Odds and Ends.

So, this week was one of those weeks.

Yep, thats right. It has been one of those weeks where you just feel like you are on fire by Friday. {in a good way} Robert and I are unemployed! {in a good way}. Last week my Anatomy professor asked me to be a TA in the Winter, and to do that I need to be a volunteer TA for BIO 264. Am I completely stoked? YES! Robert is now a Biology research volunteer for a professor here on campus, and loving it.{In case you didn't catch on, we really like the volunteer title} Last time I checked they were doing some DNA extracting with some random, un-heard {he begs to differ} of animal. It's been that week when my phone completely breaks. {in a good way}. I have become a much better planner, considering by the end of the day Robert has to know where to find me so I have a way to get home. I also get to spend that much more time with Robert so I don't get lost {because I am one of those kinds of people}. I also get to spend more time with him so I can use his cell phone {the only means of communication I have with others}. In other words, no complaints here; phones break away! I also aced both my exams and I am just feeling good. Yep, it was an {on fire} week.

In celebration of having one of those weeks, I decided to be adventurous! Robert was being all studious, and I just felt like doing something else. If you recall from this post, we are rolling in the produce, mostly zuchinni and figs. I decided it was about time I use them in a big batch {not together}.

First, I made broiled figs with rosemary cream cheese:

Second, I made zucchini bread. I got the recipe off  this new-found cooking blog. I tried to health-ify it, but it didn't work out so well, considering I don't have a wheat grinder, or agave nectar. {oh the things I took for granted when I lived at home}. I haven't tried it yet, but Robert just did. His eyes got really big, so I am making an inference that it is the best thing he has ever put in his mouth.

To cap off my {on fire} week. I found this little gem:

The newest from Andrew Belle. Best.Thing.Ever.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Last week my Religion professor showed us the following video: {you don't need to watch it all if you are too disturbed, I sure was}



The whole time we were watching it I couldn't help but think of our prophet, from whom we will be hearing this weekend. The world has become.....need less to say, an interesting place. I couldn't be more grateful for the knowledge that I have of the following:



I hope all found this as enlightening/disturbing as I did. {it feels weird saying that}

Happy General Conference watching. :)

Bubbly

First off, my best friend in the whole entire world {besides Robert} got her mission call!

Not the best picture, but she was helping me get ready for my wedding!

Miss Sarah Childs is going to serve the people of Japan! More specifically the Kobe, Japan Mission. I am so excited for her! We grew up together and almost everything in my growing up years {from 10+} I associate with Sarah. She is the most amazing girl ever, and I couldn't have asked for a better friend to have. Sounds cheesy, but she definitely helped me become who I am today. I love you Sarah!! 

As for life in Idaho; it's pretty exciting. Okay, let's be honest, not really. We are doing are best though to live an exciting life. We are at the school from 4 am to 5:30 pm and go to bed two hours later {well, try to}, so there isn't too much time for going out on the town. Hence my excitement for Fridays in this post.

On Friday Robert and I took our date night to the local Farmer's Market. For a small town, I am very impressed by the quality.

We got this drink, Bubbly {yes, that is what it is actually called}. It had these awesome little juice gels at the bottom of the drink that made you look incredibly awkward when you tried to pop them in your mouth. Our entree? Um, not sure actually. It was a food from a Philippino stand, but it was go-oo-od.
We decided to share a meal because I am probably the most gullible person, ever {besides my mother}; we left the market with fresh basil, apples, beef jerky and fresh salsa. It was all so good I couldn't resist, and it has been completely worth it. I'm pretty sure Robert will probably finish off the salsa by the end of the day. {So he spent the last hour in the kitchen making more of his own}

The rest of life is good as well. Everyday it seems like the Lord blesses Robert and I just a little bit more.
