How do you Oreo?

Matt and I have had an ongoing disagreement about which kind of Oreos to buy. Being a good husband, Matt has usually gotten my kind, but last grocery trip, he caved to his own inner desires. Matt believes that normal Oreos are the best, the best for dipping, which is how he eats Oreos. I do not dip. I need the extra creme. So I double stuf.

This is how we compromise. We get both. His and hers Oreos.



I'd love to hear what kind you all like. (Maybe it's a woman thing, I need the extra sweetness?)

JACKETS

Many of the people who know me now do not know what I was like in high school. Things were different then. Full of packed cars, loud music, dance parties, slurpees (so many slurpees), and the BEST GIRLS EVER. Jenn, being the creative one, used our names to create a group name:
J- Jenn
A- Amy
C- Cocorina (Amie P.)
K- Kasi
E- Erika
T- Tori
S- Sarah

It has somehow stuck. I got a text message at 1:00 in the morning on Wednesday saying that the Jackets needed to get together. Tonight. Ok. So we drop everything and get together for dinner and frozen yogurt at Top It in Holliday. Love these girls. I miss you.

When Good Shoes Go Bad

So remember when you were in elementary school and how fun the last week of school was? Well it SUCKS for your teachers! I have been working like crazy to be ready for school to finish for the summer. Due to this craziness, my home has gotten a little out of hand. Alex text a picture to me of her bedroom, which consisted of a bed and a huge pile of clothes about knee high and six feet across. I sent her this picture in return:



Her reply?
"You can definitely tell we're related."

So that's what happens. Its no bueno.

Stalking

So, while I was stalking an old friend, I found a link to this blog:

This is about a couple who got married, sold everything they owned, and are now traveling the world.

WOW. I have added them to my stalking.

The Past Couple Weeks

We have been busy the last few days! Today, Matt and I got haircuts! I have been dying to get a haircut since all the Fischer women have had cute haircuts! Matt has not been looking forward to getting a haircut, and I had to bribe him in order to get him to come with me. He got his birthday present early, a new xbox 360 to replace the one we have that has not been working forever. Here is the result of my haircut... The first short haircut I've ever had in my life!



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!



Matt's sweet hair



This is my most recent project. I wanted something bright and colorful to represent summertime!
