My sister taught me how to make these super cute flowers
And I even added a personal touch :) (the stitched edges). Aren't they adorable? I am currently going through the process of opening up a store to sell them. Either Etsy or Big Cartel...I haven't decided which yet. I'm excited to keep making them though!
And here is our amazing cheesecake again. Mmmmmm...it is so tasty! It turned out so perfect!
And another food creation, stuffed jalapenos...real spicy and real fatty and reallllly good. :D
In other news, I found myself a job.
Scott thinks I look cute in the uniform too...

but he is even cuter ...haha. We went on a very romantic date to a park outside of Rexburg to look at the starts. We got dinner at Arctic Circle and then made our way to our stargazing experience.
And the camera flash was bright.
the end.

Now for the second episode of, "What does a college graduate do with her spare time?"
First of all you need to understand that we don't have kids. Therefore, the exciting things that happen in our lives happen because we make them so. SOOO excitement=food. Have a problem with that? Then quit reading...
:)
Have I mentioned that I love my siblings? Even if they make fun of me blogging about the food we eat? Well, I love my siblings.
Now for what you have all been waiting for, the amazing food I made!
I made a homemade cheesecake...and have yet to taste it (it is in the fridge preparing itself to be eaten).

We also got Teancum some new rocks :)


Here he is playing dead while Scott holds him :)

MORE FOOD! :) Homemade rolls! This is my Grandma Hallie's recipe and it is the second time I've tried making them. This time I succeeded! We won't mention the first try...

AND I even ran a race to work off some of the food I've been making :)
It was a run for a cause even! Microcepahly :) Now you can play Where's Cassie... I am wearing a gray hat...


Yep. I'm a pretty amazing college graduate ;)

So now that I'm a college graduate some of you may be wondering how I use my time...
Well, other than applying to 12 jobs in one day I have also kept myself busy with some projects in the past week:
Tina taught me how to made CUTE little hair flowers when she was here for graduation. So I cut 145 circles...
I made a special Elvis flower...
and here is what I was able to create within the time Scott was gone for work...
I'm a flower girl now :)
I spent time being excited for my hubby :) He had a broken bike part that was sent in to get fixed and they sent him a brand new one. He loved how shiny and pretty it looked so he took a picture to remember it by...since it will get dirty on his bike of course!
I was a domestic person and made homemade granola...yummo!
I also spent some quality time with our little Teancum. He eats crickets and has advanced to eating the big ones instead of just baby ones. He gobbles them up like a crazy lizard! He also HATES these black gloves...as seen below :D

We went to Pocatello this weekend for the National Monster Truck finals! It was a blast!! We both really enjoyed ourselves and came home a little harder of hearing... :D
This was the line up when we got to the Holt Arena. Isn't the Dinosaur one too cool?!

And this is what the track looked like when we first got there.

And here is a taste of what we experienced... (I took 115 pictures! haha)






At one point they had this black car, with a stunt devil driving, come out to entertain us. The stunt driver said he was going to run the car into the two cars on top...

But he missed...

here's what the car looked like afterward.

They also had a tough truck competition. Scott and I had never heard of this and didn't know what to expect. So there is two rules: you have to have a vehicle and a person. That's it. Scott added to the rules though, the person preferably should be crazy...


So the winner of the tough truck competition was the person who went around the fastest. This white truck one...but with a huge price. haha. His axel is now caput.

We enjoyed great company...

Got a nice parking spot and watched as hundreds of silly people tried to get out of the parking lot they paid to park in...we parked for free :)

And did our best to keep some of our hearing intact :)

Here is a dose of the sounds that killed a few of our hearing nerve endings and the amazing skills we got to see....



Also, with our new living room arrangement we ended up with a huge glare on the TV so I made this snazzy curtain to fix the problem.I am super happy with how it turned out :)

Doesn't it look like he's trying to push the glass open? haha.
I asked our landlord if we could move the furnance out of the way so we could rearrange our living room and he said yes. HOORAY!
so here is the mess we were in... :)
Before:

After:


It so open now, so beautiful!
AND I moved a desk into the guest bedroom and made the desk (with Scott's approval) my scrapbook/craft desk. Just what I always wanted!!! And it's in a room where I can make a mess and then shut the door and forget about it. I haven't scrapbooked in a while because I didn't want to pull everything out and then have to put it back when I was finished.

I bought this entertainment center at DI for $5 and added some flavor to the scratched sides. What do you think?
