WE GOT A TABLE!!!!!! Scott and I both think it adds to the house and it now seems even more like a home :)

Scott thought it was important to document the tables first cleaning in it's new home. 

So here are the pictures from our homemade ice cream experience. MMMM, yummy. I think I might go have a bowl right after this...

This is my birthday "cake" (brownies) with the tasty vanilla custard. Mmmmmm.

My dear husband has really wanted to contribute more to our blog. I offered to let him write the next blog but I think he would rather just be our blogs unofficial photographer. I am sorry if anyone finds any of the following to be offensive...

Scott was proud of me for not killing this already dead spider that is in a web on our stairs. I will just let him be proud. (As I silently become ill as I look at this picture)

He was very proud of himself for giving me a 'tattoo.'

...maybe he wanted to document the fact that we actually clean? :s

or not...apparently someone who so likes taking pictures of the inside of garbage cans could care less to share the fact that his wife likes to have a clean house...since he likes to show everyone our trash.

Our camera batteries are having issues and I (Cassie) was waiting for the batteries to charge so I could put pictures up, but sadly yet truly the batteries are just dead. So I will update you...without pictures. How boring is that?!

We had a week full of work for both of us and school for Scott. He got feeling well enough to go to classes and got caught up before finals (which are this week). I pretty much just worked. I did get a day off on Friday and ran some errands and went to a baby shower for my friend Aly. It was fun to see her and play the baby shower games. For the weekend Scott and I were able to watch all the sessions of conference here in Rexburg. As much as we would have liked to go to Salt Lake and see some family, we did enjoy having a somewhat relaxing weekend without rushing here and there. We also made my birthday ice cream (homemade vanilla custard) and it was delicious. Scott keeps saying how great it turned out, even after being frozen. He was pretty proud of us.

So now we have some things to look forward to this week:

*Scott getting done with two more classes

*getting Cassie's bike (hopefully, cross your fingers!)

*getting a real table and chairs!

*Going to Vernal 

*Roasting s'mores and wieners

*eating Cadbury cream eggs

*seeing Mayson (our adorable nephew)...and everybody else

and last but not least...

*coming home to Emily and Dan :) (they will be staying with us from the 10th to around the 20th)

Yay for family!

So our week can be told by one lonely picture:

These were at least my most valuable possessions this week. I got us sick early in the week and it was a tough bug. We are slowly getting over it. Being sick sure makes you grateful for being healthy! Poor Scott, finals are coming up and he missed out on a quiz this week because of this nasty cold. 

This 'little' friend is getting better, it's from Scott's first crash this year. 

His knee was pretty dirty, haha. He got some really good bruises but it was while I was sick so we didn't get pictures :s

Other than wrecks and being sick there were happy things in life this week. One of the sweet girls in our ward invited all the girls over to her house this Saturday for a "My Favorite things" party. It was so much fun! I made homemade craft books and some homemade clay for each of the girls.

I left with my bag looking like this...

and came home with this! The girls were so creative and we got some really fun things. It was a really great activity!

That same day was my birthday so Scott and I celebrated in our sicklyness of life by going to a movie in the morning and to the bike store that evening. We picked out and ordered a bike for ME! :) Horray! I am NOT going to be crazy like Scott and Daniel (as much as Scott dreams I would) but it will be fun to go on bike rides with my him and be able to save us some money on gas by taking my bike to classes. So anyways, we also got a PizzaHut tuscany meal with breadsticks, mmmmmm good! 

And here is proof of how sick Scott and I both are. Here is shown about the amount of 1 Cassie meal serving. That is about all I would usually eat, maybe a little tiny bit more. Well, this is Cassie AND Scott's serving amount. Poor Scott. He usually would be able to eat the whole rest of it without a problem but we were just so sick. Thank goodness for not being sick for the rest of our lives!

Last week I asked Scott to put my camera away.  A few minutes later Scott comes back with these babies...

What in the world?! Can you guess what either of these pictures are?

haha, I just love my Scott. He makes me laugh.

So this week my friend and I went to Idaho Falls to see the Titanic museum. It was pretty fun and interesting. It was worth it, especially for my friend! She loves stuff like this and loves reading about things like the Titanic. It was a nice break from the regular.

That same night Scott and I made our way over to Emily's. We had corn-beef and cabbage in celebration of St. Patty's. :) Emily made a very tasty soup.

and Scott made us a tasty cake. The frosting did not like the cake though and kind of ripped it apart. It was all the frostings fault, no need to accuse Emily...:)

This past week one of my friends made an easter wreath. I kind of copied her idea, adding my own bits and pieces...and made a big mess :) it was so much fun!

It turned out...very YELLOW :) horray! :)

On Friday we met up with Emily and Josh at Craigo's for dinner, an early birthday celebration for me. :) Craigo's had sent me a gift certificate so we used it and got some tasty food.

These are all the different plates of pizza Scott ate. Each picture IS a new plate.

