Weekend

I have a terrible memory so I need to blog more about what we are doing in our lives. This weekend we truly did not do much. On Friday we ran a few errands. Brandon calls them "Brians" because I am always saying I need to run errands (Aaron's). So he says, well I have lots of Brians to run... It's pretty funny to us so now I call them Brians. We also call sushi "shushi" and I call Brandon my "hubband". We sort of have our own language. So we went and ran Brians on Friday at Home Depot (see post on Barkeepers Friend). And then we went to dinner at Tommys BBQ on Univ. Ave in Provo. Holy COW it was good guys. We used a buy one get one free coupon so it was like $7 for the both of us and it might be the best burger I have ever had in my life. That is a big deal. The bun was this onion soft amazing bread thing, and it was just scrumptious. Highly recommend trying it out. ALSO the customer service was tops. Manager said hello and everyone was so nice. Loved it. Then I think we went home and watched a movie (and okay maybe I immediately started cleaning with my new Barkeepers stuff.)

Saturday is our "cheat day". We have been trying to eat healthy and low-carb during the week, and then Saturday is our cheat day where we eat whatever we want. We sort of go crazy. Especially since we got the 2012 Entertainment coupon book, it becomes, "Okay what coupons can we use today?" We went to the gas station and got me a big delicious chocolate cake Dunford Doughnut. Perhaps I will have a separate post on how good they are, because they are my number 1 favorite. Honestly I eat around 3-4 a week. That is BAD so I am trying to cut down. I haven't even had any this week! Okay it's Tuesday but that's big for me. Then Brandon spotted a Delorean and we had to do an immediate U-turn and follow the guy to his house while Brandon tried to get a picture (don't worry I was driving). I've only seen Back to the Future maybe once, so this was not that amazing to me, but Brandon was REAL excited about it. We know where he lives now so if you'd like to take a picture with a Delorean just let us know. After that detour we went to Win-Co to get Brandon a doughnut because he likes theirs. I don't know why, they are truly average but it was cheat day and we do whatever we want! :) So we got treats there and saw this gem:


Why have just one?

Pretty funny stuff. So we got our treats and then went to Savers. Brandon is on the lookout for an ultralight fishing rod. No luck there, but Savers is ALWAYS entertaining. Then we went to Nordstrom and got me some of Taylor Swift's new perfume Wonderstruck! It smells so nice, but the problem is now that I got it home and am using it, it smells a little bit like plastic. I don't know what happened... hopefully it is just my nose playing tricks on me.
After Nords we went to Wallabys for dinner. It is a yummy Australian BBQ place in Lindon that we enjoy (again, another coupon :) ). Then we went and wandered around a few shops while our bellies rested. Then we decided we needed ice cream, so we went to Coneys Frozen Custard for our first time and got SERIOUS Cookies & Cream custard. I mean serious because it was thick, and creamy, and THICK. We got 2 scoops and could. not. finish. them.We both ate like half and had to stop. So delicious, but seriously get a tiny scoop and you will be just fine. 


After that we went to Brandon's friend Dave's house and played Mario Kart Wii for about 4 hours with some friends. It was a good time. 
Sunday went to church. It was nice and churchy. Then it was naptime. Sunday night Brandon went and watched foot game with his friends and I made cinnamon raisin bread. Didn't turn out so hot, It didn't rise that much? It was just dense and not very sweet. We still ate a bunch of it but I think it could have gone better. It was my first bread making experiment so gimme a break. Oh and I started watching Battlestar Gallactica which is REALLY GOOD. Brandon thought I was kidding but I really like it. Weird I know. But it's good.

Oh and we have been watching Sherlock lately, SUCH a good show. Season 1 is on Netflix and I have season 2 on my hard drive if anyone wants it. 

We also saw Puss in Boots and it was VERY funny. Really though we liked it a lot. Although it is weird to see cats salsa dancing together...

Oh and we saw Jack & Jill, the one with Adam Sandler? And it's exactly what it looks like, cheesy but actually kind of funny, and with a sweet ending.

That's about all that is going on with the Welling household lately. Bagheera and Kinga are doing good, I need to post pictures of them soon. 

If you read this I am really impressed because I really don't expect anyone too, it's ridiculously long but how else will I remember what we have been doing in our lives!?
