Feeling Famous

Now that our new adventure in Plymouth, Minnesota has begun, I am excited that I have found the job I have been wanting! You can call me "Famous Mary Rose," because I am now a part of the Famous Dave's team! I am way excited! With all the history Adam and I have there - I think it is the perfect place for me to work! Anyway, I am excited to be working again at a fun job!

Woo Woo

Adam is officially the BIG 26!! (As of yesterday!)
It is late... so more updates on our exciting day tomorrow!

BROTHERS!

Ok... So I met 5 of Adam's half brothers last night! Talk about wierd! Some of them don't look hardly anything like Adam, but a couple of them look a lot like him and have a lot of the same mannarisms! And the freakiest thing is that they all kept telling me that the one most like him wasn't even there! "Oh, you just wait until you meet Phillip!"

AND to make the night even more exciting... I met a real life polygamist! I met the first wife! CRAZY!! She was quite odd, and I didn't realize until after we left that she still lives on the ranch! I think if I did know I would have watched what I said a little bit more, but she didn't seem bothered by any of it, so I think it was ok!

I was going to take a picture for all of you, but the one that looked most like Adam left eariest and I didn't get the picture taken in time. Next time I meet them though... There WILL be pictures taken!

Its been a while!

Hello there! I don't know if anyone has even looked to see if we have posted anything since we have been in Vegas, but if you have... Sorry for being neglectful! Life here has been pretty crazy lately and I can never seem to get any pictures to upload!

It is so HOT here, but we absolutely love it! Once it gets over 100 degrees, its all the same anyway, right? The heat gives Adam motivation to get inside people's houses, which is always good!

Well better get back to work! I'll post pictures soon!

A Comonplace Book

On the last day of my English class this semester my teacher told us about the neatest thing! It is called a commonplace book. We had been talking about keeping different kinds of journals and she educated us about this book.

As it turns out, sometime in history, men used to carry around these little black books in their pockets. They were called commonplace books. Whenever they were in the 'commonplace' and they heard something notable of interest (a quote, joke, anecdote, etc...) they would write it down in their little black book.

Now this idea fascinates me! There are so many things I hear everyday in the 'commonplace' that are notable and I think to myself, "Wow! I really like that, I want to remember that ___!" But I can never seem to remember! So today I have decided that I am going to go to Barnes and Noble and buy myself my own commonplace book to keep in my purse! Or course it will probably be pink or something else girly, but it is the same idea!

A Domestic Craving

So for a couple of days I had been having this craving to me domestic and bake something. Well, yesterday I called my mom and we tried to figure out what it was that I wanted to bake (since I had gone through all my cookbooks and hadn't found anything I wanted). FINALLY, we decided that making 30 Day Bran Muffins would be a good idea.

Well.... I learned a very valuable lesson yesterday... here it is:

Don't bake something you don't have a bowl big enough for!!

Yes. I am feeling very stupid. About halfway through my baking fiasco I realized that my biggest bowl was definately not going to be big enough. So I attempted to finish in two bowls and kind of combine them. Well eventually I made it work, but there was a giant mess left behind for me when I was finished.

So I have learned my lesson forever! And I thought anyone reading this would appriciate me passing on my amazing knowledge for the future. :)

The End Is Near

It's official. I only have 2 school days left of this semester! I am so excited! Poor Adam still has a couple weeks, but the end is drawing near for him as well.

Well we found out where we are living for the summer. The apartment complex is called Turtle Creek in Henerson, NV and it looks really nice! The pool is amazing and we are way excited!

We are leaving in less than 3
weeks! Crazy! We are still looking for someone to move into our house and we will have to move all of our stuff to a storage unit. I guess if no one moves in, there will be a place for family to stay when they come visit!
