Well, this week my roommates and I decided to make valentine sugar cookies. We made them on Thursday and Heather came over too. My parents dropped off McKenna and Chase since they were going out to dinner. We made so many cookies and then had to get rid of some of them. We gave some to our neighbors and then I took some to work to get rid of. They were really yummy and looked great.
Anna snacked on cookies and frosting until she made herself sick! Yesterday was my mom's birthday and Valentines day. I spent the day with her. We went to Chase's swim meet at Mountain Crest (which was longer than it should have been) and I was mom's voice since she was officiating. I would get Chase to all of his events and then I would stand at the end of his lane and cheer him on. He had been sick all week, and you could tell that he was quickly getting tired, but he did great and even dropped time. His last event he took 1st place in and dropped a lot of time. He did really great! Then we were so hungry that we couldn't even make it out of Hyrum and had to stop at McDonalds to get something to eat. Then we went to run a couple of errands. Chase had coupons for free Great Harvest giant cookies, so we stopped to get those. I also got to try a slice of Chocolate Chip Cherry bread, it tasted like a really rich and delicious cake! Then we made a special stop for me!!!! This is what I got:
I have been taking a sewing class at the university and I have found a greater love of sewing! I got a sewing machine for Christmas when I was 13 or 14, but it is very limited in what it can do, and I don't think it is lasting very well. I had originally decided to get a mechanical sewing machine like the one that I am using at Utah State, but when I called to get a price, they told me about another machine that was the same price and could do more. So we stopped into Stylish Fabrics to check it out. It is really cool! I love it. It will do letters, some really cool decorative stitches and when you select a stitch all you have to do is type in the stitch number and the machine sets everything for you!!!! It is so cool. So McKenna, Chase, and I played around with it last night and Chase has decided it is his new favorite "video game". This was the most money I have ever spent on myself, but I had the money saved up and I have some awesome patterns, so I hope to be making some new clothes! My mom also wants to borrow it from me! Something else was exciting yesterday. Chelsea, me, and her friend Shalese decided to go to an Il Divo concert! We are going to fly down to Pheonix the day before, then maybe check something out before the concert and then go to the concert and then come home the next morning. We booked our concert tickets and our hotel yesterday, so now I can really start to get excited.
They have beautiful voices and they are good looking! I am really looking forward to this trip! I have added a couple of links in "My Favorite Things" on the right hand side of my blog that is a couple of songs they do. If you want to check it out, just click on the link and enjoy!
