I just found out that I get to be a part of this year's

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert

featuring....





This will be the third year that I get to be a part of this and I am so excited!

Here are some pics from last year's concert


And 1 pic of the year before.
(I'm in it, I swear! Look at the bottom left.)


See, I'm right there!



It is pretty thrilling standing in front of 12,000 people. I can't wait!

I have taken on cooking.

It's sort of tuned into an obsession.


This is my new favorite site to visit.




They have introduced me to Caramel Toffee Dip

and

To Die For Sugar Cookies with Glace Icing (My new favorite activity!)


I'm dying to try

this and this!


They even have this all time favorite!


I have a feeling that this Christmas my house is going to be full of yummy treats!

I just might take special orders.

We've all heard of Bucket Lists. Hopefully, I've got a ways to go before I kick that bucket. So I've decided to put together a 30x30 list. Yup, 30 things to do before I am 30. That gives me a little bit less than 2 years.

1. Have a baby
2. See the Northern Lights
3. Learn to SCUBA dive
4. Hike to the top of Timpanogos
5. Hike to the top of Mount Olympus
6. Run a half marathon
7. Complete a triathlon (sprint!)
8. Go on a vacation...just my mom and me.
9. Do a pull-up. Just 1.
10. Go sky-diving
11. Fit into a size 8
12. See a Broadway show
13. Finally get my AS degree
14. Become a baker...pies, breads, cookies...
15. Get good enough at fly fishing that I can go by myself
16. Lope through the poles
17. Run on a horse around the whole race track
18. Go to the Festival of Colors
19. Backpack into Havasu Falls
20. Learn to knit and/or crochet
21. Learn to play Rachmaninoff's Prelude in c# minor

k, I'm stuck! Any ideas or suggestions? Send them my way!

Sorry 'bout that...
you caught me drooling!

I can't believe it has taken me this long
to discover the deliciousness that is




The Hot Dog Haus




Swiss cheese, hot dog, yellow mustard, Art-full Sauce (Sweet and spicy heaven), onions, sauerkraut, and sweet red peppers, all on the best hot dog bun ever.

I know that some of you just pulled an oh-my-gosh-she-eats-that face, but they have boring stuff to put on it too...My grandma says their chili is divine!

So, the next time you find yourself in Heber...give me a jingle and we'll go.
(You know you want to!!)

What could be better then a
homemade cinnamon roll
&
hot apple cider
for breakfast on a
chilly, drizzly
autumn Heber morning?

I've always regretted not having bridals taken,
so, eight years (and 20 lbs.) later.....

...here are some of my favorites...














Thanks to my good friend, April, from Delamare Photography for taking such beautiful pictures!
