New callings....

Since me and Joe are just sooooo hip and exciting, we are now members of the Activities Committee! :) Parties, parties, parties here we come.

WORLD'S hottest chili???....

So our ward had a chili cookoff this evening. Joe really wanted to win the award for hottest chili, so he searched high and low.....or maybe just google..... for some hotcha chacha chili. And apparently he found some! It was a beautiful combination of Anaheim, jalapeno, and habanero peppers, followed up with some hot sauce, onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and chili powder. It surprisingly has really good flavor, and may or may not have made us cough when we ate it. :)



Joe is very proud of his chili trophy :)

Halloween!

So let's just pretend that I have updated this blog every week for the past month and a half. It will just be soooooo much easier if you all will just forgive me for my lack of blogging :).

So this year our ward was having a Halloween party that included a costume contest. Me and Joe wanted to come up with something awesome, so let's just say I caught me a big ol' buck for Halloween. : )

Who would have thought that I would enjoy doing laundry so much?!? :)

Ugly ducklings no more....

So when we bought our dining table and chairs before we got married, the chair seats were......let's say..... disgusting, gross, nasty, blah, ewwww, vomit, etc. (the list could go on and on). But we got the set for such a steal that we figured we would just refinish the seats soon. Well, turns out "soon" in our world is 6 months later. I found this fabric at Walmart and fell in love. It took a wee bit of convincing to get Joe to let me get it, cuz let's face it, $8.00 a yard isn't exactly his idea of a cheap fix. Buuuuut.... the great husband he is, he finally gave in and went with me to get my dream fabric. Even better, this morning he refinished all 4 chairs!! (He's my hero). They look soooooo much better! (I took a close up of the "before" as well, but decided not to post it due to the fact that I didn't want to cause any of my readers stomach problems. You would thank me) :)
