Valentine's Day 2011

Just in case you all were not aware, Tabitha Weed is married to a stud-muffin. Behind all those brains is a pretty steamy young man! For Valentine's day we went on a hot date, compliments of Events Management (Ron and Kaeli- thanks a ton!). We went to Big Band Night! They had live music from the BYU Synthesis band, and Singers that they auditioned. We also were treated to a lovely dinner (I looved the chicken cordon bleu) and they had a skit they performed and music. It was a very well put together night, and we had tons of fun.

We even goofed off a bit between dancing....we only danced the slow songs, we're not very good at the fast dance swing that everyone else was dancing, but it was sure fun to watch! One of my very best friends, Jessica, also got engaged near the end of the night, I even posted the video at the bottom of the post. So romantic! And they make the cutest couple!! Congrats again Jessica and Chris- Marriage is da' Bomb!

On Valentine's day I surprised Jared with our wall in our bedroom covered with hearts- at the top the banner says, " I LOVE JARED" and the hearts lead down to the chair that had his little present and card. I got him twizzlers, one of his very favorite candies. It may sound cheap, but hey- we're college students.
Jared knows how much I love flowers (I used to want to be a florist)- so he got me this lovely bouquet, smelled so good! - and a box of chocolates <3

That night we celebrated Valentine's with Auntie (Jared's great aunt). We ordered her favorite pizza, Brick Oven's Hawaiian pizza (Yuuuummm!) .....and their root beer. We had the pizza then had root beer floats- soo nutritious I know, but it was very fun. Plus, we just adore that woman. Carolyn also came over, which made it even more fun! It's always a good time with family.


Here's the engagement Video....ahhh....Love, True Love! <3<3
Congrats again you two!

Cooking

So this is a post about cooking....as you could probably tell by my creative title. I've been trying to master the basics lately, and trying some new recipes. I've found that I actually really like to cook....and especially like things that smell good when you bake them....some of my favorite smells include bread, roast, and cookies...
This is our wee-little crock pot, that I have recently become best friends with. We especially like to my JoAnn Barnhart style roast in it....but are also discovering other fun things together.

I tried a new recipe here….bread was kind of too salty I thought though….made good garlic bread later though.

As you can see, my counter space includes mostly our table. I was making sticky buns for a FHE with the MacBeths! Very yummy, and fun to share with friends.

This is the most recent yummy I made. Probably the best peanut butter cookie recipe I've every had....not too hard, not too soft, lots of flavor, and chocolate! Funny...this recipe actually came from Jared's old roommate.
I'm discovering that cooking can be fun, especially if someone helps you with the dishes after. Jared is a good sport when it comes to dishes. I don't even have to ask, he just does them!
