Baked Potato Please...

I got home from work a few days ago and I was hungry so I decided to make a baked potato. I washed it off and placed it on a paper towel in the microwave. I put it on for about nine minutes, thinking that was a good amount of time and planning to check on it before the nine minutes were up. I went in the other room to talk to Scott about his day and before I knew it I forgot about my potato. I ran in the kitchen and opened the microwave and this is what I found...

The microwave was filled with smoke and a horrible burnt scent. The smoke covered our kitchen and then into our our living room and through out our house. My poor husband was running around turning off the fire alarm, opening all the doors and windows and doing this...

It has been about four days and our house still smells like smoke even though we have been keeping all the windows open, which makes it quite freezing.

Thanks Scott for dealing with me and all my silly ideas.

Weekend Get Away!

We had the fun opportunity to go to Logan, Utah for the weekend thanks to Mom and Dad Varley!  So we packed our bags picked up Kara and drove the two hours to the beautiful Logan, Utah.  What brought us all together was Mary Kay.  I was excited to find out a little more about Scott's parents business and meet many friends I have heard so much about.  It was lots of fun and the people were awesome... all of them so friendly, kind and funny too!  I am sorry to say, I didn't take many pictures, I need to get better at this.

I wish we had a picture of SuzAnne speaking because she did such an amazing job, she is such an inspiring woman.

Thanks again... 

We Love You MOM AND DAD!

My "Big Puffy Jacket"

It's getting pretty cold here so I pulled out my "big puffy jacket" that keeps me oh so warm.  The only problem is my husband despises it!  If anyone knows my husband he is a cuddly person, his mother says his love language is physical touch, which I would have to agree.  His favorite thing is to be close to me and so "the big puffy jacket" gets in the way.  Moral of the story... he hates the "big puffy jacket".  He says he is going to find a warm jacket that he is still able to cuddle with me in.  But as for now I will continue to wear my "big puffy jacket" because I love it and it sure does keep me warm!

My Husband the Photographer

Scott and his new Holga...

He was so excited when it came in the mail today, he was running around the house giggling.  I am so excited to see the artwork he will create with his new camera.  Thanks Scott for embracing your talents. :)
You can see some of Scott's other work on his website.  He will have Holga pieces soon.

Call To Serve Him

Friday night we went to Scott's Mission Reunion. It was so good to meet all of his friends and companions. Scott was lucky enough to have the BEST Mission President Couple. They were so sweet to come to our sealing and have given us continuous love and support. President and Sister Collins are truly amazing! They gave inspired messages to continue serving the Lord, keeping the commandments, and being obedient. We LOVE you President and Sister Collins!

Elder Sorensen and Elder Spring...

are silly boys...

we sure do love them!

Josh and Austin, thanks for being such great friends to my husband!

These are Scott's companions that were at the reunion, such a great group of guys. You can see the LOVE!

This was the whole group of missionaries. What a fabulous group, who all worked so hard to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for all your hard work and diligence. I LOVE Missionaries and RUSSIA!

THANK YOU President and Sister Collins for such an awesome reunion!
