Has anyone else ever burned their tongue eating ice cream? Or is that just me?

So you know that promise I made to myself last month that I would update our blog more often? Well, obviously I need to rethink that goal and make it more realistic. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks but it’s been a good couple of weeks too. Jason has gotten some of his hours back at work which is good but his schedule is still a little trying sometimes. He still works a lot of late shifts but he’s also had some days off which gives us more time to spend with one another. My schedule at work is still from 8-5 so at least that’s constant. One thing that was nice the month of February, is that we went back to the temple the first time since getting married. We went with Brittany and Clay and tried to just follow them around since they had been to the Mt. Timpanogas temple before. We decided that we need to try and make this a monthly thing now so we went out and bought some temple stickers so that we block that night out of our calendar.

On Valentines Day Jason had to work that morning so I kept myself busy by cleaning the house, especially the kitchen. When he got home he wanted to exchange gift so he gave me Victoria’s Secret lotion and body spray called Berry Kiss…it smells really good! Now I don’t want you to think that he bought me this because I smell bad or anything. It’s just I wanted to know what perfume he liked that I had and said all of them reminded him of food (What’s wrong with that?!). He also took me out for dinner and to Mr. C’s for some gelato, so delicious! My gift to him, or rather for both of us was tickets to see the Utah Jazz. He had already partially guessed that we were going to go to the game because I made sure that he had that night off but I told him that we were going to see Celine Dion in concert. He knew that wasn’t true but still he played it well. When Tuesday rolled around we were excited to finally get to go to the game and he wanted to make sure that I was properly dressed. He bought me a Utah Jazz Jersey so that I looked like I blended in. The game was really good and we won so that was an added bonus. Also, I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else but I think I got freezer burn from eating too much ice cream. We paid $2.50 for a cup of ice cream but it’s like 4 scoops into one bowl and that’s a lot! When I finally got towards the end I could feel that my tongue was burning…It wasn’t pleasant for the next couple of days but it finally healed.

Last Tuesday night was Free IHOP pancake night so of course we’d stop in. We invited Eden to come along with us so we went to pick her up and waited in line for maybe 45 minutes before being seated. They sat us down, handed us a menu and asked what we wanted to drink, we also said water. Then they bring us each a short stack of their buttermilk pancakes and since we didn’t order anything we didn’t receive a receipt. It felt weird just walking out of their without paying, we did leave our waiter a tip despite the fact that he forgot to bring us silverware until we asked for it. And we did leave a donation for the Children’s Miracle Network so we felt like we had paid for a little bit of dinner. After that we somehow found our way back to Mr. C’s for some more gelato, don’t worry I got a smaller size this time so I didn’t burn my tongue again. After that we went back to our place to watch a short movie and then we had to take Eden home.

I finally got to see the new Twilight movie! It came out the night before our wedding and I guess it just wasn’t a priority at the time. It came to the dollar theater so we made plans to see it last Saturday. However, Jason wanted to buy me a bigger purse so that I had more room to fit candy in…also the zipper on my other purse had broken so it was probably time to switch anyway. We made a trip into the Dollar Store and most of their candy had been picked over so we bought a bag of potato chips, beef jerky, and tootsie rolls, yes it was a rather weird combination for me too. Anyway, I thought that the movie was good, it was a lot better than I was expecting. I still don’t think that Robert Pattinson is my ideal Edward but I thought he did a good job. I was a little disappointed that they skipped over a few things that were in the book though, or things that I thought should have been in the movie. So I guess that is the last few weeks in a nutshell…
