Visitors

The last two weekends were especially fun for us because we had visitors at our apartment! First, Natalie, Kayla, and Kjirsten came from Provo to see us. They were my roommates last year and Rob and I call them "the cousins". . . because they are cousins with each other, not us. And they are some of our very favorite friends! Basically we just watched X-Files all weekend because they brought all the seasons and we love X-Files. Also, we went shopping at DI and blog stalked and made delicious caramel popcorn! We didn't take any pictures, but here is an old one of the 5 of us from last year. We were so happy that they came!!


Then, the next weekend, Lindsey, Kyle, and Kyson came to visit us from Canada, so my parents and Katie came up from Salt Lake as well! We had almost too many delicious meals to fit into one weekend. My mom prepared and brought ingredients for tons of food! She made lots of chicken cordon bleu before she came for Friday night, and brought ingredients for meatloaf and mashed potatoes for Saturday, which was Valentine's Day, and she made mini meatloaf hearts!
She also made lots of heart sugar cookies and brought frosting and candy for decorating! They left on Saturday evening and left us a kitchen full of food and leftovers! (Plus canned food they brought for us, a box of oranges, lots of salad makings and veggies, and almost an entire cheesecake).
We were really excited about the food, as you can imagine, but we were mostly happy to have family visiting. We spent a little time outside, watching Kyson sled with Kyle, and walking around campus while Lindsey and Kyle reminisced. Then, we went to our clubhouse and played pool and ping pong. Later that night, after my parents left, Lindsey and I went to the mall in Idaho Falls to shop. It was a fun weekend and Kyson warmed up to us.

Anyway, since then things have been a little more boring and busy. I started work last week and have been working long hours. Rob has been busy with school and study groups and tests. Nothing too exciting. In conclusion, we like having people come visit us!

Looks like a fun weekend of yummy food. If I were there I would have peeled the potatoes, or have you all acquired that taste now?
