Happy Birthday Grandma!

Friday night Josh and I met my dad's side of the family at Maddox in Brigham City for dinner to celebrate my grandma's 86th birthday. It was good to catch up with family and see many people I hadn't seen in years!

Baby Blanket

Here is the latest baby blanket and beanie I have made.

Provo 5k

I have decided to run in the Provo 5k on April 4th. It is only 3.1 miles, but spending the $15 to sign up is enough to motivate me to get back into shape. I haven't really been running much this winter because I have a hard time running on a treadmill - it really bores me - and i haven't been able to run outside because it has been FREEZING outside. If anyone else is interested in signing up, go here.

Funny Story

Josh and I have a home teacher that reminds us of Toby from The Office, so we always refer to him as Toby. On Sunday, Josh met with one of the members of the Elder's Quorum Presidency for his PPI (or stewardship interview - whatever it is called now.) As they were chatting, the member of the Elder's Quorum Presidency asked Josh, "So who is your home teacher?" Without thinking Josh automatically replied, "Toby." The guy seemed confused and asked, "What is his last name?" Again, without thinking, Josh replied "Flenderson." Then realizing he had just made a fool of himself, Josh quickly corrected himself by saying, "Oh...I mean Jeff..." Hopefully the member of the Elder's Quorum Presidency doesn't watch The Office.

Rosemary Chicken Couscous

2 cups chicken broth
1 (10 oz) box couscous
1/3 cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 teaspoons rosemary
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 large cooked chicken breasts, cut into bite sizes
1 cucumber, chopped
½ cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
½ cup sliced olives
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
4 teaspoons parsley


Place chicken stock in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in couscous. Remove pan from heat; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork. Cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining the olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar in a bowl and mix until thickens. Stir in rosemary. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Combine the chicken, cucumber, tomatoes and olives in a large bowl. Stir in the couscous, feta cheese, and parsley. Toss the salad with the dressing. Serve cold.