Isn't it just amazing?! That guy can EAT!

thanks Josh and Emily for joining us! It was great fun :) We LOVE having family here to come play with us and pretend to like us every once and awhile ;)

I was done eating way before Scott and even then I felt so sick the rest of the night :s

Even after Scott made himself look preganat by eating so much food...he still didn't feel sick. haha.

The weather was so nice that Scott got to go biking with Dan yesterday. They didn't ride much but Scott still was able to injure himself. He got his knee pretty good (the picture is to come, I'm to lazy to upload it right now, plus you have plenty of pictures for this week right?) and, as he found out today while sitting for 3 hours in church, he also hit is tailbone pretty hard. He did not kill himself though :)

horray for happy weeks of random fun :)

This week was full of excitement! Cassie read three more books, bought a real table and chairs (no more card table bouncy-ness of life! We don't get it until the people move away in April though. But we still own it! They are just using it until they move :)), verified her FAFSA, and worked up a storm. Scott did homework, went to work and classes, did homework, took Cassie on a date, and did homework. We were able to go get our monthly groceries, it's crazy how much fun we have saving money and budgeting together. Yep, we are dorks. We also were invited to FHE at our stake president's house on Monday. It was really fun to meet his wife and hear their stories and testimonies. It was a great opportunity to get to know our leader :) It was a great week :)

We are both pretty excited to prepare for general conference in April and last week at Stake Conference I felt impressed to make a tradition for our little family to help prepare us for each conference. I had thought back on my childhood and asked Scott about his, trying to get my mind rolling and think of something we could do. So today in sacrament our inspired Bishop sparked this great tradition that this Kinghorn family is going to put into practice. He was sharing his testimony about the conference talks and was reminding us of what the member of the seventy had said to us about the "top 20" talks of conference which he personally studies throughout the year. These "top 20" are the talks of our dear Prophet and apostles. So the spirit came up with this great idea and whispered it in my ear :) We are going to read one "top 20" a day for the next 20 days, which will bring us to the eve of General Conference. Horray! I can't even tell you how excited I was, and still am, about this idea. Scott laughed at me and asked if I was excited for the opportunity to learn or because of how it works out to be 20 days before conference. Well, being the organized person that I am...well, I'm excited because of both! :)

I have decided that I love to cook! Especially for Scott, he loves everything-which makes it even more exciting knowing that he will more than likely enjoy it :) I took advantage of having canned biscuits yesterday and made more calzones. This time I made bbq chicken, mmmm good! With our lack of fresh ingredients I had to be a little creative, which made it even more fun for me :) I used: 1 chicken breast, 2 cups of broccoli, one onion, pizza seasoning, bbq sauce and cream cheese. They were really tasty and we enjoyed our time together as we ate them and watched a movie. It was a very eventful weekend :)

I have been working on a project that I have been thinking of doing for YEARS. One summer day my siblings and I were talking about all the crazy stuff we did as kids. I was getting into scrapbooking and came up with idea of making a scrapbook of these events. It's taken me a few years to really decide how to preserve these memories because of how super important they are to me, but I FINALLY have come up with a plan and have started this next project of life. 

So this "you know you're a Gale kid if..." book will be organized (cuz I'm all about organization) from A-Z! So cute! So I finally get to use all the different alphabets that I have collected over the years :)

My last project lived on our counter, making it difficult for Scott and I to do much there or use the toaster oven for a few weeks. This time I thought it through better and have things better organized so I can pick it up and move it without any problems. It will be a little inconvenient but it's my own fault, wanting to be in the same room as my handsome husband makes me do inconvenient things ;)

Our stake conference this weekend was very uplifting for Scott and I. We both received answers to things that we have been worried about. I just love how the gospel works like that! I am so grateful for Scott and all the love he shows me and the hard worker he is. I have been more and more touched each day at just how lucky we are. We are blessed in so many ways! We are so in love and have so much fun together. I am loving setting patterns of righteousness with him, my eternal companion. One of the things that was said by Elder Gary W. Walker of the seventy really made Scott and I laugh. He said, "Plan specifically and execute flexibly." Why is this funny, you might ask...well, I have a hard time being flexible whereas Scott has a hard time planning. It is something we are both going to work on but it was funny to see just how different we are in that respect but how in love we are anyways. Does God know what he is doing or what?! :) It was so wonderful to be reminded of the special promises that God has spoken. Knowing them and trusting in the Lord we honestly have no need to fear! 

So for your viewing pleasure I am adding one of our conversations from today to show you just one more reason why Scott and I are meant for each other:

1:30 pm... Scott: "So this lasagna needs to cook for 2 hours before we can eat it."

Cassie: "I am so glad you thought to look at that! I would have figured it out too late. So we should put it in at 3pm?"

Scott: "yeah, that should work fine."

1.25 hours later...Cassie: "Hey Scott, what time is it? Is it already 3?"

Scott (while playing on the computer): "It's 2:45. Why?"

Cassie: "the lasagna, remember."

Scott: looks confused for a minute and says, "Oh yeah! I forgot!"

One has to be smart so the other can remember what the smart one figures out.
