Pumpkin Weekend

So this weekend was Super fun!!! We actually did something other than homework. I was able to get all my homework for the weekend done on Friday. It was awesome. So Friday night we decided we wanted to carve a pumpkin so we went and got one. Obviously when picking out a pumpkin you have to find the perfect one....so I was looking for the roundest, the orangest then my wonderful husband insited we get this green one....because it was different and has character I guess? haha hes so funny, so we ended up getting not the orangest...but it was pretty round. After carving our pumpkin we watched the proposal. I love that movie it is so funny. I laughed so hard even though I have already seen it before. I made a big bowl of pop corn and we just had a great time together!!!

Saturday was another fun day. Of course I woke up early and headed to the gym. When I got home Jordan was still sleeping. He needs his beauty rest. :) Jk we did a little bit of homework and then we went out to Idaho Falls. We walked around the green belt got some lunch and just relaxed. It was a beautiful day. We had stake conference Saturday night as well. After stake conference I decided I was going to make my own pumpkin puree for some pumpkin bread. Now I didn't just randomly decided to make pumpkin puree, I have been wanting to do this for a while. Someone at work told me about a great website. (http://www.thepioneerwoman.com/) and I found that there was a recipe for pumpkin puree and I thought it would be fun to try. Wow its a lot more work than opening a can. Its not really hard cause all you do is roast the pumpkin and puree it. But number 1: I don't have great knifes for cutting pumpkin, and 2: I don't have a food processor so I used a potato masher. I tired using my blender but it was taking forever. So I just put some elbow greece into it and got the job done myself. Let me remind you I didn't start this project until 9pm and I also decided I would make bread and muffins also. I got finished around 11:30. It was a lot of fun, I will probably never do it again...well maybe if someone buys me a food processor (hint Christmas hint) I was actually thinking as I was making the puree "I will never do this again.." But then I tasted the bread and decided once I get better knifes and a food processor I'll do it. I am not sure if it was the bread recipe that was so good of if the fresh pumpkin made it that good? I just love pumpkin bread canned or fresh hands down. It was a fun activity and Jordan loves to eat so it was a win win situation. Oh ya and my kitchen kinda looked like a pumpkin bomb went off!!

I am really excited for Halloween. I don't think because its the holiday that I love, but because that means only 3 weeks until Thanksgiving break, and then three more weeks until the semester is over! This coming weekend my dad and older sister Carole Ann and her husband Jon are flying out to Utah so were gonna go down. I will be taking pictures for sure and will definitely post something after that. I'm trying to be better about posting more often. I look at everyone elses blogs and then I look at mine and its so boring compared to others. So I'm working on it! :)

Enjoy the pictures!

we put a candle in it just for this picture

I would feel bad if I burnt all four apts that are

connected to ours....so we blew it out after we

took the picture.

haha i thought this was funny.

Ended the night with popcorn and the proposal

(Jordan thought it would be cute to have popcorn

in his mouth while I took the picture...)

The beginning of the project....

After they were roasted...the house smelled so

good

getting ready to mash

I decided to freeze the leftovers...i probably wont

do this again for a loooong time!

and let me tell you...they were good

October Is Here!!!

I am so excited that it is already October!! The first month of school has gone by so fast, I hope it doesn't stop!! School is busy busy busy!! Its great though. I actually am enjoying this semester! Last semester I couldn't wait for it to be over. This semester is fun and hard at the same time. My health appraisal class is awesome. I get to have a client and help that person develop an exercise program and help her eat well and hopefully by the end of the project there will be a weight loss. I really like this class because this is actually what I want to do with my major. I want to help people change their life and meet their fitness and nutrition goals!! I get to work one hour a week volunteering in the wellness center on campus where I take peoples blood pressure, body composition, Vo2 max, muscular strength and endurance. Its pretty cool!

Jordan is enjoy the semester also. He is super duper busy! He has a lot of computer classes that he has big projects for. He is super smart so its a breeze for him. Well I don't know if its a breeze but I never hear him say his homework is too hard. So I just assume its easy peezy lemon squeezy. :)

We are very excited for October 23rd because we will get to see my dad, sister, brother, and brother in law down in Utah! That's only like 3 weeks away!! SWEET. I haven't seen my big sister and brother in law since Christmas and she is prego now so I am super happy I get to see her all cute and prego. She is due January 11, 2010 so she has a little more to go but def the cutest pregnant sibling in the Premont family...oh ya she is the only pregnant sibling in the Premont Family.

Well I just wanted to update the blog. I don't have any pictures because nothing has really happened where pictures were necessary. If we do something worth while I will bring the camera and post pictures.

