not butter" and a little water, then add some sea salt. They are delicious.

I usually cook the zukini the same way I cook the mushrooms, except I add some pepper.

I am completely obsessed with this place. It's called "yogurt stop". We have gone here almost everyday this last week. They have great sugar free yogurt, and it's pretty cheap.

I am slowly starting to feel more energetic. Bring on week two!
