Feeling like a rockstar

This has been such a good week. On Wednesday night I did the open mic night for HumorU and totally rocked it! I was super nervous my jokes wouldn't go over well, so I went into it just hoping someone would laugh. And they did! The guys in the club especially enjoyed the aside I made about my husband ("He thinks he's some sort of comedian or something"). (For those who don't know, my husband is in the club, and he's adorable. Here's some videos of him.) So that was really good. I mean, it wasn't perfect. No one really got my pizza delivery guy joke, but that's ok. I was one vote away from getting a callback! That's definitely better than I expected!

Then when I finished and printed out my statistics homework last night (more than 12 hours before it was due, I'll have you know), Kyle just stood in awe that I could create and understand equations that he couldn't even read! That made me feel super smart :)

This morning I got my stats homework back from last week and I got 100%! (The average in my lab was 70%.) I'm totally rocking my hardest class!

What a way to go into a weekend :D

First day of school!

Thanks to my mother, I'm continuing the tradition of first-day-of-school pictures. Even if we were late, we'd be outside in the chill California air getting photos with our new school outfits. This year was no exception--except that we weren't late and are too poor for new outfits.

Here's Kyle:



and Katie:




Yay school!

So this isn't exactly from a year ago but it's close enough.

One year later, ward camping trip and hike to a waterfall.


Boy, we look older.

Dear Husband,

I wish you had a Facebook so I could stalk you. Happy two months :)

Love, your Wife

Happy anniversary of our first kiss!

Kyle played hookie from work today so we could spend some quality time together. I didn't realize how much I missed him until today. It was a strange realization because we spend lots of time together, but usually we're with other couples or shopping or making dinner or watching a movie, so there's not much chance to just hug.

We walked to the library to pick up Hitch and lots of Muppet movies, then we changed into swimsuits to go swimming.

Unfortunately the pool was closed (these are our sad faces),

so we went home and watched The Point and ate food while I worked on thank you cards. We also watched Muppets from Space and played on the piano together. Finally, our day ended with a walk. I like hookie days :)

Love and Nerf guns

Today was the silliest day Kyle and I have had in a long time. We slept in this morning to recover from late night party-ing, had a nice breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and jarred pears (our favorite), and then he started playing piano while I cleaned up breakfast.

Soon thereafter, I grabbed both the nerf guns we got as wedding gifts (thanks Jeremy and Keri!) and the fight began! After pelting him with suction cups, I gave him his gun to even out the fight. He barricaded himself in the living room and I huddled behind the bathroom sink. I don't even know how long we shot at each other, but I definitely had the giggles for most of it. It was fantastic and I decidedly won!

Then a walk to the library to pick up a movie, back home for lunch (ham and cheese sandwiches on yummy italian bread I made yesterday) and movie watching before heading to campus to usher for a dance recital. Then back home for Munchkin and pizza making with T&K that night. Whoo! What a day!

Our first time ushering as a married couple :)

Munchkin!

The pizza was fantastic!

I blog WAY too much about food

I found this yummy recipe when I was perusing Google images of chocolate dipped ice cream. I really want to try it and make it non-vegan. But let's be honest, I'm just looking forward to the sprinkles :)
