Can I just say . . . WAHOOOOO! So much freedom! And a blog update, a very voluptuous blog update. Let us begin with weekend #1. Four splendid days that we call Memorial Day weekend. Not only did this weekend include a fort, two containers of Homemade Turtle Sundae Ice Cream, and shopping, but we also got to visit Grandpa Dee (one of my namesakes) at the Provo Cemetery and share some butterscotch candies with him.
Weekend #2 started with residuals from our Indian Market visit during weekend #1: Chicken Tikka Masala. We decided to get brave and make our own Indian food, complete with homemade Naan!
The next day, we had a marathon Salt Lake date. It started with a gift card shopping trip to Walmart, a lamp purchase at Ikea, and ring cleanings and inspections (It's so shiny!!). Then . . . we went to Moochie's: a sandwich shop in Salt Lake that was featured on Guy Fieri's Diner's, Drive-ins, and Dives. I got a meatball sub and Devin had the Authentic Philly Cheese Stake.
Next, after a quick visit to The Cathedral of the Madeleine we headed to Judge Memorial High School to watch the Utah Blitz, our very own women's tackle football team! Our cousin Soothie is one of the captains and we thoroughly enjoyed the game!

During the following week I found the easiest, most delicious cookie recipe:
Cake Mix Cookies
1 pkg. cake mix, any flavor
1/2 c. margarine, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 to 13 minutes.
Welcome to weekend #3! Our friends Kayla and Dave got married on Saturday and we were invited to their sealing. It was so fun to go to someone else's sealing. Especially since our one year anniversary is on SUNDAY! We had fun traipsing around the temple grounds and took a tour of the conference center. The day was completed with Cafe Rio (yummm) and a trip to Bountiful for the reception. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. DaCosta!