Back to School

Well school has started again. It is going pretty well so far...we have only had two days of class though. I actually really like my heath science classes so far, I'm not too fond of my child development classes, but that's okay. I am still working so the day goes by pretty fast because I just go to school then work. Jordan is enjoying school also. He wasn't able to do his internship this semester because they had already given it so someone who has been working there longer. So this means we will probably have to stay next summer for him to do his internship on campus.

My mom was also here last week. She came to drip Laura off and see us at school. It was great to see her!! I wish the whole family could have come but that's okay. We will see them in December. I pretty much already have a count down until we go home for Christmas. Its also nice to have Laura back at school. We have been going running together every day. Well I guess that was just a quick update of whats happened lately. Nothing too big. Hopefully my mom will send us some pictures of all of us while she was here and I can post them. Until next time....see ya

Happy One Year!

That is Jordan up at the top with his arm raised,
getting ready to jump off.

The happy couple hiking

Jordan suprised me this morning!!

Jordan and I made it, one year down many many many more wonderful years to come! Today is our one year anniversary. I can't believe that one year ago today we were just getting married. The year went by so fast, but so many good memories to think about.

We had a great day, Jordan brought me breakfast in bed, and flowers. Then we went hiking at some cool place, I have no idea where it was but it was so beautiful. We were there for a while enjoying nature and each others company. After that we drove to Idaho falls...made a quick stop at 5 guys to grab a bite for lunch then we went and saw Julie & Julia. It was cute, I'm not sure how much Jordan liked it but he humored me and took me to see it. I want to try to find Julie's blog because the movie was based off of 2 true stories. And I also feel like I need to cook something french with lots of butter. :) After the moive we went and looked around the stores there in IF. We stopped at Michael's and found some cute pictures to put in our frames. We have lived here almost a whole year and just finished decorating! haha at least I finished right?

We were suppose to either go out to a nice finner or come home and make each other a romantic dinner but we are still full from lunch so I don't think that's going to happen. I'm sure I'll be hungry around 10 o'clock and just randomly eat the whole kitchen. :) So that's how today went. It was really nice and I have enjoyed that past 365 + days I have spent with my loving husband! Hes the best!!!

On a side note, David came up one day this week and we went to Lava Hot Springs. I haven't been there in probably 10 years. It was a lot of fun, and YES I did jump off one of the platforms...it was only the 1st one but it was still really scary. Jordan and David jumped off all three of them! They are crazy boys with no fear. There was an old guy there doing crazy flips off all the diving boards and plat forms. I was very impressed.

School starts back up in a few weeks. I'm kinda ready but not really. I'm mostly just excited to see my sister and mom when they come out. And the closer that it starts the closer the end of the semester is. Then we can go home for Christmas and only have one semester until graduation! Yay wont that be fun!

Our Little Vacation!

So school is out, and we just got home from vacation. We first went to Salt Lake to see Jordan's sister Dani. That was fun. We just hung out and went out to eat, then we went down to Provo to see my brother David. We hung out with him and went to a yummy BBQ place where David much enjoyed the wings. haha jk we told him to do that (see picture below) We went to Brandon and Michelles wedding on Tuesday and had a great time. Then Wednesday morning bright and early Jordan left to go fishing and camping with his dad and grandpa. I decided to stay in Provo with David and hang out with him and my good friend Anjuli. I slept a lot, ate lots of ice cream, and played! I went to all of David's inter mural games. It was fun but its good to be back home. Jordan and myself just started new jobs yesterday. I'm working in the admissions office and Jordan is doing networking stuff with the computers on campus. It feels good to finally have a job again. well until next time...enjoy the pictures!

Schools Out For Summer!!!!

Yay school is finally over. I feel like these past two weeks I have been a chicken running around with my head cut off. I'm so happy its finally over! What a huge relief! And something even better. I GOT A JOB!! not just working at world gym teaching classes but I will be working in the Admissions office on campus starting in August! Yay isn't that so exciting. On Saturday we are leaving to go down to Utah for a week. That will be fun to get away for a while. I will be taking new pictures so hopefully there will be some good ones to post when I get back.

SIX more days of school!!!

Oh my gosh! School is finally almost over!! WAHOO. I am soo excited! I only have to take 6 tests in 6 days...great! haha thats okay I just keep telling myself one more week and then its over, well at least until September! Only one more day of waking up at 530 to teach aerobics also! But do you want to know something cool, world gym is hiring me as an instructor their starting next week once my internship is over. I will be teaching pump it and spinning. I am excited cause I will actually be getting paid for something. I have been searching for a job and cannot seem to find one yet. I am still waiting to hear back from places. I want one over the seven week break but mostly for the fall semester!

So yesterday we got a fun surprise, Jordan's mom came up to see us for a few days. She has been visiting Utah and family their and took a quick trip up to Rexburg to say hello to her favorite son and favorite daughter-in-law! Shes been fun to have here. We haven't seen her since Christmas time.
