School started last week ending my blissful summer of freedom. Though it's been challenging, it feels good to be stretching myself and getting an education.
A few weeks ago, I was approached at church by someone who writes a food article for a local newspaper. She asked if Lance & I would be willing to be interviewed for her article. It was fun to answer the questions and share some recipes. If you're curious about the end result, click here.
One of our more recent food conquests entailed homemade lasagna. We're talking everything, including the noodles, from scratch. In my mind it didn't seem terribly complicated. In the end we decided that despite it tasting absolutely delicious, it is very time consuming, and we'd be perfectly content with store bought noodles in the future.
Our last bit of travel involved an impromptu camping trip with Lance's brother. We drove to Iron Mine campground in the Ashley National Forest for an overnighter. It was fun to be outside around the campfire indulging in one of my all time favorite summer treats, s'mores.
We've made some changes in our kitchen. Our upper cabinets have been sanded, painted and hardwared. (Technically not a word, but fits) The lower cabinets are en-route to a similar fate. With school in full swing, it has been tough to stay motivated, but we are determined to conquer.
This past date night we decided to take a ride on the Heber Creeper. It was a perfect night for a train ride. The temperature was ideal, the sky blue and the company unbeatable. The 90-min rail ride took us around the side of Deer Creek Reservoir and back. We highly recommend it for anyone who's never been on a train ride before. Totally worth the drive and cost of a ticket!
And so that sums up what we've been up to of late. Life continues on, and what a great adventure it is!
