Becoming Vegetarians

That's right, Parker and I are vegetarians... for a month... ok, and we're actually only "semi-vegetarians" which means (according to my professor) that we can eat fish and chicken occasionally. I have to do it as part of an assignment for one of my classes just to try it out. Parker has to do it because he agreed to do it with me, and it makes my class easier. I've done it for 6 days so far, and I don't think it's that bad. I like fruits and veggies. :)

Weekends Are Never Long Enough

The weekends always seem to be jam packed with activity! Once Sunday comes around I'm usually thinking something like "I'm not ready to go back to school! I need another weekend to recover from all this excitement... and to get everything done that I was supposed to do."

Here's a recap of the past couple weekends for anyone who's interested...

Two weeks ago we got to watch general conference, and spend time with lots of family. My siblings came from Idaho, and my parents came from Oregon. It's always fun to see them. Hopefully they'll come visit again soon. (Side Note: I watched the movies "Wives and Daughters" at my grandma's house, and I have to say, if you love Pride and Prejudice, I definately recommend this movie!)

This last weekend we spent Saturday in Payson going fishing for rainbow trout! We had so much fun with our good friends Bobby and Helena out in the great outdoors! Everyone except Parker caught 3 fish, (not counting the ones that got away) but poor Parker didn't have much luck. His very first cast he caught a fish but it got away... and it was pretty much downhill from there for him. Regardless, Parker was a pretty good sport and we both agreed, we'll need to go again!

Sunday afternoon we ate a delicious dinner with Parker's grandparents and other family. It was great to see many of them!

Now we're back to the grindstone... classes, homework, reading, tests... but life's going well. :)

New Toys!

A couple weeks ago, Parker and I attended the Living Scriptures Banquet. This is where the company gives out the awards/prizes the salesmen earn over the summer. We didn't know what Parker might get, but even if he didn't get anything, I was just excited to have a nice dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial building (and it was just as delicious as I was expecting). We had a great night, and Parker was pleased with his awards. He got an I-pod touch for being one of the top first year salesman and got a digital video recorder for selling over 250 sets. He decided to take the video recorder back to put towards upgrading the i-pod to a 32 gig. He pretty much loves his new toy (maybe a little too much... he's not very good at holding a conversation when he's playing with it, which happens a lot, so hopefully he'll either get better at doing/thinking about two things at once, or learn to put the toy down when someone's talking to him) and I have to agree with him, it's pretty handy. Unfortunately our memory card from our camara malfuntioned, so our pictures from this awesome night are gone... but you can use your imagination. :)
