Chicken Rub, Kraft Dinner, and Canadian Candy

How do you celebrate thirty days of being wed? (At least it was thirty days when the picture was actually taken on July 26th...) Well, Jacob and I celebrate with food. Lots of delicious food!

While we were in Canada we bought some Kraft Dinner at the Walmart. Because who doesn't love Kraft Dinner? Ours was the Alfredo variety. And I was reminded of the Bare Naked Ladies with every bite. We also grilled up some chicken that was rubbed with love. We bought some chicken rub while we were in Seattle at one of the shops near Pikes Market. The corn was given with love by my co-worker and her mother who came to our housewarming party on Friday. It's fresh from Nebraska and grilled with care by Jacob. And for dessert we enjoyed (well mostly enjoyed) trying some candy also brought back from Canada.

Yeah for one successful month! Now just another...eternity...to go!

And here is a bonus picture of me 'cause, well, how cute am I?!? (Kidding)

Bethany said...: Let's face it...you ARE adorable, and I still have your wedding present to send! But I'm going out of state in two weeks and probably won't make it to the post office until I get back...maybe you will get your gift a few months late..(possibly by the time it comes your way) but it IS still coming with love! I miss you! :O); August 4, 2009 at 11:16 AM

Words of Wisdom

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”

-Marjorie Hinckley

"There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second."

-Logan Pearsall Smith

"Sometimes we fill our lives with hobbies or pursuits that produce more immediate rewards. If we aren't careful, we start to resent our children and see them as obstructions to the things that bring us real pleasure. The key is to discover pleasure in our children--to make them central, to genuinely value them during the relatively short time that they are in our home. The day will come that you will be free to spend whole days any way you want-- you can travel, go to school, or go in your room and shut the door. But today, you are a mother."
-Jane (from blog Asking Jane)

"Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these little ones."
-President Gordon B. Hinckley

"Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand."
-Thomas Carlyle
