I scream you scream we all scream for ICE CREAM!

So when Danny and I got our Kitchenaid, it had a rebate in it for an attatchment-your choice of either a food processor or an ice cream maker. If you were given the option of a free food processor or a free ice cream maker, which would you choose? I think the choice is pretty clear. All we had to do was fill out a little paper and send it with a copy of the receipt and send it in. I filled it out and put it on the table to take to the post office... and it got burried. Then I'd find it and think about how it still had a month to turn in and put it back on the table thinking I'd do it the next week. I found it on Saturday, November 29th at about 10:00 pm, and realized it was due November 30th. Who makes things due on Sunday? Anyways, I took it up anyways, crossing my fingers it would make it in time. After a couple of months I figured I didn't get it in on time and gave up. But it came!!!!

We're going to try it out this weekend... woo hoo! I can't wait. I have to confess something. We have a smaller ice cream maker that some friends gave us when we got married and we LOVE it. It could very possibly be our most used appliance we own. Okay, maybe not. But we do love ice cream! You just freeze the bowls-no ice or salt-pour the mix in and 15020 minutes later you have yummy home made ice cram. It's great. We're excited to try our new one out!!

A great week...

I think I've gotten more done this week than I have in the last month combined, and it's only Monday afternoon! My friend Sharon and I decided to get up early and run at 5:30. When I told my mom I was thinking about doing this she just laughed. I'm typically not a morning person. But we did it today (of course we start right after day-light savings time) and it felt great. Danny has been getting up early to do some homework everyday, and we actually had time to sit down and eat breakfast together. It's great. And on top of that, no work today! It's been so nice. Our apartment is way cleaner than it was, and got a lot of sewing done. I've almost finished my two latest projects. Days off are always nice.
We've had a great last week too. Last week we went to the CDT concert, and our cute niece Kenzie did sooo well! She was beaming the whole time. You couldn't get that smile off of her face for a million dollars. She did such a good job and is a talented little dancer!
Then this friday night we went to Primary Children's for our calling (best calling ever) and decided to go out to eat after. We went to Red Robin on Foothill. The highlight of the night for Danny was that we were an isle away from Kim Tillie, one of the U of U basketball players. It looked like he was there with his gf and family (who are from France, in town to see his last game of the season). Even though we didn't go say hi or good luck it was still fun to see him. And I recommend Red Robin. The service was great and the food was delicious. So if you need anywhere to go out to eat I recommend it! Saturday was nice too because I got to see a bunch of Brighton buddies that I haven't seen in forever.
And can I just say that I love Sundays? It was such a nice one yesterday. Beautiful day too. We had stake conference and listened to some great talks and testimonies because our Stake Presidency was reorganized. Elder Pingree and Elder Wood from the seventy were there as well. They were really neat to listen to. We also got to visit my grandparents (my grandma is very kind and is letting us borrow some organ books and sharing her tips for Danny's new calling...) and she played some songs for us on the piano. We had dinner with my family then watched Superman 2 (the old ones...) with Danny's parents and niece and nephew. What a great movie. Those special effects... amazing.
So those are my ramblings about the past week. It's nice to take breaks from school and work and spend time with family and friends! It was definitely a great week.
