Have you ever put something in the oven to stay warm, and then promptly forgot about it until the next time you turn on the oven and it burns? Two nights ago, I made pancakes and put the extras in the oven to stay warm. To me, the worst kind of pancakes are the cold ones; they just don't taste like real pancakes!. Anyhow, last night I when I opened the oven to put something else in, my wonderful pancakes were round discs of hardened dough. Ew. So, me, being the sneaky individual that I am, decided to inspect these "pancakes" to see if I could devise and plan worthy of action. I picked one up. It was pretty firm, round (I am getting better at making my pancakes round! Yay!), and was of a decent weight. An idea started forming, and before I could think about it too much, I launched it discus style over the counter towards my husband. And I missed. It hit the side of the couch and rolled away on it's side. The look on Bryan's face was priceless, and in the minute of confusion, I was able to run over and snatch it again. What ensued was a war of the pancakes. We had to clean up a lot of crumbs afterwards. Thank goodness for vacuums!
It was a good evening. (I won!)

Fall is Here!
Fall has officially decided to come with it's bipolar-ness, which I think is exclusive to Utah. Yesterday for example, it was windy and rainy in the morning and bright, warm and sunny in the afternoon. I think the temperature difference was like 30 degrees. Okay, maybe that an exaggeration...but it felt like that! It's like it can't make up it's mind! But all that aside, I love fall. I love wearing jackets and sweaters. I love to watch the leaves change color. Even though fall means that I am in the middle of school, I can't help but admire the beauty of the season. It's when the holidays begin. What could be better than dressing up for Halloween, or stuffing my face with food on Thanksgiving? In Utah, it brings the excitement of waiting for the first snow (at least I enjoy waiting!). In short, I love this time of year.
The last few days have been pretty busy. Last night Bryan and I went grocery shopping. We got lots of good food, but we used the last of our gift cards from our wedding! Sad! I am in the middle of officially changing my major to Public Health. I'm getting really excited for all the classes I get to take. Yesterday, one of my professors came to class wearing a pretty interesting outfit. He wore cream colored khakis, a salmon colored shirt, a brown tie and a mustard colored jacket. Needless to say, it was very hard to concentrate during the lecture. It's interesting what people decide to wear. Ah, well, who knows what goes through the minds of PD Bio professors...

One Saturday Morning...
It's saturday morning and I am at work. Starting a blog sounds like a really good idea at times like these. So, I did. I don't really know where to start, so I guess I will start in the middle and move forward.
I am taking a water aerobics class with my sister, Liz. Before you can ask, no, I'm not pregnant and neither is Liz. I get that question almost every time I tell someone I'm taking it. The last time I was asked, I burst into laughter and my friend was looking at me like I was crazy. And maybe I am. Who knows? Last year, I saw this class from the second floor of the RB. 30 women splashing and bobbing around a swimming pool in time to aerobic music. I thought it was pretty funny and went on my way. Little did I know that in a year, I would be down there with them. When my sister approached me with the idea, I was a little wary. Grace and balance have never been my specialty. But, pushing my reservations aside, I signed up for the class. Now, I have a lot of fun splashing and bobbing as I jog, lift weights, and stretch in the water. I know I look ridiculous, but it makes me exercise (something that never happens unless I have a commitment). I know that I will never make fun of them again, at least they are making an effort to do something. Unlike myself who loves watching movies and cooking.
So, I thought I was going to be able to impress all my friends and family with my excellent prose and wit, but I seem to have failed. Hopefully this won't discourage you from reading further. As a gift, I will give you a picture of who my husband (Bryan) and I really are in real life.
