The Bike...

As you may know, about a month ago some jerk stole David's bike right out of our backyard--in midday! Cut the lock and everything...while we were home! The nerve. Well, I am proud to report, that the same dummie that stole it later left it on the side of a major road to rot. The sherriff picked it up and called David to come get it. This time we bought an amazing lock! We were glad to get the bike back, but honestly, we were more sad that the mean bike stealer didn't get busted!

One Year Older and Wiser too...

Some friends and I threw David a surprise birthday party for his 25th birthday! It was a blast. David’s friend Reed took him out before and when he came back, our tiny house was crowded with two dozen people. It was fun, and David never even saw it coming. We had family and friends, and best of all good food! Here is David with his pile of presents, looking thrilled as always.

Baking in Boise

I bake incessantly out of boredom. It's great. I love bread. I think it’s the greatest thing next to, well…sliced bread. I could eat it all day! And, since I was given the most amazing appliance ever created by man (a kitchenaid) for my wedding, I make a lotta bread. I’m still getting good, so we’ll call these experiments, but I was still dang proud! I made homemade French bread, which David loved. I thought it was okay. But what’s way better than that, was that tonight David and I made our first ever attempt at “Lambert’s Rolls.” If you’ve ever been to Lambert’s and had their rolls, you know how amazing they are. If not, I feel bad for you, I really do. Because you’re missing out on quite possibly the best rolls known to man. So, I did a little research—223 calories per roll. But does that stop us from putting our arms in the air and catching the “throwed rolls” in this classic southern restaurant? No way! (Mine weren’t half as good as the real thing!)

Filthy Lukers!

So, Halloween rolled around, and it was time for the ward Halloween party. David's birthday is on Halloween, and I admit, I was having a little bit of trouble getting into the spirit of the holiday. Even though our yard was decked out with pumpkins and spiderwebs, we had no ideas for costumes! So...we did the only thing we knew how to do. We turned to the only cheap, easy and "fitting" costume we could think of--we were 'Filthy Lukers'. I wish I had better pictures, because our blacked out teeth, tacky accents and trashy demeanor was pretty good. This is a picture of yours truly, taken by me. Because really, how could this costume go completely undocumented?! You can only see my head, but other than the t-shirt that said, 'Filthy Lukers' and the jeans we loaded up with dirt in the church parking lot, our heads were the best part. If you look closely at the picture of David and his physics project, you'll notice left over "dirt" from our night of fun. When all else fails, come up with something that goes along with your last name! It's fun being a Luker...
