Chicken Noodle Soup and an Apron

There really is no excuse for the lack of updates here... except that there isn't too much to report.

On conference weekend, Brad and I were feeling very culinarious (is that a word?) and made his mom's famous homemade chicken noodle soup and some yummy homemade rolls to go with it. It was delicious! We even made the noodles (that's the secret ;) Here is Brad right before we ate, I apologize for the bad lighting but it took us longer to make the meal than we expected and it was dark before we ate! But it was well worth the wait.




Saturday was the relief society's Super Saturday activity. There were so many cute things that I wanted to sign up for, but I just limited myself to one and it took the whole 6 hours! I made an apron! The pictures aren't the best, but I think it turned out really cute for being my first sewing project since I made my brothers some pajamas over 6 years ago. I was feeling so ambitious that I even cut out the fabric to make a second... we'll see how long it takes to actually get made!


(Again, ignore the awful lighting)


I made my own bias for the apron... it took forever but added a touch that store bought couldn't have

Other than that, we are both staying busy with work, callings, and Prop 8. In fact, as I type Brad is out delivering yard signs to people that he called earlier tonight and said they are voting Yes and that wanted a sign.

I got a haircut last week, which doesn't exactly sound like "blog-able" news, unless you know me. As Susie can attest to, I am very meticulous and protective of my hair. I was so spoiled having her so close and accessible (and free) for the past two years, and I have been so nervous to look for another hairdresser out here. Well, I found one... and she cut my hair... and I like it! It's not the same as Susie but it will do. Maybe I'll put a picture up next time.

That's it for now!

The chicken soup looks as good as susie's. :) Your apron is super cute! That is really good for not sewing since 6 years ago. I need to improve my sewing skills that is for sure. A+ on the soup and apron!

Mmmm, your soup and rolls look absolutely delicious! I really like your apron too:) Very cute!

I'm so glad you are blogging in support of Prop 8! I just made a post about it yesterday. It is so frustrating for those of us who have no voting rights in CA and can't do much about it! Good luck with the signs! We are praying for your state!

Yum! Those noodles look divine! It has been too long since I have had homemade noodles. Do you have one of those noodle makers then?
