Our Recent Projects






The first thing I would like to show off is Jarom and mine stained glass projects. We have both been working on separate pieces, I wonder if you can guess whose is whose. Ü

Such a pretty heart

Such a mean looking DECEPTICON


The second thing, is finally what you have been long awaiting! Pictures of our car! After two weeks of trying to get it legal to drive, we are finally there. Some of the interesting road bumps along the way are as follows:

-Had to get new tires, but got a steal of a deal (so shiny...)


-Had to pass safety and emissions, but found out there were a couple crucial things out of place before it could pass: namely, the catalytic converter had been removed and must be replaced, as well as the DMV typed in our VIN number wrong on the title. Unfortunately, people aren't inclined to pass off your car in the title VIN doesn't match the car's VIN. So we had to wait for the new bad title to be mailed to us so we could bring it back to get a new good title mailed to us.
-Get a new battery
-Get $200 back from the guy we bought it from
-Buy a lock and key gas cap...Notice the cover is missing.....After the ingenious try on Jarom's part to hot glue the hinge on and use magnets to keep it closed while driving. (We think it is too hot outside so it melted the hot glue, which tends to melt at hot temperatures, and it fell off while we were driving)
-And finally! Get it registered and insured! Luckily, we can truthfully sign our lives away that we do not drink or smoke, so we get a pretty good cheap deal on our insurance that other insurance companies can't quite match.

I even drove it to work today for the first time. No more WALKING for GINA. Except to church, to save on gas... I guess.

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...

Cake 2.0

Here is our second attempt at fondant covered, decorated cake. We're still working on getting things smoother looking and stuff. It's a chocolate cake with caramel filling. Unfortunately the caramel didn't turn out quite like it was supposed to. It turned into basically sugar. It's probably because I was lazy and used margarine instead of butter. But it's still sweet and that's what's important right?

Going Away Present

Tomorrow is going to be my last day of work at good old Independent Study. It's kind of sad, but also kind of exciting and scary all at the same time. It's sad because I've been here for so long. This is the longest I've ever had one job, and I have made a lot of really good friends here. It's exciting because I will get to have a lot of time off to do whatever I want during the day! And it's scary because I don't have another job lined up yet. After 6 months of applying and interviewing, I'm still none the better for it. I was lucky enough to have one co-worker who cared enough about me and my departure to give me a going-away present. I don't really know why I'm sharing it with you, but here it is: This is the picture he used as a reference to update mine with: Any resemblance? It took him two days to create this picture. He said I was wise enough to become a General Authority. I told him I would have to be a man for that. So he decided to mak...
