old man

So I've jumped on the band-wagon like everyone else in the world and trying to go green. Not so much green, but more healthy. We're drinking drinks with spinach in them, watching our soda intake and trying to work out.

I recently thought it'd be a good idea for us to start taking multi-vitamins- so every morning I put out little fun concoctions for Jory and I to take. He just loves it. : )
A lot of the time says he "forgets" to take his pills that I so-motherly put out for him. But I really don't think he does. Shh.

Last week after another accusation of "forgetting pills" Jory asked, "what the heck are you even making me take?"- while opening the cupboard, and then asked...

Jory- "50+"?
Sarah- "Yeah, like there's 50 different types of vitamins in it."
Jory- "OR... it's for guys 50 and older??"
Sarah- "Haha, oh, or it could be that."

Ohhh what we put our men through.
He's still taking his 50 + pills...

a lovers getaway

I think we're starting a tradition.

Every Valentine's Day weekend me and Jory like to go on a "getaway" at least an hour away (this is only our second time, mind you). Somewhere where we don't normally go- somewhere over night- and maybe something a little awkward.

Last year we went to Lava Hot Springs and stayed in the most funny, animal infested, bed and breakfast. It was allergic and awkward and so much fun!

SOOO this Valentines we went to... the huge, the glorious... MANTI!

We turned off our cell phones to take away distractions and held hands like newly weds everywhere we went.

The weekend consisted of greasy burgers at a drive-in with the most comforting fireplace I've ever stood by. We went to the temple- it just amazes me how beautiful those are inside! It was gorgeous. Our hotel was room- was old. The Manti House Inn was originally built in 1888 so if that tells you anything about how modern, classy, or new it was- it wasn't. But the lace draped everywhere and oversized jetted tub made it all worth it!

After a dinner that wasn't a drive-in or lotsa motsa pizza (miraculously!) we took a walk where we ended up laughing our guts out on a teeter-totter.

I never forget how much I love my husband, but some weekends it becomes more apparent.

teevee

Some may say that we have a t.v. from 1985. (it actually has been said.)

But not anymore!

Jordon (my brother) got a hd 50 inch(ish?) t.v. from the beautiful ksl for free-the t.v. didn't work. It would turn on, then turn right back off again. Jory and Jay being the machos that they are, thought that they could put their brains together and make that big ol thing work.

So, about a month ago- they diagnosed it, then bought some parts on amazon (for thirty bucks) including, a soldering kit and some computer chip things that I really have no idea what they are.
The parts came, and the soldering kit stunk- so that awesomely huge t.v. started making a home for itself in our kitchen, collecting dust.

UNTIL ... dun dun dun. Last weekend. Jay brought over a super duper soldering kit and we- no no, I did nothing in this, THEY, got working.
They literally melted off melted, sucked it out, replaced computer chips and melted metal back in to secure them. It was pretty crazy and I honestly have been pretty impressed.

sooo cute when they concentrate


So, motherboard put back into place, wires clamped, and screws tightened... here's what happened next.
We seriously weren't expecting anything to happen.

Now it sits where it belongs and I have my kitchen back. Technically I really don't have my kitchen back, now in the teevees spot is taken over by the most adorable baby bunnies you've ever seen. Despite what Jory thinks I couldn't be happier thy're in the kitchen and really, I wish they were in our room- but don't tell him that I said that. )
