This morning Myrna and I went to pick up our Bountiful Baskets (see bountifulbasket.org) and got some awesome fruit and veggies for only $15! I definitely will be doing this again. Here is what we got:
We finally finished up with testing at school. Now I have not really been a believer in bribery at school, however, I had to resort to desperate measures in order to convince my students that they should do well on their tests. Our goal was for 75% of my students to pass each test (with 75% or above), which did not happen. We ended up with only 50% of the students passing each test, which will be a starting point for my students next year. The bribes included: cookies, chips, recess, gushers, no homework, etc., etc. It is amazing what kids will do for a treat.
Yesterday Matt and I headed up to Idaho for Jenni and Jared's wedding! We drove up with Tom and Lindsay and met Jeana and Marc there. The reception was beautiful and it was so fun to see our friend celebrate their marriage! After the reception, the three couples went to dinner at a restaurant called Gertie's, where we had unlimited pizza, pasta, salad bar, and drinks! The waiters brought different types of pizzas around and you would just take one if you wanted it! Some flavors included: ranch pizza, ranch/bacon/chicken pizza, saurkraut(I have no idea how to spell that) pizza, cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, bbq/chicken/buffalo/bacon pizza, double bacon pizza, idaho pizza.... on and on and on. While the normal pizzas are coming out, there were dessert pizzas coming out! Including Oreo pizza, raspberry pizza, strawberry pizza, reese's pieces pizza, peanut butter extravaganza..... on and on and on. It was such an amazing night. I haven't laughed that much in a long time! Matt and I have amazing friends! We love you guys!

First off, DARLING haircut! You look so cute! I think short hair looks perfect on you!
Second, I remember an old neighbor telling us about that Bountiful thing. What is it exactly? Can you go every week? How much is it? Is there a good selection? Do you mind emailing me the 411 on that whole thing. I am really interested. I looked at the website, but am not sure exactly what's what?! my email is mckensienaomi@gmail.com
Thank you Tori!
