Too Busy!!

Well, it has been a little bit since either of us has posted. I thought I'd write something while Jordan was still at school.

Last week we were invited to have dinner at the Peterson's house for the first time. We were nervous to make a good impression. We had a wonderful dinner. Adrienne is so creative with her food and seems to take lucky risks in things. We had coconut chicken, mango rice, salad and homemade bread. Then after dinner she pulled out this amazing lemon mereanguey (I don't really know what it was, but it was DELICIOUS!) thing. After that we tried to play a game that, it seemed Bryant had been dying to play, and we finally got to one round after Adrienne and I shut up for a few moments. We had some really funny laughs:
*wiggles toes* "They look like your teeth!"
"It's time for your shot!"
"I want the leaves to look like that over there!"

Also, a couple of weeks ago we went and had dinner with our friends, the Kostechkas. They have become our first "couple" friends. That dinner was really good too. Justine made angel hair pasta with chicken and bread with salad. Then we had ice cream topped with berries and sugar. It was so tasty! After we played a game of scrabble which Kyle insisted we play by the rules. He forgot to mention that they were the Kyle Kostechka rules, not the actual game's rules. But it was a great evening and we didn't get home until after 11.
The next morning we had to get up and do surveillance in Cambridge ID. I slept part of the way. This was the first Saturday of conference and we were able to just barely tune in. It was pretty scratchy--but we were listening as best we could. We got home and were able to watch the second session and we only fell asleep for the last 10 minutes or so. We had to get up early in the morning!! On Sunday we were able to wake up and make breakfast (Eggs with toast/cream cheese and strawberries) and watch both sessions. They were truly amazing. We cannot wait to get the Ensign to read them again! There was so much to learn and, even though we are in Boise, and watching through the TV, we knew the spirit was here with us. It was amazing!

This past weekend we had to house sit at Dad and Mama's. It was so nice to watch some movies on their even bigger (I didn't know it was possible) tv. We watched all 3 of The Work and The Glory movies. They were very good and VERY intense. Then we watched the Best 2 Years and we couldn't stop laughing. It was completely hilarious. So in total we watched about 8 hrs of Churchy movies this weekend--helps with building our testimonies :). Good thing too; because on Sunday we got confused and thought we were going to Stake Conference. Turns out is was just good ole' fast Sunday. Because we showed up very late, we decided to go home and fasted/read about the resurection on our own. It was a nice Easter Sunday. Shayla had us over to her house for Easter Dinner. There was a TON of food. The kids enjoyed showing off their presents from the Easter Bunny, and the "adults" enjoyed very good conversation (weird to say adult).

This week we are having the Peterson's over for dinner tomorrow night. We'll be making our "famous" chicken pasta, as well as some bread. I'll also be trying to make some Rocky Road Brownies. We'll see how they turn out. On Friday we are getting together with the Boutiliers and the Kostechka's to play a nice "friendly" game of guitar hero.

I was told to post some pictures of Jordan and I because some people seem to think we are obsessed with our dog! (*cough* Scottie *cough*). So here you go. Pictures of the happy couple:

"He doesn't like his eyes..."

(Jordan didn't want to touch me because he didn't want me to get dirty. What he didn't know is my dress was already dirty underneath from sitting on the train tracks!)
