Shirts and BYU

Mike is a huge BYU football fan! I'm a fan of them also, but a little more calm (sometimes). We went to BYU campus to get ourselves matching shirts to wear when we watch the game. CUTE!

As of today BYU is 1-2...not good. We hope that they will get their game together. They have some good plays and moments, but need to be consistent. I think they'll be able to pull it off as long as they keep working together.

Still Together

It's the beginning of August and Mike and I are still together. Things have been going well for us and we are happy being with each other.

Sarah hosted a Midland Reunion at her place. We had a nice bar-b-que, which was yummy. It was fun to see all the my friends from back home in Texas. Yeehaw!!!

Ice-cream Cookie Sandwich

July was a perfect month for this cool treat!

Ice-cream Cookie Sandwich

1 pkg uncooked cookie dough
Ice cream, any flavor
Mini chocolate chips or sprinkles

Bake cookies per instructions. Let cool completely. Scoop ice cream between two cookies. Roll edge in mini chocolate chips or sprinkles. Serve or wrap up and freeze.

I had intentionally intended to bake my own homemade cookies, but decided against it when the time came for making the treat. I think that using the packaged cookie dough worked best for this recipe because my cookie recipe comes out puffy and soft. These cookies came out a little more flat and crispy. The crispy is important because you don't want your cookie to get soggy from the ice cream. I made vanilla and strawberry ice cream cookies.

Wendy's Visit

Not only did I get a visit from my friend Julie, but I also got a visit from my sister Wendy. It was so fun to have her here for almost 2 weeks. I'm so happy David let her come while he took care of the 5 kids!

We did a lot of hanging out and eating. I also introduced Wendy to my favorite TV show, Psych. While I was at work, Wendy would visit her old roommates and mission companions. Wendy also spend time with Rynell and her kids.

One day we went to spend a morning at Temple Square.



It was neat to see all the changes that have been made. We took a tour of the new conference center. I've been in there a couple of times for some meetings, so it was nice to see some of the other things they had in the building. The grounds are very nice and peaceful.



I love my sister and am thankful for all the times we get to spend with each other.

Julie's Visit

At the end of July I had a surprise visit from one of my amazing friends, Julie. I've been able to visit her a couple of times in England and now I had the chance to have her at my place and spend a fun day together.

We had a lazy morning and laid out at the pool. Then we ate at Cafe Rio for lunch before heading to BYU campus to reminisce about the good old college days. There were lots of great memories!

Finally we went to Bridal Veil falls to enjoy the beautiful weather. We came back to my place afterward and I introduced Julie to my favorite TV show, Psych. Mike came by so I could introduce Julie to him and by the time we finished visiting, it was time to take Julie to her next destination and we said our goodbyes.

I hope to be in England again someday. It's always fun to be with Julie!
