Pizza and goggles

So Tyler and I decided to bust out our pizza stone for the first time the other day. Apparently it is a little like a dutch oven in that you have to rub it with cooking oil and then it seasons while it is in the oven before you can put pizza dough on it. So by the time it was ready to put the dough on the smoke was pretty strong and our apartment is pretty small so there was no real way to get away from it. But being near the oven was almost impossible. So in order to get the pizza on the stone without our eyes burning out of our heads we decided to put on our swimming goggles. :) It actually was mostly better once we had them on so we just kept them on for most of the night while the smoke was still in the apartment. It was great. Here is a picture of us with our pizza and goggles.
Just an added note. We also did not have any blinds yet for the windows behind us which go out into the parking lot so we were able to show off our fashion statement for all to see. Also great. :)

Trip to Boston

Well, we finally made it here to Boston. Other than the fact that we get hopelessly lost when trying to drive anywhere we really like it here so far. Tyler is enjoying school and I am about to be employed (hurray! :). Here are some pictures from our trip from Mesa, AZ to Boston. We will post pictures of our new place soon. :)

My brother Cameron and his wife Hillary were so kind as to come with us and actually drive the Penske truck. This is all of us in front of the temple in Nauvoo.


The trees in Nauvoo were actually hollow so Tyler decided to climb inside. It was hilarious.




We stayed with our friends Ryan and Sarah who live in Washington DC now. They were kind enough to let us stay with them and even bought us the most amazing cupcakes. :)

The toll roads along the way up the east coast were killer especially with the truck, yuck!

Boston, finally within sight!


We actually unloaded most of our things through the window. It was great.


After we got unpacked we went to NYC for a day with Cam and Hillary. These pictures are from Times Square and Central Park.

Finally, before Cam and Hillary left we got to go to a Patriots game where they got creamed. It was fun. :)
