m & m's

"when you're an m&m, remember there might be a large peanut inside you."

mike and i laughed when we saw this commercial a couple of weeks ago.

i think i really do have a large peanut inside me.

ice cream making for rookies.

our ice cream experience was a little disastrous...M&M are definitely NOT ice cream making pro's yet (for more details, you may read the full story on my blog by clicking here). we wouldn't have survived and succeeded if it weren't for the help of the mommers! so, thank you for taking all of our crazy calls and questions. because of your wonderful tips, we enjoyed a delectable, delicious, savory, yummy treat!

let's just say, we were more than satisfied.

FINE, you can all come to utah so we can share our ice cream with you...

p.s. next stop: great grandma's homemade vanilla recipe.

A Wonderful Day.....

Ok, so I am trying to figure out this blogging stuff and found this picture and decided to try and post it as I have been wanting to post some pics and stuff about our family visiting us last Thanksgiving and Christmas. So please forgive this being out of chronological order. It takes us awhile to catch on to this technology stuff. This picture was taken Friday, December 28. We went into Berkeley to Anthropologies and to the Crate and Barrell Outlet, just to look around. We then went into San Francisco and had a late lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. It was very cold, but very Christmasy at Union Square. This was taken there as we headed back to our car. We then drove down Lombard Street, which Mike has been wanting to do. Afterwards we went and spent some time shopping in Chinatown, which was really a blast. In spite of cold and somewhat rainy weather, we had a terrific time with M&M and appreciated them being here with us old folks. We can't wait to have them and their new baby with us this summer!! Thanks M&M, we love you!

I HAVE A FUTURE!

I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true. This week I officially signed my offer letter from Deloitte & Touche, LLP and called the other firms to tell them no which was not an easy task for me, but they were all really cool about it. Now, it is not officially a future. There is still a chance that I screw things up very badly during my internship and don't get an offer for a full-time position, that would be pretty bad. But as long as I don't do that, I think I'm in. The other possible scenario is that I being an auditor (not an uncommon feeling). But, at least for now, I have a future. Congratulations to me.

Gettin' in to the Christmas Spirit

It's Christmas Time!!! I love Christmas, especially this year since I'm so burnt out on school this semester. To help get in the mood of the holidays we got a Christmas tree and some lights and they look awesome this year. Last year was our first tree and our first time decorating a tree without the help of our more knowledgeable and experienced parentals. Let's just say, it looked pretty ridiculous. This year, I think we figured it out a little more. Probably since Marci is a college graduate she can now decorate a tree. Here's some pics so you can enjoy our newest masterpiece. It's in our front room right by the door and in front of the window so you can see it from outside. Enjoy!

Check out these moves Marci and I have been practicing
