Before June . . .

Here's what happened before the month of June . . . WARNING:  It might be a bunch of random photos.

Jared and I, along with some friends went to Six Flags in Fiesta Texas and had a blast!  Even though the lines were ridiculous and we could only go on a few rides.  We happened to pick a date that all the orchestra, band and choir kids decided to pick as well, so the park was packed.  BUT we still were able to have fun and go on a lot of fun rides (mostly the big attraction rides).

Lately Jared and I have been trying to find good recipes and our cousins invited us over for dinner and they made these wonderful avocado enchiladas, so naturally we had to try them ourselves.  We were very happy they turned out wonderfully.

At the dance studio, there's a period of 6 weeks or so of parties every Friday night.  They're themed parties and my boss has asked that for each party we do a themed line dance.  So to give you an idea for the Disco themed party we did a Hustle line dance, and for the Big Band Starlight party we did a Foxtrot line dance.  But because it takes some time to learn line dances, and I already had a couple up my sleeve from teaching at BYU-Idaho, my boss asked if I would teach some - Jared caught a photo of me teaching - sneaky sneaky!

With all the dancing in the evening  - when Jared gets off work, it makes it tough sometimes when Jared loves to go for walks in the evenings, and by the time I get home it's pretty dark outside (also that I get eaten alive by mosquitoes).  But occasionally we get out for a nice little nature walk with all the trails we have in our area.

Jared found a turtle - we felt bad because there wasn't a lot of water, and the water that was there was kind of really gross : (

it's about time

Once again, I apologize; it has been way too long since I've written.

Here's what Jared and I have been up to lately.

January. . . well let's just say it was a little chilly for Texas :P meaning below 40 degrees.

And by snow, I mean lots of ice and sleet; 

SO MUCH (maybe 1/2 cm), that Austin pretty much shut down.

One thing that is popular in Texas is breakfast tacos 

(same thing as a breakfast burrito - they're really set on the "taco" part)

Jared and I decided to make homemade breakfast tacos!  Tortilla, eggs, cheese, sausage, hashbrown/potatoes and ketchup/hot sauce.  Sooo good.

February was wonderful :)

My work had a party on Valentine's Day, so Jared and I were able to attend and have some fun dancing!

I'm so glad that my work is flexible in letting Jared come and have fun with us.

We found out that my cousin Laurisa and her husband, Joel are expecting :) and I had the privilege of taking their announcement photos!  Super special and a gorgeous day! 

 So our car was getting kind of REALLY dusty and dirty from all the "snow" and rainy weather.  I kept bugging Jared that we needed to get our car washed.  He kindly searched for a car wash in town and we found this place, BUT it only took cash and we didn't have enough on us . . . Cost was $6 but it only took $1 bills and $5 bills . . . we had a $10 bill.  Luckily I kept a stash of quarters in our car (about $7 worth) . . .

Good thing no one was behind us in line, because we took FOREVER getting all 24 quarters into the machine . . . we had a good laugh!  On the positive side, our car was nice and clean - well sort of . . .

In later adventures, I participated in my work's dance showcase.  I competed in several dances (Waltz, East Coast Swing, Hustle and West Coast Swing) with a student who ended up taking first place in his division!  Super fun!

Jared was able to join me and was so wonderful to take photos and be there with me through the day!

Oh and on a side note, I made this dress :)
