Trick Or Treating

Happy Halloween! unfortunately Chris and I don't have a lot going on tonight, this tends to happen when you grow older, get married and don't have any children there is not a lot of things to do for Halloween. I wish that we had children to take Trick Or Treating I love Halloween for that reason only. I guess we will just watch Halloween movies, make Halloween treats, and go to bed.
This last weekend there were so many Halloween events going on. I was part of a Halloween Carnival Thursday, and all day friday which was such a pain to decorate and plan. There were over 2,000 people who came, it was a success. Then all day Saturday and all Saturday night I planned a Halloween party at Chris's parents house which turned out to be one of the best halloween parties I have ever planned and been to. It was so much fun! we planned games like bobbling for apples, donut eating contest, and a costume contest. Best party ever! There were so many people who came to! Anyways, I congratulate any of you who have the opportunity go Trick Or Treating. Take advantage of these wonderful memories.

Changing my Life One Step at a Time

So last night my wonderful husband Chris brought me home some health products from Unicity International where he works, and I have to say that I'm converted from just three of the products that I have had . The company is an MLA company which sells weight loss products. Some of their main products that they sell are called Slim, and Macha, but they also have many more products on their website. I'm not going to lie, I was skeptical about this whole weight loss product. It is hard to sometimes trust those weight loss products but, after taking three of their products just starting last night I feel like they are really the best health product I have had. They not only taste so good, but they make me feel good.

Slim:

Now without artificial flavoring and sweeteners. Drinking Bios Life Slim® two to three times a day before meals trains your body to burn away excess fat forever—without the jitters, hunger, or confusion of weight-loss products or programs—creating a slimmer, more active, more attractive you. *Copied from Unicity International Website

Macha:

Matcha
Matcha is backed by nutritional science and is the first energy drink powered by Chi-Oka Matcha, a superior green tea with 20 times more antioxidants than the açai berry. Carefully selected, all-natural ingredients are best-in-class for:

20 TIMES MORE ANTIOXIDANTS THAN THE ACAI BERRY!!!!!!! LOVE!!!!

Boosting energy
Amplifying mental clarity
Providing antioxidants to strengthen the immune system
Restoring and balancing electrolytes
Increasing metabolism

Lean Complete® Chocolate: THE BEST BREAKFAST SHAKE I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!! SERIOUSLY

Who Has The Best Hot Chocolate In Utah?

So last year Chris and I decided to go to every restaurant or gas station in the Northern Utah area that offers Hot Chocolate. We decided to go to these restaurants because we were on a HUNT to find the BEST hot chocolate and choose which place sells the best Hot Chocolate. So far we have been to these locations: (1) Kneaders (2) The Chocolate (3) Starbucks (4) Maverick (5) I hop (6) Paradise Bakery (7) Zupas (8) Great Harvest (9) McDonalds (10) Coca Bean (11) and Dennys

How is the Hot Chocolate Judged?

The hot chocolate is judged on these four guidelines:
Taste- Does the Hot Chocolate have enough chocolate in it? Does the Hot Chocolate have too much hot chocolate? Out of 10 points
Whipped Cream- Does the whipped cream taste like it came out of the store? Or does it taste like it is home made? Does the hot chocolate come with a lot of whipped cream? Or does it not come with any or little? Based out of 10 points
Temperature-How hot is the Hot Chocolate? does it burn your mouth when you drink it? Is it too cold? Based out of 10 points
Look-Does the Hot Chocolate look like it doesn't taste very good? Or does it look like it looks too good to drink? Out of 10 points
Price- Is the hot chocolate too expensive? Or Is the hot chocolate too cheap? Based out of 10 points

So far Chris and I have judged Dennys as the Best Hot Chocolate in Utah
The second and very close competitor was The Chocolate- The only thing the Hot Chocolate missed was the Whipped Cream part- They didn't hardly have any :(

Starbucks-Tastes like water-Way too hot-Whipped cream taste like it came from a store
Maverick- Their hot chocolate has too much chocolate in it-I can only drink half of it because it is too sweet- they also don't have any whipped cream-you can't have hot chocolate without the whipped cream
Coca Bean-Surprisingly their hot chocolate was gross-it taste like water
McDonalds-Had pretty good hot chocolate but it had a coffee taste to it and not enough chocolate in it (no it was not coffee)

This next year Chris and I will travel to other potential winners of the Hot Chocolate Contest
If anyone has any suggestions feel free to comment! Make sure you describe why the hot chocolate is the best!

An assignment I wish I never had

New Assignment,
My teacher Professor Clarke assigned the class to go out and pay for a strangers food over the weekend and to write about the experience in the blog. As many of you may know, I am married and it would essentially be an awkward situation to buy another mans food. If I were to ask a girl if I could buy her food she would probably start to think that I thought she couldn't pay for her own food. Awkward again. This assignment should only be for the single people who want to pick up on chicks or guys, It's perfect of them! not an old married couple like myself. So I started to think, how can I make this assignment not so weird? then, I thought, why don't I buy a dessert for a stranger anomalously so they don't know who gave it to them. Great idea, that way both people involved don't have to feel weird about the situation. At first, I wanted to find an old couple at some random restaurant that my husband and I went to and would pay for their dessert when leaving. Humm... great idea. days later I forgot about the assignment. Coming up on Saturday Chris and I wanted to go to the gateway mall in Salt Lake City, there we shopped, and went to Tucanos. It was at Tucanos I remembered that I needed to do this assignment. Fortunately for me there were 2 wedding reception lunch-eons going on at the same time we were there. So I decided to buy the wedding couple a slice of cake before we left. The end

Families are Forever

This last weekend Chris and I got to experience a sealing between my cousin Aubrey, her husband Nic, and their cute little son Dominic at the Manti Temple. It was such a wonderful experience to be their and to share those memories with them. It is such a great feeling to see them get sealed for time and all eternity. I'm so proud of them to make that decision. They looked so beautiful. The Manti Temple was amazing! And now I love that temple. It looks so historic, and beautiful. What a wonderful thing to do over the weekend.
Chris and I are going to look at houses this weekend with our realtor, we are so excited to see some houses! I can't wait until we are able to start a family together. Every time I go shopping all I want to do is look at baby clothes and buy them, but I'm not pregnant so I can't :( Hopefully soon I will be :)

Life and Everything In It

This last weekend Chris and I spent time over at "The Dayley's" residence. It was lots of fun! Chris and I spent the night, which followed by conference in the morning, and halloween treats in the evening. I got to spend time with my best friend Katie Perez Saturday night while the men went to Priesthood Meeting. Katie and I went to "Awful Waffle" YUMM!, the mall, and to our favorite cupcake place the "Cocoa Bean." I love being with Katie we have so many good chats and talks about life. I'm so grateful to have such wonderful friends.
My new favorite obsession lately is Pinterest, seriously the best thing ever! I can spend hours on that site looking for new recipes and new craft ideas. Soon after school starts to slow down again I'm going to make a gum ball machine to put in our apt. Chris and I found the perfect house yesterday by our relator, and the perfect price. I can't wait to go see it, I'm so excited. I want to move in right now! I just love when life comes together the way you have always planned. I'm so blessed.
