A lot going on

I have been mentally blogging in my head for quite a while, but have had so much going on, it has been hard to find the time to actually get it on my blog. Sadly, I think I have forgotten everything I wanted to blog about. Let's see. Probably the thing that has the least to do with me and what I have been doing is the end of The Amazing Race. Sadly, the cowboys didn't win. They were the most deserving of the win, but I know that they will be fine either way. I have read a lot of people's comments and they were definitely the fan favorites this year. Also, I am not sure if this is true or not, but several people have indicated that the team that did win, cheated by flying first class. Honestly, I don't know enough about the rules to know if they did cheat or didn't, but I do know that the cowboys finished the race with integrity and were kind to everyone all along the way. They are the type of people who really inspire me to be a better person. There are a lot of good people in the world, and it was awesome to see an example of that on the Amazing Race this season.
Anyway, also last weekend, I did a wedding. I was really excited about doing something different than gerbera daisies. The last few weddings I have done are all gerbera daisies. This one was hydrangea and roses. The colors were green and hot pink, and it was really cute. Here are a couple of pictures of the bouquet.
I didn't get pictures of everything I did, but I am glad I have these. I was really happy with how it turned out, and I hope the bride was as well.
After I dropped off the wedding flowers at the Mt Timpanogos Temple, I ran and got groceries and then when Scott got off work we headed down to his parents house to work on their backyard. We took flowers down to his mom as well. After spending the afternoon moving their wood pile and taking down a fence and burning a bunch of remains, we headed back up to my house to do dinner and a movie with my parents and my sister and Malachi. We got one of those family dinners from KFC and we watched Avatar. It was a good time, but a super busy and hectic day. This past week went by really quickly. I can't even think of everything we did, but it felt like it went by extremely quickly.
Oh, I don't know when this was, but we got a new calling. We are members of the activities committee. Usually not a calling I love, but the head of the activities committee are some people from Nephi that Scott knows, so I think we will be fine. It might actually help us to be a little more social and stuff. Did I already write about this? I am starting to think I have. Well, sorry if you have read it before...We still don't love our new ward, but hopefully if we get involved we will enjoy it a bit more.
This weekend, I started my new job (more to come on that later, and yes I kept my other job) at 630 in the morning, which means I had to get up at 530 on a saturday. I got home around noon and changed my clothes and had some lunch. Then when Scott got home from work we got some groceries and ran a couple of errands then headed down to his parents house again to work on the backyard some more. We got A LOT done, and Scott worked his butt off. One of the many things I love about him is his ability to work so hard, and his drive to work as hard as he does, but I was worried about him because of how hard he was working. We dug up some tree roots and cut them to removed the trees. The part that took the longest was getting out an old cement irrigation thing. Don't really know how to explain it, but we had to dig it up and remove roots from around it, and there was a tree that had grown up under and around it so it was really tough to get out. But after we got done, we all felt really productive. I thought I would be sore today, but I am not. Of course Scott is. But it was a good work out.
We are going on vacation in two weeks from today, and I am super excited about that. We are both really ready for a break. To not worry about anything but having a good time for a little while.
